看，阿里山的日出！- by 小媛
♚ 安蘭居打工換宿 by 小媛 ♚
暨台灣人越來盛行去國外打工渡假
也就是所謂的 Work &Travel
這幾年流行的打工換宿我當然也不能錯過囉 ！
趁著今年暑假的偷閒時刻
我來到嘉義安蘭居青年旅館打工換宿
沒想到台灣跟國外的hostel 如此不同
雖然概念來自國外
但卻又融合台灣民宿的親切感
最另我驚豔的是，在安蘭居也能看到阿里山的日出 ！！！
Working holiday abroad (also called work & travel ) is getting more and more popular in Taiwan and I don't want to miss the boat!
During the leisure time I had in summer vacation, I went to AN LAN JIE to have my working holiday.I didn't know that hostels in Taiwan was so different from any other country before. Although the concept was from the west but hostels in Taiwan ingeniously combined it with the unique Taiwanese friendliness.
Moreover, to my surprise, I could also watch the sunrise from Alishan at AN LAN JIE !
在嘉義打工換宿的心願之一就是去阿里山看日出
沒想到在換宿的第五天實現了 ！在這麼臨時的情況下去阿里山
住宿是首先要搞定的事情 ！因為遊客真的是多到爆炸！
若想省時的朋友 建議住在阿里山森林遊樂區裡的飯店或旅館
以C/P 值來說 阿里山上的住宿確實偏高
p.s. 阿里山的路況不是很好，而且有些地方都單行道建議想上看日出朋 阿里山的路況不是很好，而且有些地方都單行道建議想上看日出朋 阿里山的路況不是很好，而且有些地方都單行道建議想上看日出朋 阿里山的路況不是很好，而且有些地方都單行道建議想上看日出朋 阿里山的路況不是很好，而且有些地方都單行道建議想上看日出朋友在上面住一晚
One of my wishes during working holiday in Chiayi was to watch the sunrise from Alishan and I didn't expect I could make it happen on the fifth day.
As we decided to go to Alishan all of a sudden, where to spend nights was the most critical thing we had to deal with. There was always a large crowd of people in Alishan. For those who wanted to make the trip more time-saving, I suggested them to have accommodations the preceding night. According to Cost Performance Index (CPI), the price of spending nights in Alishan was much expensive.
p.s. The road conditions of Alishan was not so stable and some roads were one way streets so staying there the night before was suggested!
原本嘉義市區到阿里山還有火車可以搭的
現在要上山只能依靠公車
經過兩個多小時
我們終於抵達阿里山森林遊樂區了 ！
There were trains to Alishan from Central Chiayi in the past but now people could only take buses there.
After spending two more hours on the bus, we finally arrived Alishan Forest Recreation Area.
我們就直接衝向阿里山小火車囉 ~
下圖為 阿里山小火車的站 (總站 )
We rushed to Alishan Forest Train after we finished check-in.
The picture below was Alishan Station ( the terminal station)
目前阿里山小火車分為沼平線、神木線、祝山線，而祝山線就是看日出的地點 ！
買了神木線的車票後 就展開我們的阿里山初體驗
There were three railway branch lines: Zhaoping Line, Shermuh Line and Zhushan Line. Zhushan Line was where people could watch the sunrise.
After buying tickets to Shermuh Line, our trip to Alishan for the first began.
一路上
我們都在看每一棵神木的年紀結果一棵比一顆還驚人 ！
One the way, we paid attention to the age of each Shermuh (divine trees).
The tree age of each one was astonishingly old!
走著
我們就沿著步道走到沼平站
結果才發現 ．．．
最後一班小火車已經開走了 ！！！
所以我們在又冷餓的情況下
繼續沿著步道走回小火車的總站 (嘆)
We walked and walked along the path to Zhaoping Station.However when we finally arrived there, the last train had already gone! Then we went back to the terminal station along the original path; all of us were cold and hungry. (sigh)

4：00 a.m.
我們已經在小火車站前排隊
雖然覺得好冷
不過人超多的！！ (興奮 )
4:00 am
We had already lined up in front of the station.
Although it was so cold, there were still a lot of people. (excited !)
到了祝山之後大家依然在等待日出的到來
While reaching Zhushan, everyone was waiting for the sunrise.
但是這邊已經美得不像話了 ！
只有親身體驗
才是阿里山日出的最佳代言
Even though the Sun didn't showed up, the view was shockingly gorgeous! The best endorsement of Alishan's amazing scenery of sunrise was everyone got here and experienced personally.
漸漸地天亮了
我們還是沒看到日出
雖然有點失望
不過這一片雲海已經滿足我們了！
It was getting bright but the sky seemed to give no hint of the sun that should appear from clouds.We all felt a little bit disappointed but the scene of endless sea of clouds stretched across the horizon had ready satisfied us.
離開時
才發現這是全台最高的鐵路
2451 公尺
難怪會冷成這樣 ！！
When we were about to leave, we found that this was the highest railway in Taiwan, a location at an elevation of 2451 meters above sea level. No wonder it was chilly cold here.
在結束這趟阿里山日出之旅前
我們在小火車總站拍了張合照
順便跟阿里山說再見
因為我會再來的 ！
Before our trip to Alishan had come to an end, we had some group photos in front of the terminal station, saying goodbye to Alishan.
I was greatly sure that I would be back here someday!
