Taiwu Township, Pingtung County 屏東縣泰武鄉遊記

Taiwu Township is east of Wanluan and north of Laiyi.  It's in the mountains, has a very small population, and most of its residents are members of the Paiwan Tribe. 泰武鄉位於萬巒的東部和 來義的北部 。 泰武鄉位在山區, 人口少 ,大部分的居民是排灣族

According to the last census, 5,364 people live in Taiwu. 根據上次的人口統計 , 泰武的人口數是5,364人 。


This is Taiwu Village, not far from the Mountainside Highway (#185). 這是靠近沿山公路泰武部落 。


From Taiwu Village the main road leads into the mountains.  Many cyclists do a loop through the area, from Taiwu to Jiaping. 從泰武部落的大馬路往山區 。 很多單車騎士喜歡從泰武騎到佳平 。



This is Jiaping Village. 佳平部落 。


This is near the highest point of the loop between Taiwu and Jiaping. 這在泰武佳平中間的最高點附近 。


That's Taiwu Village down below.  Beyond that is Wanluan Township. 下面是泰武部落 。 遠方當背景的是萬巒鄉 。




This is west of Jiaping, much closer to the Mountainside Highway.  I believe they raise chickens in that white building. 這在佳平部落的西部 ,比較靠近沿山公路 。  白色的建築好像是養雞場。



This is the entrance to Jiaping Village. 佳平部落的入口 。


Local art.  The hundred pace snake figures prominently in local folk beliefs. 當地藝術 。  百步蛇是當地民間信仰的重要角色 。


Locals engaged in farming grow pineapples and mangoes to the exclusion of almost everything else.  I saw a field of taro, and there was a nearby field that looked like millet, but the millet field was very overgrown. 當地農夫大部分種的是鳳梨跟芒果 。  我看到一塊田種芋頭 , 還有一塊田種小米 , 可是小米田中長了很多雜草 。


This is at the north end of the township, near the Wanan Water Park.  This might be the most visited part of Taiwu.  While we were there we saw several other tourists. 這裡在泰武鄉的北部 ,靠近萬安親水公園 ,可能是泰武比較多觀光客的地方 , 我們那一天看到了幾個遊客。


My honest opinion?  This place is OK, but there are better places to soak (never mind swim) in a local rivers.  The road to get up here is also very small. 我的意見呢 ?  我覺得這個景點還好 。 附近還有更好的地方可以玩水(不是游泳) , 而且來這裡的那條路也很小 。


And that's Taiwu Township.  There are a couple waterfalls I missed, but those are much deeper in the mountains, and we didn't feel like putting our new car tires to the test that day. 這就是泰武鄉 ,雖然還有兩個瀑布在深山裡,可是我們當天不想測試車子的性能。

NOTE: Next semester?  If I'm still living on the west coast I'll be continuing my exploration of Pingtung, Kaohsiung and Tainan.  If I'm living in Taitung I'll be exploring Pingtung, Taitung and Hualien.
