The "yan" in Yanpu means "salt." Legend has it that the first Chinese settlers to arrive in the area traded ten carts' worth of salt for the land they farmed. 傳說鹽埔最早的中國移民是用十車的鹽買下他們耕作的地 。
According to the last census, 24,080 people live in Yanpu. 上次的人口統計表示鹽埔的人口是24,080人 。
This is on the former site of the Taisugar Pasture, now known as Shuangxin Park. They once raised silkworms here. Now it's just a quiet park in the middle of fields. 這個地方以前是台糖牧場 ， 現在則是雙新公園 。 以前這裡是蠶業改良場， 現在這塊地中央則成為一座安靜的公園 。
This sad bulldozer is parked next to another bygone tourist site, the "Big Ostrich Recreational Farm." They still keep some ostriches on the premises, but there's nothing here for tourists. 可憐的挖土機停在過去的景點: 大駝家觀光休閒農場 。 他們這裡還是養著鴕鳥， 只是沒有可以給遊客參觀的觀光服務了。
A slightly more viable tourist destination is the Old Ye Family Residence, not far from the Ailiao River. 靠近隘寮溪的葉家古厝歡迎遊客參觀。
I've seen many of these old residences, and I have to say that the Old Ye Family Residence is worth visiting. Some of its architectural details are interesting. 我參觀過許多古厝， 我覺得葉家古厝值得去 ， 有的建築設計很特別 。
It hasn't been kept in the best condition, however. I couldn't tell if its present condition was due to general neglect or the recent typhoon. 可惜這棟古厝缺乏妥善的保護 ， 我不知道它目前的樣子是因為缺人管理，或是因為最近颱風的影響 。
To the east is the Ailiao Riverside Trail. The view from here across the river toward Gaoshu and Sandimen isn't bad. 鹽埔的東部有隘寮河堤車道 ， 從這裡看過去，高樹和三地門的風景不錯 。
A warning though, the bicycle trails in this area are not well-maintained. 我只想警告大家 : 這個地區的單車道沒有受到好的照顧 。
The village to the west of the park has a nice temple. 公園西邊的村子有一座很好的廟 。
As you travel east towards Gaoshu the land slowly rises up to meet the mountains. 當你往東開往高樹，地形慢慢變高進入山區 。
This is also on the Ailiao River, but further northwest. 這也在隘寮溪上，比較西北邊 。
And last of all is Central Yanpu, the busiest part of the township by far. ...not that you can tell from this market, which was closed for the day. 最後逛過的是鹽埔市區 --最熱鬧的部分 。 這個市場看不出來熱鬧在哪裡 ， 因為我們到的時間已經快中午了。
