Jan 2025【日本東北】溫泉三昧之旅⑤ 在大雪飄落的雪國,追尋秘湯之宿與極上美食(福島~被時光遺忘下的江戶原風景,日本三大茅葺聚落大內宿)

圖片
清晨的陽光穿過窗櫺,灑落在榻榻米上,為房間增添了一抹溫暖的光輝。窗外,白雪皚皚的山脈在晴朗的天空下閃閃發光,預示著美好的一天。我起身走到窗邊,深深吸了一口清新的冬日空氣,心中充滿了對即將到來的一天以及仙峽閣旅館美味早餐的期待。 旅館的餐廳瀰漫著舒適的氛圍。我坐在窗邊的座位上,渴望一邊欣賞迷人的雪景,一邊享用我的早餐。一個擺盤精美的早餐托盤送到了面前,上面擺滿了各種誘人的菜餚。 我的目光首先被一碗晶瑩剔透的白米飯吸引,它的香氣瀰漫在空氣中。旁邊是一份色彩繽紛的沙拉,新鮮的蔬菜搭配玉米粒,令人食慾大增。烤鮭魚散發著陣陣香味,魚皮烤得酥脆可口。溫泉蛋浸泡在清淡的高湯中,看起來既美味又暖胃。 其他幾道小菜也讓這份早餐更加豐富:燉菠菜、裙帶菜炒蒟蒻、山藥泥佐醬油,以及醃梅子和醃黃瓜。最後,一小杯香甜的芒果優格為這頓早餐畫上了完美的句點。 這份早餐不僅美味,而且營養均衡,為我在這個冬季仙境中探索一天提供了滿滿的能量。我細細品味著每一道菜餚,感受著旅館的用心和款待,心中充滿了感激之情,感謝這美好的一天有如此美好的開始。 飯後早晨,我踏出旅館的暖簾,迎接我的是一片銀白色的世界。蘆之牧溫泉街靜靜地沉睡在會津深山的懷抱中,厚厚的積雪覆蓋著屋頂、街道和樹木,彷彿時間也凍結在這一刻。 呼出的氣息在冰冷的空氣中凝結成白霧,我沿著溫泉街漫步,腳步聲在寂靜的早晨顯得格外清晰。偶爾,可以聽見屋簷上融雪滴落的聲音,或是遠處傳來的幾聲鳥鳴,更增添了這份寧靜的氛圍。 阿賀川靜靜地流淌在山谷間,河面上覆蓋著薄薄的冰層,在陽光的照射下閃閃發光。河岸邊的樹木披上了雪白的冬衣,枝椏交錯,形成一道道優美的弧線。溫泉旅館的屋頂冒著裊裊炊煙,為這寒冷的冬日增添了一絲溫暖。 漫步在空無一人的溫泉街上,我彷彿置身於一個與世隔絕的世外桃源。這份寂靜,這份純淨,洗滌了我的心靈,讓我感受到久違的平靜與祥和。 凛冬將群山染成了素雅的銀白,積雪在山坡上鋪陳開來,厚薄錯落,像是誰不經意間揮灑的筆墨,濃淡相宜。裸露的枝枒,在寒風中輕輕搖曳,仿佛在低聲訴說著冬日的故事。遠處的山巒,在霧氣的籠罩下,若隱若現,宛如仙境一般,讓人心生嚮往。 蘆之牧溫泉的冬日,沒有喧囂,沒有繁華,只有那份獨特的靜謐與安詳,像一首悠揚的樂曲,在山谷間輕輕回蕩,令人陶醉其中,忘卻了塵世的煩惱。 這山,這雪,這寧靜的溫泉小鎮,這氤氳的霧氣,交織成一幅絕美的冬日畫卷,...

2018, June 11~16【泰北♡清萊】Travel to Chiang Rai, Northern Thailand (4th visit to Thailand)

端午節前夕,請了五天特休假,再次來到泰國北部清萊旅行!🇹🇭🐸🐵🐝
抵達曼谷機場後,開車一路往北,將近八百公里的路程,來到了蘭納王朝-清萊。
清萊是蘭納王朝興建的第一個首都,在蘭納王朝上有舉足輕重的地位,17世紀時曾被緬甸佔領,後來才歸還泰國,成為現今泰國最北的城府。帶著蘭納王朝的血統,泰北清萊及清邁的方言,與泰國南部的官話不同,比較接近於寮國與雲南傣族的語言,至今仍廣泛使用於泰北地區。而蘭納也有自已的文字系統,其文字則是改編自佛教巴利文,稱為Tham,字母和泰文大不相同。
佛教不但是古時人民重要的精神支持,也是平民受教育的唯一可能,而現在泰北寺廟裡的經文,仍以蘭納文字書寫。 蘭納地區的民俗節日以潑水節 (Songkran) 和水燈節 (Loi Kratong) 最為知名。潑水節也是泰國的新年,於每年的4月13~15日舉行,人們互相潑水以賀新年新希望。而泰北的水燈節更結合了天燈節 (Yi Peng),慶典活動更為熱鬧,水燈節於每年的11月左右舉行,人們施放蠟燭隨水漂流,或是讓天燈隨風而逝,可去除一年的厄運,帶來上天的祝福。
這次來到泰國,去了一些寺廟、逛了傳統市集,去了富有原始景色的叢林健行,造訪了 Khun Korn Waterfall、Pu Kaeng Waterfall 兩個瀑布。接著繼續一路向北,到了泰國最北點-美塞(Mae Sai)。
最後也去了傳說中的金三角(Golden Triangle)。金三角曾經是世界上生產最多鴉片、海洛英等毒品的地方,過去不少大毒販都集中在這裡,毒品交易多不勝數。直至近年,泰國政府全面禁毒,積極打壓不法分子,金三角地區終於不再種植罌粟花,改為種植稻米、水果和蔬菜。如今的金三角已經不再與毒品有關係,而變成遠近馳名的觀光區。
接下來,再往山上開車約一個半小時,到了盛產茶葉的中國雲南族村莊-美斯樂(Doi Mae Salong),在這裡品嚐了正港的雲南豬腳🐷、饅頭,以及高山烏龍茶🍵
旅途中,品嚐了好多美味又便宜的泰式料理(連路邊攤的CP值都超高),也喝了不少好喝的咖啡☕ ,還首次在泰國享受了天然溫泉♨️,下次要去清邁看大象🐘🐘🌲



The City of Chiang Rai was founded in 1262 by the first king of Lanna - King Meng Rai as the first capital of the Lanna Kingdom. Chiang Rai is historic Thai cultural place with Lanna Style lifestyle, activities, festivals and community events are conducted at The Legend Chiang Rai.


As a part of the Kingdom of Thailand the Lanna cities of Chiang Mai, Chiang Rai, Lampang, Lamphun, Chiang Saen, Payao, and Nan are all administered by Thai governors and officials, just like the rest of Thailand. However, the legacy of 1,000 years of history is stunningly beautiful in its complexity, making Lanna, and Chiang Mai in particular, one of the most visited historical cities in the whole of Asia.

June 13 - Spend a day in Phayao
Phayao has a long history; established in 1095 it became the centre of a small state which succeeded somehow to remain independent until the 15th century when it became part of the Lanna Kingdom which was ruling over the north of Thailand at that time. Phayao became an independent province only in 1977 – until that it had been a part of Chiang Rai province.

Visit to the world famous Golden Triangle
Visiting the renowned Golden Triangle is a must to complete the trip to Chiang Rai province! 
This is the famous location where the borders of Thailand, Laos, and Myanmar meet in the middle of the Mekong River. 
The Golden Triangle was formerly known as the world’s major producer of opium, which was later improved thanks to the works of the Royal Projects. It is also the birthplace of various legends of the Lanna culture.




























Driving from Golden Triangle to Doi Mae Salong






Pa Tueng Hot Spring
Our first stop is at the Pa Tueng Hot Spring. It is alson known as ‘Huao Hin Fon Hot Springs’. It is a quiet and peaceful place for every families. If you’re going to have long holidays, you should start planning for reaching there.































Doi Mae Salong a small, ethnically Chinese village with delicious Yunnanese food, located northwest of Chiang Rai. The village is at an elevation of 1,130 meters, not too high, but high enough to have fresh mountain air, and cooler weather.

At the end of the Chinese Civil War, a group of Chinese, who wouldn’t succumb to defeat, lived nomadic lives in Myanmar. Eventually they found their way to the hilltops of Mae Salong, where they set up a village.  The Thai government allowed them to stay in Thailand, as long as they fought for Thailand.





















The mountain view of Doi Mae Salong
Mae Salong is an absolute tea drinkers paradise, and many of the local people in Mae Salong were friendly and inviting.







Chinese steamed buns (mantou) and Yunnanese style Braised Pork Leg are probably the most famous food to eat at Mae Salong.

















View of the mountain village on our Mae Salong half day trip! Mae Salong is a wonderful place to visit.















Finally, enjoy the hot spring in Pa Tueng Onsen before flying to Bangkok.





It was a wonderful trip but very short! See you soon Chiang Rai.
