[郊遊] 明湖水漾。二。樂山水。

April 20-21, 2007
Young Lake Resort．II．Scenery


座落於明湖水漾會館園區內的湖畔咖啡屋，
備有室內跟露天的座位可供選擇。

The coffee shop serves tables both indoors and outdoors.
It's up to the tourists' choice to stay indoors with air-conditioner
or enjoy the lakeside view with natural breeze~





露天咖啡座旁的扶欄上，裝設了多盏造景與照明功能兼具的小燈。
我們的桌子旁邊，剛好有一盞，標示的號碼是桌號。
從我們的座位往湖面看去，這爿湖就是明德水庫，
這可是苗栗地區居民的重要水源呢！

A string of lamps are decorated on the guard rail along the outdoor tables. The lamps are not only for landscaping, they function to illuminate the garden at night. The lamp beside us labeled as "5" marks the number of our table.
Having a view of the lake from our seats, it is the Ming-Te Reservoir. The reservoir is the most important water resource for the residents in Miao-Li county.





我們的座位旁有棵樹，三兩樹枝伸展到我們的座位上方。
從遮陽傘下看上去，點點樹葉映在傘面上，
好像畫上去的圖案一般，挺美的呢～

There is a tree standing beside our table with its branches stretching across the sky. Looking upwards under the sunshade, the silhouette of the leaves looks like a poetic painting.




坐在湖畔喝咖啡。
明德水庫的美麗景緻盡收眼底。

Iced coffee cooled down the atmosphere under the sun.
We had a joyful time having tasty coffee and admiring the beautiful scenery.




水庫區有汽艇遊湖的服務。
我們當然也小小享受了一下在水面上飆汽艇的快感！
畫面是一個浮筒式的小碼頭，
僅供遊客就近觀覽湖景之用，不提供上下汽艇的服務。

We got on the mini-motorboat and had a short trip around the reservoir. The driver was so skillful that we could experience an exciting trip.
The dock in the photo is a pontoon dock for tourists to view the lake more closely. It does not serve as a dock for boarding on a mini-motorboat.




下午茶後，男生們都回房間去睡午覺了。
三個女生則去SPA區快樂的玩了一回水～

下午五點半。
從我們的房間往外看，赫然發現中庭的草地上，
戶外晚餐的桌椅已經擺置妥當，開始準備上菜了！

After coffee time, Papa and Daddy went back to rooms and took a rest. Mama, Xiyun and Mummy, we went to the SPA area and relaxed in water.
It was said "Women are made of water"...
Sounds true for we three are kinda "hydrophilic"~

The photo below was taken at 5:30 pm from the window of our room. The tables were set ready for dinner.




這個週末的客人還真不少，
幾乎每個桌位都是全家歡聚的場面！
天色完全暗了。
現場薩克斯風演奏，加上燈光的點綴，
讓整個用餐時光既熱鬧又溫馨。

Dinner was served as buffet.
With a living show of saxophone and decorated illuminations,
everybody enjoyed a delightful dining this evening.
