礁溪泡湯，宜蘭好吃又能放鬆☝🏻
補課補課❤️

觀光局曾經選出台灣十大觀光小城...
It’s one of Taiwan’s top ten tourist towns as selected by the Tourism Bureau.
今天我要去拜訪的，是宜蘭的礁溪！
Today I’m going to Jiaoxi in Yilan County!

2016-2017 Episode 38 Jiaoxi Route/來去礁溪趴趴走

礁溪，是宜蘭最有名的觀光勝地，當你來到這裡，一定會做的事，就是泡溫泉。
Jiaoxi is Yilan’s most famous tourist destinati on. If you come here you should definitely make sure to soak in the town’s famous hot springs.

早在漢人來到宜蘭，開墾的18世紀時，便發現溫泉這得天獨厚的寶藏，到了日治時期，開始興建觀光旅館，從此，溫泉就成了礁溪的代名詞。
Immigrants coming from China to Yilan back in the 18th century were the first to spread word about Jiaoxi’s hot springs, and in the Japanese colonial period the town was developed with hotels for tourists. Ever since then, Jiaoxi has been a byword for hot springs.

這裡是湯圍溝溫泉公園，即使是夏天，還是擠滿了人，當然，我也要來試試...
This is Tangweigou Park. Even in summer, it’s full of bathers. Of course, I’m going in too.

感覺有點像是冬天吃冰淇淋....什麼滋味只有你自己知道！
It feels a little like eating ice cream in winter. Only you yourself really know how it is!

礁溪有非常多樣的泡湯樂趣，你可以選擇跟大家窩在一起，或自己一人享受清幽的環境。
There are plenty of ways to enjoy the hot springs in Jiaoxi. You can choose to soak with others, or bathe by yourself in peaceful solitude.

在泡溫泉的時候，有些規矩和禁忌，像是不能邊泡溫泉、邊吃東西，但是有一個地方，偏偏鼓勵你這樣做。
When bathing in hot springs, one general rule is not to soak and eat at the same time. But there is one place that encourages you to do just that.

我的腳泡著熱呼呼的溫泉，現在我要享用熱呼呼的拉麵...
My foot is soaking in the hot bath, while I’m heating a hot bowl of ramen!

真是個有趣的體驗
Really fun experience

礁溪溫泉是台灣少見的平地溫泉，據說在以前，只要隨便往地上挖個洞，溫泉就會源源不絕的湧出來，或許就是從這裡得到靈感，礁溪的農夫，開始種起了溫泉蔬菜。
The hot springs in Jiaoxi are some of the few in Taiwan located on the island’s coastal plains. It used to be said that all you had to do was to dig deep enough, and spring water would come rushing out. Maybe that myth was inspired by Jiaoxi, and the farmers here who have begun to grow hot spring vegetables.

這是台灣一般看到的空心菜，這是礁溪的溫泉空心菜，是不是差很多呢？
This is the water spinach grown in the rest of Taiwan, while this is the water spinach grown in Jiaoxi. It’s quite different, no?

因為礁溪溫泉含有豐富的礦物質，所以種植出來的空心菜，不但生長快速，而且莖粗、葉大，不管用什麼方法來烹煮，端上桌都是一樣的脆綠鮮美。
The hot springs of Jiaoxi are rich in minerals, which help the water spinach here grow faster than normal and gives the plants larger stems and leaves. No matter how you cook it, it’s always a crispy and healthy delight.

好厲害的聲音... What a sound!

來到宜蘭，想挑伴手禮有一個不錯的選擇。
Visitors to Yilan have a good choice when it comes to gifts for friends and family back home.

這個扁扁的東西叫做鴨賞，這裡面，其實是一整隻的鴨子。
This is sugarcane-smoked duck. There’s actually a whole duck inside.

宜蘭地區盛行養鴨，但是多雨潮溼的氣候，不適合用風乾法來保存鴨肉，於是這裡的人想到了，先把鴨肉醃製後，再用甘蔗來煙燻，造就出這風味獨特的鴨賞。
Yilan is a center of duck farming, but the region’s rainy and moist climate isn’t good for air-drying duck meat. So people here came up with a another way of preserving duck, by first curing it and then smoking it with sugarcane, for a special flavor.

好香哦～可是有一點點鹹，配啤酒應該會不錯！
Delicious, it’s a little salty, so it goes great with beer!

鴨賞是宜蘭最有名的特產，也是用來招待外賓的國宴料理，有機會的話，你一定要來嚐一嚐。
Sugarcane-smoked duck is Yilan’s most famous local product, and it’s even been served to guests at national banquets! If you have the chance, you should definitely try some.

本影片我選小白菜為範例，主因是小白菜為最常見的蔬菜之一，也是很好栽種蔬菜，初次嘗試蔬菜盆栽朋友可以先由小白菜(或是青蔥，空心菜)入門，種幾次後就會熟悉，也可能愛上盆栽。影片內介紹盆栽4層填土法，平凡其實是都是科學驗證後最佳最省時間力氣之方法，給網友參考。我個人比較喜歡多年植物盆栽，如金桔，紫檀，紅豆杉，紅檜，木麻黃，肖楠苗，長得很慢很慢之小樹盆栽。住在都市，有土耕種不可能，只要你有陽台每天4小時以上日照，花5分鐘，草牛推薦你來做都市耕種，可享受分分秒秒的快樂，持續一天，一周，一個月，甚至一生。 都市人如何享受盆栽的樂趣?只要願意動手，愉悅跟著來。
:)
都市耕種盆栽，包括以下幾環節
1. 育種
2. 植入盆栽
3. 盆栽更土施肥
4. 修剪維護 (多年生植物)
是小白菜為含維生素和礦物質最豐富的蔬菜之一，有助於增強機體免疫能力。小白菜中含有大量纖維，可防止血漿膽固醇形成，從而保持血管彈性。小白菜中含有大量胡蘿蔔素比豆類，番茄，瓜類都多，並且還有豐富的維生素C，可促進皮膚細胞代謝，延緩衰老。小白菜中所含的礦物質能夠促進骨骼的發育。

Living in a city and want to grow a garden? As long as you have a balcony with 4+ hours day lights, then it's a go. Enjoy the fun of gardening.
