錯過的快來補課！現在還很懷念古坑的咖啡香呢！

如果你不想長途開車、也不想參加旅行團，台灣好行是個不錯的選擇，在雲林，有兩條路線可以安排，今天我搭乘的是斗六古坑線，它會帶我去一些好玩的地方。
If you don’t want to drive your own car or join a tour group, the Taiwan Tourist Shuttle service is a great way to get around. In Yunlin, the shuttles run on two routes. The one I’m taking today is the Douliu Gukeng route, which passes through a bunch of fun places.

2016-2017 Episode 26 Douliu Gukeng Shuttle Bus 斗六、古坑真好玩(雲林)

雲林的斗六市，有一個相當熱門的景點，隱身在寧靜的雲中街，興建於1937年，在日治時期，這裡原本是警察宿舍群，經過了重新整修，現在變成了新興的文創聚落。
Yunlin’s Douliu has a pretty famous attraction that’s hidden along the city’s quiet Yunzhong Street. Built in 1937 during the Japanese colonial period, this complex was used as housing for the city’s police force, before it was redeveloped as a village for creative industry.

以前，我對黑膠唱片的印象，都是從電影或電視裡來的，今天可以親耳聽到，感受特別的不一樣。
Before, my only impressions of old-style black vinyl records all came from movies and TV shows. But today, I’ve got the chance to listen to and experience their special sound firsthand.

懷舊，是一種很奇妙的情感，不管你有沒有經過那段歲月，不管是你是本國人或外國人，都很容易被週遭營造出的氛圍，帶進當年的故事之中
Nostalgia is a funny thing. In the right surroundings, you can get a sense of a place’s unique history, no matter where you’re from or whether you lived through that era. This is the kind of place that can let you feel like you’re really taking a step back into the past.

這裡是華山咖啡大街看那裡密密麻麻的招牌，我想這裡應該是世界上，咖啡店密度最高的一條街了吧。
This is Huashan Coffee Street. Take a look at all the shop signs. I think this street must have the world’s highest concentration of coffee shops.

在環境和氣候上，雲林的古坑，都非常適合咖啡樹的生長。
In terms of climate and environment, Yunlin’s Gukeng Township is highly suited to growing coffee.

我從未吃過咖啡的果實。I’ve never tested coffee cherry before.

甜甜的，味道滿像棗子的。It’s sweet and teste like a jujube.

據說英國人和荷蘭人，都在這裡種過咖啡，到了1931年，日本人重新引進了阿拉比卡咖啡，並且在古坑開始大量種植，而當時所生產的原豆，大部份都運回了日本。
It’s been said that both English and Dutch settlers used to grow coffee here. In 1931, the Japanese started large-scale cultivation of the Arabica variety of coffee beans in Gukeng, shipping most of their production back to Japan.

收成後，咖啡果實需要曝曬在陽光下，這稱為日曬處理法。
After harvesting,coffee cherries need to be spread out in the sun.This is called dry processing.

在過去以前台灣人沒有喝咖啡的習慣，所以古坑的咖啡園曾經被荒廢了一段時間，一直到2003年，鄉公所開始舉辦「台灣咖啡節｣的活動，成功掀起台灣咖啡旋風，也讓雲林古坑，成為台灣咖啡的代名詞。
Up until the last decade or so, coffee-drinking wasn’t common in Taiwan, and Gukeng’s coffee fields were left unplanted during periods of low demand. Then, in 2003, the Gukeng Township office started holding the yearly “Taiwan Coffee Festival,” which proved a success in popularizing coffee among Taiwanese. The festival also made Yunlin’s Gukeng synonymous with the drink.

我不是咖啡專家，所以喝不出他們說的果香，不過，這個味道我倒是蠻喜歡的。
I’m not a coffee expert, so I can’t really make out the fruity notes that they mention. But I really like the taste!

除了喝咖啡之外，華山咖啡休閒園區裡，還規劃了14條主題步道，不同的路線，也會讓你有不同的驚喜。
Aside from being a place to drink coffee, Huashan Coffee Street has over 14 themed walking itineraries, which you can take to discover all kinds of surprises.

哇～！你看那個，好酷哦！Wow! Look at that! So cool!

這一個個蘑菇，其實是早期台灣農村所使用的穀倉，為了保存這個回憶中部樸實外觀的穀倉建築，這裡的主人因此特別仿照，建構出這別具韻味的特色建築。
Mushroom-shaped structures like these were actually used as storehouses for grain back in the day. To preserve some idea of what Gukeng used to look like, one person designed these buildings to resemble the town’s old-fashioned granaries.

雲林是台灣中部的農業大縣，在這可發現台灣不一樣的面貌，有機會的話，你一定要親自來感受一下。
In Yunlin, the agricultural base of central Taiwan, you can see a different side of Taiwan. If you get the opportunity, you should definitely come and take a look.
