咩咩羊

這是我第一次到一直很想去的薰衣草森林

This is my first time going to Lavender Cottage

 

全台灣共有四家薰衣草森林

There are four lavender cottages in Taiwan

 

台中、苗栗、新竹

Taichung,Miaoli,and Hsinchu

 

這次拜訪了薰衣草森林苗栗明德店

This time I visited Lavender Cottage of Miaoli Matilda Branch

 

門票100元

Ticket prices:$100

 

我一開始懷疑有沒有走錯因為週邊雜草叢生.....哈哈哈

I doubted whether I lost my way at first because there were many trees and underbrush all around

 

不過入口兩個立牌很明顯暗示我就是這裡了!!

However,two signs at entrance implies that this is my destination!!

進去後第一間可愛的房子叫 小甜心

The first house that I entered is called Little Sweet Heart

 

還有可愛的粉紅小熊迎接我們

There is a cute pink bear greeting us

 

女生看到了可愛的熊及房子一定會心花怒放阿~

If girls see this cute bear and house, they must burst with joy

暖黃色燈光搭配著窗外陽光灑進屋內

Warm yellow light with sunshine sprinkling through windows into the house

 

不禁讓人想待在屋子裡頭欣賞溫馨的裝飾、漂亮的插畫

It makes me want to stay here and enjoy these heartwarming decorations and beautiful illustrations

還有可愛的餅乾與麵包~散發著甜甜的香氣

The cute cookies and breads emitting sweetness 

 

稍稍喚醒了我的胃.......

It whets my appetite a bit

 

小甜心外面也在賣屋子裡面的點心

Desserts from Little Sweet Heart are for sale outside

 

薰衣草森林裡不定時會出現馬來貘

The Malayan tapirs show up once a while in the Lavender Cottage

 

香草鋪子  Herb shop

 

香草鋪子外還有可愛的櫥窗~

Lovely display window outside the herb shop

 

賣紀念品的地方

只要付明信片的錢就並投入外面的郵筒就可寄出

Buy the postcard and drop it in the mailbox outside.

 

而且不分國內外唷!!!超划算~

我選了三張明信片寄到國外給我的外國朋友~

他們收到一定很開心 

They must be happy when they receive the postcards

 

四種郵筒任君挑選

薰衣草田 Lavender fields

薰衣草如同紫色精靈般穿梭在綠地中

Lavenders shuttling through the field like purple fairies

 

低調地引起了你的目光

Meekly catches your eye

 

沿著石階慢慢往上爬

Walk up slowly on the stone steps

 

美景配一句簡單的話"遠遠的凝望，也是一種守護的方式"

Beautiful scenery is captioned: "Gazing out from afar is another way of guarding"

 

更浪漫

More romantic

每一季的薰衣草品種都不同

Lavenders have different varieties each season

 

不必擔心你來的時候沒有薰衣草可以看

There are always lavenders for you to see 

 

爬上去後回頭看剛剛走過的路

Clime up and look back the way you passed

再爬得更高往許願樹邁進

Higher up to the wishing tree

 

拿著樹葉造型的許願紙寫下你的願望

Take your leaf-like wishing paper and write your wishs

 

掛在熊熊後方的繩子上~

Hang it on the rope behind the bear

 

你看許願樹周圍的願望滿滿滿~~

Look! The wishes all around the wishing tree

 

還有熊熊陪你許願! 

And the bear acommpanying you

 

我取它"幸福鐘"好了~哈哈哈

I call it "bliss clock"~hahah

由於薰衣草森林就是在山上

Because  Lavender Cottage is in the montain

 

眺望薰衣草森林以及周邊的樹和山

Gazing from afar at Lavender Cottage and its surrounding trees and mountains

 

令人心曠神怡 

It's really refreshing

 

森林咖啡館 Forest's Coffee shop

水岸平台 Riverside platform

有沒有雜草叢生的感覺!?哈哈哈

超神祕的~讓人想一探究竟

Really mysterious~ It makes me want to explore

湖畔磨時間~意思是喝個咖啡在這裡消磨時間並享受風景的洗禮

"Killing time by the lake" means sipping coffee, whiling the hours away and basking in the scenery

 

而岸上有桌椅可以讓你坐下休息

There are tables and chairs on the lakeside for you to rest

這就是苗栗有名的明德水庫~

This is the famous Matilda dam of Miaoli

 

其實一路走直到抵達到薰衣草森林

我們會經過漂亮的明德水庫~~超美的!!!

In fact,you wont miss the beautiful Matilda dam on your way to Lavender Cottage

在湖邊喝咖啡、吃個點心~還有微風輕拂髮梢

Drinking coffee,eating desserts,and breezes stroking your hair

 

讓人超放鬆~~~不想回家了 

It makes me really relaxed~~I don't want to go home

當然這麼多可愛的小熊怎麼可以放過!!

How can I let go so many lovely bears!

 

我就是要騷擾熊阿~~~

I wanna harass them~~

總之~薰衣草森林是個放鬆的好去處

In short~Lavender Cottage is a good place to relax yourself

 

而且會讓人不停地拍照!
