(中央社記者黃貞貞倫敦21日專電)英國西南部重要媒體「西部日報」日前刊出「到台灣健行旅遊」專題報導,盛讚台灣山岳景觀多變,山間路徑綿延不絕,景色豐富,是登山健行愛好者必須到訪的旅遊目的地。

西部日報(Western Daily Press)這個專題以3頁圖文分別從台灣四端各選1個精華路線,介紹東台灣的錐麓古道、西台灣的玉山主峰、北台灣的武陵四秀、南台灣的北大武山,指出台灣是全年都可登山健行旅遊的好地方,最適合的季節是秋天。當天氣逐漸清涼乾爽時,建議讀者可以開始計畫1趟台灣登山健行之旅。

報導提到,台灣登山健行方式廣泛,從一般漫步到登高山百岳或長途跋涉登上台灣最高峰玉山都有。因為台灣山脈高度不同,氣候及林相也從亞熱帶跨越到寒帶,豐富多變。

報導說,台灣山林占土地面積的大部分,各式各樣山脈有連綿不斷的多種山間路徑,適合不同體能、愛好者選擇可以尋訪的美景及挑戰的路徑。山林裡還有很多國家公園及森林區,到台灣旅遊,可以保證一定有機會體驗國家級自然風光。

作者認為,台灣最壯觀、也最輕鬆路線之一的太魯閣國家公園中的錐麓古道,最具挑戰性的是錐麓斷崖中最窄處的60公分寬路段,這段路也是欣賞立霧溪穿越山中美景的地點,部分登山者都不敢回頭探望他們曾走過的驚險山徑,所以不建議易暈眩者看望。2公里長的綠水合流步道,也是觀賞太魯閣壯麗大理石巨岩山景路段,卻不用挑戰攀爬懸崖峭壁的地心引力。

報導說,數以百計的路線可以挑選,大部分是不需導遊即能悠遊其中,中華民國交通部觀光局為遊客整理出許多最具盛名的路線供大家參考,值得熱愛登山健行的民眾到台灣體驗。1030621

  • 報導內文有點問題

    "數以百計的路線可以挑選,大部分是不需導遊即能悠遊其中"

    如果是這樣就不會經常有人迷路了

    想要搜尋原文,到Western Daily Press網頁,用Taiwan, hiking, trekking, travel等字眼都看不到相關報導,請問有人找得到嗎?

  • Whilst it is possible to hike in the 'Heart of Asia' throughout the year, the conditions are at their best in the autumn when the weather is slightly cooler and the air drier, meaning that those looking to take a hike to Taiwan this year should soon start planning their trip. Ranging from gentle walks to extreme treks at up to 3,952 metres above sea-level and spanning a number of different... (see full summary)

    North Taiwan - Wuling Sixiu trail, Shei-Pa National Park The Wuling Sixiu trail takes approximately three to four days to complete and is one of the most challenging treks in Taiwan.

    Based in Shei-Pa National Park, the Wuling Sixiu is a group of four mountains, all of which are scaled and descended on this trek.
    The trail kicks off with a 1,500m climb, after which hikers are rewarded with a view of the 'sea of clouds' above the Yilan Plain, before continuing up to Taoshan - the peak of Mount Tao - which is 3,324 metres above sealevel. The trail continues with a visit to the 'waterfall of rock', as well as a climb to the top of Mount Chiyou, which gives spectacular panoramas across Shei-Pa National Park. This is where hikers will spend the second night, enjoying incredible views of the Milky Way on clear evenings.
    On the third morning, those awake early enough will witness a spectacular sunrise above the Central Mountain Range, before heading on to Mount Pintian.
