#白楊步道水濂洞
白楊步道全紀錄來到第二集囉~~
即將抵達太魯閣白楊步道裡最具特色的水濂洞
水濂洞是地下湧泉從隧道頂端傾洩而下,形成一幕水濂的特殊景觀。置身其間,讓山泉奔落身上,順而流下腳,積聚在天然大理岩地面上,有些冷冽卻充滿新奇與舒暢
水簾洞主要成因為進行立霧溪水力發電計畫時,於修築此段隧道不慎挖破地下水脈,於是地下水循著岩石裂隙流出不曾間斷。正因如此,地質學家研判,隧道內的岩層有可能受到地下水強烈沖蝕後的路段岩層而鬆動掉落,有潛在倒塌的危險。
也許將來的某一天可能因大自然變化水簾洞就不復存在了,屆時就只能看影片回憶囉~~~
The Baiyang Waterfall Trail is characterized by the number of tunnels. Beginning with the entrance tunnel of 380 meters (by the Central Cross-Island Highway 900 meters west of Tianxiang) to the last tunnel before Water Curtain, you will pass through eight tunnels along the 2.1 kilometer trail ( the 4.2 km round trip will take about one hour and a half).
Some of the tunnels are as straight as a pencil and you can see the light at the end. Others however are curved such that you will be enveloped in pitch-black darkness for a short time unless you take along a flashlight, which is advisable. Looking out of the tunnels from within, the lovely green mountain view is like a painting by a master. The trail was originally built by Taiwan Power Company in 1984 during the early stages of their plans (approved for construction in 1979) to develop hydroelectric power in the area, plans that included damming many parts of the gorge. The hydroelectric project for this area was eventually cancelled. Taroko survived and a road left that makes it easier for us to get into this once remote area.
The ground rock after Water Curtain (Shui-lian-dong) is loose and there is danger of a collapse so as present visitors are only allowed to the entrance of the first Water Curtain. Water curtain is a special scene created by spring water falling from the tunnel roof. Unfortunately, the danger of roof collapse means that the other water curtains are out of bounds.
Perhaps one day in the future, due to the changes of nature, the Shui-lian-dong will no longer exist, and then we can only watch the film to remember.
天祥から西に900m行くと左にトンネルがあります。白楊遊歩道はここから始まります。ここは台湾電力会社が1984年に立霧渓の上流に計画した水力発電用の白楊ダム建設に必要な機材の運搬用に造った道です。ダム建設はその後、太魯閣峡谷の景観と自然を保護するために白紙に戻され、白楊の滝に続�
