<大禮大同之行>起點 Taroko trip: Starting point

車子往太管處的方向前進，正在納悶什麼時候才會到，車子突然間停了下來。「下車吧！我們到了…」車子停在公路的一側，萬叢綠中，有個小小的樓梯…「我們就從這裡走上去」
We headed toward the administrative center of the Taroko National Park. I was just wondering when we’d arrive the starting point, the car stopped… “Get off the car. We’re arrived!” The car stopped at the side of the mountain drive. Among the greens, there’s a tiny little stairs leading upward. “We’ll walk up from here.”

旁邊有個小小的指標，「大禮大同15公里」。我並沒有刻意指給幾個義大利人看，天空飄著小雨，他們的臉色已經不太好看了…
There’s a small sign beside the stairs, “Way to Dali Datong, 15 km”. I didn’t bother to point it to other Italians. It was raining, and they didn’t seem to be too happy already…
