苗栗南庒第二天，茶园坪山
一个人到了苖栗南庒，本想好好的去徒步但四月清明节的雨改变了我的行程。在逛老街肘，卻意外发笕后山有条茶园坪山步道。我想也不想，便往山里充，滿以为才322m 高的小山，应该30min便能到山顶。但半小时过去，我还是在森林中的小径，且徧离了第一个往山顶的路口。但我也不在意以为可以绕一圈到另第二条上山的路，但是出其意外，这登山径似平很少人在，巳經無法认清路及方向，而旦有不少大树倒下，让我进退两难。因为时间巳接近5点，我担心在天黑前能下山吗？正想要放弃，倒迆。卻发现登山友留下的黄色布条记号。我便可以继续往前走。走着，一只看不清想的小动物突然在前面惊吓逃跑，我猜想是只小野猪。令这座小森林更加刺激。十几分钟后，我终於到了322m高的茶园山，也不多停留直衝下山，由一开错过了的第一条登山路出，走回到南庒老街，共花1个多小时。
I arrived in Miaoli Nanzhuang with the intention of hiking, but the rain during the April Qingming Festival changed my plans. While strolling through the old street, I unexpectedly discovered the Chayuanpingshan Trail behind the mountain. Without thinking twice, I headed into the mountains, assuming that the 322m high hill would only take 30 minutes to reach the summit. However, half an hour passed, and I was still on a forest trail, having strayed far from the first path leading to the top. I didn't mind, thinking I could circle around to another path leading up the mountain, but surprisingly, the trail seemed sparsely populated, and I could no longer discern the path or directions. Moreover, many large trees had fallen, leaving me in a dilemma. As it was approaching 5 pm, I worried whether I could get down the mountain before dark. Just as I was about to give up, I noticed a yellow cloth marker left by other hikers. I could continue on. As I walked, a small animal, whose shape I couldn't see clearly, suddenly ran away in fright ahead. I guessed it was a small wild boar. This made the small forest even more exciting. A dozen minutes later, I finally reached the 322m high Tea Garden Mountain. Without lingering, I rushed down the mountain, taking the first hiking trail I had missed, and walked back to Nanzhuang Old Street, which took more than an hour.
