101年10月23日 上個週末是NSLI-Y學生第一次在市外旅行。這次學生去美濃感受台灣的客家文化、歷史。 到美濃之前，學生先去旗山看孔子廟和吃香蕉泡芙。他們都覺得太好吃！逛完旗山老街以後，他們就往美濃走。 在美濃學生有機會體驗客家文化，包括做陶瓷碗/杯、畫紙傘、和（當然）吃美濃板條！美濃不但有很好玩的活動，而且有引人入勝的風景！ October 23, 2012 For our first trip outside of Kaohsiung, we traveled to the nearby Hakka town of Meinong. On the way to Meinong, we stopped in Qishan, where we visited Taiwan’s largest Confucian temple and ate the local specialty—banana cream puffs. After eating our unique and delicious snack, we headed toward Meinong. Founded during the 17th century, Meinong was originally inhabited by people of the Hakka ethnicity who emigrated from mainland China beginning in the 1600s. Today, about 90% of its 40,000 residents are Hakka. With more than 300 years of history, the town has developed its own culture, traditions, and products. The most iconic products are Meinong’s paper umbrellas and clay pottery. While in Meinong, the NSLI-Y students were taught by a local artisan and had the opportunity to make clay bowls and paint paper umbrellas. Besides Meinong handicrafts, the students also indulged in some of the local delicacies, namely “ban tiao.” Ban tiao are noodles made of a rice-based liquid that is poured into square pans, steamed over boiling water, and finally cut into long strips. After a long day of making artwork and trying new foods, we made a final stop at Meinong’s East Gate, one of the oldest standing structures in the town. As we prepared to leave, the students were already planning their next trip to this majestic town of endless fields surrounded by mountain peaks.  旗山孔子廟 QiShan Confucius Temple  白愷莉在做一隻碗 Carly making a bowl  傳統客家菜 A traditional Hakka meal  老東門 The old village gate  畫紙傘 Painting paper umbrellas  完成的紙傘 The girls' final products  完成的紙傘 The boys' final products |
