天使的眼淚：嘉明湖 / Jiaming Lake : Tears of Angel

嘉明湖，一座位於海拔 3310m 的高山湖泊，每年吸引上千的登山客一探其真面目。

Jiaming Lake, a high-altitude lake on Central Range in Taiwan. The lake is 3310 meter above sea level and evidences suggest that it is a glacial lake, although most of people think it is a crater.

每當晴空萬里時，耀眼的陽光和寬廣的藍天倒映在令人心醉的湖水中，點綴上幾朵白雲，令人心胸開廣；而當雲霧飄渺時，一陣陣的風更替她披上神祕的面紗。夜深，繁星取代藍天之刻，陳群結隊的水鹿來到湖邊覓食，在黑暗中和牠們一同享受美好時光。

這就是嘉明湖的誘人之處，不過，如同所有高山，這看似不長的十二公里的路途，卻是危機四伏，讓許多人一去不返！

雖然大部分的人認為嘉明湖是隕石坑遺跡，然而目前的證據指出嘉明湖應該是冰河遺跡。

On good weather, the lake is like a mirror. Blue sky and moving clouds reflected in it. After nightfall, groups of sambar(deer) start to seeking food and water near the lake. Those reasons make people willing to hike more than 12km and sleep in a tent. Although, the temperature might drop to less than 0°C at night and many people lost their life or simple disappear on this trail.
