有沒有想過訪台跑馬拉松之餘，
仍有空間安排一場recovery登山行程呢？
台灣不大，卻也真的探索不完。

《台灣小百岳》
編輯：台灣山岳文化
台灣是港人其中一個熱門旅遊地點，相信大家身邊不難找到一兩個「台灣旅遊專家」。隨意想想，其實台灣不少自然景點都在山巒。例如合歡山、太魯閣峽谷、象山自然步道、太魯閣國家公園等都是景色絕美的熱門旅遊點。愛好運動者，也許會想自我挑戰，攀登海拔近4000米，有「東北亞第一高峰」之稱的玉山主峰，又或是像電影《破風》那樣騎單車到武嶺。
台灣山岳資源豐富，單是3000米以上的高山已多達268座，當地登山界早已選出了「台灣百岳」。至於海拔沒那麼高，離市區較近，比較親民的「郊山」其實更是多不勝數。為了推動登山風氣，台灣政府邀集了專家選出了百座山容特殊、狀況良好的「郊山」命名為「台灣小百岳」。今次介紹的這本書由雜誌《台灣山岳》編輯而成，可說是一部檢閱「小百岳」的精美圖鑑。
書將小百岳按地區劃分於不同章節。每個小岳以兩頁介紹，除了景色圖片之外，亦有背景資料、簡單地圖、難度標示、交通資訊及注意事項等實用資料。這些小岳絕大部分我聞所未聞，尤其在外島如蘭嶼、澎湖那些更是沒有想過也可以行山。
此書末尾也有關於登山體能訓練、穿戴裝備等額外資料。此外還刊載了一篇關於制定台灣小百岳理念的文章，讀了我方知道這次活動其實是仿效「日本百低山」的概念，通過選出特色郊山，使更多人透過登山認識不同縣市特色。
披閱《台灣小百岳》之後，發現原來安排得當，下次到台灣也實在可以不再到那些熱門景點。安排一節登山活動，無疑會使旅程更添特色，回憶也更為深刻。
筆者簡介：蝦叔，愛閱讀，愛寫作，愛運動。期待未來以一雙腳和一枝筆，繼續從體育探索世界。

Xiao Baiyue of Taiwan (100 Peaks of Taiwan), edited by Taiwan Mountain Cultural Corporation
Taiwan is a popular tourist destination among the people of Hong Kong. It has abundant mountains which make up many of its scenic spots—Hehuan Mountain, Taroko National Park and Elephant Mountain, just to name a few.
“Xiao baiyue” are a hundred distinctive mountain peaks with good terrain, rising less than 3,000 metres above sea level in the suburban areas chosen by a group of experts. It is an effort by the Taiwanese government in a bid to promote greater enthusiasm for hiking.
The mountains, many of which are little-known, particularly those on Orchid Island and in Penghu County, are organized into different chapters of the book based on their region. Each mountain covers two pages of description which comprises photos, background information, a simplified map, level of difficulty, transport information, points to note and others. Towards the end of the book is information on fitness training, clothing and equipment for hiking. There is also an article explaining the rationale behind developing a list like this, the idea of which has its roots in Japan and aims to deepen people’s knowledge about the characteristics of different cities and counties by highlighting the special mountains in suburban areas, and encouraging people to hike them.
Reading this book made me realize that with appropriate arrangement, visiting the usual popular tourist spots is no longer the only thing I can do when I travel to Taiwan next time. Going on a nice hike during an overseas trip will undoubtedly spice up your travel experience and leave you with a memorable impression.
