3. Nanzhuang is a suburban town in Miaoli County, where there were about 30,000, the town
features many preserved architectures and natural surroundings. Nanzhuang Town is
mostly resided by the Hakka people, Atayal and Saisiyat aborigines, making it a good
example of ethnic integration in Taiwan.
Today, the town of Nanzhuang is a popular Taiwan tourist stop for its abundant natural
surroundings and its Nanzhuang Old Street filled with all kinds of Hakka and aboriginal
snacks and delicacies, as well as Nanzhuang’s most gifted natural resources: mushroom,
Gui bamboo shoots and trout. There are a few stone tablets at the entrance of Nanzhuang
Old Street that are remains of a place where waters flows down from the mountains,
allowing the villagers to come and do their daily laundries in the past.
The most famous alley of Nanzhuang Old Street is “Guihua Alley”. It is where one may find
a number of small stands and shops for souvenirs and savor authentic Hakka delicacies.
Towards the end of Nanzhuang Old Street, stands the old postal office of Nanzhuang in
Japanese style that was first established during the period of Japanese colonization, and
renovated recently. The old Nanzhuang Postal Office has been noted as one of the ten
most treasured historical architectures of Miaoli. The nostalgia environment and ambience
make the old Nanzhuang Postal Office a popular photo shooting spot. Opposite from the
postal office is a popular small stand in a traditional Japanese style house that sells
shredded ice with matcha and red beans in a big bowl priced about twd 50, making it a
very hot spot for one’s visit to Nanzhuang.

4. 南莊是苗栗縣郊區小鎮，居民大約30,000人，該鎮特色擁有許多保存完好的建築和自然
環境。南莊鎮大多居民是客家人，泰雅族和賽夏族原住民，該鎮在台灣民族融合是個很
好的例子。
目前，南莊鎮以其豐富的自然環境和南莊老街擺滿了各種客家和原住民小吃和美味佳餚，
以及南莊的最有天賦的自然資源：香菇，桂竹筍和鱒魚，是一個台灣遊客受歡迎的停留
地方。在南莊老街入口處有幾塊石版遺跡，該處的水從山上流下來，從前是讓村民作為
他們日常生活和洗衣之用。
南莊老街最有名的巷道是“桂花巷”。 在其中你可能會發現一些紀念品的小攤子和商
店，並且品嚐地道的客家美食。
走往南莊老街頭，有一棟日本殖民統治時期首建的日式風格南莊老郵局，最近重新裝修
過。南莊老郵局已經註記為苗栗十大最珍貴歷史建築之一。 在懷舊的環境和氛圍下，
南莊老郵政成為熱門的照片拍攝地點。郵局對面傳統日式小屋，賣抹茶紅豆圓子剉冰，
大碗售價新台幣50元，這是訪問南莊非常熱門的一個地點。

28. Osmanthus Alley used be a run-down and messy pathway, but now it has
been restored with an old-time feel. During the weekdays, the alley has a
calm, diffused comfort; on the holidays, the alley is alive with hustle-bustle.
桂花巷是一條老舊和凌亂的巷道通路，但現在它已經還原到舊時代的感覺。平
日巷子裡是平靜的，瀰漫著舒適氣氛；在假日巷子裡充斥了擁擠，喧嘩。

31. “Old streets” are pretty crowded, because sections of the street are incredibly narrow.
Both sides are chock full of stalls hawking all sorts of Hakka and aboriginal things.
「老街」相當擁擠，因為部分街道就是令人難以置信的狹窄。兩邊都充滿了各種攤位，
擺賣各種客家和原住民的東西。

69. To be honest, there are not so many things to do in this old street.
However, if you spend most of your time in hustle bustle of big city, you
will find it is a pretty nice option for few hours escape on your weekend.
Finally, to remind one thing, you don't miss the Japanese style red bean
dumpling ice in Osmanthus Alley.
說實話，這條老街上沒有太多的事情可做。但是，如果你花很多時間在喧
囂熱鬧的大城市，你會發現週末幾小時的逃離，也是一個相當不錯的選擇。
最後要提醒的一件事，你千萬不要錯過在桂花巷的日式紅豆圓仔冰。
