Let’s go to the Ten Drum Culture Village in Kaohsiung. 今天來點藝術，歷史，和音樂，如何？走，我們到高雄的十鼓文創園區玩～I'm Michella. I grew up in the Silicon Valley and was a journalist in Taiwan for ten years. I like to run, grow hydroponic food and travel. I’m going to show you around the Taiwan that I know. I hope you’ll enjoy it as much as I do.我是米雪拉，在美國矽谷長大，回來台灣當了十年的新聞工作者，喜歡跑步，種水耕蔬菜，還有旅行。台灣好好玩，到底有多好玩，讓我和你分享。We are here at Formosa Boulevard and Ten Drum is along the red line, inside the old Sugar Refinery at Ciaotou. San Francisco has Clipper cards for its public transportation system, and Kaohsiung has the iPass. You beep in and out of train stations with this and you can even use this at convenience stores, so it's super, super handy.這裡是高捷美麗島站，十鼓在紅線上，橋頭糖廠文創園區裡面。美國舊金山有Clipper卡可以使用在大眾交通上，高雄則有一卡通，可以嗶進嗶出，而且在便利商店也能使用，真的很方便。The card is NT$100 and you have to charge it; credit can also refunded when you don't need the card anymore.一張卡100元，要儲值，沒用完還可以將餘額退還。Kaohsiung has become so much easier to travel now that there’s the MRT. It’s clean, it comfortable and some of the stations are really beautiful.高雄自從有捷運之後，旅遊方便很多。乾淨，舒適，而且有些捷運站特別漂亮。 We got on at Formosa Boulevard - this station was voted one of the most beautiful stations in the world.我們是在美麗島站上車的，這裡被票選為世界上最美麗的車站之一。This is called “Dome of Light” and tells the story of life with 4,500 pieces of glass, and is one of the world’s largest public glass works of art.這叫做「光之穹頂」，講的是生命的故事，是由4,500片琉璃組成的，是世界上最大的琉璃公共藝術之一。Here’s a photography tip, shoot it from a really low angle. Use the flip out screen if you have one.拍照小撇步，從很低很低的角度來拍，有翻轉螢幕的話，記得翻出來用喔～This is the old Ciaotou sugar refinery, it was the first modern sugar refinery in Taiwan, set up in the early 20th century during the Japanese occupation and made sugar for 97 years.這裡是橋頭糖廠，是台灣第一個機械化糖廠，在20世紀初，日治時代設立的，營運了大約97年。It closed down in 1999 and now they're trying to revive it as an arts and culture park.1999年，糖廠停止製糖，現在他們正在努力轉型，成為文創園區。This place is pretty big, so you might want to rent a bike. There’s a bike rental and Ten Drum show tickets package here that’s a pretty good deal.這裡腹地很大，所以建議租一輛腳踏車。這邊有包含觀賞十鼓水劇場的套票，蠻優惠的。Show you where to go for a nice ride.走，帶你去風景漂亮的地方兜風。My grandparents, who are Taiwanese, actually grew up speaking Japanese. Taiwan was Japan’s first overseas colony, and the occupation lasted for about 50 years, from 1895 to 1945. They modernized much of Taiwan, including this sugar refinery.我阿公阿媽都是台灣人，但他們小時候都講日文。台灣是日本第一個海外殖民地，日治時代長達50年，從1895年到1945年。日本人引進許多現代的機械和技術，包括在糖廠製糖上的應用。During the occupation, the locals were often unhappy about being governed by the Japanese and occasionally unrest broke out. To promote peace, the Japanese used Buddhism, the common religion between Taiwan and Japan, and made a shrine here for people to pray to Guanyin. But instead of gold plating the statue, the Japanese decided to leave the copper as is, to prevent the statue from getting stolen in the middle of the night.日治時期，當地居民對日本統治者不滿，偶爾發生衝突，因此日本人就用兩國之間的共同宗教，佛教，來調解和平。他們在這裡設立了觀音的雕像，不過沒有鍍金，因為害怕半夜，會被人搬走。Legend has it, The Yellow Emperor, who lived in the 2500’s BC, was the inventor of the drum. In one of his famous battles, he ordered his 80 drummers to stay hidden, but strike their giant drums with all their might. The enemy heard the sound and thought that the Yellow Emperor had summoned thunder. The decided to run for their lives because they thought they were no match for the Yellow Emperor and his super powers.傳說中，鼓是在西元前2500年，軒轅黃帝所發明的。在一場戰役當中，他命令80名鼓手躲起來同時用力擊鼓。敵人想說，黃帝竟然可以操縱雷，實在太厲害了，所以決定逃命。Ten Drums is a traditional Chinese drum percussion group. Their work has been nominated for a Grammy Award in the Best Traditional World Music category. Here they have shows every morning and afternoon that I personally like quite a bit.十鼓是一個傳統中國鼓的打擊樂團體，他們的作品曾經入圍葛萊美獎世界音樂專輯獎。他們每天上午和下午都定時舉辦表演，很好看喔～Dramatic, right? The kungfu, Chinese instruments and water elements were so cool. Makes me want to try.好震撼喔。武術，中國樂器，還有水等等的元素真的好酷。忍不住想試試看！Both the Ten Drums Culture Village and this old sugar refinery at first sight may not seem like much. But if you take time explore, it might start to grow on you. This sugar refinery was shut down for more than ten years, and it’s in the process of resurrecting and finding a new identity. It’s interesting to be part of the process I think, and it’s interesting times for this place. You should come.十鼓和糖廠本身，乍看之下，好像沒什麼，不過其實慢慢去探索，你會發現，越看越有趣。糖廠過去有好一段時間沒有運作，但被注入新生命之後，它開始重生，努力尋找出路。能夠參與這段歷史，很有意義，而這重生的過程，也很有意思。大家要來喔。--------------------------------------------------------------------------------Episode info:In this episode we visited Ciaotou Sugar Refinery and Ten Drum Culture Village.We started our journey at Kaohsiung MRT's Formosa Boulevard Station, a station with an amazing glass dome lobby called “Dome of Light,” designed by Italian artist Narcissus Quagliata. The structure is 30 meters across and is composed of 4,500 pieces of glass. With a wide angle lens, it looks especially beautiful. If you want to be in the picture, though, make sure you don’t stand on the side if you’re using a wide angle lens, otherwise your face and/or body will get stretched, making you look really fat. I wouldn’t want that to happen to me so… Heh heh heh.There are only 2 lines in the KHH (Kaohsiung) metro network, so it’s not very confusing. To go directly to Ten Drum Culture Village, you can take the red line to Ciaotou Station. But I recommend going to Ciaotou Sugar Refinery and walk through the refinery to Ten Drum because it’s really close and there are things to see at the refinery too.If you want a guide at Ciaotou, you can call and make a reservation in advance. It’s NT$1,500 for a 1.5 hour tour for up to 50 people, in Chinese. You can make a reservation by calling 07-611-3691. Probably no English service, unfortunately.When you exit Ciaotou Sugar Refinery station, there’s a bike rental place inside the station already. But if you want the rental+Ten Drum package, you need to exit the station, turn left and walk maybe 200 meters to the next bike rental shop called “Uncle Bike." The owner is very nice young man, I spoke to him for a bit and even lent him my skateboard.If you get a bike, there’s a bike path with pineapple fields next to it and trees on both sides of the path, when the light shines through the foliage, it’s quite beautiful. This is the path I rode on in the video. There are a few small roads back there to explore, and even some graves, which are an interesting sight if doesn’t make you uncomfortable. Graves in Taiwan are usually round in shape, with a mound of dirt in the middle, sloping up towards the back. Wonder if that’s where the body is buried… My grandparents’ graves are different - they have marble top covers that can be can be easily opened (often the remains are removed after a certain number of years so when other family members, or other people if it’s a public grave, pass away, the plot can be reused). I personally would prefer being cremated and my ashes compressed into a diamond for my husband to wear as an earring.On the weekends, you can ride the old train that transported the sugar canes, which is kinda fun. On the grounds you’ll also find cafes and shops. I think a lot of this space used to be employee dorms.Before going into the factory, I suggest you look for the warehouses with displays that tell about the history of the refinery, and how sugar is made. Then go into the old factory and imagine all the noise, people and the smell of pulp and cane sugar juice that used to be in the air. In the morning and afternoon when the light comes in at an angle, the ambience is kind of interesting. I felt like I was looking at something in a peaceful, eternal sleep.There are a lot of old warehouses there. Some of them are still vacant and haven’t really been cared for. There’s broken glass, a lot of dirt, and though it might not sound very nice, a lot people love to take pictures of it, and in front of it! My husband loves that kind of thing. Lots of people like to take wedding photos in front of the dilapidated buildings. I suppose when the subject is dressed up and glossed up, the contrast of the old, forgotten and decayed background makes a good photograph. I suppose. I prefer clean places.Some of the warehouses are rented to artists and the others are to Ten Drum. Regular admissions to the Ten Drum Culture Park are NT$100, all of which you can use toward any purchase in the souvenir shop or restaurant. I recommend getting the show tickets, which are NT$300 a person, includes admission to the park, a guided tour (unfortunately, only in Chinese), and the drum workshop. They don’t offer English guides, but can hire an interpreter for you, and I believe the fee for that is NT$300.I’ve seen some different drum performances, Japanese, Chinese, Taiwanese…this one though I think is quite unique because they use water in their shows. My impression of drummers is that they’re usually quite hydrophobic when their instruments are around, because water damages drums. Ten Drums apparently water proof theirs and have a good time splashing water around when they play. It’s quite cool.After the performance and after you exit the theater, you can get pictures with the drummers if you like. After that, your guide will take you to the drum workshop and teach you how to play. I love to play with things, so I think my favorite part of the Ten Drum experience was the drum workshop bit.Ten Drum also has a simple restaurant on site, and the food is decent.Have fun!Kaohsiung MRT: http://www.krtco.com.tw/en/Ciaotou Sugar Refinery: 07-611-3691 (can’t seem to find their website)Electric skateboard: Boosted (American last mile vehicle maker, I love it)Ten Drum: http://www.tendrum-cultrue.com.tw/index.phpUncle Bike: https://www.facebook.com/單車大叔1號店-1515033628773786/timeline/Wardrobe and accessories:Overalls: Kotipesa (Taiwanese brand)Watch: Martian (American smartwatch, affordable and fashionable)--------------------------------------------------------------------------------節目內容資訊：在這一集好好玩裡面，我們到了高雄糖廠和十鼓文創園區。這次我們從高雄捷運美麗島站開始玩。站裡的「光之穹頂」好漂亮，必看，必拍！光之穹頂是由一位叫做Narcissus Quagliata的藝術家所創作的，整個裝置大約30公尺寬，使用了4,500片琉璃所製。因為很寬，廣角鏡頭拍起來特別好看，不過呢，如果想把自己也拍進去，記得不要把人放在畫面的邊邊，不然會看起來很胖喔～～～ 原因是，廣角鏡會把邊緣拉寬，臉拉寬通常不會有好的效果。很可能換來跺腳和「吼，怎麼把我拍成釀子啦！」。高捷目前只有兩條線，所以搭起來不會太複雜。如果直接殺到十鼓文化園區的話，可以搭到橋頭火車站。不過我建議搭到橋頭糖廠，先逛糖廠然後再走到十鼓，反正很近。到糖廠玩，如果需要導覽，要提前申請（打電話去 07-611-3691），一個半小時的導覽1,500元，人數最多50。橋頭糖廠站裡面就有一間腳踏車租賃店，不過如果要買十鼓水劇場和腳踏車的套票，要出站，往左走，大概200公尺後，左手邊有家「單車大叔」。老闆年親，親切，我們聊了一會兒，我還借他玩我的滑板。如果租腳踏車，可以往小學的方向走，後面有一條腳踏車道，節目中我就是在那邊滑滑板，腳踏車道兩旁都是樹，有斑斕光，旁邊有鳳梨田，還蠻漂亮的。那附近還有幾條小路可以騎，旁邊有夜總會。不忌諱的人，其實小路還蠻好玩的。說到夜總會，最近看新聞看到歐洲有個把骨灰做成鑽石的服務，感覺還不錯。我還蠻希望把自己的骨灰壓成鑽石做成一個耳環，讓好ㄤ戴。只是我覺得他不會願意戴耳環。Oh well.回到糖廠，假日的時候這裡有以前載甘蔗用的五分車可以搭。廠區裡面還有一些咖啡廳和餐店，這些空間以前可能都是員工宿舍。工廠的那一區有好幾個老倉庫。有幾個裡面講著糖廠的故事，歷史，製糖過程等等。看了這些展示之後再進去廠房可能比較好，比較看得懂。然後在廠房可以試著想像以前裡面可能有的聲音，在空氣中飄著的甘蔗汁味。廠房早上和下午沒人的時候太陽光從斜斜的角度灑進來，有一種特別的氣氛，有一點看著歷史文物安祥長眠的感覺。糖廠裡面有好多倉庫，有一些繼續閒置著，有些玻璃窗破掉沒有修，從外面偷窺，裡面灰塵相當厚，不過這不見得不好。有些人說去整理，可能會被整理過頭，失去它原本的味道（這我能了解），不整理反而能保留原貌。廢墟其實也是一個很多人喜歡拍攝的主題。甚至很多人來這裡拍婚紗。或許光鮮亮麗的主角讓破舊的廢墟襯托，是一個很有趣的畫面。我們家好ㄤ就很愛拍這種。我呢...還是喜歡乾乾淨淨的空間。當中整理過的倉庫，有些出租給藝術家當做工作室和展示空間，有些則是租給十鼓當做他們的文化園區。十鼓的門票100元，全額可以拿去販賣部抵消。我建議買十鼓水劇場的票，300元。水劇場的票包含園區的門票，水劇場的表演，園區的中文導覽，還有打鼓體驗。我看過幾種不同的打鼓表演，中式，日式等等，而我覺得十鼓的真的蠻特別的，因為他們在表演當中有水幕，舞台地板上也有水，鼓手在水池裡面跳來跳去打鼓，濺得到處都是，但沒人擔心鼓被弄溼。一般看到的鼓手，都離水遠遠的，因為怕鼓弄溼，會壞掉。所以十鼓這方面還蠻酷的。鼓不怕濕。表演結束後，可以跟鼓手拍照，然後導覽員會帶你到我個人認為最好玩的部分：打鼓體驗！老師會教你簡單打我就是喜歡動手玩東西～小朋友應該也會玩得很開心。肚子餓的話，十鼓自己有餐廳，還不錯吃～大家要來喔～高雄捷運: http://www.krtco.com.tw/train_info/service-1.aspx橋頭糖廠: 07-611-3691 (找不到官網)十鼓文創: http://www.tendrum-cultrue.com.tw/index.php單車大叔: https://www.facebook.com/單車大叔1號店-1515033628773786/timeline/服裝和配件：連身迷彩飛行裝： kotipesä （台灣品牌）手錶： Martian摩絢錶 （美國品牌，時尚又不會太貴的智慧型手錶）電動滑板： Boosted Boards (美國買的，超愛)

Episode info:
In this episode we visited Ciaotou Sugar Refinery and Ten Drum Culture Village.
We started our journey at Kaohsiung MRT's Formosa Boulevard Station, a station with an amazing glass dome lobby called “Dome of Light,” designed by Italian artist Narcissus Quagliata. The structure is 30 meters across and is composed of 4,500 pieces of glass. With a wide angle lens, it looks especially beautiful. If you want to be in the picture, though, make sure you don’t stand on the side if you’re using a wide angle lens, otherwise your face and/or body will get stretched, making you look really fat. I wouldn’t want that to happen to me so… Heh heh heh.
A panoramic stitch is fun too.
Here's the Kaohsiung MRT map concerning this trip.
If you want a guide at Ciaotou, you can call and make a reservation in advance. It’s NT$1,500 for a 1.5 hour tour for up to 50 people, in Chinese. You can make a reservation by calling 07-611-3691. Probably no English service, unfortunately.
When you exit Ciaotou Sugar Refinery station, there’s a bike rental place inside the station already. But if you want the rental+Ten Drum package, you need to exit the station, turn left and walk maybe 200 meters to the next bike rental shop called “Uncle Bike." The owner is very nice young man, I spoke to him for a bit and even lent him my skateboard.
If you get a bike, there’s a bike path with pineapple fields next to it and trees on both sides of the path, when the light shines through the foliage, it’s quite beautiful. This is the path I rode on in the video. There are a few small roads back there to explore, and even some graves, which are an interesting sight if doesn’t make you uncomfortable.

節目內容資訊：
在這一集好好玩裡面，我們到了高雄糖廠和十鼓文創園區。
這次我們從高雄捷運美麗島站開始玩。站裡的「光之穹頂」好漂亮，必看，必拍！光之穹頂是由一位叫做Narcissus Quagliata的藝術家所創作的，整個裝置大約30公尺寬，使用了4,500片琉璃所製。因為很寬，廣角鏡頭拍起來特別好看，不過呢，如果想把自己也拍進去，記得不要把人放在畫面的邊邊，不然會看起來很胖喔～～～ 原因是，廣角鏡會把邊緣拉寬，臉拉寬通常不會有好的效果。很可能換來跺腳和「吼，怎麼把我拍成釀子啦！」。
高捷目前只有兩條線，所以搭起來不會太複雜。如果直接殺到十鼓文化園區的話，可以搭到橋頭火車站。不過我建議搭到橋頭糖廠，先逛糖廠然後再走到十鼓，反正很近。
到糖廠玩，如果需要導覽，要提前申請（打電話去 07-611-3691），一個半小時的導覽1,500元，人數最多50。
橋頭糖廠站裡面就有一間腳踏車租賃店，不過如果要買十鼓水劇場和腳踏車的套票，要出站，往左走，大概200公尺後，左手邊有家「單車大叔」。老闆年親，親切，我們聊了一會兒，我還借他玩我的滑板。
如果租腳踏車，可以往小學的方向走，後面有一條腳踏車道，節目中我就是在那邊滑滑板，腳踏車道兩旁都是樹，有斑斕光，旁邊有鳳梨田，還蠻漂亮的。那附近還有幾條小路可以騎，旁邊有夜總會。不忌諱的人，其實小路還蠻好玩的。說到夜總會，最近看新聞看到歐洲有個把骨灰做成鑽石的服務，感覺還不錯。我還蠻希望把自己的骨灰壓成鑽石做成一個耳環，讓好ㄤ戴。只是我覺得他不會願意戴耳環。Oh well.
回到糖廠，假日的時候這裡有以前載甘蔗用的五分車可以搭。廠區裡面還有一些咖啡廳和餐店，這些空間以前可能都是員工宿舍。
工廠的那一區有好幾個老倉庫。有幾個裡面講著糖廠的故事，歷史，製糖過程等等。看了這些展示之後再進去廠房可能比較好，比較看得懂。然後在廠房可以試著想像以前裡面可能有的聲音，在空氣中飄著的甘蔗汁味。廠房早上和下午沒人的時候太陽光從斜斜的角度灑進來，有一種特別的氣氛，有一點看著歷史文物安祥長眠的感覺。
糖廠裡面有好多倉庫，有一些繼續閒置著，有些玻璃窗破掉沒有修，從外面偷窺，裡面灰塵相當厚，不過這不見得不好。有些人說去整理，可能會被整理過頭，失去它原本的味道（這我能了解），不整理反而能保留原貌。廢墟其實也是一個很多人喜歡拍攝的主題。甚至很多人來這裡拍婚紗。或許光鮮亮麗的主角讓破舊的廢墟襯托，是一個很有趣的畫面。我們家好ㄤ就很愛拍這種。我呢...還是喜歡乾乾淨淨的空間。
當中整理過的倉庫，有些出租給藝術家當做工作室和展示空間，有些則是租給十鼓當做他們的文化園區。十鼓的門票100元，全額可以拿去販賣部抵消。我建議買十鼓水劇場的票，300元。水劇場的票包含園區的門票，水劇場的表演，園區的中文導覽，還有打鼓體驗。我看過幾種不同的打鼓表演，中式，日式等等，而我覺得十鼓的真的蠻特別的，因為他們在表演當中有水幕，舞台地板上也有水，鼓手在水池裡面跳來跳去打鼓，濺得到處都是，但沒人擔心鼓被弄溼。一般看到的鼓手，都離水遠遠的，因為怕鼓弄溼，會壞掉。所以十鼓這方面還蠻酷的。鼓不怕濕。
表演結束後，可以跟鼓手拍照，然後導覽員會帶你到我個人認為最好玩的部分：打鼓體驗！老師會教你簡單打我就是喜歡動手玩東西～小朋友應該也會玩得很開心。
肚子餓的話，十鼓自己有餐廳，還不錯吃～
大家要來喔～
