今天是台中遊第一天。航機下午才到達台中，先去中台禪寺。中台禪寺全部建築以和古今中外建築特質,同時保存古代叢林風格,
復具時代新意。整個建築乍看下彷佛金字塔形態,內裡包括講堂.襌堂.關房.公園等設備儼然是一個清淨佛國,人間淨土世界。接著驅車往清境山區。那裡是海拔2仟多米高的山區, 天氣清涼，空氣清新。我們住在一間只有十多間房，有露台的房間，外望是清優的山境，如仙境般的世外桃園。黃昏看到彩虹，清早還看到日出。房間雖然沒有冷氣，但是不覺悶熱，陰涼的山風，十分清爽舒服。山莊只有三層，還沒有電梯，我們要把行李拉上樓級。

Today is the starting day to Tai Chung. We arrived there in the afternoon. The 1st visit place is a temple where is famous in the building design. It also likes pyramids and we spend half an hour to have high tea in a very quiet cafe.  Then we went to Cing Jing Farm Area. There is also a famous visiting place in Taichung.  We were arranged to live in a resort motel where only about 20 rooms and some with balconies.  We can see the rainbow in the evening and the sun rise in morning. The temperature is about 20 degrees. There are no air-condition in each room. However, we did not feel hot. The air is cool enough.  Further, there is no lift in this 3-storey bldg, so that we have to carry our luggage up to 3rd floor.
