嘉義包車旅遊-阿里山奮起湖

奮起湖包車自由行

奮起湖，舊稱畚箕湖，隸屬台灣嘉義縣竹崎鄉中和村、海拔1,405公尺之山城。以阿里山森林鐵路中途站、鐵路便當、老街與自然景色聞名，有南台灣九份之稱。

奮起湖中的「湖」為閩南語中低窪地之意，當地實際上並無湖泊。

在阿里山公路、鐵路未開闢前，當地商家已於老街聚集，略具雛形。老街以紅檜建成，早年沒有街名，當地人僅以「街仔」稱之。在台灣日治時期，林木資源豐富的奮起湖亦是木屐的製造重鎮，當時街道大多用煤渣鋪設，穿木屐不黏腳，因此當地人都人腳一雙。

阿里山森林鐵路建成後，奮起湖車站是最大的中途站。早年，蒸汽機車從嘉義市北門車站行駛至此加水、填煤，所以火車會停留較長的時間；同時行車已近中午用餐，車員及乘客在此休息，造就奮起湖的鐵路便當文化，亦成為附近村落趕集聚散之地、阿里山森林鐵路的貨物、人群最大集散中心。

 

阿里山公路建成後，由於鐵道的重要性下降，奮起湖亦一度沒落蕭條，直至近年阿里山鐵道旅遊風氣盛行，才再度成為旅遊熱點。其中以夜探螢火蟲、鐵道便當、木屐、奮起湖神木尤具特色，現時老街全長約五百公尺，至今歷史超過一百年。奮起湖的房舍依山坡而建。

Fenqihu is not a lake. Before provincial high way 18 was built, this place already has some stalls. It is made of Chamaecyparis formosensis. The people there just called it street. During the Japanese colonial period, the wood is very rich there, the residents each has a pair of clogs. When Alishan forest railway finished construction.
