花蓮包車旅遊-北迴歸線

北迴歸線包車自由行

北回歸線是太陽在北半球所能直射到距離赤道最遠的位置，位在北緯23.5度。每年夏至那一天，太陽就直射在北回歸線上，正午時分的「立竿不見影」，更是北回歸線上的獨特天象。 
北回歸線穿過臺灣地區，在嘉義縣水上鄉、花蓮縣瑞穗鄉與花蓮縣豐濱鄉均設有北回歸線標誌。其中位於瑞穗鄉的北回歸線標誌設立於1933年，當時是設置在瑞穗火車站西側；1981年時，因東線鐵路拓寬才遷到舞鶴臺地上，臺9號省道路旁的現址。不過，北回歸線通過臺9號省道的確實地點，其實是在目前北回歸線標誌以南大約兩公里的地方。
北回歸線標誌公園內設有一個白色日晷造型的標誌，四週還立有中國傳統觀察天象的4種代表動物，分別是東方的蒼龍、西方的白虎、南方的朱雀以及北方的玄武，稱為「四象」。每一象均含有7個星宿，分別代表春夏秋冬四季的天象變化。另外在公園兩側的木製迴欄裡，設有許多跟天象、氣候、節氣、地球科學等相關的解說牌示，使得北回歸線標誌公園成為一處極富教育意義的遊憩據點。

The Tropic of Cancer Marker

The Tropic of Cancer Marker, the circle marking the latitude 23.5 degrees north, is the Northern Hemisphere's furthest location from the Equator that can experience the sun being directly overhead. Every summer, the sun is directly over the Tropic of Cancer Marker. This "shadowless" effect that takes place at noon is the Tropic of Cancer Marker's unique astronomical phenomenon.

The Tropic of Cancer crosses through Taiwan, and Jiayi County's Shuishang Township, Hualien County's Ruisui Township and Hualien County's Fengbin Township all have Tropic of Cancer Markers. Ruisui Township's Tropic of Cancer Marker was placed in 1933. At that time, it was placed west of Ruisui Railway Station. In 1981, due to widening work done by the Eastern Line Railway, the marker was moved to the Wuhe Terrace, and placed on Provincial Highway No.9. However, the true location of the Tropic of Cancer Marker on Provincial Highway No.9 is actually about two kilometers south of the Tropic of Cancer Marker.

 

There is a white sundial shaped marker in the Tropic of Cancer Marker. In four different areas of the park, there are statues of four different animals that according to Chinese tradition represent the study of astronomical phenomena: The "Four Phenomena" are the Green Dragon of the East, the White Tiger of the West, the Red Phoenix of the South, and the Black Tortoise of the North. Each of these four phenomena are seven-star constellations, representing the changes of spring, summer, autumn and winter. Also in the park are many signs explaining astronomical phenomena, climate, solar terms, earth sciences, etc. Consequently, the Tropic of Cancer Marker is a recreational stronghold that abounds in educational value.
