The Hokkaido self drive experience 3 北海道自驾假期体验



3. Patchwork Road & Daisetsuzan National Park (with video)


From Asahikawa to Furano, there are 2 routes to travel - The national road and the scenic roads - The Panoramic Road and The Patchwork Road.

We took the scenic roads.

From Furano to Biei, it is called the Panoramic Road. We have seen all the beautiful lavender and flowers fields.

On the third day, we took the Patchwork Road, starting after Asahikawa Airport to Biei.

It is so called patchwork because of the difference in crops planted and in different colors and shades - wheat, potatoes, radish and many many trees!

The many scenes in Mild Seven cigarettes advertisement taken from this area has made many trees famous.

A Poplar tree which has appeared in a movie was named after the characters in that movie - Ken & Mary.

A small tree stands in between two bigger trees was named Parent and Child Trees ....

Very clever tourism promotion ... and very successful one too....

Thanks to prior research by Tan Le Lee and Chan Siew Fong, a list of destinations has been prepared. Daisetsuzan National Park was our next place of visit.

Day in Hokkaido dawned at about 4:00 am. By seven, we were ready to go out ... and usually, returned well after 7 or 8:00 pm.

Tonight, we decided to have Japanese Ramen as dinner at Ramen Village, Asahikawa.

A bowl of sizzling hot Ramen was all we needed after a long long day ...delicious and Oishi dese !!

3. 锦拼(拼布)之路,大雪山国家公园 (备有录影)

从旭川到富良野,有两条路线可以选择:国道,或者是风景线 - 广视野路线及锦拼路线。

昨天我们从富良野到美瑛,就是广视野路线,观赏了迷人的薰衣草花园。

今天是第三天,我们将漫游锦拼路线。

这条路被称为锦拼,是因为远途种满了多种的农作物,如大麦,马铃薯,萝卜等,阳光下,不同的成熟度,呈现不同的颜色,就好象一幅锦拼般,还有许多树木。

日本Mild Seven 香烟的广告,因为在此取景,使到这里好多树木也因此而成名。

一部电影在此取景,一棵树就以该片的男女主角名字命名。。。

一棵小树,长在两棵大树之间,就被称为父母及孩子树。。。

该地段旅游局真聪明,利用各种机遇来推销旅游,非常的成功!

该感谢同行伙伴陈莉莉和陈少芳,在来之前,做了很多搜寻工作,准备好了一份景点名单。大雪山国家公园是我们下来的目的地。

北海道在四点左右就天亮了,所以早上七点,我们就准备好出门,而要到晚上七或八点才回到酒店。

今晚我们决定好好的品尝道地的日本拉面。一天的旅游之后,一碗热腾腾的拉面,是最好不过了!

我们到旭川拉面村享用拉面,美味极了!一级棒!
