    "description_zh_hant": "竹子湖位於陽明山國家公園核心區，海拔約650-670公尺，其北側為小觀音山、東依著七星山、西靠臨大屯山、向南則敞開一覽無遺地俯瞰臺北盆地。其原是35萬年前火山噴發造成的「堰塞湖」，因侵蝕作用產生缺口，湖水逐漸流失枯竭形成一處窪地。其自古即劃分為東湖、頂湖及下湖三個封閉的地區，東湖係指湖田國小一帶，為竹子湖地名原點之所在；頂湖係指越過湖田橋後，沿右邊產業道路前行，一處面積約20公頃的小盆地，因位於東湖之上方高處，故名頂湖；下湖則指今海芋大道一帶的盆地，竹子湖溪穿流其間，因位於東湖相對低處，故為下湖。竹子湖地名的由來竹子湖原是火山熔岩噴發形成的堰塞湖，因湖水逐漸流失形成一片濕地，一千多年前平埔族凱達格蘭人即開始進入屯墾。兩百年前漢人初到此地開墾時，因見土地泥濘且遍地竹林，於是稱此為竹子湖(閩南語中的「湖」有泥濘地的意思)。另有在地古老傳說，因山間盆地一帶早期簇生著箭竹林，山頂吹下的山風搖動箭竹林的景象，彷彿是湖水盪漾，因此稱之為竹子湖。竹子湖海芋季海芋原產於南非，因為它的苞片盛開時有如倒立的馬蹄，而植株又如同蓮花般生長在水中因此被稱為「馬蹄蓮」。目前竹子湖海芋花田生產總面積約有十三公頃，占全臺海芋產量百分之八十以上；海芋花期自每年元月至五月，花量最盛期在三至四月。竹子湖海芋以白色海芋為主，白色部分形姿優雅的「佛焰苞」並非其花，苞片中央黃色的肉穗花序上開滿了許多毫不起眼的小花，雌雄分隔，井然有序。竹子湖繡球花時序進入五月下旬，浪漫的白色海芋花海逐漸進入尾聲，緊接著是在端午連假盛開的紫藍色繡球花。竹子湖地區種植的繡球花約有7至8個品種，顏色多樣化，有純白色、粉色滾紅邊、粉紅色、紫紅色、淺藍色、藍色等色系；外型則同時有大輪花、中輪花分布在農園中，而且色彩濃豔、層次豐富，增添繡球花千變萬化的風采，相當適合拍照留念。",

    "description_en": "In the core area of Yangmingshan National Park, about 650 to 670 metres above sea level, Zhuzihu has Xiaoguanyin Mountain to the north, Qixing Mountain to the east and Datun Mountain to the west, while to the south it opens out over the Taipei Basin. It was originally a barrier lake formed by a volcanic eruption 350,000 years ago. Erosion broke a gap in it and the water gradually drained away, leaving a hollow. Since early times it has been divided into three enclosed areas: Donghu, Dinghu and Xiahu. Donghu is the area around Hutian Elementary School, where the name Zhuzihu began. Dinghu is a small basin of about 20 hectares beyond Hutian Bridge, along the farm road to the right; it is called Dinghu ('upper lake') because it lies above Donghu. Xiahu is the basin around what is now Haiyu Avenue, with Zhuzihu Stream running through it; it lies lower than Donghu, hence the name Xiahu ('lower lake'). As the lake drained it became wetland, and more than 1,000 years ago the Ketagalan, a Pingpu people, began to settle and farm here. When Han Chinese settlers arrived 200 years ago, they found muddy ground covered in bamboo and called it Zhuzihu ('bamboo lake'; in Hokkien the word for 'lake' can mean muddy ground). An old local legend gives another origin: the mountain basin was once thick with arrow bamboo, and when wind from the peaks swept through it, the bamboo rippled like the surface of a lake. Calla lilies are native to South Africa. Their Chinese name, 'horse-hoof lotus', comes from the bract, which looks like an upturned horse hoof when open, and from the way the plant grows in water like a lotus. They flower from January to May, peaking in March and April. The calla lilies of Zhuzihu are mainly white. The white part is a spathe, not the flower; many tiny flowers grow on the yellow spadix in its centre, with male and female flowers arranged separately. In late May, as the white calla lily season ends, purple-blue hydrangeas come into full bloom around the Dragon Boat Festival holiday. About seven or eight varieties of hydrangea are grown here, in white, pink with red edges, pink, magenta, pale blue and blue, with both large and medium flower heads in the farms, in rich, layered colours.",

    "description_ja": "竹子湖は陽明山国家公園の中心部にあり、標高は約650〜670メートルです。北に小観音山、東に七星山、西に大屯山があり、南は開けて台北盆地を一望できます。もとは35万年前の火山噴火でできたせき止め湖でしたが、浸食で切れ目ができ、湖水が次第に流れ出して窪地になりました。昔から東湖、頂湖、下湖の三つの閉じた地区に分かれています。東湖は湖田国小の周辺を指し、竹子湖という地名の発祥の地です。頂湖は湖田橋を越えて右手の産業道路を進んだところにある約20ヘクタールの小さな盆地で、東湖より高い所にあるため頂湖と呼ばれます。下湖は現在の海芋大道一帯の盆地で、竹子湖渓が流れています。東湖より低い所にあるため下湖と呼ばれます。湖水が抜けて湿地となったこの地には、1,000年以上前に平埔族のケタガラン族が入り、開墾を始めました。200年前に漢人が開墾に来たとき、ぬかるんだ土地一面に竹林が広がっていたことから、竹子湖と呼びました（閩南語の「湖」にはぬかるんだ土地という意味があります）。別の古い言い伝えでは、山あいの盆地にはかつて箭竹の林が茂り、山頂から吹き下ろす風に揺れる様子が湖面の波のように見えたことから、竹子湖と呼ばれるようになったといいます。海芋（カラー）は南アフリカ原産です。苞が開いた姿が逆さにした馬のひづめのようで、株が蓮のように水中で育つことから、「馬蹄蓮」とも呼ばれます。花期は毎年1月から5月で、最も多く咲くのは3月から4月です。竹子湖の海芋は白が中心です。白い部分は「仏炎苞」で、花ではありません。苞の中央にある黄色の肉穂花序に目立たない小さな花がたくさん咲き、雄花と雌花は分かれて整然と並んでいます。5月下旬、白い海芋の季節が終わりに近づくと、続いて端午節の連休ごろに紫や青の繡球花（アジサイ）が満開になります。竹子湖では7〜8品種ほどの繡球花が栽培され、白、縁が赤いピンク、ピンク、赤紫、水色、青などの色があります。農園には大輪と中輪の花があり、色が濃く、重なりも豊かです。",
