Indigenous peoples have always called this place "Shihmen," which means "stone gate." Wild grasses and shrubs have clambered over the dried up riverbed, and the sound of lambs bleating drifts in from afar. December has always been the dry season here, and with the wind skating down off the mountain, the whole area seems desolate.
乾枯的廢河床上叢立著野生灌木，遠方傳來咩咩的羊叫聲，十二月本是旱季，再加上落山風乾刮，大地一片蕭索。
