Palma Cathedral
Palma Cathedral
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
La Seu can also refer to Saint Mary of Valencia Cathedral.
"La Seu" Cathedral of Palma.
The Cathedral of Santa Maria of Palma, more commonly referred to as La Seu, is a Gothic Roman Catholic cathedral located in Palma, Majorca, Spain, built on the site of a pre-existing Arab mosque. It is 121 metres long, 55 metres wide and its nave is 44 metres tall. Designed in the Catalan Gothic style but with Northern European influences, it was begun by King James I of Aragon in 1229 but finished only in 1601. It sits within the old city of Palma atop the former citadel of the Roman city, between the Royal Palace of La Almudaina and the episcopal palace. It also overlooks the Parc de la Mar and the Mediterranean Sea.
In 1901, fifty years after a restoration of the Cathedral had started, Antoni Gaudí was invited to take over the project. While some of his ideas were adopted – moving the choir stalls from the middle nave to be closer to the altar, as well as a large canopy – Gaudí abandoned his work in 1914 after an argument with the contractor. The planned changes were essentially cosmetic rather than structural, and the project was cancelled soon after.

标题:台湾自由行攻略(半年交换生经验总结的,给大家个参考吧)
从台湾回来一个多月了,慢慢的更想念在台湾的那半年交换生生活。台湾之美,除了美景,美食,更吸引的在乎人。台湾人恭谦,温和,有让人意外的单纯和热情。所以我一直推荐后来人,自由行才是感受台湾最好的方式,这样才能更近的去了解这片土地。接下来就我自己游历的经验,给大家一些tips,去过的朋友帮忙补充,希望给之后有机会去台湾的大家一些参考。
概述: 1.关于钱:汇率 人民币:台币(NT)=1:4.7左右,浮动不大。个人建议带现金和Visa卡。银联的卡目前也可以使用。
2.关于旅游季节:除了7,8月份(太热)和1,2月份(太冷),其他月份都蛮适合的。个人推荐3,4月份(有春浪和春呐)。
3. 关于行李:泳衣(泡温泉,下海用),特色小礼物(很重要,因为你会发现路上有太多想要感谢的人),拖鞋;少带衣服啊,尤其是女生,因为你一定会忍不住要买的;箱子尽量大,因为特产很多;空白本子(盖纪念章)。
4.关于购物:除了各地的特产(下面会介绍),化妆品也可以购买(资生堂比较便宜,还有台湾的本地药妆,如广良源等)。还有就是夜市里各种有意思的东西。最最推荐的就是书和杂志,去诚品逛逛吧。明信片也是很必要的,各地都有得卖。
5.关于交通:全台只有台北和高雄有地铁,在台湾坐公车很不方便(班次间隔时间长)。城市之间的交通工具,有高铁(类似和谐号),台铁(普通火车)和客运(推荐统联)。价格: 高铁>台铁>客运;速度:高铁>台铁>客运。一般,火车站旁边就是客运站,很方便的。还有,大家迷路了尽管问路,在台湾问路也是一件很有意思的事情。Ps.客运不同时段价格不同,一般周五六日较贵,平时较便宜。
6.关于旅游服务中心:每到一个地方,大家最好先去旅客服务中心,一是拿免费的资料,如地图,行程建议等,很实用!(各大火车站也都有)还有就是盖纪念章,很有意思!!所以大家一定一定要带一个空白页的小本子来收集各地的纪念章哦!!
7. 关于语言:台湾人基本上都会讲国语,南部较常用台语,所以在南部问路可以问年轻人。字体是繁体字,这个大家都能看懂。(友情提示:大家在公众场合讲话,一定要轻声细语,不然真的很突兀;另外,常说谢谢,请问和不好意思等。)ps.我们两岸的一些用语习惯不同,比如:化妆间—洗手间,捷运—地铁,伴手礼—礼物,好康—优惠,夯 — 热门等等。
8.关于住宿:一般民宿都可以砍价,100台币上下浮动。还有,周五周六晚上是假日价,比平日价高出很多,酒店网站上都有说明的。
9.关于时间安排:台湾的商店开门都是很晚的,一般都是11点以后了,夜市自然是5,6点之后的,所以大家要安排好行程哈,早上就不用早起去逛街了。
台北:
交通: 1.从桃园机场直接坐机场大巴到台北车站下。
2.台北的交通以捷运(地铁)和公交为主。所以一定要在捷运站办“悠游卡”,办充值的就好,不需要办一日卡或者两日卡。悠游卡还可以在7-11等便利店使用。离开台北前记得要退还哈,有押金的。
住宿:台北的住宿较其他地方贵。推荐台北车站附近的怀宁旅店,电话是0223114811。http://www.keymans.com.tw/ 一定要提前预定,交押金,这家旅店很热门的。人均每晚150RMB左右,包自助早餐。(要注意的是,台湾的旅店都是按人头收费的,例如原本容纳2人的房间,多一个人要另外加钱)
行程:DAY 1:国父纪念馆(免门票,整点的时候有宪兵换岗,一定要看)—诚品信义旗舰店—台北101(最好傍晚去,同时看到日景和夜景)—台北故宫博物院(每周五下午免费)—淡水(最好下午去,看夕阳。包括淡水老街,渔人码头,红毛城,真理大学以及拍摄《不能说的秘密》的淡江中学等)---士林夜市(官财板,大饼包小饼,大香肠,青蛙下蛋等)
DAY 2:总统府(免门票,每年有七次全面开放的时间,最好事先查下。当时我们就很有幸赶上了)— 中正纪念堂(免门票。整点的时候有宪兵换岗)—台湾大学(台湾第一学府,值得一逛。周围美食很多,强烈推荐台大正门对街的陈三鼎奶茶和金鸡园,找不到问人,台大学生都知道的)—永康街(小资的地方,有很多有意思的店)—西门町(潮流中心,晚上很热闹)—龙山寺,艋舺(个人感觉没什么意思,时间有多可以去)
DAY3:小众推荐:台北市立美术馆(事先查好有无感兴趣的展览,水准颇高,当时我和雁看的是Richard Rogers的建筑展)—台北故事馆;或者去永乐市场(台湾最大的布料市场,适合女生逛);或者去猫空坐缆车,品茶(猫空也是看夜景的圣地);夜市,个人比较喜欢师大夜市(适合年轻人)和饶河街夜市;阳明山,适合看夜景(最佳位置是人文大学的后门)。
第三天下午的时候,回酒店拿行李,该出发去九份啦!
九份:
交通:台北车站坐火车到瑞芳站下,然后在瑞芳火车站对面坐汽车到九份。
住宿:推荐谢叔叔的b&b民宿,+886930160786。很好很热情的人,跟他聊天很有意思,退休后和太太开的这间民宿。环境超好。http://tw.myblog.yahoo.com/ppw521
行程:Day 4:到处走,随便走。不过,不要在老街上花太多时间。爬下鸡笼山,九份国中和国小,竖崎街等都不错。晚上到7-11对面坐公车去基隆。逛下庙口夜市。好吃的非常多,如营养三明治,油饭,蟹羹等。回来后再在九份街上逛一下,这时候人潮褪去,你就能看到九份的另一种美。
Day 5:起来,起得早的可以爬到鸡笼山上看日出。然后收拾下,准备出发去宜兰啦!
美食:阿柑姨芋圆(我可以负责任的告诉你,这是全台最好吃的芋圆!!不吃会死!记得加炼乳),7-11前面的李义饼店,老街上的鱼丸也不错。
宜兰:
交通:瑞芳火车站坐到苏澳站或者宜兰站(我建议是住在苏澳哈)。宜兰很大,境内交通不是很方面。各个乡之间以坐火车为便。几个景点之间可以有免费接驳车。
住宿:苏澳 —“名泉天下民宿”:宜蘭縣蘇澳鎮新生路18、20號(冷泉公园入口处,离火车站很近的。)http://www.digarts.com.tw/tea/p-1.htm。这个民宿真是超级棒!老板是木雕收藏者,超级热情可爱!会请你喝茶哦!他们家房间是新装修的,床是古董类型的,霸道!价格很合适,很干净,而且交通便利。
行程建议:DAY 5:从九份刚过来,建议大家安顿好,马上去泡冷泉!这个苏澳冷泉非常有名,温度常年保持在21°,富含各种营养元素,据说其他只有意大利的西西里岛有。泡完冷泉,去吃“名泉天下民宿”对面的“手擀面”。这个是我心目中排名第一的美食!!然后下午准备去“国立传统艺术中心。”逛完坐免费的接驳车去著名的罗东夜市。很多很多好吃的,强烈推荐义丰葱油饼(夜市门口,排了老长队的);包心粉圆,龙凤腿,三星卜肉等等,反正哪里人多往哪里钻!哈哈!还有,“诺贝尔奶冻”(灰常好吃!),离罗东夜市不远,大家问下路。
DAY 6:如果不是很累,早起吧,问老板借自行车,去海边逛逛吧!然后出发去花莲!
特产:宜兰牛舌饼
花莲+台东
简介:花东之行比较特别,我们住在云水小筑,一切行程请老板娘文静阿姨帮我们安排,包括车,住宿,美食•••他们的安排很合理。因为文静阿姨是阿美族,台东的导游东昌大哥是卑南族,他们带我们去领略真正的花东之美,体验原住民的生活,非常愉快的。再加上花东交通不便,景点分散,所以强烈推荐大家去云水小筑!总之就是无穷无尽的惊喜!!
交通:坐火车到花莲站
住宿:云水小筑http://www.hlplay.tw/cloudhome/room.htm
行程:就跟着他们走吧,准没错!提前跟文静阿姨自己的时间安排哦,我建议是三天两夜。(特别推荐:花莲夜市,是我们去过最小的夜市。推荐的原因在于,夜市后面就是大海,坐在堤坝上聊天,看夜景,看烟火是我整个台湾之行中,最深刻美好的记忆之一)
特产:花莲麻薯(曾记的不错),牛轧糖等(尽管试吃去吧,花莲人很热情很淳朴!)
垦丁:作者——林之雁(比我还碎碎念)
交通:坐客运或火车到高雄,拼一辆计程车或者私家计程车(黑的)到垦丁。
行程:4月初的垦丁大概聚集了全台湾一半的年轻人和外国人,因为时逢春假,更有狂欢的摇滚流行电音的音乐节!春呐集中了无数非主流的地下的未出名的乐队和DJ(最high的地方);春浪则有包括苏打绿梁静茹范晓萱萧敬腾林宥嘉等等等的歌手乐团。我们去的是春浪(插一句:门票在7-11的订票机就可以买到,不过需要尽早订,像我们因为订得晚,只买到两日票NT1800。各大音乐节都有主页。)2点多到达猫鼻头公园,发现这时排队的都是陆生= =;4点多开始正式排队,这时候一定要做好防晒!检票和安检之后就勇敢地跑吧,为站在第一排观看演出狂奔吧!
白天的垦丁紫外线强度超高太阳超毒,防晒是第一要务,至于太阳镜花长裙藤编包包夏威夷风就大胆地往身上摆吧。
推荐:恒春镇上走走,看看阿嘉的家(《海角七号》,我觉得门口卖的明信片真的很难看),尝尝绿豆蒜/馔(就是绿豆爽),不过要先问清楚公车时刻;鹅銮鼻公园,走到台湾最南端,还有《我在垦丁天气晴》阮经天照给李康宜的灯塔;冒着晒脱皮的危险到海边玩水上运动;垦丁海洋生物博物馆,是台湾最大的海生馆,值得一去;还有我们最后时间关系没有去成的国家森林公园...翻墙看之http://www.ktnp.gov.tw/
晚上除了春浪我们就去了垦丁大街,灯红酒绿鸟语花香,大家摩肩擦踵在临时隔出的人行道挤看着各种小吃和衣物饰品的贩卖,时不时还有宣传音乐节的穿得极辣的辣妹群魔乱舞汹涌而过!不过垦丁本身特色小吃就比较少了。也可以趁着夜色一伙人跑到沙滩(小湾是经典推荐,综艺节目上说的- -)喝喝小酒玩玩真心话过过放纵堕落的夜生活。
值得一提的是南部民众一般偏绿,我们的回程就遇上一个可怖的蜀黍!在路上行了一大半后,蜀黍突然侃到外国交换生,于是开始破口大骂大陆,连中国是中国台湾是台湾这种话都脱口而出!我们不由得XX一紧..终于也亲身接触传说中以台独为唯一政治立场的南部老人..
住宿:住的地方倒是不用担心,垦丁到处都是民宿,在旺季要尽早订房, NT400-500/人。
另附一篇文章,也许能让你看到《春天呐喊之外的垦丁》http://stn.eslite.com/Article.aspx?id=493
预习作业:《海角七号》、《我在垦丁天气晴》
高雄
交通:拼一辆计程车或者私家计程车(黑的)到高雄
行程:如果时间有多,可以在高雄过夜,毕竟是台湾第二大城市。但是时间紧的话就不用了啦。好玩的我推荐:旗津。这是一个小岛,需要坐轮渡过去,记得租自行车哈!人多可以砍价。差不多就是100 NT /人;还有驳二艺术区,也蛮有意思的,类似北京798。如果过夜的话,晚上可以去游梦河,逛六合夜市。(其实夜市逛多了,也没什么意思)
住宿:因为我没有住过,所以没法推荐。
美食:离旗津码头很近的“大碗公”冰品!太洋气了!碗超大,料超多,味道还满正的!然后到旗津了可以吃下烤小卷(其实就是鱿鱼),有家蛮多人排队的,还不错吃哈。
Tips:恩哼!高雄和台南,包括垦丁都是“绿营区”,大家讲话注意哈!不要像我之前遇到的一个大傻b说什么一定要统一这种话。每个人立场不一样,不要妄图以我们的一面之词改变人家几十年的养成形的观念。总之呢,不谈政治,尤其在南部。当然啦,南部人超级热情的,也很淳朴,即使你是大陆人啦!
台南:
交通:从高雄坐火车或客运都可以(推荐客运,因为不远)
住宿:囧,实在记不起来叫什么了,台南火车站出门左转过一个十字路口再走大概50米(在一家菓风小铺对面)。特点就是便宜,环境还行,交通便利。
行程:1.时间允许的话,最好周六或者周日去台南,因为台南的夜市是轮流开放的,周末是花园夜市,台湾最大的夜市
2.台南是台湾的古都,有很多历史古迹,所以赤坎楼—成功大学—安平古堡—安平树屋(这个我喜欢,强烈推荐),时间有多还可以去孔庙等等。停一天就差不多了,然后准备出发去阿里山吧!
美食:1.台南是台湾排名第一的美食之都!!所以尽情去吃吧!!如果不知道吃什么,可以问下出租车司机们,他们知道最多的好吃了!
2.推荐:a.安平树屋前面的“安平豆花”,人多的话不同口味的都点一份,都不错
b.安平古堡前面的周记虾卷,个人觉得一般,但很有名
c.度小月担仔面,很有名的
d. 莉莉水果店,其实是冰品店(很有名,但是我们当时没吃到)
e.金得春卷:当时出租车司机强烈推荐给我们的,可惜我们没时间吃,遗憾啊! 地址:台南市民族路三段19号。吃了的同学们,回来跟我说下哈,我过过干瘾•••
f.夜市:哪里人多吃哪里,想吃什么吃什么!嘿嘿
嘉义(阿里山):
交通:从台南坐火车到嘉义站,然后坐阿里山小火车上山啦!
住宿: 美利亚山庄http://meiliya.ho.net.tw/meiliya-index.asp 特点:服务态度好,价格便
宜,环境舒适!地址:嘉義縣阿里山鄉中正村49號
行程:5,6月份去的同学,晚上可以去看萤火虫哦。其他季节也会有不同的活动,到了问酒店前台的姐姐们吧。早上起来看日出,阿里山的日出很有美滴,还有看云海(最佳观看地点到了后问人),然后再阿里山森林公园到处走走,都逛一遍,下午就可以搭火车或公车去奋起湖啦。其实奋起湖不是个湖,是个小村庄。由于地势高,云雾缭绕,个人很喜欢!推荐!游览完就准备下山啦!回到嘉义市区后,如果有时间,去中正大学逛逛吧,就是拍摄《流星花园》的学校。
Ps:一定要事先查好火车或者公车时刻表,做好规划,不然要等很久的。
美食:阿里山上面其实没什么好吃的,大家将就吃一顿吧;到奋起湖后,有著名的火车便当,还有一条老街卖各式小吃的;嘉义市区,就是吃火鸡肉饭。火车站前面就有几家,我们当时是随便挑了人多的那一家吃的。
特产:1.千万,千万不要在阿里山上买特产!!就是专门针对大陆人卖的,你懂的。。。
2.嘉义市区可以买老杨方块酥。包装蛮好看,很适合送人,味道也不错哦。火车站前就有一家的。
台中:(感动啊,终于写到台中了,我的学校就在台中,我爱台中!!)
交通:从嘉义坐火车回台中。
住宿:台中的MOTEL在全台都很有名,想当初,阮经天带美眉去酒店被抓就是在台中•••但是我
真没住过,所以没法推荐,大家上网查查吧。位置最好离逢甲大学或一中街或火车站近的。因为台中交通的话,只有打的或者公交,打的贵,公交不方便。
行程:1.市区:一中街(女生逛街买东西的圣地;有个中友百货,十楼是诚品书店,值得一逛的!),东海大学(台湾最美大学不是浪得虚名的!),逢甲夜市(衣食住行都可以在这里解决啦!很多小摊上的衣服都很好看的。除了夜市,大家还可以去宝雅生活馆买化妆品,尤其是台湾药妆!比屈臣氏便宜的!问路哈!),逢甲大学(我亲爱的学校,虽然很小,但是很有意思的!在夜市逛累了也可以进去学校休息下)
2.鹿港小镇:作者—林之雁(我想你们看得出来的•••)
动力火车把忠孝东路走了九遍,罗大佑还是惦记着它的鹿港小镇。鹿港镇位于彰化县。作为建筑学学生,鹿港小镇算得上是很重要的、台湾仅有不多的、可以用作中国建筑史讲课素材的地方。香火鼎盛的天后宫,庙前是各种小吃的聚会;老街的别样风情,坐在茶楼里吃一碗面茶,顺便品一品老台湾风格的装潢(台湾花布做的桌布很赞哦);或是是倾情推荐——玉珍斋!把合眼缘的都带回去尝尝,保证想去第二次!
推荐:1、当然是玉珍斋!虽然在台湾很多地方有分店,但是要认在鹿港的总店:http://www.lukang.org/lukangweb/index.asp这家。很多人推荐的凤眼糕我们是觉得还好啦,牛舌饼和另一种形似对折牛舌饼的糕饼才是我们的最爱!话说回来,全台牛舌饼最出名的地方有二:鹿港的软而糯,宜兰的脆而香,都是清甜可口!
2、鹿港老街。石板路、旧房子,还有怀旧气息浓厚的茶楼和杂货铺,走走停停也许还会遇见拍婚纱照的新人儿。
3、天后宫。貌似是全台历史最悠久的妈祖庙,香火旺到妈祖娘娘直接变成“黑面妈”!出了庙门就是各种小吃和糕饼的摊档,虽然我还是最喜欢玉珍斋。
4、在老街周围零星散布着各个小型的景点,既然到了这看似与世无争的地方,就抛开城市喧嚣和内心浮躁,散散步吧!可以在鹿港/彰化/台中或其他城市的旅游中心拿到,或参照http://047lukang.emmm.tw/map_scenic.php景点地图,像摸乳巷、九曲巷、半边井都值得一探究竟;龙山寺则有着全台最大的八卦藻井;民俗文化馆看看外观也不错。
5、中山路是鹿港最大的马路,其实没什么逛头,令人喜爱的是振味珍包子,不论鲜肉还是面皮都是一流!NT15/个,值得一尝。
ps:沿振味珍右边小巷的指引,走到兴安宫门口,会发现一个极端低调的小摊,摊主婆婆卖的是泰兴梅饼——胡续冬老师鹿港之行,友人千叮万嘱托他买的就是这个。于是我抱着本地人可信度高的想法跟风买,结果这味道..倒也不是不好吃,只是..口味实在小众得很..主要是甘草味实在太纯正..以上纯属吐槽。
3.日月潭:你真的要去日月潭吗?真的要去吗?好吧,如果你一定要去看这个水潭子,那你就接着看吧。不过事先说明哈,这个是我在台湾去过最无聊的地方之一,漫山遍野的大陆游客啊•••林之雁说,这就是传的神乎其神的大陆人心目中大神地位的经典景点•••不过湖水挺干净的•••
• 交通:从台中火车站前面的公交站坐车去埔里,然后在埔里坐车去日月潭;也有直达日月潭的。(有点忘掉了,大家再查证下哈。)
• 行程:之前我们去的时候,有个套票,比较划算,包括了环湖巴士,缆车什么的。所以呢,时间多的话,先坐环湖巴士绕一圈,沿途停靠:水社旅客服务中心、朝雾码头、环湖路口、文武庙、松柏仑步道、大竹湖步道、水蛙头步道、青年活动中心、伊达邵、土亭仔步道、玄奘寺、玄光寺。(每整点之30分由水社旅客服务中心发车至玄光寺,每整点0分由玄光寺发车返回旅客服务中心。 )然后就是从朝雾码头坐船去缆车站,然后坐缆车去九族文化村(做好排队的准备)。所谓九族文化村呢,就是把9个原住民集中在一起建的一个文化村。去吧去吧,如果你都到了日月潭了。。。ps.查好回台中的车程表。中间间隔很久的!
美食:•市区:a.东海大学:东海夜市的莲心冰鸡爪和芋头冰很好吃啊。
b.一中街:有一条街都是卖吃的,推荐打饼铺,北回木瓜牛奶(这才叫木瓜牛奶啊!!),胖子鸡丁(好吃!),小僵尸棺材,丰仁冰(这个我没吃到,郁闷啊),等等。
c:逢甲夜市:我最爱的夜市啊!超多超多吃的,推荐官之林大肠包小肠(逢甲正校门直走第一个路口,不要走错了,排队是必须滴),牛牛小集木瓜牛奶(官之林隔壁),大甲芋头城的芋头冰和素食臭豆腐(我心目中排名前三的美食啊,这家臭豆腐太经典啦!!!问路问路哈!),傻瓜面,日船章鱼小丸子(临走前发现的,一次吃了两份,跟我们这里的小丸子天差地别啊!),月亮虾饼,一家之薯,采唐泡芙,四方烤鸭饼,帝钧胡椒饼,地瓜球。。。真是太多吃的了,所以大家每样少买点,都吃吃看!
Ps:除了加粗的前四样美食,其他都在面向逢甲大学校门右手边一直走的那条街上的哈。
d.台中市区的公益路上有超多特色餐馆的!如果你有时间,一定要去吃啊。高水准!推荐:品田牧场(王品旗下,特色猪排,好吃不贵!),鼎王(火锅,鸭血和豆皮自助,其他点菜,推荐他的酸梅汤),八钱(还是火锅),烤状猿(日式烧烤自助,赞啊!!),西媞牛排(王品旗下的高端牛排)•••这些都很热门的,所以最好提前预约哈!
•日月潭:我们午饭是在缆车站吃的,o(╯□╰)o,所以啦,你懂的•••
特产:•市区:先麦芋头酥(本来带回来送人,结果都自己吃了•••离逢甲蛮近的),
日出大地凤梨酥(好吃啊好吃!在臺中市西區中港路一段382號),太阳
饼(自由路二段23号的蓝底招牌的那家,不要走错了)
•鹿港: 玉珍斋等(如上介绍)
•日月潭:九族文化村里的一些挂饰还蛮可爱的,看个人爱好买啦)
台湾之行就结束啦!然后大家到台中火车站前面的统联客运,坐直达桃园机场的客运,
就一切ok啦。
当当当当!!我终于写完啦!!以上都是本人半年玩乐总结出来的攻略,推荐的都是
比较主流的景点。其实台湾的美当然不止于此啦,还有小琉球,高美湿地,薰衣草森
林,新社农庄,集集小镇等等等等。如果大家有兴趣的话,我再另外写一篇吧。大家
还有什么想知道的,尽管问哈,我会持续添加或修改的!!
最后说一句,台湾真的很美很美,有机会要去,没有机会创造机会也要去啊!!!
标题:台湾自由行攻略(半年交换生经验总结的,给大家个参考吧)
从台湾回来一个多月了,慢慢的更想念在台湾的那半年交换生生活。台湾之美,除了美景,美食,更吸引的在乎人。台湾人恭谦,温和,有让人意外的单纯和热情。所以我一直推荐后来人,自由行才是感受台湾最好的方式,这样才能更近的去了解这片土地。接下来就我自己游历的经验,给大家一些tips,去过的朋友帮忙补充,希望给之后有机会去台湾的大家一些参考。
概述: 1.关于钱:汇率 人民币:台币(NT)=1:4.7左右,浮动不大。个人建议带现金和Visa卡。银联的卡目前也可以使用。
2.关于旅游季节:除了7,8月份(太热)和1,2月份(太冷),其他月份都蛮适合的。个人推荐3,4月份(有春浪和春呐)。
3. 关于行李:泳衣(泡温泉,下海用),特色小礼物(很重要,因为你会发现路上有太多想要感谢的人),拖鞋;少带衣服啊,尤其是女生,因为你一定会忍不住要买的;箱子尽量大,因为特产很多;空白本子(盖纪念章)。
4.关于购物:除了各地的特产(下面会介绍),化妆品也可以购买(资生堂比较便宜,还有台湾的本地药妆,如广良源等)。还有就是夜市里各种有意思的东西。最最推荐的就是书和杂志,去诚品逛逛吧。明信片也是很必要的,各地都有得卖。
5.关于交通:全台只有台北和高雄有地铁,在台湾坐公车很不方便(班次间隔时间长)。城市之间的交通工具,有高铁(类似和谐号),台铁(普通火车)和客运(推荐统联)。价格: 高铁>台铁>客运;速度:高铁>台铁>客运。一般,火车站旁边就是客运站,很方便的。还有,大家迷路了尽管问路,在台湾问路也是一件很有意思的事情。Ps.客运不同时段价格不同,一般周五六日较贵,平时较便宜。
6.关于旅游服务中心:每到一个地方,大家最好先去旅客服务中心,一是拿免费的资料,如地图,行程建议等,很实用!(各大火车站也都有)还有就是盖纪念章,很有意思!!所以大家一定一定要带一个空白页的小本子来收集各地的纪念章哦!!
7. 关于语言:台湾人基本上都会讲国语,南部较常用台语,所以在南部问路可以问年轻人。字体是繁体字,这个大家都能看懂。(友情提示:大家在公众场合讲话,一定要轻声细语,不然真的很突兀;另外,常说谢谢,请问和不好意思等。)ps.我们两岸的一些用语习惯不同,比如:化妆间—洗手间,捷运—地铁,伴手礼—礼物,好康—优惠,夯 — 热门等等。
8.关于住宿:一般民宿都可以砍价,100台币上下浮动。还有,周五周六晚上是假日价,比平日价高出很多,酒店网站上都有说明的。
9.关于时间安排:台湾的商店开门都是很晚的,一般都是11点以后了,夜市自然是5,6点之后的,所以大家要安排好行程哈,早上就不用早起去逛街了。
台北:
交通: 1.从桃园机场直接坐机场大巴到台北车站下。
2.台北的交通以捷运(地铁)和公交为主。所以一定要在捷运站办“悠游卡”,办充值的就好,不需要办一日卡或者两日卡。悠游卡还可以在7-11等便利店使用。离开台北前记得要退还哈,有押金的。
住宿:台北的住宿较其他地方贵。推荐台北车站附近的怀宁旅店,电话是0223114811。http://www.keymans.com.tw/ 一定要提前预定,交押金,这家旅店很热门的。人均每晚150RMB左右,包自助早餐。(要注意的是,台湾的旅店都是按人头收费的,例如原本容纳2人的房间,多一个人要另外加钱)
行程:DAY 1:国父纪念馆(免门票,整点的时候有宪兵换岗,一定要看)—诚品信义旗舰店—台北101(最好傍晚去,同时看到日景和夜景)—台北故宫博物院(每周五下午免费)—淡水(最好下午去,看夕阳。包括淡水老街,渔人码头,红毛城,真理大学以及拍摄《不能说的秘密》的淡江中学等)---士林夜市(官财板,大饼包小饼,大香肠,青蛙下蛋等)
DAY 2:总统府(免门票,每年有七次全面开放的时间,最好事先查下。当时我们就很有幸赶上了)— 中正纪念堂(免门票。整点的时候有宪兵换岗)—台湾大学(台湾第一学府,值得一逛。周围美食很多,强烈推荐台大正门对街的陈三鼎奶茶和金鸡园,找不到问人,台大学生都知道的)—永康街(小资的地方,有很多有意思的店)—西门町(潮流中心,晚上很热闹)—龙山寺,艋舺(个人感觉没什么意思,时间有多可以去)
DAY3:小众推荐:台北市立美术馆(事先查好有无感兴趣的展览,水准颇高,当时我和雁看的是Richard Rogers的建筑展)—台北故事馆;或者去永乐市场(台湾最大的布料市场,适合女生逛);或者去猫空坐缆车,品茶(猫空也是看夜景的圣地);夜市,个人比较喜欢师大夜市(适合年轻人)和饶河街夜市;阳明山,适合看夜景(最佳位置是人文大学的后门)。
第三天下午的时候,回酒店拿行李,该出发去九份啦!
九份:
交通:台北车站坐火车到瑞芳站下,然后在瑞芳火车站对面坐汽车到九份。
住宿:推荐谢叔叔的b&b民宿,+886930160786。很好很热情的人,跟他聊天很有意思,退休后和太太开的这间民宿。环境超好。http://tw.myblog.yahoo.com/ppw521
行程:Day 4:到处走,随便走。不过,不要在老街上花太多时间。爬下鸡笼山,九份国中和国小,竖崎街等都不错。晚上到7-11对面坐公车去基隆。逛下庙口夜市。好吃的非常多,如营养三明治,油饭,蟹羹等。回来后再在九份街上逛一下,这时候人潮褪去,你就能看到九份的另一种美。
Day 5:起来,起得早的可以爬到鸡笼山上看日出。然后收拾下,准备出发去宜兰啦!
美食:阿柑姨芋圆(我可以负责任的告诉你,这是全台最好吃的芋圆!!不吃会死!记得加炼乳),7-11前面的李义饼店,老街上的鱼丸也不错。
宜兰:
交通:瑞芳火车站坐到苏澳站或者宜兰站(我建议是住在苏澳哈)。宜兰很大,境内交通不是很方面。各个乡之间以坐火车为便。几个景点之间可以有免费接驳车。
住宿:苏澳 —“名泉天下民宿”:宜蘭縣蘇澳鎮新生路18、20號(冷泉公园入口处,离火车站很近的。)http://www.digarts.com.tw/tea/p-1.htm。这个民宿真是超级棒!老板是木雕收藏者,超级热情可爱!会请你喝茶哦!他们家房间是新装修的,床是古董类型的,霸道!价格很合适,很干净,而且交通便利。
行程建议:DAY 5:从九份刚过来,建议大家安顿好,马上去泡冷泉!这个苏澳冷泉非常有名,温度常年保持在21°,富含各种营养元素,据说其他只有意大利的西西里岛有。泡完冷泉,去吃“名泉天下民宿”对面的“手擀面”。这个是我心目中排名第一的美食!!然后下午准备去“国立传统艺术中心。”逛完坐免费的接驳车去著名的罗东夜市。很多很多好吃的,强烈推荐义丰葱油饼(夜市门口,排了老长队的);包心粉圆,龙凤腿,三星卜肉等等,反正哪里人多往哪里钻!哈哈!还有,“诺贝尔奶冻”(灰常好吃!),离罗东夜市不远,大家问下路。
DAY 6:如果不是很累,早起吧,问老板借自行车,去海边逛逛吧!然后出发去花莲!
特产:宜兰牛舌饼
花莲+台东
简介:花东之行比较特别,我们住在云水小筑,一切行程请老板娘文静阿姨帮我们安排,包括车,住宿,美食•••他们的安排很合理。因为文静阿姨是阿美族,台东的导游东昌大哥是卑南族,他们带我们去领略真正的花东之美,体验原住民的生活,非常愉快的。再加上花东交通不便,景点分散,所以强烈推荐大家去云水小筑!总之就是无穷无尽的惊喜!!
交通:坐火车到花莲站
住宿:云水小筑http://www.hlplay.tw/cloudhome/room.htm
行程:就跟着他们走吧,准没错!提前跟文静阿姨自己的时间安排哦,我建议是三天两夜。(特别推荐:花莲夜市,是我们去过最小的夜市。推荐的原因在于,夜市后面就是大海,坐在堤坝上聊天,看夜景,看烟火是我整个台湾之行中,最深刻美好的记忆之一)
特产:花莲麻薯(曾记的不错),牛轧糖等(尽管试吃去吧,花莲人很热情很淳朴!)
垦丁:作者——林之雁(比我还碎碎念)
交通:坐客运或火车到高雄,拼一辆计程车或者私家计程车(黑的)到垦丁。
行程:4月初的垦丁大概聚集了全台湾一半的年轻人和外国人,因为时逢春假,更有狂欢的摇滚流行电音的音乐节!春呐集中了无数非主流的地下的未出名的乐队和DJ(最high的地方);春浪则有包括苏打绿梁静茹范晓萱萧敬腾林宥嘉等等等的歌手乐团。我们去的是春浪(插一句:门票在7-11的订票机就可以买到,不过需要尽早订,像我们因为订得晚,只买到两日票NT1800。各大音乐节都有主页。)2点多到达猫鼻头公园,发现这时排队的都是陆生= =;4点多开始正式排队,这时候一定要做好防晒!检票和安检之后就勇敢地跑吧,为站在第一排观看演出狂奔吧!
白天的垦丁紫外线强度超高太阳超毒,防晒是第一要务,至于太阳镜花长裙藤编包包夏威夷风就大胆地往身上摆吧。
推荐:恒春镇上走走,看看阿嘉的家(《海角七号》,我觉得门口卖的明信片真的很难看),尝尝绿豆蒜/馔(就是绿豆爽),不过要先问清楚公车时刻;鹅銮鼻公园,走到台湾最南端,还有《我在垦丁天气晴》阮经天照给李康宜的灯塔;冒着晒脱皮的危险到海边玩水上运动;垦丁海洋生物博物馆,是台湾最大的海生馆,值得一去;还有我们最后时间关系没有去成的国家森林公园...翻墙看之http://www.ktnp.gov.tw/
晚上除了春浪我们就去了垦丁大街,灯红酒绿鸟语花香,大家摩肩擦踵在临时隔出的人行道挤看着各种小吃和衣物饰品的贩卖,时不时还有宣传音乐节的穿得极辣的辣妹群魔乱舞汹涌而过!不过垦丁本身特色小吃就比较少了。也可以趁着夜色一伙人跑到沙滩(小湾是经典推荐,综艺节目上说的- -)喝喝小酒玩玩真心话过过放纵堕落的夜生活。
值得一提的是南部民众一般偏绿,我们的回程就遇上一个可怖的蜀黍!在路上行了一大半后,蜀黍突然侃到外国交换生,于是开始破口大骂大陆,连中国是中国台湾是台湾这种话都脱口而出!我们不由得XX一紧..终于也亲身接触传说中以台独为唯一政治立场的南部老人..
住宿:住的地方倒是不用担心,垦丁到处都是民宿,在旺季要尽早订房, NT400-500/人。
另附一篇文章,也许能让你看到《春天呐喊之外的垦丁》http://stn.eslite.com/Article.aspx?id=493
预习作业:《海角七号》、《我在垦丁天气晴》
高雄
交通:拼一辆计程车或者私家计程车(黑的)到高雄
行程:如果时间有多,可以在高雄过夜,毕竟是台湾第二大城市。但是时间紧的话就不用了啦。好玩的我推荐:旗津。这是一个小岛,需要坐轮渡过去,记得租自行车哈!人多可以砍价。差不多就是100 NT /人;还有驳二艺术区,也蛮有意思的,类似北京798。如果过夜的话,晚上可以去游梦河,逛六合夜市。(其实夜市逛多了,也没什么意思)
住宿:因为我没有住过,所以没法推荐。
美食:离旗津码头很近的“大碗公”冰品!太洋气了!碗超大,料超多,味道还满正的!然后到旗津了可以吃下烤小卷(其实就是鱿鱼),有家蛮多人排队的,还不错吃哈。
Tips:恩哼!高雄和台南,包括垦丁都是“绿营区”,大家讲话注意哈!不要像我之前遇到的一个大傻b说什么一定要统一这种话。每个人立场不一样,不要妄图以我们的一面之词改变人家几十年的养成形的观念。总之呢,不谈政治,尤其在南部。当然啦,南部人超级热情的,也很淳朴,即使你是大陆人啦!
台南:
交通:从高雄坐火车或客运都可以(推荐客运,因为不远)
住宿:囧,实在记不起来叫什么了,台南火车站出门左转过一个十字路口再走大概50米(在一家菓风小铺对面)。特点就是便宜,环境还行,交通便利。
行程:1.时间允许的话,最好周六或者周日去台南,因为台南的夜市是轮流开放的,周末是花园夜市,台湾最大的夜市
2.台南是台湾的古都,有很多历史古迹,所以赤坎楼—成功大学—安平古堡—安平树屋(这个我喜欢,强烈推荐),时间有多还可以去孔庙等等。停一天就差不多了,然后准备出发去阿里山吧!
美食:1.台南是台湾排名第一的美食之都!!所以尽情去吃吧!!如果不知道吃什么,可以问下出租车司机们,他们知道最多的好吃了!
2.推荐:a.安平树屋前面的“安平豆花”,人多的话不同口味的都点一份,都不错
b.安平古堡前面的周记虾卷,个人觉得一般,但很有名
c.度小月担仔面,很有名的
d. 莉莉水果店,其实是冰品店(很有名,但是我们当时没吃到)
e.金得春卷:当时出租车司机强烈推荐给我们的,可惜我们没时间吃,遗憾啊! 地址:台南市民族路三段19号。吃了的同学们,回来跟我说下哈,我过过干瘾•••
f.夜市:哪里人多吃哪里,想吃什么吃什么!嘿嘿
嘉义(阿里山):
交通:从台南坐火车到嘉义站,然后坐阿里山小火车上山啦!
住宿: 美利亚山庄http://meiliya.ho.net.tw/meiliya-index.asp 特点:服务态度好,价格便
宜,环境舒适!地址:嘉義縣阿里山鄉中正村49號
行程:5,6月份去的同学,晚上可以去看萤火虫哦。其他季节也会有不同的活动,到了问酒店前台的姐姐们吧。早上起来看日出,阿里山的日出很有美滴,还有看云海(最佳观看地点到了后问人),然后再阿里山森林公园到处走走,都逛一遍,下午就可以搭火车或公车去奋起湖啦。其实奋起湖不是个湖,是个小村庄。由于地势高,云雾缭绕,个人很喜欢!推荐!游览完就准备下山啦!回到嘉义市区后,如果有时间,去中正大学逛逛吧,就是拍摄《流星花园》的学校。
Ps:一定要事先查好火车或者公车时刻表,做好规划,不然要等很久的。
美食:阿里山上面其实没什么好吃的,大家将就吃一顿吧;到奋起湖后,有著名的火车便当,还有一条老街卖各式小吃的;嘉义市区,就是吃火鸡肉饭。火车站前面就有几家,我们当时是随便挑了人多的那一家吃的。

2.嘉义市区可以买老杨方块酥。包装蛮好看,很适合送人,味道也不错哦。火车站前就有一家的。
台中:(感动啊,终于写到台中了,我的学校就在台中,我爱台中!!)
交通:从嘉义坐火车回台中。
住宿:台中的MOTEL在全台都很有名,想当初,阮经天带美眉去酒店被抓就是在台中•••但是我
真没住过,所以没法推荐,大家上网查查吧。位置最好离逢甲大学或一中街或火车站近的。因为台中交通的话,只有打的或者公交,打的贵,公交不方便。
行程:1.市区:一中街(女生逛街买东西的圣地;有个中友百货,十楼是诚品书店,值得一逛的!),东海大学(台湾最美大学不是浪得虚名的!),逢甲夜市(衣食住行都可以在这里解决啦!很多小摊上的衣服都很好看的。除了夜市,大家还可以去宝雅生活馆买化妆品,尤其是台湾药妆!比屈臣氏便宜的!问路哈!),逢甲大学(我亲爱的学校,虽然很小,但是很有意思的!在夜市逛累了也可以进去学校休息下)
2.鹿港小镇:作者—林之雁(我想你们看得出来的•••)
动力火车把忠孝东路走了九遍,罗大佑还是惦记着它的鹿港小镇。鹿港镇位于彰化县。作为建筑学学生,鹿港小镇算得上是很重要的、台湾仅有不多的、可以用作中国建筑史讲课素材的地方。香火鼎盛的天后宫,庙前是各种小吃的聚会;老街的别样风情,坐在茶楼里吃一碗面茶,顺便品一品老台湾风格的装潢(台湾花布做的桌布很赞哦);或是是倾情推荐——玉珍斋!把合眼缘的都带回去尝尝,保证想去第二次!

2、鹿港老街。石板路、旧房子,还有怀旧气息浓厚的茶楼和杂货铺,走走停停也许还会遇见拍婚纱照的新人儿。
3、天后宫。貌似是全台历史最悠久的妈祖庙,香火旺到妈祖娘娘直接变成“黑面妈”!出了庙门就是各种小吃和糕饼的摊档,虽然我还是最喜欢玉珍斋。
4、在老街周围零星散布着各个小型的景点,既然到了这看似与世无争的地方,就抛开城市喧嚣和内心浮躁,散散步吧!可以在鹿港/彰化/台中或其他城市的旅游中心拿到,或参照http://047lukang.emmm.tw/map_scenic.php景点地图,像摸乳巷、九曲巷、半边井都值得一探究竟;龙山寺则有着全台最大的八卦藻井;民俗文化馆看看外观也不错。
5、中山路是鹿港最大的马路,其实没什么逛头,令人喜爱的是振味珍包子,不论鲜肉还是面皮都是一流!NT15/个,值得一尝。
ps:沿振味珍右边小巷的指引,走到兴安宫门口,会发现一个极端低调的小摊,摊主婆婆卖的是泰兴梅饼——胡续冬老师鹿港之行,友人千叮万嘱托他买的就是这个。于是我抱着本地人可信度高的想法跟风买,结果这味道..倒也不是不好吃,只是..口味实在小众得很..主要是甘草味实在太纯正..以上纯属吐槽。
3.日月潭:你真的要去日月潭吗?真的要去吗?好吧,如果你一定要去看这个水潭子,那你就接着看吧。不过事先说明哈,这个是我在台湾去过最无聊的地方之一,漫山遍野的大陆游客啊•••林之雁说,这就是传的神乎其神的大陆人心目中大神地位的经典景点•••不过湖水挺干净的•••
• 交通:从台中火车站前面的公交站坐车去埔里,然后在埔里坐车去日月潭;也有直达日月潭的。(有点忘掉了,大家再查证下哈。)
• 行程:之前我们去的时候,有个套票,比较划算,包括了环湖巴士,缆车什么的。所以呢,时间多的话,先坐环湖巴士绕一圈,沿途停靠:水社旅客服务中心、朝雾码头、环湖路口、文武庙、松柏仑步道、大竹湖步道、水蛙头步道、青年活动中心、伊达邵、土亭仔步道、玄奘寺、玄光寺。(每整点之30分由水社旅客服务中心发车至玄光寺,每整点0分由玄光寺发车返回旅客服务中心。 )然后就是从朝雾码头坐船去缆车站,然后坐缆车去九族文化村(做好排队的准备)。所谓九族文化村呢,就是把9个原住民集中在一起建的一个文化村。去吧去吧,如果你都到了日月潭了。。。ps.查好回台中的车程表。中间间隔很久的!
美食:•市区:a.东海大学:东海夜市的莲心冰鸡爪和芋头冰很好吃啊。
b.一中街:有一条街都是卖吃的,推荐打饼铺,北回木瓜牛奶(这才叫木瓜牛奶啊!!),胖子鸡丁(好吃!),小僵尸棺材,丰仁冰(这个我没吃到,郁闷啊),等等。
c:逢甲夜市:我最爱的夜市啊!超多超多吃的,推荐官之林大肠包小肠(逢甲正校门直走第一个路口,不要走错了,排队是必须滴),牛牛小集木瓜牛奶(官之林隔壁),大甲芋头城的芋头冰和素食臭豆腐(我心目中排名前三的美食啊,这家臭豆腐太经典啦!!!问路问路哈!),傻瓜面,日船章鱼小丸子(临走前发现的,一次吃了两份,跟我们这里的小丸子天差地别啊!),月亮虾饼,一家之薯,采唐泡芙,四方烤鸭饼,帝钧胡椒饼,地瓜球。。。真是太多吃的了,所以大家每样少买点,都吃吃看!
Ps:除了加粗的前四样美食,其他都在面向逢甲大学校门右手边一直走的那条街上的哈。
d.台中市区的公益路上有超多特色餐馆的!如果你有时间,一定要去吃啊。高水准!推荐:品田牧场(王品旗下,特色猪排,好吃不贵!),鼎王(火锅,鸭血和豆皮自助,其他点菜,推荐他的酸梅汤),八钱(还是火锅),烤状猿(日式烧烤自助,赞啊!!),西媞牛排(王品旗下的高端牛排)•••这些都很热门的,所以最好提前预约哈!
•日月潭:我们午饭是在缆车站吃的,o(╯□╰)o,所以啦,你懂的•••
特产:•市区:先麦芋头酥(本来带回来送人,结果都自己吃了•••离逢甲蛮近的),
日出大地凤梨酥(好吃啊好吃!在臺中市西區中港路一段382號),太阳
饼(自由路二段23号的蓝底招牌的那家,不要走错了)
•鹿港: 玉珍斋等(如上介绍)
•日月潭:九族文化村里的一些挂饰还蛮可爱的,看个人爱好买啦)
台湾之行就结束啦!然后大家到台中火车站前面的统联客运,坐直达桃园机场的客运,
就一切ok啦。
当当当当!!我终于写完啦!!以上都是本人半年玩乐总结出来的攻略,推荐的都是
比较主流的景点。其实台湾的美当然不止于此啦,还有小琉球,高美湿地,薰衣草森
林,新社农庄,集集小镇等等等等。如果大家有兴趣的话,我再另外写一篇吧。大家
还有什么想知道的,尽管问哈,我会持续添加或修改的!!
最后说一句,台湾真的很美很美,有机会要去,没有机会创造机会也要去啊!!!

林行止
珠寶琳瑯 民膏民脂
一、
終於去了或因私事或因與美國衝突有惡化之象而數度耽擱行期的伊朗,順道遊敍利亞和因「貪玩」陪遊伴再去約旦;這些「文明古國」既有五六千年有「物證」的本土文化,復有千多年前羅馬統治(伊朗還有阿拉伯入侵)遺下的古跡,那些早成斷牆殘垣的神廟宮殿,不少被聯合國列為人類文化遺產,成為最佳的「旅遊景點」,不管太陽多猛溫度多高風沙多大,終日遊人如鯽,是貼切寫實的形容。
雖然行色匆促,由於規劃者花長時間做了大量工夫,行程安排得當,那些「值得參觀」的勝景、古跡,都在旅遊路線之中;古建築不論已成廢墟或仍被刻意保存原貌,俱多姿多采,各具特色,盡顯古羅馬、波斯和阿拉伯人特別是回教徒的智慧,然而,筆者不希望寫如旅遊小冊子般的「景點」介紹,亦不想翻查典籍縷述其疑真疑幻的歷史;對於那些羅馬、波斯和回教風格的文化遺產,除了對少數留下深刻印象的輕寫幾筆,其餘便不逐一描述了。
筆者留下深刻印象的古建築—憑印象而不根據日程—有修建於十六世紀中葉德黑蘭近郊卡山(Kashan)的芬納花園(Bagh-e Fin),為最具波斯風格的園林建築,其噴泉更世界知名;此園本為首相府邸,一八五二年的住客與當朝沙王「意見不合」且「死不悔改」,終被沙王派來的刺客刺斃於浴室之中,點綴着這類歷史事故(歷史上如廁沐浴時被謀殺的名人不在少數,筆者多年前寫「便便系列」時說之頗詳),芬納花園吸引力大增,不在話下。
文化古都伊斯法罕(Esfahan)的三十三孔橋(Soi-se-pul)和哈鳩橋(Khajou),各擅勝場,可以一遊。市內還有旺克阿美尼亞大教堂(Cathedral of Vank)和四十柱殿(The Chehel Sotoun Forty Column Palace),後者因殿前長方形水池旁在二十根松木巨柱的倒影而得名;二十柱倒影成四十柱的景色,並非「十全十美」,亦非旅遊小冊子所寫的「奇觀」,不過,順道一遊還是值得的。
德黑蘭的國家珠寶博物館(State Jewels Museum),據說最多遊客參觀,以展品琳瑯滿目,珠寶之多只能以車量斗載來形容,鑲滿鑽石寶石的皇冠、王座(包括聞名的孔雀王座〔Peacock Throne〕)、權杖及首飾以至鎮館之寶一百八十二卡的「光之海」巨鑽,令人目不暇給、連聲興歎。古代帝皇將相如此搜刮民脂民膏、窮奢極侈,其為人民起義推翻,是古今中外皆然的必然終局。此博物館位於中央銀行地牢,實際上是一大保險庫,由於開放時間有限,雖然保安檢查極之煩人且門券並不廉宜,仍然人山人海,因此並無瀏覽博物館展覽會的閒適。
二、
其他足以展示古(波斯和阿拉伯)人輝煌成就瑰麗璀璨的建築,值得參觀的有位於名城設拉子(Shiraz,這應為民初的譯名,今人的譯法肯定不同)以北七、八十里處在如今已是荒漠中聳立的波斯居魯士大帝(Cyrus the Great,公元前五九九—五三○;在位期為五四九—五三○)的陵墓,其他城堡、清真寺、花園(在阿拉伯世界有天堂的寓意)以至百貨雜陳應有盡有香料氣味瀰漫的市集,都可一遊,以其異國情調,大開眼界。基督徒當然得去「聖城」麥達巴(Madaba)及尼波山(Nebo),前者有興建於拜占廷時期的東正教堂(聖佐治堂),堂前左側的馬賽克(Mosaic)「壁畫」—細工鑲嵌巴勒斯坦多個「聖城」的地圖,製於公元六世紀,為存世最古老的地圖;後者為摩西「升天」(死後由天使帶上天堂因此無墳墓!)之地。上述二地皆在約旦,而約旦還有意大利以外最宏偉在Jerash的古羅馬建築群,由數十巨柱排列成橢圓形的「門廊」,教人歎為觀止。羅馬人征服一地,便以當地人民為奴隸,大興土木、大鑿石山取材,建築巍峨宏偉的城堡教堂宮殿府邸,以彰顯羅馬帝國的大國威風。這些當年是勞民傷財的「形象工程」,如今都成為創滙中心—遊客從四方八面湧入的旅遊景點,當然大出羅馬人意外,是「非預期結果」(unintended consequence)的典型。
還有,約旦的「月谷」(Wadi Rum),更非一去不可,一九六二年的荷里活電影《沙漠梟雄》在此取景,演阿拉伯羅蘭斯(Lawrence of Arabia)的彼德奧圖便在此地騎駱駝奔馳,其壯麗景觀,影迷大多記憶猶新;不過,「月谷」雖大,其像月球表面的逼真性,卻遠遜智利沙漠地帶的「月谷」(Valle de la luna),在此荒涼無人煙的「月谷」,遊人有在月球上步行的感覺,以地面的沙紋及沙丘頗似想像中(或電視所見)的月球表層。約旦的勝在褚紅大漠一望無涯,丘陵起伏有致之外,輕風拂起細沙有如薄紗,尤為壯麗,還有山形狀似七瓣柚子直豎的蘭姆山(Rum),此地因阿拉伯羅蘭斯而出名,是旅客必遊的景點,而七瓣山被羅蘭斯稱為「智慧七柱」(他的傳世自傳式巨構便以之為名《Seven Pillars of Wisdom: A Triumph》;大約一年前本報副刊「阿麥太功課簿」對此書的評語是:「文采如其人,精悍而沉鬱,銳利而不失幽默,就如一位牛津的老學究」),這齣電影和這本書大大提高其知名度,此地雖遠離塵囂且酷熱難耐,亦見遊人穿梭不息。

還有,約旦的「月谷」(Wadi Rum),更非一去不可,一九六二年的荷里活電影《沙漠梟雄》在此取景,演阿拉伯羅蘭斯(Lawrence of Arabia)的彼德奧圖便在此地騎駱駝奔馳,其壯麗景觀,影迷大多記憶猶新;不過,「月谷」雖大,其像月球表面的逼真性,卻遠遜智利沙漠地帶的「月谷」(Valle de la luna),在此荒涼無人煙的「月谷」,遊人有在月球上步行的感覺,以地面的沙紋及沙丘頗似想像中(或電視所見)的月球表層。約旦的勝在褚紅大漠一望無涯,丘陵起伏有致之外,輕風拂起細沙有如薄紗,尤為壯麗,還有山形狀似七瓣柚子直豎的蘭姆山(Rum),此地因阿拉伯羅蘭斯而出名,是旅客必遊的景點,而七瓣山被羅蘭斯稱為「智慧七柱」(他的傳世自傳式巨構便以之為名《Seven Pillars of Wisdom: A Triumph》;大約一年前本報副刊「阿麥太功課簿」對此書的評語是:「文采如其人,精悍而沉鬱,銳利而不失幽默,就如一位牛津的老學究」),這齣電影和這本書大大提高其知名度,此地雖遠離塵囂且酷熱難耐,亦見遊人穿梭不息。
