Merlion Park – Singapore

I am sharing about the best destination in Singapore today. I’m going to introduce about Merlion Park Singapore. It is the most popular tourist attractions in Singapore.

The Merlion Park in Singapore which is only sprays water, should be the most iconic and iconic landmark in Singapore!  As long as tourists who come to Singapore to travel, they will definitely come to take pictures with the Merlion. In addition to recording the Merlion himself, this article also sorted out several popular Singapore attractions around Merlion Park.  , You can arrange to play on the same day when planning your trip.


General introduction

Merlion Park is the must-see attraction in Singapore. It is a famous landmark and symbol of Singapore. This mascot represents the Lion City of Singapore and it is erected on the banks of the Singapore River. Tourists will never forget to leave a photo in front of the Merlion. Memorial photo! In addition to admiring the Merlion during the day, there are also beautiful light shows projected on the Merlion Park at night and the night area is even more charming. Be sure to come and enjoy the night view. Should not be missed!

Merlion Park is the smallest park in Singapore and it is located next to the Fulton Hotel, covering 0.25 hectares of ground, with an open deck, so that visitors can walk in front of the Merlion and take as many pictures as they want.  Merlion is a fictional lion head animal. It was designed in 1964 by Mr. Fraser Brunner, then director of the Van Kleef Aquarium. It was adopted by the New Brigade as a symbol two years later and was used until 1997. During this period, the Merlion has become a representative of Singapore, like the Eiffel Tower in France or the Statue of Liberty in the United States.

The fish tail as a city identification of Singapore, representing excellent character such as courage, wisdom, strength, and fish tail lion also symbolizes the hardcoming of the first batch of the ancestors of fighting. The most well-known fishhouses are located in the East Bay of Singapore, which is a preferred attraction of Singapore’s historical culture.

The image of the merlion lion head fish body originated from the title of Singapore in Malay. In Malay, Singapore is called “Singapura”, the meaning of the word is “lion”, which is why Singapore. There is no lion but it is the reason for being a lion city.

This is the another Merlion in Sentosa 😍I will share more about the Sentosa Island on the new blog topic later.

There are 7 merlion statues in Singapore, distributed at the Singapore Tourism Board, Sentosa Island, Mount Faber and Hongmao Bridge, but the most well-known and not to be missed is the Merlion Park near Marina Bay. The Merlion statue in the Merlion Park near Marina Bay is 8.8 meters high and weighs 70 tons. It faces the Eastern Marina Bay and overlooks the Eastern waters of Singapore, symbolizing the spirit of Singaporeans’ continuous exploration. Next to this statue, there is also a small merlion statue, two meters high and 3 tons in weight, which is also a favorite photo place for tourists like me.

Merlion Park and Singapore’s other landmark, Marina Bay Sands, are across the bay and near Raffles MRT Station. The transportation is very very convenient in Singapore.

Singapore’s Merlion Park is directly opposite the world-famous Sands Hotel. The wavy Sands Hotel Casino and Shopping Mall. The Sands Hotel’s water dance show is held on the opposite platform. As one of the most complicated buildings in history, many of them have been completed. The world’s highest record adds legend. The hotel’s most topical top floor, the huge sky garden is equal to 3 football fields. I hope that I can soak in the highest infinity pool in the world and look out at the Merlion next time! There are 21 museums in the museum. There are so many museums in Singapore.

The coconut shell is the Museum of Art and Science. It can only be said that Singapore is worth seeing only in architecture. Moving towards the Merlion Park, the left-hand building is the Binhai Art Center, and the appearance of aluminum sunshades is like a durian. This art center cost 600 million Singapore dollars to build. The inside concert hall and theater are built on a world-class scale. There is also a coastal performing arts library and outdoor performance venue. I really want to go inside and see it next time!

On the top is the Singapore Flyer, a ferris wheel with a diameter of 150 meters. It takes half an hour to make a lap, and the shopping mall below is 165 meters. It is the largest ferris wheel in the world! Rare, but a viewing cabin can accommodate 28 people. There is a gimmick. In addition, you can take a ferris wheel to enjoy a big meal. The romantic price is $328.9 SGD (surprised).

Entertainment at Merlion Park

The fishwish park covers an area of 0.25 hectares, the area is not large, but as a Singapore landmark, a batch of tourists are still attracted to this visit. Next to the statue of fish tail, build a look at the public and tourists. If you don’t hurry, sit on the table to blow the sea breeze, enjoy the graceful scenery of the Singapore Bay, is really comfortable. If you arrive in the Tail Lion Park, it is already in the evening. It may wish to stay slightly, to be dark, the opposite Bay Bay Golden Salagia gives a beautiful light, overlooking the charming night of Singapore. If you are lucky, you can catch up with the citizens who hold music performances or organize events in the Fishwish Park, and feel the customs of the “Lion City”. I remember that when I took a photo with the fish tail, I took a photo of the fish tail lion spurting the water column, which is said to get strength and wealth.

Things to do near Merlion Park

Merlion is located in the Marina Bay area, surrounded by a wealth of attractions, such as the Marina Bay Sands Resort across the bay from the Merlion, with the Marina Bay Gardens, high-altitude observation deck, Art Science Museum and Marina Bay Sands, Waiting for famous attractions in Singapore.

The Sands Hotel deserved to cost US $ 5.5 billion to build. The vast interior of the building is also impressive. Combining hotels, shopping malls, casinos and theaters, many international brands can buy soft hands and spend a few days eating, drinking and having fun inside.  Certainly not boring.

Next to the Marina Bay Sands Hotel, there are also the newly completed Red Dot Design Museum, the Double Helix Bridge, and the Marina Walk.

If you go further, you can reach most of the attractions within 8 stops by subway. Places such as Chinatown, Little India, Orchard Road, Singapore National Museum, etc. that you must visit are all within a four kilometer radius of Merlion Park.

阿拉倫植物園 (Araluen Botanic Park)

由於 COVID-19 這個病毒而造成的旅行限制是可以理解的。 您仍然可以開始為將來的旅行計劃做計劃。 您打算將來訪問澳大利亞嗎? 還是您想從澳大利亞某個地方去珀斯旅遊? 我正在分享最佳景點之一和美麗的花園,您會很喜歡它,它的名字叫阿拉倫植物園

首先,阿拉倫植物園可以是花園或公園。 沒什麼大不同哒。


阿拉倫植物園概述

阿拉倫植物園(Araluen Botanic Park)是一個非凡的花園,坐落在令人嘆為觀止的美麗灌木叢中。 漫步在遍布巨大石柱和蔭涼涼棚涼棚的露台上的石頭小徑上。 查看位於每個花園區的大約 1930 年的小木屋,並在指示牌上了解珀斯的遺產和歷史。 該開發花園位於澳大利亞本土灌木叢內 59 公頃內,佔地 14 公頃,分佈於各個地區。 每個區都有各種外來植物物種,它們在勞力士珀斯山丘陵涼爽的微氣候中繁盛。 作為每年春季舉行的年度鬱金香節而聞名,在那裡,超過 100,000 個鬱金香鱗莖為成千上萬的遊客聚集了最壯觀的表演,他們蜂擁一瞥,並在彩色背景下捕捉 “最佳” 自拍照。

關於阿拉倫的一些令人興奮但鮮為人知的事實是,公園擁有令人難以置信的令人印象深刻的國際認可的茶花收藏。 西澳大利亞州最大的玫瑰收藏品,包含大約 1800 年代的原始遺產玫瑰品種。 最好在春末至夏末觀看。 當我們進入秋天的幾個月時,茶玫瑰和許多其他瑰麗的花朵盛開,這是享受茶玫瑰種類繁多的最佳時機。 斯汀頓溪(Stinton Creek)一年四季都在公園內流動,北至南流,最後流入坎寧大壩。 這是參觀阿拉魯恩植物園的真正特徵,並且從各種步行橋上可以找到許多攝影機會。

總體而言,公園在桉樹,馬里和黑樹的起伏波動的自然背景中繁茂,在花開的花叢中藏有山龍眼,草木和人蕨,這是一種感官體驗。

阿拉倫(Araluen)開花什麼?
公園和花園 (植物區系)

阿拉倫(Araluen)是享譽國際的花園,其中包括茶花和玫瑰等特定物種。  2012年,國際茶花協會(ICS)在其 “茶花卓越花園” 計劃下認可了阿拉倫。 同樣,阿拉倫(Araluen)的《茶玫瑰》(Tea Roses)也受到備受推崇的美國《羅莎·蒙迪(Rosa Mundi)》雜誌的好評。  2008 年春夏版本將阿拉倫稱為“……世界上最好的茶玫瑰收藏之一……”

自 1990 年以來,阿拉倫植物園基金會(Araluen Botanic Park Foundation)一直照料樹木,清除了入侵性物種,例如黑色和銀色的荊棘,紫藤,並不斷根除和控制黑莓,新娘和澳大利亞的蔓草。

阿拉倫繼續每年種植涼爽的氣候樹木和植物,以擴大不尋常樹木的多樣性,供遊客體驗。

阿拉倫的秋天榮耀

阿拉倫植物園的秋色是公園的另一個重要景點。 在公園的庇護環境中,可以種植許多落葉樹和灌木,這些灌木和灌木會在涼爽的氣候下產生典型的花園秋色。

落葉喬木和灌木通過在秋天脫落葉子(稱為 “脫落”)來保護自己免受寒冷侵害。 在秋天開始的三月和四月,黑暗的長度增加後,這些植物便開始從葉中撤出所有對未來生長必不可少的營養素,糖和其他植物化學物質。 它們被保存並存儲在植物的根部和木質部分中,以在春季使用,因為這些植物中的許多在開花後才開花。 並非所有的顏料都可以從葉片結構中抽出,剩餘的顏料可能會使某些葉片在最終掉落之前顯示出鮮豔的色彩。 並非所有的落葉樹都具有這些顏色。 有些只是掉下來之前變成棕色。 其他人可能會變成紅色,紫色以及許多黃色,金色和橙色陰影。

您可能還會注意到某些玫瑰花上有彩色的臀部,儘管只有少數玫瑰花會在葉子上產生秋天的顏色。

樹木什麼時候變色呢?遺傳學在葉片落下的時機和季節早期至晚期的物種序列中起著重要作用。 一些人在4月初丟掉了葉子,而另一些人則在5月下旬甚至6月上色之前握著綠色的葉子。

那天氣如何呢?天氣會影響顯示的強度和持續時間。 天氣乾燥乾燥,夜晚寒冷和白天涼爽時,會產生最佳色彩。 公園裡的溫度,尤其是晚上和清晨,足夠冷,可以觸髮色彩形成。 但是,在大風潮濕的天氣中,通常在樹木顯色或保留之前就將葉子從樹木上吹下來。 因此,根據雨季的不同,季節中的顏色可能會有所不同,並且某些年份的顯示效果可能會更好。

請記住,這是最有可能使樹木著色的一般指示,而不是強度或時間的保證。下面僅列出了主要樹木,但其他許多樹木和灌木可能會根據天氣顯示各種顏色。

玫瑰在阿拉倫

阿拉倫(Araluen)有各種各樣的玫瑰。 玫瑰種植在澳大利亞叢林地中,生長在 jarrah,marri 和草木等本地植被中,而不是作為正式的玫瑰園。 這是它如此獨特的原因之一。

在 2000 年種植了許多玫瑰。這些玫瑰現已成熟,並提供了壯觀的展示,特別是在 10 月下旬和 11 月初。  Araluen Rose 花園以其世界一流的Tea Rose 系列而聞名,其中包括 Alister Clark 玫瑰的大量收藏以及許多春季開花品種。

在 1930 年代,瑪格麗特·西蒙斯(Margaret Simons)紀念涼亭上種了玫瑰花,並在附近建立了當時流行的現代玫瑰花床。 在 1990 年代,對這些玫瑰花園進行了翻新,並建立了新的玫瑰花園。

整個公園都有玫瑰! 現在,整個公園都發現了玫瑰。 在 “遺忘之墓” 附近,擺放著一張 1930 年原始玫瑰花床,並配以 Iceberg,Gruss aachen 和 Rugosas 床。

在 Round House 附近,Felicias 和 Seafoam 的玫瑰看起來很壯觀。 在木屋希利(Chalet Healy)咖啡館旁,大衛·奧斯丁玫瑰(David Austin Roses)的床鋪以及許多著名的古老傳統玫瑰,在春季處於最佳狀態。 較古老的玫瑰品種 “ R.foetida” 的鮮黃色脫穎而出。 卡贊利克(Kazanlik)(在香水界聞名的玫瑰)也在這裡。 苔蘚玫瑰,其不尋常和芬芳的萼片,增加了人們的興趣。

玫瑰品種呢? 玫瑰花園頂上種類最多。 在這裡,有空間讓植物充分發揮潛力,其中一些已經變成了巨大的開花灌木。 在 1920 年代,著名的澳大利亞念珠手 Alister Clark 開始繁殖玫瑰,這些玫瑰將在我們溫暖的氣候下全年開花。 玫瑰園裡有茶玫瑰的例子,其中許多花都是一年四季開花的,法國起源的 Gallica 玫瑰,錦緞,阿爾巴斯和現代灌木玫瑰。

山茶花在阿拉倫植物園

阿拉倫植物園(Araluen Botanic Park)中有超過 330 種山茶花植物,大約有 230 個不同的品種和種類。 這些數字將被修改,因為最近的購買包括至少 40 個新品種,一旦它們被種植,驗證,編碼和定位,就將添加到記錄中。 該茶花系列被國際茶花協會認可為國際茶花園。

澳大利亞:早期的定居者在定居的早期將山茶花帶到了新南威爾士州,麥克阿瑟家族培育了今天仍在花園中種植的新山茶花。

西澳大利亞州:在西澳大利亞州,早期的先驅者帶來了許多花園和生產性植物,其中至少包括一些在早期房屋和農場周圍種植的山茶花。

澳大利亞山茶花記載到 1936 年,珀斯的紐曼苗圃是第一個出售和繁殖各種山茶花的苗圃。 主人查爾斯·紐曼(Charles A Newman)在公園裡繁殖了許多山茶花,其中有幾朵。

珀斯地區通常地中海氣候嚴酷,夏季炎熱乾燥,風很大。  阿拉倫植物園在達令山脈的避風谷內擁有自己的小氣候。 在山谷的最深處,日出較晚,日落較早,除最強風外,所有風都在灌木叢的頂部偏轉。 冬季,沿著斯坦頓河(Stinton Creek)的北至南山谷的溫度要低幾個攝氏度,包括霜凍,即使在最極端的日子,樹木下的夏季熱量也能提供更多的保護。

有機肥料,專門用於茶花和其他耐酸植物,於三月和十月開花後施用。在整個炎熱乾燥的夏季,所有山茶大多都是由公園水壩的滴頭系統網狀形成的,有時始於 10 月,一直持續到 4 月開始降雨(希望如此)。

茶花僅在必要時修剪,以去除枯死或損壞的樹枝或路徑上的樹枝,因為它們已經種植了足夠的空間來生長和展示花朵,即使數十年後也是如此。茶花一般不會受到病蟲害的嚴重影響,儘管據疫病菌認為,山茶的偶然自發死亡仍然令人擔憂。

最早的花朵在茶花(Camellia sasanqua)品種上,開始於四月,一直持續到六月。 它們與整個公園鮮豔鮮豔的秋葉的展示相吻合。 種植最廣泛的是日本山茶(Camellia japonica)品種,具體取決於品種,可能最早在5月開始,但大部分在6月至9月開花。 較晚的開花品種主要是網紋山茶花 ,最後一朵花通常在十月完成。

公園裡有一個活動,有時包括夏季音樂會,學校放假期間的兒童活動以及每個月的最後一個星期日的公園藝術。 阿拉倫植物園(Araluen Garden)擁有輝煌的歷史。 它由青年澳大利亞聯盟於 1929 年建立,最初用作度假公園,直到今天仍然散發著舊時代的魅力和氛圍。

公園的設施包括小木屋茶室和禮品店。 在冬季,室內將點燃烈火。

觀鳥者

棲息地,阿拉倫(Araluen)的獨特環境提供了適合許多不同鳥類的多種棲息地,從而為它們提供了庇護所,巢穴,多種食物來源和永久水。 有些人是居民,有些人季節性訪問,而另一些人偶爾通過。

棲息地的元素包括:

許多公頃的賈拉-瑪里森林,灌木叢茂密,林木茂密,露頭露頭

斯廷頓溪(Stinton Creek),大部分河岸附近都有茂密的覆蓋物,但有一些更開闊的區域。 水,岩石和永久性水池

花園床,配有各種高度不同的外來和本地植物,夏季成網狀的草坪和水域

不屬於自然灌木叢的捕食者很少

很少使用可能傷害鳥類的農藥

一年中的大部分時間都沒有受到打擾。 總有一個安全的地方。

在阿拉倫哪裡可以看到他們呢? 在整個公園內都可以看到鳥類,但是建議以下特別好的區域以便於觀察:

從木屋出發的輪廓道,穿過玫瑰花園,毗鄰的灌木叢,韋斯特雷克大橋和小河,通常是幾種食蟲鳥

草坪區域及其與 Mary Hargreaves Pergola 相鄰的邊緣-鳥類喜歡安全,陽光充足的開放空間

從入口停車場一直到 Stinton Creek,再經過 Stinton Creek,Roundhouse 然後向上游一直延伸到 Forest View

入場費

這次訪問有入場費,每人僅花費 $ 10 澳元,這是足夠的。 這個阿拉倫植物園比國王公園植物園還大。 您可以在這裡看到比國王公園更多的花園和公園,尤其是五顏六色的花朵部分讓我感到驚訝 😂😃😆

Araluen Botanic Garden

It is understandable of travel restrictions due to the COVID-19. You can still start planning for your future travel plan. Are you intend to visit Australia in the future? Or are you from somewhere in Australia would love to visit Perth? I am sharing one of the best attractions and the beautiful garden that you will love it which is name called Araluen Botanic Garden 🙂

Overview of Araluen

Araluen Botanic Garden is located in the Roleystone Western Australia. Araluen Botanic Garden is a unique attraction hidden in the lush valley of the Darling Range.  The botanical garden has wild and cultivated beauty, and you can come here for leisure activities throughout the year.  Regardless of the season, you can see the babbling stream and green scenery in the Araluen Park. You can have a barbecue picnic here or choose multiple trails to enjoy the fun of hiking.

國王公園的美麗之地 – 珀斯

國王公園觀賞

你喜歡公園嗎? 你對花園感興趣嗎? 我將向您介紹國王公園的目的地。 國王公園位於澳大利亞珀斯,在那裡您可以欣賞美麗的珀斯市,它是西澳大利亞州最好的旅遊景點之一。 它是最大,最美麗的內城公園。 它擁有豐富的原住民和歐洲歷史,當代文化,並提供創新的設計,展示和服務。 國王公園在科學研究,領先的園藝,保護和公共教育方面享有國際聲譽。

國王公園(Kings Park)是壯觀的西澳大利亞州植物園的所在地,該園種有超過 3,000 種該州獨特的植物。  400 公頃公園中有三分之二被保護為灌木叢,為當地生物多樣性提供了避風港。

在這裡,您可以欣賞到天鵝河和坎寧河的一覽無餘的風景,如上圖所示,城市天際線和東邊的達令山脈。 在國王公園(Kings Park)可以找到布什蘭(Bushland)步道,完美的花園和公園以及各種兒童探索遊樂區。 遊客信息中心,每日免費導遊帶步,國王公園畫廊商店,咖啡館和公共交通工具的各個方面都非常方便。

植物園 Botanic Garden

國王公園和植物園慶祝西澳大利亞州獨特而多樣的植物生活,並且是致力於植物保護的全球植物園網絡的一部分。 珀斯公園(後來的國王公園)的最初構想是一個帶有草坪,遮蔭樹木和花壇的歐式花園。 對氣候差異和低養分土壤的認識改變了這一願景。

1965年10月,佔地17公頃的西澳大利亞州植物園開業。 一個不斷變化的,有生命的研究中心,致力於保護西澳大利亞州的植物,並展示一些澳大利亞最多樣化和最壯觀的植物群。

當您訪問國王公園時,國王公園中有一個非常美麗的植物園。 如果您對學習當地的土著植物感興趣,那麼您應該在植物園中漫步。

在植物園中漫步時,您會看到很多這個花園的標誌,以告訴您有關花園名稱的更多詳細信息,例如左側顯示的圖片,即名為Dwellingup mallee 的花園。 您還會看到最高的樹,也叫鮑伯樹。 這很有趣。

當我參觀公園的植物園時,我發現懸鈴木很有趣。 來自公園的導遊之一,與我們分享 Boab 樹的故事。 從2008年7月起,巨人鮑勃(Giant Boab)的故事從華盛頓州金伯利地區的沃蒙(Warmun)到達珀斯國王公園(Kings Park),超過 3200 公里,贏得了全球媒體的報導。

從未有如此成熟的樹木從陸地上經過如此遠的距離。 這棵標誌性樹估計有 750 年曆史,重 36 噸,高 14 米,寬 8 米(分支跨度)。 是樹幹,直徑 2.5 米。

玻璃橋 😀

在玻璃橋的樹梢上散步,他們將其命名為 Lotterywest Federation Walkway,欣賞天鵝河和珀斯市的無與倫比的美景。

從玻璃橋在公園裡的美麗景色

玻璃橋令人印象深刻的工程和建築壯舉,是與景觀緊密結合的雕塑品質,鏽跡斑斑的鋼塔和強大的巨型吊塔形式與周圍的大樹幹具有親和力。

隨著人行道下面的土地開始掉進一個山谷,我的旅程引領我更高,我得到了一個新的視角,豐富了我對大自然的美麗的欣賞。

從鳥瞰圖中,我發現自己在 Zamia Cycads 和巴爾蓋斯或草樹上令人驚嘆,是因為我突然看到了他們徑向對稱的完美模式。 在森林樹冠上,我是一個有 Marri,Karri,Tingle 和 Jarrah 的開花的人,是 Sheoak 的複雜的小錐體和數十隻鳥類。

剛北北部的北圓形圍繞著福雷斯環形交叉路口,玻璃橋始於地面,但我很快就會掃除,因為我接近頂點 – 一個壯觀的拱形橋樑,最大高度為 16米,玻璃牆,距離森林不間斷的景觀 在最高點,花點時間吸收天鵝和坎寧河流的全景。

我還記得我在橋上跳躍,我的朋友尖叫著,因為這座橋在我跳起來非常搖搖晃晃。 在橋上行走是非常好的經驗。 這座橋是一個走往向 DNA 塔樓的人行道。

整個走道長約 620 米,航空部分為 222 米,包括 52 米橋。 雖然有手動移動設備的人可以在拱門上需要幫助,它可以通過輪椅訪問。

人行道上的藝術品包括當地土著人 Nyoongar 的設計。 橫跨伊麗莎·斯卡普山之後,人行道下降到圓形劇場,在國王公園音樂節期間舉行傳統表演。 這個表演區被稱為 Beedawong-Nyoongar 的意思是慶祝或聚會的地方。

通過玻璃橋步行時,您將通過此車道。 這是一個非常美麗的植物環繞,步行到 DNA 塔樓時您會看到水上花園。

脫氧核糖核酸 (DNA) 塔樓

DNA 塔由脫氧核糖核酸(DNA)雙螺旋分子引用,該雙螺旋分子存在於所有細胞中並控制生命的發展。

它是國王公園(Kings Park)的最高觀賞點,在整個攀登過程中均享有壯觀的景色。 在晴朗的日子裡,您甚至可以看到印度洋。  DNA 塔樓讓您從頂部俯瞰這座美麗的珀斯城市。 從頂部可以看到兩條河流,分別是天鵝河和坎寧河。 走路很累,但值得一去,因為從塔頂可以看到非常美麗的景色。

DNA 塔樓周圍的鋪路和牆體是用來自西澳大利亞州 11 個城鎮和 80 個郡的石頭建造的。 原始設計在塔樓的底部包括一個淺反射池。  2001 年用Karratha 石材鋪路代替了它,以提高遊客的安全性。

DNA 塔樓位於 Broadwalk Vista 的 Forrest Drive 端。 從酒店可輕鬆步行至 May Drive Parkland 和西澳大利亞州植物園 1.5 公里。

除了在國王公園里要做的事情之外,國王公園還有什麼可以探索和考察的呢? 大多數的遊客到訪的國王公園都是去 DNA 塔樓的所在地,可以欣賞到城市的美麗,玻璃橋,植物園,美術館以及學習當地的土著文化。 當地人通常與家人和朋友一起去國王公園燒烤肉,特別是在周末的時刻。 國王公園還可以為這對夫婦舉辦婚禮活動,例如結婚晚宴。 對夫婦來說,在國王公園拍一些很好的照片是一個很好的背景。

歸根結底,國王公園(Kings Park)也非常適合教育方面的。 一些學校和大學總是帶他們的學生去到國王公園進行實地考察,然後才給他們做一些有趣的活動。

如果您去國王公園,我強烈建議您去看看。 它是珀斯澳大利亞的頂級目的地之一。

請繼續關注我的下一個博客 🙂

如果您有任何疑問和疑問,請隨時與我聯繫。 我會為您提供一些旅行建議。 確保您由於 COVID-19 這病毒而現在不在旅途中,但是在此病毒結束後請您訪問。加油 🙂

没有驾照的朋友們,你們可以坐公交車到达目的地。火車和巴士都有到喔! 我當天是坐巴士的,坐巴士會比較慢到,不過可以看到完美的风景。巴士去只需4個小時到达班伯利巴士車站,到了班伯利巴士車站之后呢,還要再走一段路,大約走路15分鍾左右到海豚中心。 坐巴士的价格大概 $50 澳元单程票,真的超级貴的,而且坐巴士必要在那边過夜,因為會赶不回去哒。所以我建议租車或者跟团队會比較好一些, 當然坐火車會比較快,但是看不了完美的风景。坐火車到班伯利車站大約2個小時的時间就會到达火車車站啦,下火車之后呢,就會比較麻煩一些,那就是必要坐另外的巴士或者是 uber 去到海豚中心了,因為班伯利的火車站到海豚中心亮点那边满有距离的,驾車還需半個鍾。如果坐火車的話,价格是 $25 澳元单程票价喔!

新的發現中心于2018年12月完成了重建工作, 其中包括200万澳元升级到解釋体验, 扩大了大型和专業主題水族馆的范围, 并對库姆巴纳湾 (Koombana Bay) 环境及其历史–地质、本土、海洋和當代。這是一种身临其境的体验, 有活动中心、互动展示、供餐节目和旅游, 吸引了所有年龄段的人。酒店還设有咖啡厅和纪念品商店。

水族馆講述了該地區从淡水河到近海珊瑚礁的故事, 并以温带的海洋動植物為特色。該中心提供了独特的体验, 使用嵌入式技术和自然展示, 為游客创造難忘的体验, 补充海滩互動區和海豚旅游行程的野生海豚体验。

海豚游泳旅游行程從11月1日开始, 在那里你可以和野生海豚一起游泳。海豚生态邮轮全年运行, 取决于天氣。所有预訂均可在线或通過班伯利游客中心 (Bunbury Visitor Centre) 完成。

在海豚探索中心這里呢,游客可以直接面對這些可愛的海豚,這是澳大利亚唯一提供岸边互動、乘船覌赏海豚和游泳游览的景点,還有一处解説教育中心,在該海豚探索中心海洋生物學家的指导下,游客可以在海豚生長的自然环境中浮潜,与海豚结伴游泳;如果游客更希望待在岸上,则可在指定的互動區等待的海豚來亲吻您; 或者,還可以参加海豚航游,在等待海豚出現時,游客可进入探船上的索室(Discovery Room),深入了解這些迷人的生物和該中心正在进行的研究項目。

与海豚同游的价格满貴的,但是很值得花钱去游玩,要与海豚同游的朋友們,每人只付 $165 澳元,游 3到4 個小時。到了目的地,可以去海豚中心買票,然后坐船直到与海豚游泳的海中洋。不會游泳的朋友們,不推荐喔! 不過可以坐船出海覌海豚,费用另外的,每人 $54 澳元,坐 1個半鍾的船出海覌海豚之旅。

海豚探索中心设有礼品店和咖啡厅,可选擇一個靠窗的座位或户外餐桌,俯瞰海湾美景,覌赏海豚在浅水區里嬉戏玩耍。

其實可以在海豚中心里吃午餐,喝個下午茶也好。他們的煎鱼片薯条很好吃,美味可口呀! 講到流口水了😂

煎鱼片薯条以外,他們也有賣漢堡薯条,沙拉蔬菜,還有很多的西餐等等。他們的咖啡☕超级好喝又满甜的,不喜愛吃甜的朋友們,也可以要求少糖喔! 不用覺得太尴尬又不好意識,工作人員都在那里服务你們喲!

今天就到這里為此,有興趣的朋友們,可以在這里關注我喔! 有什麼問題,可以联系我! 加油😍

BUSSELTON AND MARGARET RIVER

Day trip to Busselton and Margaret river

Have you ever heard the most popular attractions in Western Australia? It is called Busselton and Margaret River. Are you going to plan for a day trip in the future? Are you a wine lover? Are you a chocolate lover? If so, this blog will be for you then. I share about my fun time down there with you. Also, i will talk about the best destination between busselton and margaret river. I will also telling you where to get for a lunch break while visiting.

While heading down to Margaret river, the tour operator will definitely drop by Busselton as well which is included in your fare. Busselton Jetty is the only popular attractions in Busselton. It takes about 2 hour and 18 minutes without break to get to the Busselton from Perth City by car or group tours.

Welcome to the TravelQueen travel blog about Busselton Jetty 🙂

Busselton Jetty

About the Jetty

At 1841 metres, the Busselton Jetty offers an unprescedented opportunity to walk almost two kilometers out into Geographe Bay. The Busselton Jetty also has an underwater observatory which was built to take you beneath the waves of Geographe Bay.

This is the train which you can catch to the end

The Jetty is 1.8 kilometers long which is quite a distance to stretch out into the blue waters of Geographe Bay. But you could choose to take train all the way to the end or you can walk if you want to. For me, i was decided to experience both so i did catch the train down and walk when i return to the main entrance.

If you catch the train, you will experience a fun way of making the journey. Children and adults love the sight of the small red train, perfectly sized to take passengers back and forth the length of the pier. A memorable 1.7km trainride with an unbelievable view of Geographe Bay. This is a popular activity for summer season so book your tickets beforehand. The Jetty train ticket is cost $14 per person with return ticket. There is family ticket cost $38 which is worth than single ticket as well as kid ticket cost $8.50 per child.

By the way, there is a cost for entry the Jetty. It is cost $4 per person and it is a day pass. Children under 16 years old are free of charge.

If you choose to walk, this is how it looked like

The Jetty is open from 8:30am to 6pm, and walking the Jetty takes approximately 25 minutes, each way. You can purchase tickets at the Interpretive Centre window at the start of the Jetty.  It is a lovely walk out into Geographe Bay along the Jetty. Local fishermen and women are fishing the jetty all throughout the day, and the fresh ocean air makes the walk all the more enjoyable.

If you are walking down to the end, you will see this beautiful bay and lot of people are fishing around the bay and some people love to swim in the bay which is very interesting.

After you walk till the end of the road, you will see the underwater observatory. Regarding to the photos shown above, it is the sign telling you that you are out of the sea which is pretty cool and you have been walk for 1841km. It is kinda a sea direction of telling you which way to go if you are heading to other side of the city.

It is very freezing down there so please ensure you bring your jacket.

Underwater Observation is a very good experience too. It shows you what is under the sea as well as to explain the different type of the fish. This observatory only accommodate maximum 44 people per tour. Underwater tour is cost $34 per adult and $99 per family pass. If there is an extra children, it would be cost $20 per child. However, it is free ticket for 2 years old and below child.

Underwater Observatory tour starts with a relaxing train ride on the Stocker Preston Express along the length of the Jetty with 360-degree views across the Indian Ocean. One of the friendly tour guides will greet you at the end of the Jetty to guide you through the Underwater Observatory. As you descend 8-metres below the ocean’s surface you will be lead through the natural wonders that lie beneath the Jetty where its piles create Australia’s greatest artificial reef host to an awe-inspiring forest of vividly-coloured tropical and sub-tropical corals, sponges, fish and invertebrates.

Discover more than 300 individual marine species in their natural habitat through eleven viewing windows at various levels within the 9.5 metre diameter observation chamber. 

Let’s talk about Margaret River 🙂

Beautiful Margaret River. Opposite of this river have a restaurant

Where to get some lunch break?

Our lunch

Most of the people will having fish and chips for their lunch down in Margaret river. The best place for lunch in Margeret river region areas is Margaret river restaurants. The following picture which i took at the riverside, it is called Margaret River. Opposite of this river is a restaurant where tourist always having their lunch. I had a wonderful lunch which is bacon with pancake and chicken wings. Their most popular dishes are in the picture shown above as well as the beef burger with chips.

Margaret River

Margaret river is one of the regional state in Western Australia. It is located at the south west of Western Australia. It takes about half an hour drive from Busselton to Margaret river. The most popular destination in Margaret river are the winery, the lighthouse and the chocolate factory.

Margaret River’s coast to the west of the town is a renowned surfing location, with worldwide fame for its surf breaks including, but not limited to, Main Break, The Box, and Rivadog.

The surrounding area is the Margaret River Wine Region and is known for its wine production and tourism, attracting an estimated 500,000 visitors annually. In an earlier days, the area was better known for hardwood timber and agriculture production.

Are you a wine lover? Robert Oatley Winery store is located at the Wilyabrup Margaret river in Western Australia and it is the very best place in the heart of Margaret river as well as they provide their very best quality of Winery in Australia. They do running through their wine production where they give everyone to have a taste of their winery product before making decision to buy them.

These are the 5 best winery for you to have a taste

According to the picture shown above, it is the Robert Oatley Tasting Story. These are the 5 wine they offer for a tasting. I have tried them and i do love the red wine and the dessert wine. They are winemakers which is pretty good and i love them so much. Most of the tourist buy for red wine and dessert wine.

Chocolate Factory in Margaret River

Are you a Chocolate lover? Free Chocolate yay 😉

One of the destination in Margaret River which you shouldn’t miss it is called Margaret River Chocolate Factory. It is about 5 to 10 minutes drive to get there from the winery stores. One thing i love about chocolate factory is FREE CHOCOLATE and it is affordable chocolates. You will experience with different type of chocolate by tasting the free chocolate before you make your decision to buy them.

Margaret river chocolate factory is opening from 9am to 5pm daily. Their chocolate pretty much as same as the chocolate factory in the Swan Valley Perth.

Ice-cream 😉

Whenever i go to the chocolate factory, my first priority is always to taste the free chocolate. After that, i would buy the mint choc ice-cream. Mint choc ice-cream is one of my favourite ice-cream and it is very tasty.

How to get there?

Do you ever thinking of how to get to the Busselton and MARGERET river? Well, this is depend on whether you are tourists or students or locals. This is also depend on whether yohh drive or not and whether you are willing to drive all the way down. Some people may feel tired to drive that long. Most of the people hire a car to drive there as the petrol is much cheaper than with the group tours. In my personal experience, if you are a tourist, it is good to go with the tour operator as they will share the history of the tourism marketplace, the history of the destination, they will taking you to the very best place for a view that you never expected or heard of it. If you are thinking to go with the tour operator, I would recommended you to book with Adam tour company. Adam is a tourism company which is very affordable and they are very friendly and experience in local tourism.

If you are based in Perth Australia such as exchange students, international students and local people, you could catch the south west coach line buses down to Busselton or Margaret River. On the another option, you could catch the Transwa train line to get to the destination. Train is much cheaper that buses and it is quicker to reach your destination. Buses is very costly but it is worth it as you could see the beautiful way while you are traveling down.

Ultimately, I do highly recommended you to visit all of the best destination shared above. You will enjoy it just like I do. You should try one day 😉 #Vacation #Dream

How to get to the Hotel? – Transportation

Photo taken from Taoyuan International Airport

Well, this would be depend on where are you coming down from. Some people arrive in Kaohsiung and depart from Taipei and some people after arrive Taipei, they go to Kaohsiung first then come back to Taipei for few days then return flight back home.

If you are arrive in TaoYuan International Airport, you can catch the buses shown in my photo above which is called Kuo-Kuang Bus. This bus is terminate in the Taipei Main Station but if you are going to this Yomi Hotel, you need to get off at the Guo-Bing hotel stop. It is just 3 minutes walk from the Guo-Bing stop to the Yomi hotel.

But if you are coming down from the South Taiwan such as Kaohsiung, you need to catch the high speed train to get to the Taipei Main Station, then catch the MRT to ShuangLian Station.

From MRT Shuanglian Station to the Hotel would be at Exit 1 take a right turn approximately 4 minute walk.

Please Note:

  • Taipei Main Station to Hotel is 5~8 minutes by taxi.
  • Taipei Songshan Airport to Hotel will take approximately 10 minutes by taxi.
  • Taoyuan International Airport to Hotel would take the 1819 Kuo-Kuang Motor Transport or 1961 CitiAir Bus. The ride takes about 40 minutes. Bus stops at (Ambassador Hotel) approximately 3 minute walk.
  • Hotel to World Trade Exhibition Center in Xinyi District or Nankang Exhibition Center would be approximately 25~30 minutes by taxi.

Best travel attractions which is called Cijin Island kaohsiung must visit

Cijin Island is a very small island in Kaohsiung Taiwan. Kaohsiung is belong to the Southern area in Taiwan. It is just 15 minutes ferry ride outside the famous Kaohsiung Harbour to the Cijin Island. Although it is a very small Island, this island has become a favorited destination for those people whoever had visiting the city. The island is famous not just only for historical and cultural sites, but also for the fresh seafood around the night market. It really is perfect for any type of travelers; no matter if you are visiting for a hiking trip, sightseeing, cycling, photography etc. Cijin Island has something special for everyone.

Cijin Island is one of those destinations that always has visitors and it is the best tourists attractions in Taiwan, it is because there is so much trip to do in the island. Those who love a good hike usually make their way to the famous Cijin Lighthouse that is located on top of the hills. The hike is not difficult and it is easy to navigate around the trails, so it is very suitable for many people. Cycling around the island is also a preferred activity in Cijin Island; some of the best places that can be explored include the Cijin Windpower Park and the Cijin Seashore Park. Exploring an island is not completely without a dip in the water, and because the water in Cijin is quite warm, many love to relax while soaking their feet or taking a swim by the beach. Lastly, it is also important to try some seafood in the port area of Cijin since it is known to be very fresh.

Which Month and what season of the year will be the best for visit

There is four seasons in Taiwan. They are Winter, Autumn, Spring and Summer. Taiwan season is totally opposite with Australia seasons. For example, When Australia is on Winter, Taiwan is on the Summer season. Many people are wondering that which season would be the best visit Cijin Island. In my personal experience, the best time to visit Cijin Island would be between September and February of the years. That would be when the summer about to end. It is because Summer is the season of raining which is not able to explore much on the island while raining so it is very best to visit between September and February which was Autumn, Winter and Spring season. I am not recommended to visit between June and August as the weather is too heat with raining. You may wondering that why Winter would be good to visit. Well, Kaohsiung won’t be freezing during the winter. It is totally different with Taipei City.

Please note that during the summer seasons, the ocean wave is pretty strong due to the weather

Introduction of the Cijin Lighthouse

Lighthouse

According to the photo taken above, it is taken from the Lighthouse in the Cijin Island. Aside from the scenery, Cijin is also famous for its historical sites, including the Cijin Lighthouse and the Cijin Fort. In 1883, British engineers built the Cijin Lighthouse, which was used for the military during their conflicts with France. The lighthouse went through several reconstructions during the Japanese colonisation, and it is now open to the public. The Cijin Fort is also a historical site in the island that must be on the itinerary. The fort was originally built in 1720 and has witnessed quite a lot during its time. Since it was destroyed in the war, the fort was reconstructed in 1991 and is now one of the most famous attractions in Cijin Island that offers a magnificent 360 view.

The History of Dr. James Laidlaw Maxwell Monument in the Cijin

Basically James Laidlaw Maxwell Senior Chinese name called 馬雅各 and he was born on 18 March 1836 in Scotland. March 1921 was the first Presbyterian Missionary to Formosa (Qing-era Taiwan). He served with the English Presbyterian Mission.

Maxwell studied medicine at the University of Edinburgh and completed his degree in year 1858 with a graduation thesis of The Chemistry and Physiology of the Spleen. He worked in London at Brompton Hospital and at the Birmingham General Hospital. He was an elder in the Broad Street Presbyterian Church before being sent to Taiwan by the Presbyterian Church of England (now within the United Reformed Church) in 1864. He donated a small printing press to the church which was later used to print the Taiwan Church News.

On 16 June 1865, at the urging of missionaries H.L. Mackenzie and Carstairs Douglas, he established the first Presbyterian church in Taiwan, this date now celebrated by the Presbyterian Church in Taiwan as its anniversary. First of his mission centred in the then-capital Taiwan Fu (now Tainan city); in 1868 he moved near Cijin and now part of Kaohsiung where his work place, both medical and missionary, became more welcomed. In early 1872 he advised Canadian Presbyterian missionary pioneer George Leslie Mackay to start his work in northern Taiwan, near Tamsui.

He married with Mary Anne Goodall who died on January 1918 of Handsworth on 7 April 1868 in HongKong. They had two sons, John Preston and James Laidlaw Jnr, both of whom later also became medical missionaries. He retired in London in 1885 where he formed and became the first secretary of the Medical Missionary Association. He and his sons oversaw the construction of Sin-Lau Hospital in Tainan, the first western-style hospital in Taiwan. The younger J. L. Maxwell served in the Tainan hospital from 1900 to 1923, during Taiwan’s Japanese Era.

How to travel down to the Cijin Island

How to travel down to the Cijin Island? Well, this would be depending on where will you be coming down from. Firstly, getting to the Cijin Island from Kaohsiung City is very easy. Just take the MRT orange line and get off at Sizihwan MRT Station. From there, just head to the harbour and take Cijin Ferry; instructions from the MRT station to the harbour are available around the streets and it will take about 10 minutes to get there on foot. The cost to the Cijin Ferry is roughly NT$15 (approximately 0.50 USD) and the journey is around 15 minutes. Travelers can take a bike on the ferry so if you prefer to rent a bike in Sizihwan, so it wouldn’t be an issue.

But if you are drive, you wouldn’t need to worry about the ferry and you can explore much more surround the island by car.

For instances, when traveling to Kaohsiung, do saving a day for Cijin Island is a definitely a no-brainer. This island offers varieties of activities and sights for many types of travelers, starting from hiking, cycling, sightseeing, to eating. How can anyone say not to that? So, if you are planning to travel in Taiwan and looking for something to do in Kaohsiung, be sure to take a day trip to Cijin Island. You won’t feel regret to visit as it is worth of travelling. #vacation #dream #summer #Cijinisland
