May 31, 2020May 31, 2020 / travelqueen4ever / Leave a comment

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.

Are you planning to travel to Western Australia soon and in the future? Would you love to meet the animals that you never heard or seen before? Are you a farm lover? Have you heard of Caversham Wildlife Park? It is one of the top tourist attractions in Western Australia.

Today, i am telling you the best wildlife encounter in Western Australia is name called Caversham Wildlife Park. This will be included things to do in the park, what to see, what they have, history and others. Beforehand, i do highly recommended to visit before 3pm so that you will be able to manage your time to meet all of the Australia’s unique native animals. It will take at least 3 hours to explore and discover everything in the Caversham Wildlife Park.

Basic introduction of the attraction

Caversham Wildlife Park is home to about 200 species, and it is more than 2000 head of animals, birds and reptiles. This impressive collection makes the Park be the largest privately owned collection of native wildlife in Western Australia. The park is the premiere development of its kind in Western Australia, attracting visitors from all over the world.

Visitors receive personalized service by wildlife professionals who are dedicated to exceptional service, ensuring their visitors receive the best opportunities for animal interaction, information and photographs.

Meet the Koalas

Caversham Wildlife Park showcases many of Australia’s unique native animals, including koalas, wallabies, possums, Tasmanian devils and wombats. They are providing visitors with the opportunity for a close-up encounter with some Australian icons! Hand-feed their kangaroos, have a photo taken with the koalas, catch a keeper talk and interact in one of two great hands-on shows. These are included in your admission fee.

Before you touch the koalas, you must use the hand sanitizer provided in the Park to clean your hand before touch koalas.

Meet the Wombat and Friends Show

Watch the Meet the Wombat & Friends Show, it is an interactive show on daily basis, where keepers bring out their favourite friends for you to see, touch and learn about. You will meet a hairy nosed wombat and may be just say hello to one of the many friendly birds or take a photo with a reptile!

Farm Show

Be sure to catch the daily Farm Show to get a glimpse of farm life, with whip-cracking, sheep-shearing, billy-swinging and more! Visit Molly’s Farm for an interactive farmyard experience too such as feed the buffalo, llamas, deer and more.

During the Farm Show, they will show you how did they shearing the sheep skin, how lanolin oil was made, how to feed the baby sheep milk, how to make milk from the cow and many other relevant to the Farm. You will find interesting in the farm show just like me.

Feeding the Kangaroos

While i was feeding the kangaroos, i find that it was very fun but sometimes when i was feeding them, they fall asleep and sometimes when I fed them, they were eating and sleeping at the same time. I was thinking that how did they manage to eat and sleep at the same time. Let say if human beings, whenever people seen food is around, people would feel excitement of seeing the food is there and they will get some food to eat so people won’t feel tired and sleepy.

**Baby Kangaroos name called Joeys, baby Koalas also name called Joeys. Joeys is defined as a small animals 🙂**

Kangaroos have 2 type of color. They are white and brown color kangaroos. While feeding the Kangaroos around, you will find some interesting things around such as kangaroos pregnant, having babies, feeding babies, cuddling each other, cuddling their kids while sleeping and other.

What I love the most in the Wildlife Park?

**I definitely love feeding the kangaroos the most as they are very gorgeous and friendly but they are very shy sometimes, not sure it is shy or tired, it was my pressure to feed them 🙂**

Apart from feeding the kangaroos, i love koalas as well. It is reasonable that Koalas are too chubby and I am in love their cute look 😂

How much is the cost of entry?

It will be cost AUD$30 per adult and AUD$23 per students. Students entry ticket is called concessions ticket. You will need to show your student ID upon your visit.

The cost is not that expensive, it is a reasonable price and it is worth to go for explore and discover the wildlife encounter.

Stay tune on my next blog 😉

國王公園的美麗之地 – 珀斯

April 26, 2020April 26, 2020 / travelqueen4ever / Leave a comment

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。

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 🙂

台北象山步道之旅

April 24, 2020 / travelqueen4ever / Leave a comment

您是爬山愛好者嗎？你喜歡爬山嗎？台灣是爬山的最佳國家。爬山是生活中非常好的運動。台灣有許多最佳的遠足景點。其中之一被稱為爬山大象山。這是爬山的最佳目的地。爬山時，您可以從頂部看到台北市中心的美麗景色，這很酷的喔。我將與人類分享這個有趣的時刻。希望你會喜歡喔。有興趣的朋友們，請覌看，也可以關注我喔!

歡迎來到台北象山步道

***這是象山的高度😊 位於逸賢亭象山頂、六角亭旁步道盡頭的平台，視野展望極佳，可以欣賞象山的全貌，尤其是象頭與象鼻頗具傳神。**鼻樑處即為永春高中，長長的象鼻子則是稜線深入松山路與松德院區之間的平台。***

今天要和大家介紹台北一個最好的景點名叫象山步道。來到象山，主要是登山啦! 登上象山之後，如果你的體力充沛，或是想伸展筋骨，步道兩旁還有許多強體力及肺活量的體能設施，只見大夥在山頂的逸賢亭打個尖、做個操，還有精力無窮的小朋友穿梭其間，運動休閒一兼二顧，很適合全家來活動。

象山因外形似象頭而得名，位於台北盆地東南方的信義區，與虎山地質相同主要由砂岩組成，因造山作用步道中可見黃褐色陡峭的岩壁與巨石，加上自然環境生物、鳥類種類繁多，使得整座山如同一座天然生態樂園般，成為民眾接近淺山、享受戶外綠林悠閒時光的好去處。

步道沿線設有解說牌引導民眾參訪，區內各種稜線、岩壁、山坡等不同環境，孕育出多種蕨類植物處處可見，其中又以金狗毛蕨與筆筒樹古老蕨類族群最大，數量居臺北市之冠。

登頂象山眺望，臺北盆地的地景幾乎一覽無遺，其尾稜延伸嵌入信義區中強公園，成為當地居民晨昏散步的最佳去處，也是近山民眾假日休閒、舒緩身心的綠色地帶。

基本上，我是從大安捷運站乘坐紅線到象山捷運站。爬山象山是台灣台北市的頂級旅遊景點之一。它的高度大約 183m，遠足徑長約 1.5km。從小徑可以看到台北101是满享受的。六座巨石是湘山的旅遊勝地。有太多人對此景點一無所知，現在我將給我更多的樂趣。台北市的風景真是恐怖而完美。它是免費的，因此不需要任何費用。

象山遠足徑

象山親山步道近松德院區方向有處名為一線天駐腳點，因兩壁山脊線十分接近，巨崖岩壁突出遮天，山友自步道仰頭望天，只見崖壁縫隙間的天空又窄又細，因而稱為一線天。

象山遠足徑是最痛苦的經歷，但是值得擁有這種經歷。乘坐捷運火車去旅遊非常方便。遠足遠足山的最佳時間是三月至十一月。當遇到雨季或地震季節時，出於安全考慮，請不要跳過此景點。尤其是在下雨季節，樓梯上非常容易打滑，因此下雨時走上山坡非常危險。因此，我聽說周末人滿為患，所以您應該避免在周末訪問這個地方。

六巨石

根據上面顯示的這張照片，我是從山石上拍攝的。這是觀看整個台北的最佳地點。平日總是最適合遠足。

我一個人去那裡，從地鐵站步行了10分鐘，從山頂到山頂也花了30分鐘。有些人可能會感到疲勞，需要在徒步旅行中稍作休息，整個體驗可能需要至少1.5個小時，這取決於當天的忙碌程度以及從底部到頂部的遠足速度。當您在排隊等待完美的拍攝圖像時，有時會花費很長時間。儘管夜間是遊覽的理想之地，但由於夜色非常暗且幾乎看不到，因此夜間徒步旅行並不安全。

您可能會問自己加息有多困難？其實不太難的。就像我上面提到的，從山頂到山頂花了30分鐘，在旅途中我確實休息了很長時間。我建議您帶上水瓶，毛巾和相機，當然這是非常基本的。

象山範圍不大，賞景點卻不少。其中盤踞山頭的「六巨石」是象山的地標景觀，巨石林立、景觀奇特，遊象山不攀上巨石瞧瞧，可就對不起自己了。在頂上觀景滋味不同，迎風四望無際，想拍101，來這裡準沒錯！

至於鳥瞰台北盆地的最佳位置，自然是位於稜線上、視野開闊的「超然亭」；有此「超然」名號，便是因為由此觀景居象山眾涼亭之冠。站立於超然亭的平台上，近可見山下的信義計畫區，放遠望去則是圓山、北投焚化爐、觀音山及大屯火山群各景點，從前國慶日施放煙火，不少人還會特地來此觀賞花火綻放，足見其魅力所在。

繞行到巨石公園階梯附近，有一塊碩大的巨石，上面有人為雕刻出來的石階，可拾級而上眺望台北盆地。一路前行間，由左側山腰、山脊再下到右側山腰線，從不同角度俯瞰台北盆地之美，象山迷人之處盡在其中。

步道沿途都設有解說牌，引導親山訪客認識整個山頭的特色，所以這裡也是最受歡迎的自然教室。一路上不愁沒有生態導覽，只要「按圖索驥」，自己就是山林解說員。

象山擁有稜線、岩壁、山坡、山窪、山谷等各種不同微環境，因而孕育出70多種蕨類。蕨類在象山處處可見，有的附著在樹幹上，有的長在岩石、坡地上，有的密佈在潮濕的林下。其中金狗毛蕨族群龐大，數量居臺北市之冠，在過去醫藥不發達的年代，它可是民間用來止血的最佳良藥。

另外在開闊、向陽且潮濕山窪區，還有自侏儸紀時期就存在的古老蕨類「筆筒樹」。筆筒樹群聚可是台北市區最珍貴的生態特色，因為筆筒樹成群林立的現象，全世界只有台灣北部才能看得到。

潮濕的環境中，蝸牛的族群也十分可觀，像是斯文豪氏大蝸牛、煙管蝸牛，幾乎在整個山區都看得到。這本是低海拔的原始闊葉林，生態豐富多元，綠意萬千的山林，還有更多的驚喜等待你自己慢慢去發掘呢！

第一站是大約10分鐘後的觀景台，然後有各種各樣的巨石供人們四處攀爬以拍攝史詩般的照片。最終，在巨石之上1分鐘是主要的觀景台，每天所有專業攝影師在此觀看比賽！

我聽說人們說如果您有時間可以在日落之前遠足，然後看一下變化是一個很棒的選擇，除了您可以兩次遠足，一次是早晨，一次是晚上。

怎麼去象山遠足徑？

當您聽到 “遠足” 的消息時，您會以為它會整天陪伴您。到達那裡，徒步旅行，尋找山頂等，台北象山不是這種情況！如果您住在城市的其他地方，請搭乘捷運地鐵系統並前往象山，這是紅線上的最後一站。走出2號出口，然後遵循您的 Google 地圖。真的很容易找到，所以應該沒有什麼大問題喲。

總而言之，這是一項了不起的活動，甚至為您的一天增加了一點運動。我在台北象山徒步旅行的時光記憶猶新，希望你們也能在那兒度過愉快的時光，即使天氣有點濕熱，您也不會後悔！不用擔心，說實話這也不算困難。即使您身體狀況不佳，也可以抽出寶貴的時間來欣賞這座城市的美景。請享用！＃假期＃冬季

亚瑟港歷史遺址– 世界遗产名胜

今天要和大家介紹一個塔州著名的景點。來到塔州這里呢，就是要去這個景点叫做亚瑟港歷史遺址体验。亚瑟港歷史遗址是個独特的地方，這里有着引人入胜的生动歷史、文化遗址和栩栩如生的故事讓人流連忘返。它具有极高的國际地位，是澳洲 11 座入选联合國教科文认定的世界文化遗产的囚犯時期遗址之一。它也是澳洲最受歡迎的旅游目的地之一。歡迎大家來到亚瑟港参覌了解這里的居民和其生動的歷史。

**這是景區講解之旅當中照的，他們有*****景區講解**介紹這些港口歷史*****，當然也會學到許多當地文化和歷史，我去的時刻感覺好有趣呀**

亚瑟港歷史遺址是澳大利亚列入世界遗产名单的囚犯遗产名胜，也是澳大利亚保存最為完好的囚犯定居地。

這里還是澳大利亚游客最多、最為重要的文化旅游目的地之一，是前來澳大利亚岛州-塔斯馬尼亚的所有游客的必游之地。

**亚瑟港歷史遺址之旅里會看到很多這些图片，關于以前的人的歷史之一，學习故事好有趣呢**

這些囚犯是什麼人呢？
在美國独立战争之后，英國再也不能将自己的囚犯送到美國。因此，在1788 年以后，這些囚犯被送到了澳大利亚殖民地。

這些男女囚犯被判犯有各种罪行，這些罪行在今天看來微不足道，大多数是偷窃小東西或牲畜，但他們以前曾至少被定罪過一次，英國對待這些重新犯罪者的政策非常嚴厉。

那些被送到范迪門斯地（塔斯馬尼亚的旧称）的囚犯大都是來自农村地區或者大城市贫民窟的贫穷的年輕人。妇女占五分之一。有一些孩子也和父母一起被送到這里，很少有人回到英國。

歷史簡单介紹

在1830年到1877年，亚瑟港是监禁那些來到英属殖民地范迪門斯地（現在称為塔斯馬尼亚）或新南威尔士之後重新犯罪的囚犯的地方。亚瑟港位置偏远，环境恶劣，插翅難逃，是运送累犯的理想目的地，因此而成為殖民地囚犯处罰系统的一個主要组成部分。這在當時是应對當今所有社會不断面临的犯罪和处罰問題的一大创举。

但亚瑟港远不仅仅是一座监狱，而是一個完整的社區 — 這里不但居住着軍事人員以及在這里工作的自由定居者，而且還是生产多种资源和材料的工業中心，并且有一個运营的农場。在使用将要结束時，這里還住着大量患有慢性精神病和身体疾病的人，這些人被称為 “乞丐” 和 “疯子”。

塔州澳大利亚主要的文化遗产旅游景點

今天，亚瑟港歷史遗迹是澳大利亚游客最多的文化遗产景點之一，获得了多項大奖，其中包括在 2008 年、2009 年和 2010 年荣获《澳大利亚美食旅行家杂志》的澳大利亚最佳文化遗产旅游体验的称號。這一遗迹散布在美丽的花園、公園和自然丛林之中，含有三十多個歷史名胜建筑和廢墟。有些建筑物在十九世纪末的丛林火灾中被部分摧毁，剩下的遗迹使該地有一种阴森而又肃穆的氛围。

世界遗产

亚瑟港歷史遗迹是列入澳大利亚囚犯遗迹世界遗产名胜的十一处遗迹之一。

美丽的风景和迷人的传説

漫步在遗迹四周，囚犯、士兵、自由定居者及其家人富有感染力的個人经歷将會展現在你的面前。人們以多种方式講述亚瑟港的故事。在你离開之後，它的故事将久久揮之不去。

這個美丽的地方，位于旖旎的港灣边上，四周丛林环抱，遍布花園、庭園和充满魅力的遗址，自囚犯時期以來，似乎没有什麼改变，即使您不被其歷史所吸引，你也會對這里美丽的景致心醉神迷。

每個人的必游之地

亚瑟港是來到澳大利亚的每位游客的必游之地。歷史遗迹位于塔斯曼半岛的塔斯馬尼亚岛州首府霍巴特東南方向大約 100 公里处。這一遗迹风景旖旎，既有充满魅力的遗址，也有富有感染力的传説，讓游客對澳大利亚的歷史和文化获得独特而又難忘的洞察。

他們有什麼旅游行程?

在您適合的日子和時間裡，他們確實有很多旅行選擇。首先，如果您遇到一些語言障礙問題，請不要擔心。還會有講普通話的人遊覽，這將使您更容易理解。即使沒有說普通話的人，也會為您提供翻譯。他們有介紹性的徒步之旅，指揮官的馬車之旅，海港巡遊，亞瑟港逃生之旅，介紹性之旅，死島之旅，幽靈之旅以及超自然之旅。我將在下面告訴您更多有關價格和套餐的信息，值得擁有這種良好的經驗。

介紹性徒步之旅基於他們的歷史遺跡，他們將向您介紹有關該地點的故事和遺產的更多信息，這非常有趣。他們將告訴您有關歷史時間表，囚犯，地標和阿瑟港歷史遺址的研究。

您所購買的門票在連续的两天内有效，两天内您可以尽情参覌遗址區内古迹建筑以及参与景區提供的导游講解和其他活動，購買門票有包括：

出入30多個歷史建筑、遗址及歷史花園等
参与40分鍾的导游講解（可选中文普通話講解）
乘坐25分鍾港灣游輪
参覌亚瑟港展覽馆，在此您可以通過参与互動游戏、覌看陳列品來了解亚瑟港歷史遗址以及在這里生活過的居民

景區内也提供免费摆渡車，為行動不便的人士提供帮助。（摆渡車服务時间：早 10:30 至下午 3:30。夏季服务時间可能延長）

亞瑟港歷史遺址的故事是許多人，地點和時刻的故事。在其悠久的歷史中，亞瑟港一直是艱辛和懲罰的地方，機會的地方和休閒的地方。現在，它是澳大利亞最重要的遺產目的地之一，那裡的澳大利亞殖民歷史故事是用石頭和磚頭書寫的。

拜訪他們，與經過這個地方的一些人會面，走遍他們的故事，並了解亞瑟港從令人恐懼的定居點到世界遺產名錄古蹟和世界級旅遊勝地的演變。

關於我這次徒步旅行的經歷，我學到了很多東西，例如老一代人以及很久以前人們的生活方式。他們如何定罪的方式以及老式的地方都很有趣。有些人可能會像我一樣覺得歷史很無聊，但是我發現這個歷史站點並不像我想像的那樣糟糕，值得在舊時尚故事中進行更多探索和發現。您會發現有趣的地方，還將學到很多意想不到的新事物，這好酷呀。

當我前往亞瑟港時，我是由 Tassie Tour 運營商前往的。每天都有一些遊覽巴士在那兒下車，您只能預訂。 Tassie 遊的單程費用為每人 $60澳元。在我個人的想法，與教練同行總是最好的選擇，這是因為當他們駕車駛下時，他們會在前往亞瑟港的途中掉下一些最好的景點進行探索。

Lancelin and Pinnacles Tour

February 9, 2020April 9, 2020 / travelqueen4ever / 1 Comment

Briefing about the Lancelin

Lancelin is one of the top tourist attractions in Perth Australia which is worth to go for a visit. Lancelin is a small fishing and tourist town 127 km north of Perth, Western Australia. It is within the Shire of Gingin at the end of Wanneroo Road, and a few kilometres from the start of the Indian Ocean Drive. The best to go in Lancelin would be visit the Sand boarding, Lobster Shack as well as the Pinnacle.

Lancelin has become one of Australia’s premier sandboarding destinations. Featuring pure white sand dunes, over three stories high, with free entry, the Lancelin sand dunes are must on your Western Australian adventure. To hire for the Sandboard, it is cost $12.50 per person.

How do you get to Lancelin sand dunes?

The Lancelin Dunes are only 1.5 hours north of Perth and are an easy day trip. Renting a car and self-driving is definitely an option; park at the entrance to the dunes and walk or take your 4 wheel drive all the way to the main sandboarding hill. However, there is an another option which is book for a day tours just for approximately $169.

Some people asked me that is Sand Boarding dangerous? Well, if you’re going to go for sand boarding in Perth, you need to ensure that you have travel insurance. While we made it home safely from the road sand dunes Perth. It can be very dangerous, with accidents happening quite often. But Perth Australia should be fine, however, travel insurance still be a must to have just incase there is anything happen.

When would be the best season to go for sand boarding

**This is what will happening if you visit the wrong season**

In my personal experience, the best season to go for Sand Boarding would be Autumn and Winter which is between March and August. My first photos shown above is what will happened if you go during Spring and Summer season. The sand will flew into your mouth and eyes which is not comfortable at all so I don’t recommended to visit during the spring and summer season.

Nambung National Park (Pinnacles)

Nambung National Park is a national park in the Wheatbelt region of Western Australia, 200 km northwest of Perth, Australia and 17 km south of the small coastal town of Cervantes. The park contains the Pinnacles Desert which is an area with thousands of limestone formations called pinnacles.

Walk on the moonscape of the Pinnacles, feast on fresh lobster and surf giant sand dunes. Take a day trip from Perth to the other-worldly landscape of the Pinnacles Desert in Nambung National Park. Following the Indian Ocean Drive, stop to meet friendly kangaroos, try sand-boarding and taste Cervantes’ famous seafood delicacy.

If you’re travelling between July and October, you will see Western Australia in full colour, as the coastal landscapes are filled with the blooms of spring wildflowers.

Rising mysteriously from the dune sands are thousands of limestone pillars, up to four metres tall, a landscape in eerie contrast to the surrounding heath.

Some are jagged, sharp-edged columns, rising to a point; others resemble tombstones. What exactly are the pinnacles? What natural processes have created these odd and spectacular structures?

In places, the pinnacles reach up to 3.5m tall. Some are jagged, sharp-edged columns, rising to a point, while others resemble tombstones. Please treat the pinnacles with respect and never climb on these fragile structures.

Features that provide clues to the origin of the Pinnacles can be seen by the astute observer. For example, many pinnacles display cross-bedding structures, where the angle of deposition of the sand changes very abruptly. This indicates that the dunes from which the limestone bed was formed was originally laid down by the wind.

Some pinnacles have a mushroom-like shape, due to remnants of a calcrete capping. The mushroom shape has formed because the capping is harder than the limestone below it and therefore weathers at a slower rate.

So how did these strange pinnacles form? The coast of Western Australia, from Shark Bay nearly to Albany, has a near continuous belt of Tamala Limestone (probably more accurately called) aerolian calcarenite – ie. wind blown calcium carbonate – which has been produced by the combination of wind, rain and the cementing agent of calcium. A set of unique circumstances produced the pinnacles.

Firstly the huge sand dunes stabilised. The rains which fell on the dunes leached down through the sand carrying the calcium. This resulted in the lower levels of the dune solidifying into a soft limestone. As this stabilisation occurred a layer of soil formed on top of the dune which allowed plants to grow and further cemented the limestone below. Gradually the lowest layer of soil, which lay between the surface and the limestone, formed into a hard cap which resulted in the old dunes having three levels – a soil and plant level near the surface, a hard cap below the surface, and a thick layer of soft limestone at the bottom of the dune. Inevitably the roots from the plants on the top level found cracks and broke up the hard cap and the layer of soft limestone. The result was that under a surface covered with plants and soil the pinnacles developed. No one knows for sure how long ago this process occurred. It may have started as long ago as 500 000 years but equally it may only be a few thousand years old and it may still be continuing today. The Western Australian Museum has opted for some time in the last 80 000 years. Anyway the advent of drier weather in the region resulted in the top layer of plants and soil being removed and gradually the pinnacles were exposed so that today they stand like strange sentinels on a plain of wind blown sand.

How much for the entrance ticket?

$13 entry per vehicle. Contact Pinnacles Discovery Centre (08) 96527 913 for more information when needed. Pinnacles Desert Discovery Centre is open daily 9.30am – 4.30pm and well worth a visit and yes, you will discover what is in many of the national parks in our area.

Lobster Shack

Days tour is kinda tiring but it is worth and there have so much fun. Not sure where to have lunch while visiting down Lancelin? Do you love to eat Lobster? Lobster shack had a very good taste Lobster and it is popular Lobster in Western Australia which will be good experience for travellers.

When it comes to experiencing a different way of life, Lobster Shack is here to show it to you in all its natural wonder. All our lives, we have been focused on providing the complete lobster and fishing experience with our tranquil fishing trips, our stunning meals and our sightseeing tours. Located on the lovely beach front of Cervantes, a mere two hours drive up the north coast from Perth and just 17km from the famous Pinnacles National Park, our family owned service will provide you with something that will stay in the memory and last a lifetime.

Such is our commitment to their fishing tours in Perth and their lobster-infused food creations, they were awarded the Bronze medal in the Tourist Attraction and Food Excellence in Food Tourism Award in 2013. Their continual passion and dedication to our services is why you can experience the complete lobster experience – from both their deep sea fishing charters and their cooking pots!

Delicious Meals Right From the Ocean.

From 11am to 3pm, every day of the week, lobster shack is open. Right from the boat of our fishing trips, they provide you with a host of delicious and tasty lobster meals. Made on the spot, they will give your tastebuds a fresh flavour, right from the heart of the sea. It is an outwardly and wholesome encounter.

Ultimately, I do recommended that after Lancelin trip, you can head down to Lobster Shack for lunch then go for the tour. After touring around the Lobster Shack, you then only should head to Pinnacles National Parks to explore. You may wondering how far is Lancelin sand boarding to the Lobster Shack. Well, it is 82.5km which is just take for 51 minutes drive.

Best travel attractions which is called Cijin Island kaohsiung must visit

November 27, 2019April 14, 2020 / travelqueen4ever / Leave a comment

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

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.
