点评:The trip to Malinghe Scenic Area (马岭河峡谷) was initially not listed in my travel itinerary. I saw there is a public bus no. 301 at the bus terminal near my hotel and decided to visit this attraction. The bus fare is only RMB 3, but the bus journey took almost an hour. Nevertheless, I think this is a worthwhile trip.
The admission ticket is RMB35 per pax. The air is very refreshing here and the exploring route is like a U-shape. The entire exploration took more than 3 hours. If you want thrilling rafting and canyon exploration, Malinghe is ideal; if you want iconic scenery and sheer waterfall power, Huangguoshu Waterfall (黄果树瀑布) is unmatched. Seniors aged 65 and above are not allowed to take part in rafting or adventurous bungee activities and as such, we just hike around the canyon.
We did not pay for the lift elevator to descend to the canyon or ascend on our return. It costs about RMB 40 for both ways. One way is RMB 30. You would marvel at nature artistry as you climb up and down the stairs. At the end of the trek, my wife was happy with a cup of American coffee from a kiosk near the exit.
The place is not crowded and is very nature immersive. As you stroll along, you could listen to thunderous fall of the waterfall, the whispering of the streams and the chirping of the birds. It is very therapeutic to the mind.
翻译:马岭河峡谷之旅最初并不在我的旅行计划中。我看到酒店附近的汽车站有301路公交车,便决定去看看。车费只要3元人民币,但车程将近一个小时。不过,我觉得这趟旅行很值得。
门票每人35元人民币。这里的空气非常清新,游览路线呈U字形。整个游览过程花了三个多小时。如果你想体验刺激的漂流和峡谷探险,马岭河峡谷是理想之选;如果你想欣赏标志性的风景和壮观的瀑布,黄果树瀑布则是无可比拟的。65岁及以上的老人不能参加漂流或蹦极等冒险活动,所以我们只是在峡谷里徒步游览。
我们没有购买下到峡谷或返回时乘坐的电梯。往返大约需要40元人民币,单程30元。沿着台阶上下,你会惊叹于大自然的鬼斧神工。徒步结束后,我的妻子在出口附近的咖啡亭买了一杯美式咖啡,非常满足。
这里人不多,让人完全沉浸在大自然的怀抱中。漫步其间,你可以聆听瀑布的轰鸣、溪流的潺潺和鸟儿的鸣叫,令人心旷神怡。
