点评:If you love plants, nature, or simply enjoy a peaceful stroll, Pamplemousses Botanical Garden is lovely to visit while in Mauritius. It is one of the most beautiful and historically significant botanical gardens in the Southern Hemisphere, filled with extraordinary trees and plants from around the world.
Top tip #1: Hire one of the official guides at the entrance. It was the best decision we made. Without a guide, many of the fascinating stories behind the plants would have been missed. Their knowledge is exceptional, they know exactly where to find the garden’s hidden treasures, and they point out details you would almost certainly walk straight past. It is worth every penny.
Top tip #2: Apply mosquito repellent before you enter the garden. You’ll thank yourself later!
Although London’s Kew Gardens is world-renowned, Pamplemousses has its own unique charm and is home to many remarkable species that are difficult to find elsewhere. We were especially fortunate to visit when the spectacular Mountain Rose was in bloom—a rare sight even according to our guide. Other highlights included the fascinating Buddha Tree, the quirky Cheese Tree, elegant Fish Tail Palms, enormous Elephant Ear plants, and the iconic Giant Victoria Water Lilies, whose enormous floating leaves are one of the garden’s most photographed attractions.
The giant avenue of palms is breathtaking, with towering species collected from different parts of the world, creating an impressive natural cathedral. The garden is also home to giant Aldabra tortoises and a peaceful deer enclosure, making it enjoyable for both adults and children.
Whether you’re a passionate gardener, a keen photographer, or simply looking for a relaxing escape from the beach, Pamplemousses Botanical Garden is a memorable experience. I have given 4 stars because it’s relatively small and we could see everything within 2 hours.
翻译:如果您热爱植物、自然,或者只是喜欢悠闲漫步,那么在毛里求斯期间,庞普勒穆斯植物园 (Pamplemousses Botanical Garden) 绝对是您的理想之选。它是南半球最美丽、最具历史意义的植物园之一,园内汇集了来自世界各地的珍稀树木和植物。
小贴士一:务必在入口处聘请一位官方导游。这是我们做过的最明智的决定。如果没有导游,我们很可能会错过许多植物背后的精彩故事。他们的知识渊博,对植物园的隐秘宝藏了如指掌,还会指出那些您几乎肯定会忽略的细节。绝对物超所值。
小贴士二:进入植物园前涂抹驱蚊剂。您一定会感谢自己的明智之举!
虽然伦敦的邱园 (Kew Gardens) 举世闻名,但庞普勒穆斯植物园也拥有其独特的魅力,园内生长着许多其他地方难得一见的珍稀物种。我们非常幸运地赶上了壮观的山玫瑰盛开的季节——就连我们的导游也说,这可是难得一见的景象。其他亮点包括迷人的佛陀树、造型奇特的奶酪树、优雅的鱼尾棕榈、巨大的象耳芋,以及标志性的巨型维多利亚睡莲,其巨大的漂浮叶片是花园中最受摄影师青睐的景观之一。
棕榈大道气势磅礴,汇集了来自世界各地的高耸棕榈树品种,构成了一座令人印象深刻的天然教堂。花园里还饲养着巨型阿尔达布拉象龟,并设有一个宁静的鹿苑,因此老少皆宜。
无论您是园艺爱好者、摄影爱好者,还是仅仅想远离海滩喧嚣,庞普勒穆斯植物园都将为您带来难忘的体验。我给了四星,因为花园相对较小,我们两个小时就逛完了所有景点。
