点评:What a special church. Not just because it is the largest in the world, but also because it is kind of out-of-place in my opinion.
When you land in Abidjan with the airplane, you get to see a huge commercial capital. But to go to the church, you need to drive 3,5-4 hours to get to Yamoussoukro, which is the political capital of Côte d'Ivoire.
And entering the area where the church is, you see much more basic housing/markets, which drove me to check and find out: Yamoussoukro only has ~270,000 people living there versus Abidjan's ~6,000,000.
Now that's a difference!
Closing the point, the message here is that the church by all means is just so out of place...
In either case, it is worth a visit in my opinion, not just because of its size, but because to a very large degree, it is also beautiful, and joining a tour grants you the possibility to learn a lot of interesting facts about it. Such as - it only took 3 years to build it... but with 1'500 people working on it.
Worth to check out, especially since the sights in Abidjan itself are limited. 5/5
翻译:多么特别的一座教堂!不仅因为它是世界上最大的教堂,而且在我看来,它与周围环境格格不入。
飞机降落在阿比让,映入眼帘的是一座庞大的商业中心。但要去这座教堂,你需要驱车3.5到4个小时才能到达亚穆苏克罗,科特迪瓦的政治中心。
进入教堂所在的区域,你会看到许多简陋的民居和市场,这促使我去查了一下:亚穆苏克罗只有大约27万人口,而阿比让则有大约600万。
这差距可真不小!
总结起来,我想表达的是,这座教堂无论从哪个角度来看都显得格格不入……
无论如何,我认为它值得一游,不仅因为它规模宏大,更因为它本身就非常美丽。参加导览团还能了解到许多关于它的趣闻轶事,例如——它只用了三年时间就建成,但却动用了1500名工人。
非常值得一看,尤其是在阿比让本身景点有限的情况下。5/5
