点评:Shanklin Chine is absolutely worth the ticket — and the best part is that it’s valid for several days. It gives you easy access between Old Shanklin and the beach, with plenty to enjoy along the way: cosy pubs, a few lovely restaurants, a nighttime live-music spot, and some genuinely unique, locally-run shops.
The Chine itself is a gorgeous little gorge, beautifully lit after dark. We visited in August and again in October — the Halloween theming was fantastic — and I’d love to see how magical it looks at Christmas. There’s also a welcoming visitor shop at the Shanklin Beach entrance.
But the real treasure here is Charles.
He’s a wonderful live performer with a beautiful voice, singing everything from classics to Motown (my favourite). Sitting in the illuminated gorge, sipping a beer, listening to him sing… it’s pure magic. He’s the heart of the place. And a little tip: Charles only drinks hot chocolate — so be kind and treat the gentleman to one.
Enjoy — it’s a special experience.
翻译:尚克林峡谷 (Shanklin Chine) 的门票绝对物超所值——最棒的是,门票有效期长达数日。它让您轻松往返于老尚克林 (Old Shanklin) 和海滩之间,沿途风光无限:舒适的酒吧、几家精致的餐厅、夜间现场音乐表演场所,以及一些真正独具特色的当地商店。
峡谷本身是一条迷人的小峡谷,夜幕降临后灯光璀璨,美不胜收。我们八月和十月分别到访过——万圣节主题装饰令人惊艳——我非常期待它在圣诞节期间的奇幻景象。尚克林海滩入口处还有一家温馨的游客商店。
但这里真正的宝藏是查尔斯 (Charles)。
他是一位出色的现场表演者,拥有一副天籁之音,演唱曲目涵盖古典乐到摩城音乐(我的最爱)。坐在灯光璀璨的峡谷中,啜饮着啤酒,聆听他的歌声……简直妙不可言。他是这里的灵魂人物。温馨提示:查尔斯只喝热巧克力——所以,不妨请他喝一杯吧。
尽情享受吧——这是一次特别的体验。
