点评:Recently visited the historic Marble Palace with my family, expecting a memorable heritage experience. Unfortunately, what we encountered was deeply disappointing and concerning.
Although prior permission is typically required, I was allowed entry upon showing my government ID. However, the process itself lacked transparency—my family members’ IDs were not even checked. What raised serious concerns was the indirect expectation of “bakshish” (an unofficial payment) at the time of exit, which is completely unacceptable at any heritage site.
Inside, the experience deteriorated further. The behavior of the caretakers was highly unprofessional and disrespectful. Instead of guiding visitors, they constantly shouted, restricted movement aggressively, and created an environment that felt more hostile than welcoming.
What was particularly disturbing was the visible preferential treatment given to a group of foreign visitors, who were treated as “VIPs,” while we were instructed to maintain distance from them. Such discrimination has no place in today’s world and reflects poorly on the overall visitor experience.
Additionally, the maintenance of the property is in a neglected state. Dust accumulation is visible across the premises, and the small enclosure housing birds and animals appears poorly managed, with inadequate space and care. This raises concerns about animal welfare and calls for immediate attention from relevant authorities.
A heritage property of such cultural significance deserves far better management, transparency, and professionalism. I sincerely hope that the authorities intervene to address these issues, ensure proper upkeep, and create a respectful, fair, and welcoming environment for all visitors.

翻译:最近我和家人一起参观了历史悠久的大理石宫,原本期待着一次难忘的文化遗产之旅。然而,我们遇到的情况却令人深感失望和担忧。
虽然通常需要事先获得许可,但我出示身份证件后就被允许进入。然而,整个过程缺乏透明度——我的家人甚至都没有被检查身份证件。更令人担忧的是,他们暗示在离开时要“小费”(非正式的支付方式),这在任何文化遗产地都是完全不可接受的。
进入宫殿后,体验进一步恶化。工作人员的行为极其不专业且缺乏尊重。他们非但没有引导游客,反而不断大声喧哗,粗暴地限制游客的行动,营造出一种充满敌意而非热情友好的氛围。
尤其令人不安的是,一群外国游客明显受到了优待,被当作“贵宾”对待,而我们却被要求与他们保持距离。这种歧视在当今世界是绝对不能容忍的,也严重影响了游客的整体体验。
此外,该物业的维护状况堪忧。整个场所灰尘堆积,饲养鸟类和动物的小型圈舍管理不善,空间和照料都严重不足。这令人担忧动物福利,亟需相关部门立即关注。
如此具有文化意义的遗产地理应得到更好的管理、更高的透明度和更专业的服务。我衷心希望有关部门能够介入解决这些问题,确保妥善维护,并为所有游客营造一个尊重、公平和热情友好的环境。
