点评:Honestly, don't bother. You must buy a separate ticket; it’s not included in the ticket required to visit the temples, and the price seems to be higher for foreigners. There’s a woman with a whistle who’s supposed to make sure 20 people visit the top and come back at designated times, and she does a terrible job, creating a somewhat unsafe situation. The stairs are terminally clogged with people too scared to keep going up at more than a snail’s pace, who refuse to give any room for people to try to get down. There’s no understanding that people going up need to do so against the rail, and people coming down need to do so against the wall.
The outside walkway is narrow and equally ungoverned. Everyone clogs at the door, trying to get their perfect overhead shot of the temple hill, and takes way too long doing so chatting on Facebook Live or whatever when they should be recording a ten-second video and moving along. The walkway is too narrow for two people, yet people squeeze past each other back and forth in whichever direction; there’s no understanding that everyone will get their pictures faster if they slowly circle the top in one direction. Parents carry infants and toddlers upstairs and outside in their arms despite the guard rail being only waist-high, and people with huge cameras jostle with them dangerously.
The worst part is, the view is nothing to write home about. People calling it the ‘view of a lifetime’ in their reviews just haven’t traveled much. The view of the Olakkannesvara temple is no better from the top of the lighthouse than from the rock the lighthouse is standing on, and the town and beach are unimpressive, even from above.
翻译:老实说,别打扰。您必须单独购买门票;它不包含在参观寺庙的门票中,而且对于外国人来说价格似乎更高。有一个拿着哨子的女人,她应该确保 20 个人参观山顶并在指定时间返回,但她做得很糟糕,造成了一些不安全的情况。楼梯最终被人堵住了,他们害怕得不敢以蜗牛般的速度继续向上,他们拒绝给人们任何试图下楼的空间。不明白的是,上去的人需要靠着栏杆,下来的人需要靠着墙。
外面的走道很狭窄,同样无人监管。每个人都堵在门口,试图从头顶拍摄寺庙山的完美照片,但在 Facebook Live 或其他其他方式上聊天却花了太长时间,而他们本应该录制一个 10 秒的视频并继续前进。走道对于两个人来说太窄了,但人们却在各个方向上挤来挤去;没有人知道,如果每个人都沿着一个方向慢慢地绕着顶部旋转,就会更快地拍出照片。尽管护栏只有齐腰高,父母仍将婴儿和幼儿抱到楼上和外面,带着巨大相机的人与他们危险地挤在一起。
最糟糕的是,景色没什么值得大书特书的。人们在评论中称其为“一生难忘的景色”,只是他们没有去过太多地方。从灯塔顶部看到的 Olakkannesvara 寺庙的景色并不比从灯塔所在的岩石上看到的景色更好,而且即使从上面看,小镇和海滩也并不令人印象深刻。
