点评:If you’re in Banjul, it’s definitely worth checking out the Arch 22, especially because it’s one of the tallest buildings in The Gambia—or if not in The Gambia, definitely in Banjul. You have to climb stairs. There was an elevator, but it doesn’t work. Don’t expect anything too serious; I’d say if you like views from high places, you should basically go up. It has three floors, a spiral staircase—it’s not tough, actually, so you can get up with a light walk. If I look at it with a European perspective, it’s roughly like walking up to the 5th or 6th floor of an apartment building. It’s worth going up for the view, nothing else. There’s a minimal museum inside before you get to the highest point, where they show which ruler visited The Gambia, what they did, where they went. Next to it, there’s a photo exhibition. In the exhibition, they show the victims. I’m not going to tell you now why this viewpoint was built—many people have said that before. I would say if you’re interested in seeing what Banjul looks like from above, then it’s definitely worth going up. Banjul isn’t a big city, so you can really quickly learn where everything is and what’s where. I would say if you spend a day in Banjul, it’s definitely worth seeing. Also, under the viewpoint, under the Arch 22, there’s a nice little restaurant; it’s worth having a coffee or eating something there.
翻译:如果你在班珠尔,绝对值得去看看22号拱门,因为它是冈比亚最高的建筑之一——即便不是冈比亚最高的,也绝对是班珠尔最高的。你需要爬楼梯。那里原本有电梯,但已经坏了。别抱太大期望;如果你喜欢高处的风景,那就应该爬上去。它有三层,一个螺旋楼梯——其实并不难,你可以轻松走上去。如果从欧洲人的角度来看,这大概相当于爬到公寓楼的五六楼。值得上去就是为了欣赏风景,仅此而已。在到达最高点之前,里面有一个小型博物馆,展示了哪些统治者访问过冈比亚,他们做了什么,去了哪里。旁边还有一个摄影展。展览中展示了受害者的照片。我现在就不解释为什么建了这个观景台了——很多人都说过。不过,如果你想从高处俯瞰班珠尔,那绝对值得上去看看。班珠尔不大,所以你很快就能熟悉各个地方的位置和设施。如果你在班珠尔待一天,那这里绝对值得一去。另外,在观景台下方,也就是22号拱门下面,有一家不错的小餐馆;在那里喝杯咖啡或吃点东西也很不错。
