Dhowa Rock Temple的点评
点评：We visited this ancient temple on the way to Ella. The main impression is, of course, the huge Buddha statue carved directly into the rock face. The scale is impressive, and it looks very harmonious with the nature.
However, there are several important points that significantly spoil the experience:
· Paid entrance & possible scam: They charged 1500 rupees (~$5) per person. When we commented on the high price, the ticket sellers claimed it was a "charity donation." BEWARE: There is no visible evidence of any charity work or renovations for this price. You simply pay to enter the territory.
· Lack of infrastructure: A guide is not included, and there is minimal information. Essentially, you pay only for the opportunity to approach and look at the statue. The whole visit took us literally a few minutes.
· Inconvenient ascent: The path to the statue itself is not a staircase but a rocky, potentially slippery trail. It would be difficult and unsafe for elderly people or those with mobility issues to climb.
· Cleanliness: Despite the requirement to remove shoes, the designated shoe storage area was quite littered.
Verdict: If you're passing by and have time, you can stop for 10-15 minutes to see the statue. It's probably not worth making a special trip here. Be prepared for the experience to feel very fragmented due to the poor organization (or lack thereof) and the disproportionate entry fee. Be cautious about the stated "charity" purpose of the ticket.

翻译：我们在前往埃拉的途中参观了这座古老的寺庙。最令人印象深刻的当然是那尊直接雕刻在岩壁上的巨大佛像。佛像规模宏大，与周围的自然环境和谐相融。
然而，有几点严重影响了参观体验：
· 门票收费及可能的骗局：每人收费1500卢比（约5美元）。当我们质疑价格过高时，售票员声称这是“慈善捐款”。请注意：这个价格并没有用于任何慈善活动或修缮。你付钱只是为了进入寺庙。
· 基础设施匮乏：不包含导游服务，信息也十分有限。实际上，你付钱只是为了有机会近距离观看佛像。整个参观过程我们只用了几分钟。
· 攀登困难：通往佛像的路不是台阶，而是一条崎岖不平、可能湿滑的小径。对于老年人或行动不便的人来说，攀登这条路既困难又危险。
· 清洁度：尽管要求脱鞋，但指定的鞋柜区域却十分杂乱。
结论：如果您路过且时间充裕，可以停留 10-15 分钟参观这座雕像。但可能不值得专程前来。由于组织不善（或者说缺乏组织）以及门票价格过高，参观体验可能会非常零散。请对门票上标明的“慈善”用途保持谨慎。
