点评:A quick tip for anyone visiting: Be very specific when setting your GPS. If you just search for "Ayyana Kere," the map leads you to the backwaters where there isn't much to see. Instead, select "Ayyana Kere View Point." This leads you to the actual destination with a defined parking lot and a short walk to the beautiful lake overflow channel.
The lake is vast and the views are stunning. There is a small park and a few shops selling fruits and snacks. I visited on a Sunday, and it was surprisingly not too crowded. While it's a great spot for families and kids, the maintenance is unfortunately lacking.
The area is overgrown with bushes, which can feel a bit unsafe, and there is no security or watchman near the overflow area. The lack of basic facilities like clean toilets and drinking water is a major downside, and the smell near certain areas is quite pungent due to public urination. I really hope the authorities invest in better maintenance and gardening, as this place has so much potential to be a top-tier tourist destination.
翻译:给所有游客的小贴士:设置GPS时一定要非常精确。如果你只搜索“Ayyana Kere”,地图会把你带到没什么可看的内陆水域。正确的做法是选择“Ayyana Kere View Point”。这样就能直接到达目的地,那里有专门的停车场,而且步行一小段路就能到达美丽的湖泊溢洪道。
湖泊辽阔,景色迷人。这里有一个小公园和几家售卖水果和小吃的商店。我是在周日去的,出乎意料地人不多。虽然这里很适合家庭和孩子,但可惜的是,维护工作做得不够好。
这片区域灌木丛生,让人感觉不太安全,而且溢洪道附近也没有保安或看守。缺乏干净的厕所和饮用水等基本设施是一个很大的缺点,而且由于有人随地小便,某些区域气味难闻。我真心希望有关部门能够加大投入,改善维护和绿化,因为这里很有潜力成为一流的旅游胜地。
