点评:Visiting Tangkuban Perahu was one of the highlights of my trip to Bandung. The drive up the mountain is beautiful, surrounded by cool highland air and views of tea plantations. Once you reach the top, the craters are truly spectacular—steaming vents, dramatic cliffs, and a landscape that feels both otherworldly and alive. Kawah Ratu, the main crater, is easily accessible and offers breathtaking photo opportunities.
The place is also steeped in folklore—the legend of Sangkuriang and the “upturned boat” shape of the mountain add a cultural charm to the natural beauty.
On the practical side, entry for foreign visitors is quite expensive compared to locals, and the presence of persistent vendors near the crater can feel overwhelming if you just want to enjoy the scenery in peace. My advice: go early in the morning on a weekday to avoid crowds, bring a mask or scarf for the sulfur fumes, and take your time exploring.
Overall, Tangkuban Perahu is well worth the visit—an unforgettable mix of natural wonder, cultural story, and highland adventure.
翻译:参观覆舟火山是我万隆之旅的亮点之一。一路上风景优美,清凉的高地空气和茶园的景色环绕四周。登顶后,火山口的壮丽景象令人叹为观止——热气腾腾的喷口、险峻的悬崖,以及既恍若世外桃源又生机勃勃的景象。主火山口卡瓦拉图(Kawah Ratu)交通便利,是绝佳的拍照地点。
这里也流传着许多民间传说——桑库里昂(Sangkuriang)的传说和“倒船”形状的山峰,为自然美景增添了文化魅力。
从实际角度来看,外国游客的门票价格与本地游客相比相当昂贵,而且火山口附近那些络绎不绝的小贩,如果你只是想安静地欣赏风景,可能会感到不知所措。我的建议是:工作日清晨前往,避开人群,戴上口罩或围巾抵御硫磺烟雾,慢慢探索。
总的来说,覆舟火山非常值得一游——它是自然奇观、文化故事和高地探险的令人难忘的结合。
