点评:I recently visited the beautiful and historic Pittock Mansion in Portland, Oregon. I loved learning about the history of the Pittock Family and gathering more information about the development of the city of Portland. The estate includes manicured ground that are wonderful to wander through on a sunny day. You can also enjoy the amazing views of the city's skyline from the mansion's grounds. I suggest you go to the museum in the morning because when I arrived at 10 a.m. the museum was very quiet, but by the time I left at noon the mansion was getting very crowded with visitors. The mansion is filled with beautiful antiques and several information plaques that give you the background/biographies of the family members who lived there.
The museum is relocated on a very isolated mountain top, so the best way to get there is either to drive or take an Uber. Although there is a city bus that leaves you near the museum, you then have to walk up a very steep, hilly road to the mansion. If you're feeling adventurous and want to take a hike on a beautiful day, there are nature trails that lead from the mansion Washington Park.
P.S. The only thing I didn't like was rudeness of the museum staff. The young lady at the ticket office was rude and abrupt. I also noticed that the lady at the entrance of the museum (where you start the tour) was very unfriendly. She seemed bothered when I asked her if there was a little map for the "self-guided" tour. I found this behavior very strange because almost everyone I encountered during my visit to Portland was very polite and friendly!
翻译:我最近参观了位于俄勒冈州波特兰市美丽而历史悠久的皮托克庄园。我喜欢了解皮托克家族的历史,并收集更多有关波特兰市发展的信息。庄园内有修剪整齐的草坪,阳光明媚的日子里漫步其中非常惬意。您还可以从庄园的庭院欣赏城市天际线的壮丽景色。我建议您早上去博物馆,因为我上午10点到达时,博物馆非常安静,但到了中午离开时,庄园里已经挤满了游客。庄园里摆满了精美的古董和几块信息牌,介绍了居住在此的家族成员的背景/传记。博物馆位于一个非常偏僻的山顶上,因此前往那里的最佳方式是开车或乘坐优步。虽然有城市公交车可以直达博物馆附近,但您还需要步行一条非常陡峭的山路才能到达庄园。如果您喜欢冒险,想在天气好的时候徒步旅行,可以从华盛顿公园大厦出发,沿着自然小径前往。
附言:我唯一不喜欢的是博物馆工作人员的粗鲁。售票处的年轻女士既粗鲁又唐突。我还注意到博物馆入口处(参观的起点)的女士非常不友好。当我问她是否有“自助游”的小地图时,她似乎很不耐烦。我觉得这种行为很奇怪,因为在我访问波特兰期间,几乎遇到的每个人都非常有礼貌和友好!
