点评:Our hotel was right in this district, so we had quite a few opportunities to walk around and explore it whenever possible during our 4-day stay.
We were informed that it was formerly filled with warehouses and railroad yards. Today, it is noted for its art galleries, murals, upscale businesses, high-rise condos, fancy restaurants and high-end markets. One of the most famous buildings is that of Powell Books.
During our daily walk to the restaurants, we passed by Tanner Springs Park. This is a natural re-created area featuring wetlands, a walking path and a creek filled with water lilies. We also saw the rail car go by several times.
The Train Station is a cute old-fashioned building with a clock tower that stands out in the day as well as in the night.
We felt safe walking around. Still, we are tourists, so we were careful to return to our hotel quite early in the evening.
翻译:我们的酒店就在这个区域,所以在四天的住宿期间,我们有很多机会四处走走,探索一番。
我们得知,这里以前遍布仓库和铁路货场。如今,这里以艺术画廊、壁画、高档商业区、高层公寓、高档餐厅和高端市场而闻名。其中最著名的建筑之一是鲍威尔书店。
我们每天步行去餐厅的路上,都会经过坦纳泉公园。这是一个自然重建的区域,拥有湿地、步道和一条盛开着睡莲的小溪。我们还看到过几次火车经过。
火车站是一座可爱的老式建筑,钟楼无论白天还是夜晚都格外醒目。
我们觉得四处走走很安全。不过,我们是游客,所以很小心,晚上很早就回到了酒店。
