点评:Vizhinjam Lighthouse: A Guide for Visitors
The Vizhinjam Lighthouse is conveniently located very close to Kovalam Beach and is easily accessible by road. You'll find parking spaces within its premises.
Upon arrival, you'll need to purchase a parking ticket at the gate. Entry tickets are also required for both individuals and any cameras you bring (though phone cameras are not charged). A staff member at the lighthouse entrance will check your tickets.
Reaching the Top
Visitors have two options to reach the top of the lighthouse: you can climb all 140 steps via the narrow spiral staircase, or you can take a small elevator (fits 2/3 ppl) that almost takes you up. I say "almost" because there are still a few steep steps to climb, followed by a metal ladder to reach the very top. If you're faint of heart, this final ascent might not be for you. The stairwell can be narrow, requiring you to squeeze past others coming from the opposite direction. While climbing the metal ladder is quite easy, exercise extra caution when descending, as some children might find it a bit scary.
The View from Above
The breathtaking 360-degree view from the top is absolutely worth the climb! You'll be treated to panoramic view of the sea, the beaches, surrounding buildings, and lush greenery. There's enough space for one person to stand close to the railing, with room for others to pass by. Be aware that the wind can be quite strong at the top.
When returning, staff at the top will direct the flow of people up and down the ladder, so expect a slight delay at this point. This controlled approach is, of course, for everyone's safety.
Amenities and Tips
On the premises, you'll find a small cafe and a playground overlooking the sea, which I highly recommend. For the best experience, consider visiting during off-peak hours or the off-season to avoid crowds.
翻译:维津贾姆灯塔:游客指南
维津贾姆灯塔位置便利,毗邻科瓦兰海滩,可通过公路轻松抵达。灯塔内设有停车位。
抵达后,您需要在门口购买停车票。个人和携带的相机也需要门票(手机相机免费)。灯塔入口处的工作人员会检查您的门票。
登顶
游客有两种方式到达灯塔顶部:您可以通过狭窄的螺旋楼梯爬上140级台阶,或者乘坐小型电梯(可容纳2/3人),几乎可以到达顶部。我说“几乎”是因为还有几级陡峭的台阶需要爬,然后需要爬上金属梯子才能到达顶部。如果您胆小,这最后的攀登可能不适合你。楼梯间可能比较狭窄,需要挤过对面过来的人。虽然爬金属梯子很容易,但下楼时要格外小心,因为有些孩子可能会觉得有点害怕。
俯瞰美景
从顶部欣赏令人惊叹的360度全景,绝对值得一试!您将欣赏到大海、海滩、周围建筑和郁郁葱葱的绿植的全景。楼梯间有足够的空间供一个人靠近栏杆站立,同时也有足够的空间供其他人通过。请注意,顶部的风可能相当大。
返回时,顶部的工作人员会引导上下梯子的人流,因此预计此时会稍有延迟。当然,这种受控的方式是为了每个人的安全。
便利设施和小贴士
酒店内设有一家小咖啡馆和一个可以俯瞰大海的游乐场,我强烈推荐。为了获得最佳体验,请考虑在非高峰时段或淡季前往,以避开拥挤的人群。
