点评:We went to Vietnam and Cambodia on a conducted group tour, and this was part of our itinerary in Hoi An. The basket boat experience is combined with the cooking class. I am sure every conducted tour of Vietnam will include this, but if it does not, you ought to make sure you experience the basket boats, at the very least. And if you are doing Vietnam on your own, you absolutely MUST get your hotel to organise it for you. The cooking class etc....well....if you are a fan of cooking shows on TV, you might like it, but for those like me who were totally disinterested in cooking, it was a bit of a bore. (you get to eat the food, and that is nice....Vietnamese food is simply delicious!) The basket boats? Each boat has a boatman, who does the hard work of rowing. Each boat can take two passengers, and the boats are literally large baskets (see photos). You go quite a long way through the waterways, and then into a large expanse of water. If you like it, you can get your boatman to spin your boat....he can make it spin at a frighteningly high speed! Hang on tight, you could possibly get thrown off the boat as it spins! It is great fun to watch other boats spinning.....it makes for great videos to show folks back home or to post on social media.
翻译:我们参加了一个越南和柬埔寨的旅行团,在会安的行程中就包含了乘坐竹篮船。竹篮船体验和烹饪课是结合起来的。我相信所有越南旅行团都会包含这项活动,但如果你的旅行团没有,你至少应该体验一下竹篮船。如果你是自己去越南,那就一定要让酒店帮你安排。至于烹饪课嘛……如果你是电视烹饪节目的爱好者,你可能会喜欢,但对于像我这样对烹饪完全不感兴趣的人来说,就有点无聊了。(不过你可以吃到自己做的食物,这很不错……越南菜真的太美味了!)竹篮船呢?每艘船上都有一位船夫,负责划船。每艘船可以坐两名乘客,船身就像一个个大篮子(见照片)。你会沿着水道行驶很长一段距离,然后进入一片开阔的水域。如果你喜欢,可以让你船夫帮你转船……他能让船以惊人的速度旋转!抓紧了,船旋转的时候你可能会被甩出船外!观看其他船只旋转也很有趣……可以拍成很棒的视频,给家里人看或者发到社交媒体上。
