点评:It is about a little more than an hour out of Terengganu’s centre; and while it might feel wild to take on that much mileage just for one tick off your itinerary, the place is alot more accessible than you think- especially if you hail a ride (the rates are not as punishing as you might imagine).
Side note though, when you’re here, do not anticipate big-ticket excitement and the typical standard tourist thrills. The words ‘conservation village’ are, after all, part of its name; and while elephant feeding and bathing sessions are available, there is an absence of long rides, performances, physical touching of the elephants, or even highly unnatural tricks that may take a toll on the elephants’ well-being. Here, the elephants are looked after by mahouts, and there is visceral trust between the two that is noticeable, even at a glance.
翻译:这里距离登嘉楼市中心约一个多小时车程;虽然为了在行程中打个折扣而跑这么远的路可能感觉有点疯狂,但其实这里比你想象的要容易得多——尤其是如果你叫车的话(车费并没有你想象的那么高)。
不过,需要注意的是,来到这里,不要期待昂贵的刺激和典型的旅游刺激。毕竟,“保育村”只是它名字的一部分;虽然这里提供大象喂食和沐浴服务,但这里没有长途骑行、表演、与大象的身体接触,甚至没有可能损害大象健康的非常不自然的把戏。在这里,大象由象夫照顾,两者之间有着发自内心的信任,即使一眼望去也能感受到。
