Koh Chang Review

World Heritage India-Xiangdao Grottoes Elephanta Caves Mumbai as a whole is seriously empty, AQI is moderately polluted, just stepped on Xiangdao, still full of garbage, 1.4 billion people are really difficult to control. But climbing up to the grotto, seeing the giant statues inside, all reliefs of Shiva, and Linga (genital organs), you know how much people worshiped Shiva at that time. Although there are three Hindu gods, Brahma is relatively uneatable in India (the most popular in Southeast Asia and Taiwan is our Erawan Buddha), and the other two main gods are Shiva and Shushi slave, one master palm destruction, and one master palm maintenance, so Shiva pie, The face will be painted with paint (ash), and three lines will be smeared on the forehead. The Shiniuists will draw three lines (relatively neat) on the forehead. The believers in the Indian temple will be very rigorous. In addition to kneeling and worshiping, the more amazing is the very powerful dance. (Indians have dance DNA) Thank you for my super powerful travel companion, Anne God, we ate in India for a week, except for the spicy days ago, now quite adapting to local food (mainly because Anne is also very good at pointing), looking forward to the next stop :) #elephantaisland #mumbai #worldheritage #shiva #linga

Mumbai Impression Elephant Island Elephanta Caves2019 February 24, Qing 34 degrees Elephant Island is an island in the harbor of Mumbai, located 11 kilometers northeast of India Gate, is a United Nations World Heritage Site. The area is known as more than ten square kilometers, and it is famous for the cave temples and statues of the Hindu gods built in the 2nd century. Half of the grottoes here are Hindu, the other half are Buddhist, and Buddhism is not open at present. There are only five open grottoes in Hinduism, and can one and a half be barely counted for a year? The monuments, which were destroyed by the Portuguese army, are now the most famous and well-preserved temple of Shiva, the most famous statue of the 6-meter-high Trimurti, one of the immortal masterpieces of Indian carving and even world carving. Other basic damage, nothing to see, I feel, compared with the Longmen Grottoes Yungang Grottoes, the protection measures are too much. Arrival method: take a ferry to the pier in front of the Indian door, the voyage is about an hour, 200 rupees to and from ／ people. The outbound ferry time is 9:00-14:30 and the return ferry time is 12:30-18:00. Opening hours: Open all year round, not open on Monday. Tickets: 600 rupees per person. The camera charges another 25 rupees, and the mobile phone is free. To go to Aveda and Elora Grottoes, this grotto can be ignored, the price is really not high.

Xiangdao is relatively small, and fewer people come to the grottoes, but I like it

The day trip group reported is generally quite good

具有独特文化的一座石窟艺术，反应了古代建筑智慧

【地理位置】印度有诸多属于世界遗产的石窟，象岛应该是离城市最方便的一个。它就在孟买印度门以东大约10公里处的海上。面积十多平方公里。【交通】绕过印度门，到靠海的那一面，就是上船的码头。上岛的票200+5=205卢比，不对号，船的一楼有空位就坐。单程时长：约一小时。注1：码头同时也卖船游港湾（不去岛）的票，别买错了。注2：只能坐船的一楼，二楼多收10卢比，才能上去拍照。注3：出发时，会有很多海鸥跟着船飞，可向船家买零食投喂拍照，怕鸟的往里面坐点。注4：千万保留好船票，回程要查。船到岛后，有小火车，开约三四百米，从码头到山脚下。个人不推荐，要等一船人下完才会开，也没省时间。【门票】下船进景区钱前，有个税费5卢比/人；景区门票外国成人600卢比，摄像机额外收费25卢比/台【营业时间】周二到周日，9:00-17:30，末班船回程：冬季17:30，夏季可能18:00。【建议游玩时间】2小时左右【游玩线路】下船后，沿铁轨到山脚下，爬坡过购物街，到售票处。从售票处往前约三十米，在亭子处右转，可参观的各窟在你的右手边。走到底，要原路返回。出售票处，出门，左转，有小路可上山去观景台，上面有两尊大炮，从山顶可俯视海域。同样原路返回。体力不够的，可以忽略爬山。【安全须知】岛上猴很多，保管好财物，不要去惹。【物品】孟买整年都比较热，做好防晒，带好水。【厕所】景区内，免费；售票处外餐厅，可以借用；上下山路上有一个厕所，付费。【购物】山脚到售票处的台阶是条购物街，冰箱、饰品、水晶、石雕等，价格还算合理，可以适当还价后选择。【特色推荐】象岛石窟最著名的雕像在第一个窟，三相神，非常精美，三面头像表情都非常传神。另有多幅保存比较完好的石刻，充分展示了印度教诸神或婀娜或神武的姿态，体现了印度石刻的工艺水平。其余诸窟大部分损毁，雕像尽失。
