在文萊之旅中探索神奇的浮動村莊
Perhaps Brunei is the most unfamiliar name when it comes to Southeast Asia tourism. But there is a reason for you to consider traveling to Brunei.
說到東南亞旅游業(yè),文萊也許是最不為人熟知的名字。但你有理由考慮去文萊旅行。
Brunei is a small, oil-rich kingdom nestled in Malaysia's Sarawak province, boasting pristine beauty and rich cultural history.
文萊是一個(gè)小的石油王國,坐落在馬來西亞的沙撈越省,以其原始的美麗和豐富的文化歷史而自豪。
On the river that flows through Bandar Seri Begawan, the capital of the kingdom of Brunei, there is a village built on stilts that are older than the city surrounding it. Wooden houses only existed for several decades, but this particular village has existed for over a thousand years. This magical floating village is where you can fully explore Brunei.
在流經(jīng)文萊王國首都斯里巴加灣的河流上,有一個(gè)建在支柱上的村莊,比周圍的城市還要古老。木屋只存在了幾十年,但這個(gè)特殊的村莊已經(jīng)存在了一千多年。這個(gè)神奇的浮動村莊是你可以充分探索文萊的地方。
Kampong Ayer floating village still has the same number of houses as any city. But absolutely no home here hanging signs like in Vietnam at all. Instead, they paint their homes with special patterns with vivid colors to help people locate the house. When you come to this floating village, keep an eye out for the house numbers that are often painted on dazzling walls. Some décor houses are extremely complex, even with décor. Although criminals are rare, all families have "geese" goose.
部落艾耶爾漂浮村的房屋數(shù)量仍然和其他城市一樣多。但這里絕對沒有像越南那樣懸掛標(biāo)語的地方。相反,他們用特別的圖案和鮮艷的顏色來畫他們的房子,以幫助人們找到房子的位置。當(dāng)你來到這個(gè)漂浮的村莊時(shí),請留意那些經(jīng)常掛在耀眼墻壁上的門牌號。有些裝修房子非常復(fù)雜,甚至連裝飾也不例外。雖然罪犯很少,但家家都有“大雁”鵝。
Visitors to Kampong Ayer floating village (meaning "the village on the water" in Malaysian) can only come in one way: a boat. Take the opposite direction of the beautiful Sultan Omar Ali Saifuddin Mosque, walk towards the banks of the Brunei River and ask any water taxi driver waiting below the steps. Tell them you want to go to Kampong Ayer, and they will enthusiastically drive you to visit "Venice of the East". Drivers will ask you which direction to go to (read "jeti" on the signpost), the price will depend on your destination and will increase in the evening.
部落艾耶爾浮動村(馬來西亞語意為“水上村”)的游客只有一種方式:船。沿著美麗的蘇丹奧馬爾·阿里·賽義丁清真寺的相反方向,向文萊河岸走去,問問在臺階下等著的水上出租車司機(jī)。告訴他們你想去甘榜耶,他們會熱情地帶你去參觀“東方威尼斯”。司機(jī)會問你往哪個(gè)方向走(路標(biāo)上寫著“jeti”),價(jià)格會根據(jù)你的目的地而定,晚上會上漲。
Kampong Ayer has existed for hundreds of years even though wooden houses have been rebuilt every 60 years, as wooden foundations can rot. If you stay in one of the Airbnb rental houses here, you will wake up in the scene when fishermen catch fish in the morning and people go to work by "water taxi".
雖然每隔60年就會重建一次木屋,但部落艾耶爾已經(jīng)存在了數(shù)百年,因?yàn)槟局频鼗赡軙癄€。如果你呆在一個(gè)Airbnb的出租房子,你會在漁民早上捕魚,人們乘坐“水上出租車”上班的場景中醒來。
Shipbuilding is the traditional industry of this mysterious village. The people of Kampong Ayer have the skills to create wonderful, watertight wooden boats. Coming here, you will see them boast about their "wooden steeds" to prepare for the annual Regatta boat race on the Brunei river.
造船是這個(gè)神秘村莊的傳統(tǒng)工業(yè)。部落艾耶爾人有能力創(chuàng)造出美妙的、防水的木船。來到這里,你會看到他們吹噓自己的“木馬”,為文萊河上一年一度的劃船比賽做準(zhǔn)備。
The cost of maintaining a bungalow can be quite expensive. Because rebuilding after 60 years. However, creative residents are beginning to put their rainbow-colored houses on cement pillars to ensure the Kampong Ayer floating village is still alive. When traveling along the Kampong Ayer waterway, the people here will greet you warmly. They even invite you to visit your home. If you want to enjoy Brunei cuisine, you can go to traditional restaurants here, we recommend the restaurant located between the Floating Village Museum (Water Village Museum) and Jetty 1 (Jetty 1).
維護(hù)平房的費(fèi)用可能相當(dāng)昂貴。因?yàn)?0年后會重建。然而,富有創(chuàng)意的居民們開始把他們彩虹色的房子建在水泥柱子上,以確保磅灘島漂浮的村莊依然生機(jī)勃勃。當(dāng)你沿著部落艾耶爾水道旅行時(shí),這里的人們會熱情地歡迎你。他們甚至?xí)埬闳ツ慵易隹汀H绻阆肫穱L文萊美食,你可以去這里的傳統(tǒng)餐廳,我們推薦這家位于浮動村博物館(水村博物館)和碼頭1號(碼頭1號)之間的餐廳。
Wooden walkways along Kampongs (small settlements) can get you lost. Mark each of the highlights of the necessary places or you want to go back to ask for directions for ease.
沿著部落艾耶爾(小居民點(diǎn))的木質(zhì)走道可能會讓你迷路。標(biāo)出每一個(gè)必要的地方,或者你想要回去的話,問路會方便。
Cat lovers must definitely travel to Brunei once. Kampong Ayer has a lot of friendly cats roaming the wooden boards waiting for mice. Most houses here have at least one cat. And consider bringing food for the stray cats.
愛貓人士一定要去文萊旅行一次。部落艾耶爾有很多友好的貓?jiān)谀景迳祥e逛,等著老鼠。這里的大多數(shù)房子都至少有一只貓??紤]給流浪貓帶些食物。
If you decide to spend a few hours walking around this magical floating village, take a walk in the sunset and you can always catch a boat back (as long as you remember the harbor number). When it gets dark, light up your phone and wave in the air to alert the water taxi that you want to cross the river.
如果你決定花幾個(gè)小時(shí)在這個(gè)神奇的浮動的村莊散步,在夕陽下散步,你總是可以趕上船回來(只要你記得港口號碼)。天黑時(shí),打開手機(jī),在空中揮手,提醒水上的人你要過河。
Before the 1980s, there was a floating market where merchants would stop under the kitchens of all houses to check if residents wanted to buy any merchandise. But with the expansion of amenities and more supermarkets, the floating market has ceased to exist. It was a disappointing loss for those interested in preserving the unique culture of Kampong Ayer. However, floating villages still exist.
在20世紀(jì)80年代之前,這里有一個(gè)浮動市場,商人們會在所有房子的廚房下面停下來,看看居民們是否想購買任何商品。但隨著設(shè)施的擴(kuò)大和超市的增多,水上市場已經(jīng)不復(fù)存在。對于那些對保護(hù)部落艾耶爾獨(dú)特文化感興趣的人來說,這是一個(gè)令人失望的損失。然而,漂浮村莊仍然存在。
For much of Brunei history, Kampong Ayer is like the capital of this country. But despite the significance, many Brunei people have never been to this mysterious village. They missed out on the beauty just across the river from today's capital Bandar Seri Begawan. And perhaps, they never know what they have lost.
在文萊歷史的大部分時(shí)間里,部落艾耶爾就像是這個(gè)國家的首都。但盡管如此,許多文萊人從未去過這個(gè)神秘的村莊。他們錯(cuò)過了首都斯里巴加灣河對岸的美景。也許,他們永遠(yuǎn)不知道他們失去了什么。
