运河是巴拿马的标志和重要经济支柱,巴拿马的建国和历史基本上都和运河有关。三百万的人口和六百多亿的国民生产总值运河占了很大比重,属于巴拿马的长城,来这里必看的景点,就是很快!
Definitely consider taking the partial canal tour. It's expensive ($150 pp), but absolutely worth it. The guide is a wealth of knowledge and you can hear him really well throughout the boat. He is happy to answer questions. They provide breakfast and lunch. It's truly amazing to go through the locks with huge container ships, tugboats, tiny sail boats, luxury yachts and yourself.
Luckily we saw a big ship passing through, people there are really kind and ready to help you. The trip was easy, went through a cab driver who was friendly
The foresight, the engineering, the execution - 100 years later the Canal still functions as it did on day one. An amazing feat!
这是必然要体验的!实际去观看的感觉更是美妙。我看着过往的船只,惊讶于这个工程的神奇。现在,如果一个成人要进入4层的观景台,并通过观景台去到剧院和博物馆要8美元,当然,如果你只到观景台就不需要那么多了,3美元就够了。电影虽然很短,但还不错,如果一场电影开始时,你恰巧在附近,那么正好可以用来打发时间。米拉弗洛雷斯游客中心正在建设中,所以有时会有点不方便,不过它仍在开放中,而且仍然很值得逗留一番。
最近,我第一次乘坐Holland America游轮从圣迭戈穿越巴拿马运河去到了罗德岱堡。整个航程非常美妙,穿过运河的部分是整个航程的亮点!我建议任何一个有兴趣穿越该运河的或者已经穿越这条运河的人,都去读读David McCullough的这本名叫“The Path between the Seas”的书。这是一本很厚的书,但是里面关于这座令人惊叹的运河是如何建造的信息是非常有用的。我从没见过像这个运河或者加通湖这样的地方......太美了。
The museum at Miraflores lock is excellent. Watch the ships pass the lock's, fascinating.The guides are helpful. Spend time here, it is well worth it.
Went through on a small vessel from Colon to Panama City as well as seeing the Miraflores Locks Visitor"s Center on land. Wonderful experience to see this amazing engineering marvel. I'd suggest that before you go you read David McCullough's " The Path Between the Seas" to make it even more enjoyable
开会,忙里偷闲去趟著名的巴拿马运河。出乎意料,巴拿马运河显得非常的窄,大型的货船只能刚刚好通过。在平台上饶有兴致地看了半天船只怎么抬升水位再降水位地穿过巴拿马运河,然后去他的博物馆,3d演示厅,很清晰地展示了巴拿马运河建造和运行的原理。在博物馆里有一个非常有趣的模拟,感觉自己就站在即将通过运河的船只船头,非常身临其境。据说每只船通过要缴纳30到40万美金,一天大概通过35到40艘船,巴拿马的经济四分之一就靠运河啦!
来运河旅游真是太值得了!游船提供早餐和午餐。只需要60元就能买到一张运河纪念证书!!
