点评:Tower Bridge is a must see spot when you are visiting London. And if you plan on staying in London for a few days you should schedule Tower Bridge early in your trip as the views from the bridge are quite impressive and it really lays out the city for you.
Your visit to Tower Bridge starts right beyond Tower of London (another solid spot to visit). You enter and can then immediately climb to the top of the bridge, if you are unable they do have a lift, but if you can make the walk do so as the steps are curvy and cool and there are neat learning spots along the way. Once at the top you can walk across the span, view the River Thames from the glass panels on the floor and look out across the Thames in both directions to see The Walkie Talkie, The Shard and multiple other bridges and buildings. Once at the end of the first span you can cross over to the second span and see it all again from another perspective. All along the way on both spans are fun factoids and lots of spots for picture taking.
Once you complete both spans you make your way down and then walk back to the where the museum is where you can see the gears, oil in use and other bridge mechanisms. They also have a gift shop if you are so inclined. This was a trip highlight and we would highly recommend others try it out as well!
翻译:游览伦敦时,塔桥绝对是一个不容错过的景点。如果你计划在伦敦停留数日,建议尽早安排参观塔桥,因为从桥上俯瞰的景色极为壮观,能让你一览整个城市的风貌。
参观塔桥的入口就在伦敦塔(另一个非常值得一游的景点)的旁边。进入后,你可以直接登上桥顶;如果行动不便,这里也设有电梯可供使用。不过,如果你愿意步行前往,倒也是个不错的选择——沿途的台阶蜿蜒有趣,还有许多适合学习的好去处。到达顶端后,你可以沿着桥面行走,透过地面的玻璃面板俯瞰泰晤士河,还能向两岸远眺,看到“对讲机大楼”、“碎片大厦”以及众多其他桥梁和建筑物。走到第一段桥的尽头后,还能继续走到第二段桥上,从另一个角度欣赏这一切。在两条桥的沿途,都有许多有趣的小知识介绍,还有大量适合拍照的景点。
走完两条桥后,顺着下坡路返回,便可回到博物馆所在地。在那里可以观赏到各种齿轮、正在使用的润滑油以及其他桥梁机械装置。如果感兴趣的话,馆内还有礼品店可供选购。这次参观真是我们此行的亮点之一,我们强烈推荐大家也去体验一番!
