点评:This monastery is definitely worth a visit. In the middle of the courtyard stands the main church of the Holy Mother of God, decorated both inside and out with brightly colored frescoes. Finding the best angle for a great shot makes the courtyard a literal paradise for photographers. However, please note that taking pictures inside the church is prohibited, and video recording is not allowed anywhere on the monastery grounds.
I learned an interesting fact from our guide: there are only seven monks living in this entire, vast monastery. Five of them are quite elderly, and no new monks want to join them. The reason is that the monastery has become a very busy tourist spot, meaning they no longer have the peace and quiet they need for their meditation.
In the monastery area, you will find several souvenir shops. Just outside the main gate, there is a restaurant, an excellent bakery, and various stalls selling food, ice cream, and local crafts.
Finally, a useful tip for visitors: the water from all the drinking fountains here is completely safe to drink without any worries.
翻译:这座修道院绝对值得一游。庭院中央矗立着圣母主教堂,其内外都装饰着色彩鲜艳的壁画。找到最佳角度来拍摄,会让这个庭院成为摄影爱好者的人间天堂。不过请注意:教堂内部禁止拍照,整个修道院区域内也不允许录像。我从导游那里了解到一个有趣的事实:在这座规模宏大的修道院里,只有七名僧侣居住。其中五人年纪都很大了,而且没有新的僧侣愿意加入他们。原因在于,这座修道院如今已变成一个极其热闹的旅游景点,因此僧侣们再也无法享受他们打坐冥想所需的宁静环境了。
在修道院区域内,有几家纪念品商店。正门外面则有一家餐厅、一家很棒的面包店,还有许多售卖食物的摊贩。冰淇淋以及当地手工艺品。
最后,给游客的一个实用小贴士:这里所有饮水机流出的水都完全可以放心饮用。
