环球之旅:带你走进美国10大怪异奇妙的地方
6. Meteor Crater, Arizona: The second most impressive hole in Arizona was formed by a fiery meteor that screamed into the atmosphere about 50,000 years ago, when giant sloths lived in these parts. Meteor Crater, 40 miles east of Flagstaff, is an out-of-this-world site for those with a thimbleful of imagination. Nearly a mile across and 600ft deep, there are lookout points around the crater's edge but no hiking to the bottom. Check out the fun, informative visitor center.
亚利桑那州 陨石坑:亚利桑那州第二大印象深刻的洞是由于流星形成的,5万年以前流星呼啸而来到这个地区,当时高大的树懒住在那里。陨石坑在Flagstaff东40公里,对于那些没有太多想象力的人来说是一个世外桃源。将近一公里长,600英尺深,在坑边有观景点但没有去坑底的路。去体验乐趣,充实游客中心。
7. Coral Castle, Florida: This favored stop in Homestead is one man's kitschy do-it-yourself testament to lost love: Latvian immigrant Ed Leedskalnin dug up over 2.2 million tons of coral rock to build this mock castle. Its engineering was once a bit of mystery, especially since the broken-hearted Romeo worked secretively at night without using any mortar. Some claim that the marvel has unusual electromagnetic properties.
福罗里达州 珊瑚城堡:Homestead的这个景点是一个技艺娴熟的男人自己动手见证失去的爱:拉脱维亚移民Ed Leedskalnin挖了超过220万吨的珊瑚石建立了这个假的城堡。它的工程曾经是一个谜,特别是这个心碎的罗密欧在晚上秘密的工作,不用任何灰泥。有人声称,这个奇观有不同寻常的电磁性质。
8. Lucy the Margate Elephant, New Jersey: Drive around the beach communities just south of Atlantic City and something massive, gray and kitsch will stop you in your tracks: Lucy the Margate Elephant,a 65ft-high wooden pachyderm constructed in 1881 as a developer's truly weird scheme to attract land buyers to the area. It was variously used as a hotel, beach cottage, private mansion and last, a tavern, but rowdy patrons almost destroyed her. Now recognized on the National Register of Historic Places, Lucy is open for tours during summer, starting every half hour, weather permitting.
新泽西 露西 马尔盖特大象:在大西洋城以南的海滩社区附近驾驶,一个巨大的灰色俗气的东西会让你停下来:露西 马尔盖特大象,1881年建造的一个65英尺高的木质厚皮动物,因为开发者的古怪计划是吸引这一地区的土地买家。开始它的用途广泛,作为旅店,海边小木屋,私人府邸。最后变成酒店,但喧闹的顾客几乎毁了她。现在,GJ历史名胜注册,Lucy在夏季对游客开放,天气允许的话每半小时开放一次。
