点评:I took a walk over to the Founder’s Memorial during the night and was almost the only visitor except for the staff sweeping.
I was able to see the head after a short while of shifting myself around. The constellation, as this design was called, was an innovative method that would create the head and face out of thousands of polyhedrons suspended on wires. More about the design and construction of the monument was available at the visitor center.
I did not get to see much of the landscaping at night. However at the right viewing angle one can catch the Ethihad Tower, used in the filming of Fast and Furious 7, and the Founders Memorial together.
The visitor center was about a five minute walk and was still open that night. It was air conditioned and a nice respite from the heat and humidity. A huge wall sized screen played an endless loop of scenes from the life of Sheik Zayed. As mentioned earlier the video on the memorial design and construction was in a smaller room with headsets in each chair to listen in your preferred language. Lastly bathrooms were located here as well. However, I did wish that they had a water refill station.
I’d come back and visit again during the daytime.
翻译:晚上,我步行去了国父纪念碑,除了打扫的工作人员,我几乎是唯一的游客。
我挪了挪身子,很快就看到了纪念碑的头部。这个设计被称为“星座”,是一种创新的方法,用数千个悬挂在钢丝上的多面体来构成纪念碑的头部和面部。游客中心可以了解更多关于纪念碑设计和建造的信息。
晚上我没能看到太多的景观。不过,从合适的角度看,可以看到《速度与激情7》拍摄地——阿提哈德塔和国父纪念碑的景象。
步行大约五分钟就能到游客中心,那天晚上仍然开放。那里有空调,是逃离闷热潮湿的好去处。一面巨大的墙面大小的屏幕循环播放着谢赫·扎耶德生平的片段。如前所述,纪念馆设计和建造的视频是在一间较小的房间里播放的,每个椅子上都配有耳机,可以用你喜欢的语言收听。最后,这里也设有卫生间。不过,我真希望他们能有个补水站。
我会白天再来这里看看。
