"Cathedral guidance" 2015/10/18
Today we have a cathedral guidance by a Taiwanese PhD student.I'm very glad to meet so many Taiwanese students today.
It's really a good opportunity to understand the history and religion of Britain. The senior student took us to the inside of Cathedral and we saw the decoration and the exotic style wall. However, we are not allowed to take a picture in the cathedral, only when matriculation or the other Important events could do.
He also explain the difference between the Romanesque architecture and the Gothic architecture.
今天由正在攻讀神學博班的學長帶我們遊覽Durham Cathedral, 除了介紹英國的宗教與歷史,也帶我們進入Cathedral,介紹基督教的儀式與一些建築的設計。讓我們可以瞭解更多關於英國的歷史與信仰,也讓我們知道每個學院命名的偉人在基督史上的地位及貢獻。真的是很棒的解說!

【Buçaco Part 2 ~ 宮廷酒店篇】
【Buçaco Part 2 ~ Palace Hotel Buçaco】
建築在 Buçaco 森林裡的這間豪華酒店Palace Hotel Buçaco, 華麗的建築和細致的裝飾, 實在令人驚歎不已。這天, 和朋友們一起步行穿過森林的一條小徑, 到達了宮廷酒店的外圍時, 已立時被其細致優美的建築所迷住了。
Walked through the Buçaco National Forest, my friends and I at last reached the magnificent Palace Hotel Buçaco. Totally stunned and mesmerised by this grandiose hotel which is built in the heart of the forest.
宮廷酒店本來是一所宮殿, 是葡萄牙最後一位皇帝在1888年任命興建, 在1907年被改建成現在壯觀迷人的宮廷酒店。酒店內外的每一角落, 都是謀殺菲林和SD卡上空間 的地方!
曾到過里斯本近郊貝倫區 (Belém) 華麗宏偉的Mosteiro dos Jerónimos (傑羅尼莫斯修道院) 參觀過的朋友, 當看到Palace Hotel Buçaco 時, 也許會感到它的建築風格跟傑羅尼莫斯修道院的相似。沒錯, 這是因為, 傑羅尼莫斯修道院是獨有的葡萄牙曼努埃爾式建築 (Manueline or Portuguese Final Gothic) 中最具代表性建築物之一; 而 Palace Hotel Buçaco 則是採用新曼努埃爾式 (Neo-Manueline) 建築風格建成。
Originally a palace built in 1888, commissioned by the last king of Portugal, it was afterwards converted into a charming and majestic hotel in 1907. Every corner of the hotel is a beautiful photo-shooting place!
Those of you who have been to the awesome Mosteiro dos Jerónimos in Belém, when they see Palace Hotel Buçaco, they may find the architectural style of both structures pretty similar. This is because the Mosteiro dos Jerónimos is a fine example of the Portuguese Manueline architecture style; whereas Palace Hotel Buçaco is characterised by its Neo-Manueline style.
註: 酒店外部分建築基本上是可以參觀, 但酒店裡面則只招待住客, 謝絕非住客參觀 (因為它非常著名的關係, 每天都有很多旅客慕名而來想入內參觀)。我們這天到達時, 因為光顧酒店裡的餐廳用膳, 所以才有機會借此機會拍照。酒店格調超高雅, 因此進入酒店後宜保持安靜。
Note: Non-hotel residents can basically visit some of the external part of the hotel, but not permitted into the hotel (as it is so well-known, so many tourists come here every day and want to enter to visit and take photos). On the day when we were there, we dined at the hotel restaurant and therefore had the opportunity to see around and take pictures. The hotel is super elegant so it would be better to stay quiet inside.
*** Additional info / 附加資料: ***
1) The artistic and decorative Manueline style was developed during the reign of King Manuel I of Portugal (1495–1521) - during the time of the peak of the Age of Discovery (歐洲大航海時代) and when Portugal was a huge world maritime and colonial power. This style is considered the most authentic Portuguese architectural style.
2) The Neo-Manueline style is a revival of the Manueline style. It was developed in Portugal from the mid-19th to the early 20th century. This style adopted the characteristics of the Manueline architectural style.

原來里斯本近郊的Sintra,夜景這麼漂亮呀!
Palácio da Pena, Sintra / Pena Palace, Sintra
© Nuno Trindade Photography
Situa-se a cerca de 4,5 km do centro histórico de Sintra e é o mais completo e belo exemplar da arquitectura portuguesa do Romantismo. A sua edificação data de 1839, altura em que o rei consorte D. Fernando II de Saxe Coburgo-Gotha, adquiriu as ruínas do Mosteiro Jerónimo de Nossa Senhora da Pena para as adaptar a um palacete.
A obra foi dirigida pelo Barão de Eschwege, que se inspirou nos palácios da Baviera, para criar um edifício singular que conjuga influências «wagnerianas» de outros castelos no centro da Europa, com os traços mouriscos e os motivos góticos e manuelinos. Um verdadeiro «palácio de princesas» no cimo da serra de Sintra.
Implantado no topo da serra e fruto do génio criativo de D. Fernando II, o Parque e o Palácio da Pena são o expoente máximo, em Portugal, do Romantismo do séc. XIX, constituindo o mais importante pólo da Paisagem Cultural de Sintra - Património Mundial. Construído a partir de 1839 em torno das ruínas de um antigo Mosteiro Jerónimo erigido no século XVI por D. Manuel I, o Palácio incorpora referências arquitectónicas de influência manuelina e mourisca que produzem um surpreendente cenário “das mil e uma noites”. Em torno do Palácio, o Rei plantou, com espécies vindas de todo o mundo, o Parque da Pena (85ha) que é o mais importante arboreto existente em Portugal.
Depois de visitar a Pena, o compositor Richard Strauss escreveu: “Hoje é o dia mais feliz da minha vida. É a coisa mais bonita que vi! Este é o verdadeiro Jardim de Klingsor – e ali, no alto, ergue-se o Castelo do Santo Graal.”
Hoje é possível desfrutar deste riquíssimo património natural, através de percursos livres ou orientados, numa experiência inesquecível. Para a construção do Palácio foram aproveitadas as ruínas de um convento quinhentista existente no topo da serra, que foi adquirido por D. Fernando II. Este imóvel degradado terá exercido em D. Fernando um enorme fascínio emanado da sua educação germânica que pressupunha a valorização estética das ruínas de acordo com o imaginário romântico da época. O projecto inicial era, apenas, a recuperação do edifício para residência de Verão da família real, muito embora o entusiasmo o tenha levado a decidir-se pela construção de um Palácio.
No parque, a expressão da estética romântica alia a busca do exotismo ao fascínio pela impetuosidade da natureza. Foi por entre caminhos sinuosos que, por iniciativa de D. Fernando II, se deu início à plantação deste parque que compreende um elenco florístico insólito, composto por espécies florestais nativas da Europa, associadas a muitas outras originárias de regiões distantes, em especial da América do Norte, da Ásia e da Nova Zelândia. Ao longo dos percursos e caminhos, sucedem-se as sequóias, as tuias, as faias, as magnólias e as cameleiras que se destacam pela sua imponência, monumentalidade e beleza. Constituem também pontos de referência, nos diversos percursos possíveis através dos trilhos do parque, a Cruz Alta, o Alto de Sto. António, o Alto de Sta. Catarina, a Gruta do Monge, a Fonte dos Passarinhos, a Feteira da Rainha e o Vale dos Lagos. O arvoredo enquadra pavilhões e pequenas edificações que proporcionam viagens no tempo e no espaço, compondo um cenário de inigualável beleza natural, mas também de grande relevância histórica e patrimonial.
National Pena Palace, dating from 1839, is situated about 4,5km from Sintra’s historical centre, on at the top of the Monte da Pena, and is considered to be the most complete and beautiful monument of the Portuguese 19th century Romantic revival architecture.
The Palace was imagined by Dom Fernando of Saxe Coburg-Gotha, who married the queen Dona Maria II in 1836, and completely fell in love with the beautiful Sintra region and bought this property, on the site of an old monastery belonging to the Order of St. Jerome.
The Baron of Eschwege started the construction work, that was inspired in the Baviera palaces, in order to create a singular building that conjugated influences of others castles in the centre of Europe, with the Moorish lines and Gothic and Manueline motif’s, according to the revivalist taste (neo-Gothic, neo-Manueline, neo-Islamic, neo-Renaissance). In the surrounding area, he decided to make a magnificent woodland park in the English style, with a wide variety of exotic tree species.
The Palace interior remains decorated according to the Royal tastes of the princes and Princesses that lived here. Walls decorated with astonishing glazed tiles, trompe d’oeil effects and several design masterpieces, such as the alabaster altarpiece attributed to one of the most important architects, that also contributed to Lisbon's most famous monument: Jerónimos Monastery.
After visiting Pena, the composer Richard Strauss wrote: “Today is the happiest day of my life. It's the most beautiful thing I've seen. This is the true Klingsor Garden – and there, up on high, is the Holy Grail Castle.”

I've always wanted to see the churches of Nam Dinh. In the past heading towards Ninh Binh on the road, the familiar towers and arches of massive gothic style French influenced churches would peak from beyond the horizon, sparking my curiosity. Later on, I saw many pictures of the online. So I knew that one day I had to go see them for myself. And it happened.
The Hanoi Bus Station has quite a few buses in Nam Dinh's direction. In fact, every 15 to 30 minutes or so. I recommend going to a ticket office and buying a ticket first, but be warned that these mini buses still might take their time leaving to pick up more passengers along the way. Remember that. And the buses can be quite hot too.
About 2 and a half hours later I made it to Nam Dinh, got into a cab and checked into my hotel. I rested for about an hour because I was completely exhausted from the early morning flight and the time on the bus. I tried to rent a car and driver with two rental places and they were all either busy or gave some outrageous number. So I contacted the same taxi guy that dropped me off. Then I realized that all of the churches were in the rural province of Nam Dinh and not in the city. This was a shocker because I was planning to see at least ten. In the back of my mind, I kept thinking that they were next to each other, similarly to how Ho Nai in Bien Hoa's mega churches are. I was more than wrong.
All the major churches are far apart from each other. You can ride a motorbike for sure, but it'll take you all day. I only had about 4 hours or so before sunset. So because I didn't know for sure where I was going and the driver wasn't an expert on the churches, we just opted to use the meter instead, which at the end of it was 1.8 million Dong. The first few churches weren't that far from each other, but they weren't on the main road. They are all tucked in little communities off of the side. The last one called Hai Ly or the Ruined Church as the locals call it was quite a ways away from all the other churches.
I was disappointed that I couldn't see more churches. I was also disappointed that pictures made them look more grand and beautiful. But that's photoshop for you. There was also the fact that many of the churches were given a new coat of paint. You see, that's the problem and the double edged sword. These are active churches that people use. So naturally, they have to restore them and improve them. And a new fresh coat of paint is a part of that. Though, I personally would just have left it alone. But that's not the local mindset.
So are the churches still worth checking out? Yes. Give yourself from morning to evening to properly explore them. Some of them are stunning. Their grand size made it impossible to film them completely. The people in the churches were so nice. From my experiences of traveling, church volunteers and visitors have always been nicer to me than temple people. Many of the church construction workers worked for free in the blazing sun. Some of them even invited me to drink some tea with them. They were proud to show off their work, and rightfully so. These churches were beautiful.
The night concluded with a meal of roasted and boiled ducks. The restaurant where I got the food from didn't have any tables left and it was just too loud and dark to make a proper video, so I bought the food back to my hotel restaurant instead. Despite being a draining day, I slept like a baby on the hard rock of a bed and enjoyed my time running around Nam Dinh a lot.
If you're in Ninh Binh. There is absolutely no reason to not stop by Nam Dinh for a day, especially if you believe in Jesus or if you can appreciate Gothic architecture. Nam Dinh is only 40 minutes or so from Ninh Binh after all.
