Dubai Miracle Garden 迪拜奇跡花園

張默妍

The Dubai Miracle Garden is properly2 named considering that—like pretty much everything in the Middle Eastern city—it was built on desert land. Being as the worlds largest natural flower garden， the 72，000-square-meter attraction3 has more than 60 million flowers on display. Located in Dubailand near the Arabian Ranches， it opened on Valentines Day in 2013 and now attracts up to 1.5 million visitors a year.

迪拜奇跡花園的名字恰如其分，就像中東城市的所有東西一樣，它是建在沙漠上的。作為世界上最大的自然花田，這72000平方米的景點(diǎn)向人們展示了6000多萬(wàn)朵鮮花。迪拜奇跡花園位于阿拉伯牧場(chǎng)附近的迪拜園，于2013年情人節(jié)開(kāi)放，如今每年吸引了150萬(wàn)游客。

It is one of a kind in the region and in the world for such a unique display and extravagant4 outdoor recreational5 destination. Miracle Garden in its First Phase is providing state of the art services and facilities including open parking， VIP parking， sitting areas， prayer room， toilet blocks， bathing facility， security room， first aid room， carts for handicapped visitors， retails and commercial kiosk and all other related services available to facilitate visitors.

這是該地區(qū)以及世界上獨(dú)一無(wú)二的景觀，也是奢華的戶外休閑旅游目的地之一?！捌孥E花園”的第一期提供了藝術(shù)服務(wù)和一系列設(shè)施，包括開(kāi)放式停車場(chǎng)、貴賓停車場(chǎng)、休息區(qū)、祈禱室、衛(wèi)生間、洗浴設(shè)施、保安室、急救室、殘疾人游客推車、零售亭和商業(yè)亭以及其他方便游客的相關(guān)服務(wù)。

The garden structures are changed every season to ensure6 repeat visitors get a different experience each time they go. Highlights have included a life-size replica7 of the Emirates Airbus A380， which received the Guinness Book of World Records “l(fā)argest floral installation8” title in 2016. “People get tired of malls， closed places，” Abdel Nasser Y. Rahhal， the man behind the attraction， told us. “I hope people will understand that this country is not only for extremes in concrete and steel. This country is given beautiful weather for seven months...with a little care， you can get a really beautiful production.”

花田的布局每一個(gè)季節(jié)都會(huì)變化，以保證回頭客們每次都有不同的體驗(yàn)。這其中的亮點(diǎn)包括一個(gè)真實(shí)大小的阿聯(lián)酋國(guó)際航空公司空客A380的復(fù)制品，它在2016年獲得了吉尼斯世界紀(jì)錄的“最大花卉安置所”的稱號(hào)?！叭藗儏捑肓讼褓?gòu)物中心這類封閉的地方，”花園的主辦人阿卜杜勒·納賽爾·Y·拉哈爾告訴我們?！拔蚁Ｍ藗兡芰私獾轿覀冞@個(gè)國(guó)家不僅僅是在混凝土和鋼鐵方面做得最好。這個(gè)國(guó)家還有長(zhǎng)達(dá)七個(gè)月的和煦天氣……只要稍加留心，你就能收獲一次非凡的感官體驗(yàn)?！?/p>

Flowers are preserved by re-using waste water through drip irrigation9. The gardens are closed during Dubais hot summer months， with average temperatures 40℃ from June to September. However， the garden is also home to the regions first indoor butterfly garden and sanctuary10， Dubai Butterfly Garden， which is open all year round.

花園里的花都是通過(guò)循環(huán)使用廢水的滴灌技術(shù)來(lái)培植的。在迪拜眾所周知的酷夏月份中，即平均氣溫高達(dá)40攝氏度的6月到9月里，該花園是關(guān)閉的。然而，這個(gè)花園也是該地區(qū)首個(gè)室內(nèi)蝴蝶花園和保護(hù)區(qū)——迪拜蝴蝶園的所在地，該蝴蝶園全年開(kāi)放。
