活力之城-奥斯汀-奥斯汀,德克萨斯州

活力之城-奥斯汀-奥斯汀,德克萨斯州

德克萨斯州州府——奥斯汀。它距离休斯敦近300公里，车程近3小时。州府，与休斯敦比起来，奥斯汀的城区小多了，它比圣安东尼奥都要小。这是美国和国内的不同，首都或州府的城市规模往往不大，只是政治中心而已，不会集中多个功能于一身。城市规模比较小，它是欧式的、精致的小都会?其实，完全不是的。这是在德州，松散开阔是德州城市的基本特点。

如果你到了德州，就会发现-这里,城市的建筑零星错落，东一块,西一块，这一簇,那一簇。走在这条街上，你感觉身处繁华都市；还没回过味来，也许下一条街，你就好像到了城乡结合部；再下一条街,又仿佛置身郊外田园；再多走几步，才发现:你压根就没出市区。总之，德州的城市面貌缺乏整体感，也许,一切都在发展中，尚未定型，或者,土地实在太多，没必要高密度建设。

奥斯汀的城区与人流量,明显比休斯敦集中多了，热闹多了，远不是东西海岸那种老派的美国都市风格，缺乏连贯性的景观，不耐看。比如,从夜夜笙歌的东六街（酒吧一条街）,转到Red River，就错觉:是从城区,到了郊区。

奥斯汀,热。大家常说,休斯敦炎热，其实,奥斯汀比休斯敦闷热多了。休斯敦虽然热，因临海,又是平原，风大,且凉，只要不暴露在烈日底下，感觉还是比较干爽舒适的。奥斯汀则不然，它位于丘陵地带，城区高低起伏，一个个小区域,宛若盆地，风吹不进来，热气也散不出去，几乎一点风都没有，真是闷热难耐。即使晚上,走在街上,也感觉-热得很不舒服，大概到深夜11点后,才能凉下来。

有两个原因加重了奥斯汀的热：一是,闹市区树木稀少，到处都是明晃晃、白花花的阳光，很少见到休斯敦那样成排的大橡树；二是,奥斯汀市中心的摩天大楼不多，高楼,也不集中，无法遮挡阳光

晒下来，比在夏威夷或泰国都黑。

奥斯汀以夜生活丰富著称，白天街上行人少，那些著名的酒吧街,显得格外寂静。

奥斯汀的其他方面都非常好。奥斯汀有几个特点,比较闻名：它是现场音乐之都（Live Music Capital of the World）、高科技企业汇集地（如戴尔、IBM、英特尔、惠普、摩托罗拉、三星、苹果等，有硅丘Silicon Hill之称）、大学城（人口不过百万上下，学生超过10万名了）、宜居城市（常年被评为全美国最适合居住城市之一、适合单身人士城市之一、最酷城市之一、最健美城市之一、最健康城市之一、最佳找工城市之一,等等），以特立独行、标新立异而知名。奥斯汀与众不同,是此地居民共同的信仰。

这是一座属于音乐人士、时尚人士、IT人士、单身人士和年轻学生的城市，这是一座洋溢着青春活力的城市，酒吧、演奏场地林立，每个周末,都仿佛是狂欢节；到处是年青人，在街上,你几乎看不见40岁以上的人，老年人,更是不常见。在这里，低调、淡定,是不受欢迎的，也没有高调这回事，大家都很高调，唯恐自己被Out,或者平庸。每个人都打扮得花枝招展、亮闪闪的，随时,有古怪造型的人或车,与你擦肩而过。如果你很小众、趣味怪异，在这里,大可放松心态，谁也不会对你侧目而视。如果你有什么奇装异服，别忘了，带到奥斯汀来穿。

奥斯汀是一座非常适合户外活动的城市，有许多带状的公园，适合慢跑和骑车。城内有河——市区被科罗拉多河分成南,北两部分，你可以在河里,划独木舟、皮划艇、钓鱼、看夕阳；城内有泉——zilker park & barton springs pool,西距congress桥,仅一英里，在清澈可见水草的泉水池中游泳,是奥斯汀人的一大享受；城外有湖——城市西边,接连6个高地湖泊，可以进行水上运动，如,冲浪、潜水、帆船、快艇，可以在湖边的林间野餐烧烤。因为有水，整个城市的面貌,生动活泼多了。

更迷人之处是，奥斯汀城内,城外,野花遍地。5月底,已过了最盛期，奥斯汀的路旁、草间、树下,依然小花处处。略微可惜的是，奥斯汀的人文景点不太多，博物馆的收藏,也不丰富，壮观的州议会大厦,可与华盛顿的国会大厦媲美。

在奥斯汀，参观德州议会大厦、德州历史博物馆、奥斯汀艺术博物馆、德州大学；在Travis湖野餐、在zilker泉水公园游泳、在科罗拉多河畔看蝙蝠未遂；在congress路、东六街、red river路的酒吧、餐厅,出出入入；在滑铁卢公园、domain区闲逛。住喜来登酒店，信用卡积分换，完全免费，俩人,4天,吃喝玩乐+油费+购物总花费,300多元。这一趟短途游，很满意。

德州议会大厦（Texas State Capitol）是美国最高的州立首府大厦，比华盛顿国会大厦,还要高七英呎。

圣安东尼奥旅游景点

Riverwalk:圣安东尼奥河流经市区，河面低于街道十余呎。原先这条河,经常泛滥,1920年代初,一位建筑师向市政府提出一个治理方案，治理的目标,不光是要防止河水泛滥,而且,要把河边变成一个可以散步游玩的场所.因为,费用过高,很多人反对他的方案,在经过长时间的论证后,才得以采纳.现在,市中心的河滨步道(Riverwalk),成为圣安东尼奥的代名词,大量游客,都是因它而来。河两岸,遍布各种风味的餐馆和酒吧。旅游季节,这里游人如织，傍晚,在河边,听着民间艺人演奏的音乐,就餐,非常惬意。

河边,有常年驻唱的秘鲁民间乐队,他们的演出,免费的,游人会购买他们录制的音乐CD($15一张),以及南美的民间乐器.

阿拉莫(The Alamo):1724年,传教士在今天阿拉莫博物馆所在的地方,建立了圣安东尼奥·德·瓦莱罗传教站(Misión San Antonio de Valero)。 西班牙的世俗化运动使得传教站,在1793年被废弃。19世纪初，一支西班牙骑兵部队进驻了这里，将此作为营地，阿拉莫之名,就来源于此：这支
部队的士兵,都来自墨西哥城市阿拉莫·德·帕拉斯Alamo de Parras)。

在墨西哥独立战争（1815-1821）中，起义的墨西哥人占领了这座要塞。1835年10月2日的德克萨斯动乱之后，12月，一群美国拓荒者占领了阿拉莫,并开始加强防御。

1836年3月2日,德克萨斯由于蓄奴问题,宣布从墨西哥独立，成立德克萨斯共和国。由前田纳西州州长-山姆·休斯顿(Sam Houston)担任总统,并亲自担任军事总指挥。墨西哥将军暨独裁者-桑塔·安(Santa Anna)率军7000人,前来镇压独立运动，休斯顿命令他手下200名-成分复杂的军人,暂时先撤退到阿拉莫固守。不久,被人数大大占优的墨西哥军队包围。

阿拉莫城中,当时的指挥,是27岁的威廉·塔拉维斯中校，40岁的冒险家-詹姆斯·鲍文和50岁的战争英雄及政
治家-大卫·克洛科特。经过13天伤亡惨重的攻城战，墨西哥军队终于占领了阿拉莫，所有男性抵抗者,均被处死，妇女和儿童得到赦免。

3个星期后，以”记住阿拉莫”（Remember the Alamo!)为战斗口号的德克萨斯军队,在山姆·休斯顿的指挥下,在San Jacinto河边,取得了决定性的胜利，桑塔·安那被俘虏。德克萨斯因此在之后的几年中,保持了独立,并在1845年,加入美利坚合众国。直到今天，阿拉莫之战,依然被视作美国陆军历史上的神话，被美国人认为是-自由意志下勇气和牺牲精神的象征。阿拉莫博物馆,每年有多达二百五十万的参观者。

Vibrant city – Austin – Austin, Texas

The state capital, the state of Texas – Austin. It is located in Houston near 300 km, the journey of nearly three hours. The state capital, compared with Houston, the city of Austin, more than San Antonio, it should be small. This is the United States and the different, the scale of capital or state capital city is often not only the political center does not focus on the multiple functions in one. City size is relatively small, it is European, fine will be? In fact, not at all. This is in Texas, loose open the basic characteristics of the Texas cities.

If you go to Texas, you will find – here, the city’s buildings scattered scattered, East one, West one, this cluster of that tuft. Walking in the street, you feel living in the heart of the city; have not been back to taste, maybe the next street, you like to the urban fringe; the next street, and feel like being in the outskirts of pastoral; one more step , only to find: you never even the urban areas. In short, the urban landscape of Texas, the lack of overall sense, perhaps, all in the development has not been established, or, the land is too many, no need for high-density construction.

Austin, the city and the flow of people, significantly more than Houston to focus much more lively, urban style is far from the east and west coasts of the old school, the lack of continuity of the landscape, not engaging. For example, and night and complains of East Sixth Street (Bar Street), go to the Red River, on the illusion: from the city to the suburbs.

Austin, heat. We often say that Houston is hot, in fact, Austin, Houston sultry more. Houston, although the heat, due to coastal plains, the wind, and cold, as long as not exposed to under the hot sun, I feel it is quite dry and comfortable. Austin is not the case, it is located in the foothills of the city ups and downs, a small area, like a basin, the wind does not come in, the heat also scattered out, almost a little wind, was unbearably hot. Even at night, walking down the street, but also feel – the heat is very uncomfortable, probably late at night after 11:00, in order to cool down.

There are two reasons increased the Austin heat: First, the scarcity of downtown trees, everywhere shining, the shining white of the sun, you rarely see Houston as the rows of large oak; downtown Austin skyscraper few , tall buildings, do not focus, can not block the sun

Sun down, the black than in Hawaii or Thailand.

Austin nightlife, daytime pedestrians on the street, the famous Bar Street is particularly silent.

Austin is very good. Austin has a few characteristics, relatively well-known: it is the live music (Live Music Capital of the World), high-tech enterprise gathering place (such as Dell, IBM, Intel, Hewlett-Packard, Motorola, Samsung, Apple, etc., silicon Confucius Silicon Hill is known), University City (population but one million of the up and down, students more than 100,000.) Livable City (perennial was named America’s most livable cities, and cities for a single person, one of the coolest cities one of the most fit city, one of the healthiest cities, best to find one of the working city, etc.), maverick, maverick known. Austin different, the common belief is here and residents.

This is the one belonging to the musicians, fashion people, IT people, single people and young students, city, this is a city filled with youthful vigor, bars, concert venues everywhere, every weekend, like the carnival; full of young people in the street, you could hardly see more than 40 years of age, the elderly, it is not common. Here, low-key, calm, is unpopular, there is no high-profile thing, everyone is a high-profile, for fear of being Out, or mediocre. Everyone dressed gorgeously, shiny, at any time, the odd shape of people or vehicles pass you by. If you are a small congregation, fun weird here, they can relax the mind, nor will you startling and visually. If you have any fancy dress, do not forget to bring Austin to wear.

Austin is a city that is ideal for outdoor activities, many ribbon park, suitable for jogging and cycling. The city has a river – the urban areas by the Colorado River is divided into two parts of North and South, in the river, canoeing, kayaking, fishing, watch the sunset; city Springs – zilker park & ​​barton springs the pool, the West away from the congress bridge, only one mile, in a clear and visible weeds spring pool swimming, a great enjoyment of the people of Austin; outside Lake – west of the city, a series of six highland lakes, water sports such as surfing, diving, sailing, boats, lake forest picnic barbecue. Because there is water in the face of the entire city, lively.

More charm, Austin city, the city, and wild flowers everywhere. The end of May, have passed peak, between Austin-street, grass, trees, still flowers everywhere. Slightly Unfortunately, Austin’s cultural attractions are not too many, the museum’s collection, nor rich, magnificent State Capitol, can be comparable with the Capitol in Washington.

, Visit the Texas State Capitol, Texas History Museum, Austin Museum of Art, University of Texas in Austin; in the Travis Lake picnic in zilker spring water park swimming in the Colorado River to see the bats attempted; the bar in the congress Road, East Sixth Street, the red river road , restaurants, and out into; in Waterloo Park, domain stroll. Live in Sheraton Hotel, credit card points for a completely free, two of the four days, eat, drink + fuel costs + purchase will cost 300 yuan. This trip excursion, very satisfied.
