It’s a must-visit destination for every tourist to Thailand. The Grand Palace showcases the essence of Thai painting, sculpture, and decorative arts. Comprising towering palaces, the Chakri Maha Prasat Throne Hall, the Emerald Buddha Temple, and the Dusit Maha Prasat Hall, the entire complex is an architectural marvel. However, it’s important to note that some parts of the palace are not open to the public, so please abide by the relevant visiting regulations. It serves as the residence of the Thai royal family and the official venue for royal ceremonies. The grandeur of its architecture and meticulous decoration is truly awe-inspiring, making it a must-visit landmark in Bangkok.

  • Wat Arun Ratchawararam, also known as the Temple of Dawn, is a temple dedicated to King Taksin, the 41st monarch of Thailand and a national hero. Situated on the western bank of the Chao Phraya River, this temple faces the reclining Buddha of Wat Pho on the opposite bank. Due to its location, many visitors prefer to arrive by boat on the Chao Phraya River. The majestic pagoda, standing at 79 meters tall, becomes particularly sacred and magical at night. Its spires are adorned with intricate carvings and embellished with colorful ceramic tiles, glass, and shells. Legend has it that it is the first place to catch the morning light, hence its name “Temple of Dawn”. Located on the banks of the Chao Phraya River, it offers a breathtaking sight, especially at sunrise or sunset. The temple’s spires, decorated with vibrant tiles, shimmer in the sunlight, creating a captivating rainbow-like display.

  • The Floating Market: Among them, Damnoen Saduak Floating Market is the most famous and popular. We recommend joining the Bangkok Damnoen Saduak Floating Market + Maeklong Railway Market day tour. The Damnoen Saduak Floating Market still retains the appearance of the traditional floating market, located about 80 kilometers southwest of Bangkok. It gathers the hustle and bustle of Bangkok, suitable for tourists who enjoy early gatherings. The market operates from early morning until 2:00 PM, with the liveliest time being from 7:00 AM to 9:00 AM. Various ingredients piled up on small boats, vendors shouting to attract customers, and the aroma wafting from rudimentary stoves all contribute to the vibrant atmosphere. Rent a small boat and you can navigate through this floating city, immersing yourself in Bangkok’s cultural vibe. Exploring the floating market is a must-do experience in Bangkok. Vendors sell their goods from traditional long-tail boats. The scene is vibrant and colorful, with fruits, handicrafts, and delicious street food.

Opening Hours: 7:00 AM – 2:00 PM

Boat Ticket: 300 Thai Baht

  • Erawan Shrine, also known as the Four-Faced Buddha or the Deity of Fulfillment, is a representation of the Hindu deity Brahma, who is considered the creator god in Hinduism. The term “Erawan” refers to the elephant Airavata, which carries the god Indra in Hindu mythology. The shrine features four faces, each representing different wishes: the front face for business prosperity, the left face for romantic relationships, the right face for good health, and the back face for financial success. It is not located within a temple but instead stands at a street corner in the heart of Bangkok. Legend has it that it was erected after a series of unfortunate events in the vicinity, with the purpose of seeking peace and prosperity. It’s one of the most bustling places for worship in Thailand.

⏰ Opening Hours: 6:00 AM – 10:00 PM 🎫 Admission: Free

  • The Chao Phraya River, located within Thailand, also known as the River of Kings, is the largest and longest river in Thailand. In Thai, “Chao Phraya” refers to the highest noble rank under the Sakdina system during Thailand’s feudal era, hence the name. The Chao Phraya River connects many famous landmarks such as Wat Arun, Wat Pho, and the Grand Palace. Taking a boat cruise on the Chao Phraya River to admire Bangkok’s night scenery is an extremely romantic experience. Evening cruises typically operate from 7:00 PM to 9:30 PM, lasting about 2.5 hours. During the daytime, visitors can explore various attractions such as Asiatique The Riverfront, Chinatown, and Wat Arun by taking public boats. The daytime Chao Phraya River is solemn and quiet, but at night, it becomes enchanting. It’s recommended to take a boat cruise during sunset for a mesmerizing experience.

  • Chinatown: Among the Chinatowns scattered throughout Southeast Asia, Bangkok’s Chinatown stands out as the leader. According to records, there was a large influx of Chinese immigrants to Thailand in the past, especially from the Teochew region. Therefore, the strong Cantonese and Teochew flavors make up the main characteristic of Bangkok’s Chinatown. Additionally, there are countless Michelin-starred restaurants and shops here, guaranteeing a delightful culinary experience. Apart from food, there are also gold shops, pharmacies, and even some Chinese temples. Walking through this area evokes a strong sense of nostalgia. Today, it has become a popular tourist destination for visitors from all over the world, offering cultural experiences and sightseeing opportunities.
  • ICONSIAM – The Ultimate Destination on the Banks of the Chao Phraya River: Can you imagine a mall that encapsulates all of Thailand? That’s ICONSIAM. It’s not just a shopping paradise; it’s a perfect showcase of Bangkok’s lifestyle. ICONSIAM brings together top global fashion brands, traditional Thai arts, leisure entertainment, and a variety of cuisines, making it a new must-visit tourist attraction and commercial landmark in Thailand. Here, you can stroll through the indoor floating market and enjoy panoramic views of the Chao Phraya River from the high-rise observation deck. Unlike typical malls, the CEO of ICONSIAM emphasizes, “Our vision is not just to create a commercial center or shopping mall, but to create a place that fully showcases Thai culture and vitality.” Moreover, the architectural design of ICONSIAM is innovative, blending technology with traditional Thai design, creating multiple smaller structures within a large building, akin to a luxurious Thai art museum. This is definitely one of the malls you must visit! Especially recommended for its nighttime views.
  • Ladyboy or kathoeys Show: Thailand’s reputation as a breathtaking tourist paradise owes much to its unique specialty, the “ladyboys.” Ladyboys are a distinctive feature of Thai culture and are renowned as part of the urban scenery in Thailand. They embody Thailand’s unique cultural charm and are an integral part of Thai cultural expression.
  • Other Attractions: The Siam Station of the Bangkok BTS Skytrain is almost always on the itinerary for visitors because it opens up to Bangkok’s trendiest and most bustling shopping district, Siam Square. Adjacent to the station are department stores like Siam Paragon and Siam Center, creating a lively atmosphere. What’s even more remarkable is that the adventurous Thais have constructed Southeast Asia’s largest aquarium inside the department store – Siam Ocean World. Inside, you’ll find over 30,000 marine creatures, including sharks. Come and explore this marvelous oceanarium!
  • King Power Mahanakhon – Bangkok SkyWalk: This iconic skyscraper is located in the heart of Bangkok’s bustling business district, serving as one of the city’s landmarks. Its exterior presents a pixelated effect (mosaic effect) that spirals around the building, resembling a dazzling jewelry box. At 314 meters high, it features a transparent glass skywalk that provides stunning panoramic views. In addition to the observation deck, King Power Mahanakhon also houses a shopping center, restaurants, hotels, and entertainment facilities, offering visitors a comprehensive shopping and leisure experience.

  • 湄南河(Chao Phraya River): 位于泰国境内,又称昭披耶河,它是泰国河流中水量最大、长度最长的河流。在泰语中“昭披耶”是泰国封建时代萨克迪纳制下最高等级的爵位,故取此名。湄南河连着很多著名的景点,如郑王庙、卧佛寺和大皇宫等。在湄南河上乘坐游船游览曼谷的夜景,是一件浪漫至极的事情。夜游一般在晚上19:00-21:30,约2.5小时。白天游览可以乘坐公交船,游览各种景点如暹罗天地、唐人街和郑王庙等。白天的湄南河是庄严的、是寂静的,但是夜晚确让人着迷。推荐晚上日落的游船。

Public Riverboats: Many Bangkok attractions are along the Chao Phraya River, making public riverboats a convenient option. Central Pier (Sathorn Pier) serves as a hub, with routes divided into north and south directions. The piers are named with N for northbound and S for southbound, followed by a number indicating the distance from Central Pier.

Types of riverboats include:

泰国交通攻略

曼谷市内有以下交通方式:

  • 地铁(MRT)。蓝色线,包括多个站点,如Siam站,可直达市中心的主要景点。12
  • 轻轨(BTS)。深绿色为Silom线,浅绿色为Sukhumvit线,两条线在Siam站交汇,可方便地换乘。

地铁MRT和轻轨BTS,设施新也有英文标识,不容易迷路,也能通达市内大部分景点. 车上的到站显示只显示前5站的站名。

购票方法:
一、人工窗口:选择你要去的站点,记住名字或者编号,外语不是特别流畅的可以拍照下来给工作人员看。
二、自动售票机
首先切换成英语显示,在屏幕上选择你要去的站点,就会出现金额,然后你可以选择纸钞,也可以选择投硬币。最后会拿到一张像卡片一样的票。具体操作见下。

纸币最大只能100泰铢,大额去人工窗口买票

地铁运营时间

最早一班车是早上6点20分

最后一班车是晚上23点20-40分(取决于上车的站点)

  • 机场快速铁路。连接素万那普国际机场,提供快捷的交通方式。13
  • 公交船。曼谷景点大多位于湄南河两岸,搭乘公交船也是非常便捷的。以Central Pier(Sathorn Pier)中心,线路分为南、北两个方向,向北的线路以N开头,往南的线路以S开头,码头也N和S以此命名,字母后面的数字越大,码头距Central Pier越远

    主要景点与码头:
    N5码头 Rachawongse:唐人街
    N9码头 Tha Chang:大皇宫
    N13码头:考山路
    S3码头 Wat Chayawat:河畔夜市

各式公交船以船上的旗子颜色作为区分,速度、价格和停靠码头都有区别,上船前先看清楚:

▶慢船:无旗帜,仅在早晚高峰时运行(6:45—7:30、16:00—16:30),每个码头都会停,速度慢

▶普通船:橙色旗子,6:00—19:00运营,从S3到N30码头,不停小站,大部分著名景点都会停靠,是游客的首选航线

▶快船:绿色旗子,周一至周五6:10—8:10、16:06—18:05运营,线路是从中央码头到N30码头,只停靠大站(景点只停靠N5和N9)

▶特快船:黄色旗子,周一至周五6:15—8:20、16:00—20:00运营,停靠站少,主要是往返曼谷城南北的上班族和居民搭乘

▶游览船:蓝色旗子,9:30—16:00运营,一天内可无限次搭乘,专门为游客设计的,每半小时一班,白天运行

  • TaxiGrab,inDrive, Bolt。在曼谷市区内有很多Taxi,最大的问题是对游客不打表,漫天要价问题,或者要乘客付过路费。如果司机不愿打表要先讲好价钱,一般从机场到市区大概400-500泰铢。Grab泰版滴滴/Uber,是一种性价比高的交通方式。地铁、轻轨和公交船不到的地方很推荐打grab,价格不贵,也不用担心乱打表.唯一的缺点是有时要等很长时间。 inDrive, Bolt和Grab类似,但只收现金。
  •  tuk-tuk车。Tuk-tuk是泰国的一种三轮摩托车出租车,通常会在旅游景点和火车站等地方出现。Tuk-tuk价格相对于出租车要贵一些,但是它可以让您更好地体验泰国的文化和生活方式。在使用tuk-tuk前,请确保您已经和司机商量好价格,并且确认目的地和价格。
  • 公交车:不推荐,没有报站,游客很容易坐过站,而且公交车没有空调.

注:因为泰国公交公司各自为政,购买一日卡或多次使用的交通卡意义不大。

普吉岛交通
虽然普吉岛不像曼谷一样有BTS🚉和MTR🚇,但是普吉岛的交通方式也是非常丰富便捷的

普吉岛的交通主要分为机场到市区和普吉岛岛上交通

✅机场到市区的交通方式:
👉🏻机场巴士➕智能巴士➕小巴➕出租车

路线会经过许多游客聚集的卡马拉海滩、巴东海滩、卡伦海滩等,非常方便,而且可以使用曼谷BTS用的兔子卡
3️⃣小巴 Mini Bus
机场巴士或是普吉智能巴士虽然便宜,但并没有送到酒店的服务,如果不想拖着行李走到酒店,又想省钱的话可以选择小巴
4️⃣出租车
机场出租车分为跳表和讲价,在机场柜台可讲价的,离开航站大楼右转走到底,看到桥下红色和黄色的出租车牌就是跳表的
✅普吉岛岛上交通:
👉🏻巴士➕双条车➕嘟嘟车➕出租车➕摩托车➕打车➕包车➕租车
1️⃣巴士
主要就是机场巴士和智能巴士,和上面的机场到市区交通差不多

3️⃣嘟嘟车Tuk Tuk
普吉岛的Tuk Tuk大部分是红色或黄色,上车记得先议价,确定价格

Kenya & Tanzania with Serengeti: A Safari Journey

Best Viewing Times:

The East African animal migration occurs annually from late June to mid-October, with the peak period generally from mid-July to mid-August. July to August: This is the peak period of the animal migration in Kenya, with millions of wildebeest and zebras pouring into the Maasai Mara Reserve, crossing rivers and grasslands, making it an excellent time to observe the migration. October: In early October, animal groups begin to leave the Maasai Mara Reserve and return to the Serengeti National Park in Tanzania. During this period, you can see a large number of migrating animals crossing rivers.

Note: Animal migration actually occurs in a continuous cycle throughout the year, so any season is suitable for visiting Africa. However, different seasons offer different views of animals and landscapes. Here are some recommended time periods for better value:

✅ March-April: Calving Season – Miniature Wildebeest During this time, the wildebeest herds will stop and give birth in the short grass plains of the southeastern Serengeti, with over 500,000 wildebeest calves being born. There’s a great opportunity to witness carnivores hunting. Coinciding with the spring festival, it’s an absolute delight to visit the Serengeti with your family! ❗ Focus on: Southern Ndutu area ⚠️ Note: The Ndutu area mainly consists of movable tented camps.

✅ Late May: Off-peak Season – Ngorongoro Crater Just in time for a short holiday, it’s a good time to visit Tanzania, avoiding the traditional peak season. Passing through the Grumeti River, Ngorongoro is unusually beautiful and a well-kept secret for travelers. With fewer people, you can enjoy the vast grassland, witness sunrise and sunset, and even enjoy luxury hotels at half price. ❗ Focus on: Ngorongoro Crater and the endless sea of flowers ⚠️ Note: The crater rim has a high altitude, so bring lightweight down jackets.

✅ July-August: Migration Season – Crossing the River (Crowded) This is the climax of the animal migration, with thousands of wildebeest crossing the river. Experienced guides also seize the opportunity to secure prime viewing spots. This is the peak tourist season, so naturally, costs are higher, especially for popular hotels, which often need to be booked six months to a year in advance. ❗ Focus on: Northern Serengeti/Mara River area ⚠️ Note: Peak season means more people; poor road conditions; and a lot of dust.

✅ October: Migration Off-peak Season – Crossing the River (Less Crowded) The wildebeest herds return south to the Serengeti, with a higher chance of seeing them crossing the river. With fewer tourists than in July and August, there are also fewer safari vehicles, providing a better experience. ❗ Focus on: Northern Serengeti area ⚠️ Note: You can see river crossings in early October, but in the latter part of the month, it depends on luck.

Best Viewing Locations:

  1. Maasai Mara National Reserve: As Kenya’s most famous wildlife sanctuary, Maasai Mara National Reserve is undoubtedly the prime location for observing the animal migration. With its open terrain, vast grasslands, and diverse range of animals, it’s an excellent place for capturing wildlife and natural landscapes.
  2. Serengeti Plains: Although located within Tanzania, the Serengeti Plains are closely linked to the Maasai Mara Plains and serve as the starting point for the animal migration. Here, visitors can experience the migration atmosphere in advance and admire natural scenery different from that of Maasai Mara.

Migration Overview:

With millions of wildebeest, hundreds of thousands of zebras, and gazelles forming massive herds, they migrate north from the Serengeti Reserve in Tanzania to the Maasai Mara National Reserve in Kenya, covering over 3,000 kilometers. Along the way, they must traverse the ambushes of lions and leopards in the grasslands, beware of scavenging hyenas, and the crocodiles congregating on the banks of the narrow Mara River, all preparing to share in the impending feast.

Upon reaching their destination, due to climate changes, just two to three months later, this expeditionary force of over two million herbivores will once again tirelessly seek out green grass and return to the Serengeti. In this migration of millions, only 30% of the lucky ones can return to their place of departure, and along with them, there are 400,000 newborn lives born during the perilous journey.

Migration Animals:

The herds participating in the migration are divided into “front, middle, and rear armies.” Leading the charge are over 200,000 wild zebras, followed by over a million wildebeest, and trailing behind are around 500,000 gazelles. Since zebras prefer to eat tall grass, which is the food of wildebeest, and the lower grass is the delicacy of the shorter gazelles, each benefits from the other’s foraging habits. Following the herbivores, there are packs of fierce carnivores such as African lions, cheetahs, and hyenas.

Zebras: There are around 300,000 zebras, which prefer to eat tall grass, namely the tops of grass stems.

Wildebeest: Over 1.5 million wildebeest graze behind zebras, consuming the lower parts of grass nibbled by zebras.

Within the vast migration procession in Africa, wildebeest stand out as the main protagonists due to their absolute numerical advantage and are also the representative species of the Great Migration. Wildebeest, also known as gnu, are large antelopes that inhabit the African savannah. They are classified as near-threatened species. Wildebeest belong to the bovid family, subfamily Alcelaphinae, genus Connochaetes, and there are two species: the white-bearded wildebeest and the blue wildebeest. The blue wildebeest, also known as the common wildebeest, is the most familiar to us, exhibiting migratory behavior according to the seasons.

Wildebeest primarily feed on grass and young shoots. During the July to September dry season in Africa, wildebeest must migrate in search of fresh grass. During the nearly 3,000-kilometer Great Migration in Africa, there are numerous dangers, and approximately 250,000 wildebeest are estimated to die. However, despite this, wildebeest continue this endless cycle of migration between Tanzania and Kenya, gathering in large groups for long-distance trekking and river crossings.

Gazelles: Approximately 500,000 gazelles are the rearguard of the herds. After the wildebeest leave, the grasslands reveal freshly grown grass, which becomes the delicacy of the trailing gazelles.

If you’re lucky, you may also see the African elephant migration, where even young elephants, just born, must endure the harsh tests of nature. Many weak elephants that can’t keep up with the herd are destined to be eliminated by the rule of natural selection.

Or the mischievous honey badger, which is relatively common in Africa, is known as the “ballet dancer of the African savannah” and is considered one of the most amusing animals on the savannah. They are highly alert and territorial, and are very social animals, migrating multiple times a year if food becomes scarce.

In addition to the Great Migration, there are also other attractions in Tanzania such as:

  • The “Eighth Wonder of the World,” the Ngorongoro Crater, which is a paradise for wildlife.
  • The endless plains of the Serengeti, one of the “Top Ten Natural Wonders of the World.”
  • Tarangire National Park, the “Elephant’s Paradise,” with forests of baobab trees.
  • Mount Kilimanjaro, the “Roof of Africa.”
  • Lake Manyara, the “World’s Most Adorable Place,” a bird paradise.

东非动物大迁徙

最佳观赏时间:

东非动物大迁徙时间是每年的6月底至10月中,一般7月中旬至8月中旬是迁徙活动的高峰期。七月至八月:这是肯尼亚动物大迁徙的高峰期,数以百万计的角马和斑马涌入马赛马拉保护区,穿越河流和草原,是观赏迁徙的绝佳时机。十月:在十月初,动物群体开始离开马赛马拉保护区,返回坦桑尼亚的塞伦盖蒂国家公园。这段时期可以看到大量的迁徙动物穿越河流。

注:动物大迁徙其实是全年循环往复进行,所以一年四季都适合去非洲,但不同的季节去,看到的动物和景色都不一样,整理了几个性价比更高的时间段,可供参考。

✅2-3月:动物产仔季-迷你小角马
角马大军会在塞伦盖蒂东南部的短草平原停留、产子,超50万头小角马降生,有很大机会看到食肉动物捕猎。
恰逢春节,举家出游,塞伦盖蒂绝对是一场惊喜之旅!
❗游玩重心:南部恩都图区域
⚠️提示:恩都图区域多为可移动帐篷酒店。

✅5月下旬:淡季捡漏季-恩戈罗恩戈罗火山
刚好小长假,也是到访坦桑的好时机,避开了传统旺季,大部队过格鲁美地河,恩戈罗美得不同寻常,是旅行者不轻易透露的私藏。人少,独享整片草原,包揽朝阳日落,还可以半价享受奢华酒店。
❗游玩重心:恩戈罗恩戈罗火山口与漫天花海
⚠️提示:火山口海拔较高,需要带上轻薄的羽绒。

✅7-8月:迁徙季-天国之渡(人多)
是动物大迁徙的高潮,成千上万头角马赶着渡河,经验丰富的黑导也会把握时机,抢占观赏“机位”,此时是旅游旺季,费用自然不会低,特别是受欢迎的酒店,往往需要提前半年,甚至一年预定房间。
❗游玩重心:塞伦盖蒂北部/马拉河区域
⚠️提示:旺季人多;路况不好;灰尘多

✅10月:迁徙捡漏季-天国之渡(人少)
角马群向南返回塞伦盖蒂,看到角马过河概率大。
比七八月的游客少,游猎车也少,体验更好。
❗游玩重心:塞伦盖蒂北部区域
⚠️提示:10月上旬可看到过河,下旬要看运气

最佳观赏地点:

1.       马赛马拉国家公园:作为肯尼亚最著名的野生动物保护区,马赛马拉国家公园无疑是观赏动物大迁徙的首选之地。这里地势开阔,草原广阔,动物种类繁多,是拍摄野生动物和自然景观的绝佳场所。

2.       塞伦盖蒂草原:虽然位于坦桑尼亚境内,但塞伦盖蒂草原与马赛马拉草原紧密相连,是动物大迁徙的起点。在这里,游客可以提前感受迁徙的氛围,并欣赏到不同于马赛马拉的自然风光。:发生在坦桑尼亚的塞伦盖蒂草原和肯尼亚的马赛马拉草原之间,是野生动物为寻求水源和食草进行的规律性年度迁移活动。马赛马拉国家公园是世界最大的野生哺乳动物家园,拥有95种哺乳动物和450种鸟类,游客可以在这里观赏到成群的斑马、长颈鹿、羚羊和转角牛羚等动物

注:🦓动物大迁徙主要发生在肯尼亚与坦桑尼亚的交界处——马拉河。很多人都觉得看大迁徙要到肯尼亚去,但其实🔥马拉河有2/3都在坦桑尼亚的塞伦盖蒂,因此在坦桑尼亚看动物大迁徙才是ZUI适合的。

迁徙概况:

百万头的角马,数十万计的斑马、羚羊组成声势浩大的队伍,从坦桑尼亚的塞伦盖蒂保护区北上,终点是肯尼亚的马赛马拉国家公园,跋涉3000多公里。与此同时,途中不仅要穿越狮子、豹埋伏的草原,提防随时有可能出没的狗以及在狭窄的马拉河两畔聚集的鳄鱼,这些食肉动物准备分享即将到来的盛宴。

当到达终点之后,由于气候的变化,短短两三个月之后,这200多万只食草野生动物组成的远征大军将再次不辞辛苦的追寻青草返回塞伦盖蒂。在这数以百万计的迁徙队伍中,只有30%的幸运者能够回到出发地,而跟随它们一起回来的,还有40万在惊险旅途中诞生的新生命。

迁徙动物:

参加大迁徙的兽群分为前中后“三军”;打头阵的是20多万匹野斑马,紧跟其后的是百万头角马,垫后的是50万只瞪羚。因为斑马喜食高层新草,中层嫩草正好是角马的食物,而底层短草便是个头矮小的瞪羚的美味了。紧跟食草动物之后,便是成群结队的非洲狮猎豹、豺狗等凶猛食肉动物。

斑马:是 30 万头左右斑马,最喜欢长草,也就是吃草茎顶部。

角马:是超过 150 万头的角马。在走在斑马后面,吃斑马啃过的草的底部。

在非洲大迁徙的巨大队伍中,角马以绝对数量优势更成为主角的主角,也是大迁徙的代表性物种。角马,也叫牛羚,是一种生活在非洲草原上的大型羚羊。属于为珍稀濒危动物角马属牛科狷羚亚科角马属,共有两种,白尾角马斑纹角马。斑纹角马,也是统称的角马,也叫黑斑牛羚,是我们最熟悉的随着季节迁徙的习性的角马。

角马主要食物为青草和嫩枝,7月-9月的非洲旱季,角马为寻找新鲜草料,不得不迁徙,在长达近3000公里的非洲大迁徙过程中,杀机四伏,危险重重,大约会有25万只角马死去,但角马依然乐此不疲,新生的小角马都会加入往返坦桑尼亚和肯尼亚之间这永无止境的循环,聚众长途跋涉,涉水迁徙。

蹬羚:约50万只,是军团的压阵官。角马离开后,草地上露出刚刚长出的嫩草,正是后面蹬羚的美食。

幸运的话还会看到非洲大象迁徙,就连刚出生不久的小象也要经受大自然残酷的考验,很多跟不上队伍的弱象,只有被大自然优胜劣汰的法则淘汰的命运。

或者古灵精怪的猫鼬,在非洲,猫鼬是比较常见的动物,被称为“非洲草原上的芭蕾舞者”,也被认为是非洲草原上最有“喜感”的动物,它的警觉性和领地性很强,是非常社会化的群居动物,如果食物耗尽,猫鼬群会一年迁移多次。

除了动物大迁徙,在坦桑尼亚还可以去哪玩❓

How to control PowerPoint slide show speed?

In PowerPoint, you can control the speed of your slideshow presentation in a few different ways:

Manual Control during Presentation: During your slideshow, you can manually control the pace by clicking your mouse, pressing the spacebar, or using the arrow keys on your keyboard to advance to the next slide. This method allows you to present at your preferred speed, pausing when necessary to elaborate on points or interact with your audience.

Set Slide Transition Timing: PowerPoint allows you to set specific timing for slide transitions. This means that each slide will automatically advance after a certain amount of time. Here’s how to set slide transition timing:

Select the slide you want to set the timing for.
Go to the “Transitions” tab on the PowerPoint ribbon.
In the Timing group, enter the desired time in the “After” box. This represents the number of seconds you want the slide to display before automatically advancing to the next one.
Repeat this process for each slide if you want them all to advance automatically.
Custom Animation: You can also control the timing of individual elements within a slide using custom animation. This allows you to reveal text, images, or other content on the slide in a sequential manner. Here’s how to apply custom animation:

Select the element you want to animate.
Go to the “Animations” tab on the PowerPoint ribbon.
Choose the desired animation effect from the list.
To control the timing, click on the “Animation Pane” button to open the Animation Pane.
In the Animation Pane, you can drag the animation effects up or down to change the order, and you can adjust the duration by clicking on the drop-down arrow next to the animation effect and selecting “Timing.”
By using these methods, you can effectively control the speed of your PowerPoint slideshow presentation to match your preferences and the needs of your audience.
