Seeing that the time was not early, Schaller said, "Okay, let's go and stay first, and I'll take you to the Treetop Hotel." ”

Qin Yan hadn't heard of it, and thought it was just this name, but after he went, he found out that it was really similar.

The treetop inn is built on the side of several towering trees, and the entire house is a wooden structure with as many as three floors.

The designer ingeniously embedded this house in the background of the forest park, which looks very compatible with the forest.

The whole building is hung high in the air, built on these big "tree forks", up and down three floors, all of which are made of trees, and the bottom is more than 10 meters high from the ground, which is safe and can ensure the free passage of wild animals; there is also a spiral ladder for tourists to climb in and out.

The all-wooden structure makes people feel very textured, and the slight creaking sound of stepping on the wooden corridor seems to take people back to the scene of the last century grassland lion hunting.

There is a wall that introduces the history of the hotel, and looking at the old celebrity message records in the display case, it seems that you have entered a museum with a lot of history.

According to the introduction, this hotel is really built "on a tree". At the beginning of the 20th century, the hotel was originally built by Eric Kingbrook Walker, a British military veteran who settled in Kenya for wildlife viewing and hunting, and it is said that the hotel was built on the forks of several tall trees, with only three bedrooms, a dining room and a hunting room.

It's a bit like the "stilted building" as it's commonly called, but it's famous, and it's a great place to see wildlife at night.

At the time, an advertisement in the Nairobi newspaper said, "If you don't see a rhinoceros at night, you'll be charged half the room rate." ”

He even saw a photo on it, with Elizabeth's autograph, there are many people called Elizabeth, but this one is Her Majesty the Queen ****** of England, that is, the current Queen. Here's one of her stories.

In February 1952, Elizabeth, then a British princess, came here to see the wildlife. That night, she stayed at the "Treetop Hotel".

In the evening, she received the sad news of the death of her father, King George VI, and the British royal family immediately announced that she would succeed to the throne as queen, and the next morning she went down the mountain to England to succeed to the throne.

This good story of "the princess of the upper tree, the queen of the lower tree" has been passed down to the present day for more than 50 years. Elizabeth made history as queen at the top of the tree.

That's why people say that the princess is the princess and the queen is the queen, and the hotel is the fairytale hotel in the world.

Everyone in the world knows that there is an extra queen here, but Qin Yan always feels that this should be her sad place, and she is shocked to hear the bad news here, and she has been separated from her father forever...

More than 30 years later, in November 1983, Queen Elizabeth returned to stay overnight at the newly built Treetop Hotel.

Revisiting the old place is extraordinarily cordial. Of course, the hotel is no longer what it used to be, and the shotgun has changed.

Qin Yan's eyes lit up, this hotel is too famous, just this good story of "the princess of the upper tree, the queen of the lower tree" is enough for it to become famous in the world. That is, he didn't know if he hadn't been exposed to this aspect!

As a result, it has become one of the most expensive hotels in Kenya, but the capacity of the Treetop Hotel is not high, the size of 100 people, in the peak season of animal migration, even if you have a lot of money in your pocket, you don't want to stay smoothly, and the advance schedule can sometimes be as long as several months. If it weren't for Schaller's help, he wouldn't have even thought to come in.

When they came here, they went to eat first, and then they saw an amazing scene.

There is a pair of male elephant tusks at the door of the restaurant, placed on a wooden cabinet, the tip of the tooth can reach the roof of the building, almost impossible to press, you can imagine how big this male elephant can be.

Opposite the front of the ivory are a pair of slightly smaller tusks, both of which are of excellent condition and priceless treasures.

Sitting on the chair and looking up, you can see the surrounding primeval forest, and there can be animals from time to time, which makes people feel refreshed.

There are many animals here, mostly African buffalo and pigs, and the hotel staff are sprinkling salt on the fields to attract animals, and people say that they are lucky to see lions hunting animals.

After eating, Charle said, "Otherwise, let's go to the viewing platform above." ”

"Yes, thank you, Doctor. The crowd nodded in unison.

It is worthy of the treetop hotel, in the gap of the corridor, you can still see the stubborn tree branches, with tender green leaves on them, making people feel as if they are in nature and feel happy.

The highest top floor is a large viewing platform where you can easily spot wildlife and the snow-capped waters of Mount Kenya, Africa's second highest peak.

Two large ponds have been built in front of and behind the hotel to attract the surrounding wildlife to drink, and guests can look down and observe their every move from the viewing platform on the top floor.

After watching the animals, I raised my head, opposite the second highest peak in Africa after Kilimanjaro, Mount Kenya at an altitude of 5,199 meters.

Qin Yan was assigned a room, very close to the lake, you can watch the animals come to drink water up close, his view is even better, even if you lie on the bed, you can see wild animals, and there are dozens of elephants still playing there under the window.

According to the introduction, there is a bell in the room, which is connected with the front desk on duty, and the guests will be notified as soon as there is an animal at night, and the bell rings once that the elephant is coming, the rhinoceros is coming when it rings twice, the leopard is coming when it rings three times, and the hyena is coming when it rings four times.

Of course, if you don't want to see animals, you can turn off the alarm and go to sleep.

Excited, he could barely sleep, coincidentally the room he lived in was No. 19, and next door was the queen's room No. 18, foreigners also like 18, the queen was still a princess when she lived in, but she became a queen after coming down.

And in China, 18 is not a good number, for example, the eighteenth layer of hell, I don't know who passed it on, even with the high-rise 18th floor, not many people choose, thinking that it is the eighteenth layer of hell, the problem is that this is in a high place, okay, how can it be hell, heaven is almost the same.

At that time, the princess could watch the animals while drinking coffee in her room.

Now he is the Queen's neighbor, and the only one, because Room 17 is not on this floor. What made Qin Yan sigh was that on the day he stayed, the queen didn't come, otherwise he could say hello to her in the morning and say good night at night, and at night he thought that the queen would sleep warmly together on the bed across the wall, that feeling was more exciting than marrying Lin Chiling here for the wedding night, if two wishes came true at the same time, it must be more exciting than simply realizing one of the wishes alone.
