bluecrane[Transportation] You can only take a taxi or charter a car. It feels like in the countryside of the mountains, and there are sometimes no signals on the road. You can pack a day and remove the main attractions in Goa (Old Town, Three or Four Beaches, Farms, Aquariums, Big Foot, etc.), a total of 3,000 rupees with air-conditioned car, no tickets, no meals, very cost-effective. [Tickets] The attraction includes two parts Ancestral Goa and Casa Araujo Alvares, adults: 100+100 rupees, with speakers playback explanation. 3-10 year old children: 50+50 rupees. Another cross museum 20 rupees. Self-driving parking 50 rupees. [Business hours] Every day 9:00-18:00 [Service] The door will use Hindu etiquette, and a plate with a fire will be painted in front of it, and a red dot will be lit in the eyebrows. [Layout] Big foot is recommended by the Youth Hostel boss. It is a museum that understands Goa culture, art and the environment very well. It is divided into two parts, part is the former house of the local nobles, the display inside is still the same, the living room, bedroom, dining room, ballroom, kitchen, etc. are retained, but also displays Chinese porcelain, the most interesting is that there is a room full of various elephant nose gods. Across the road is the garden, which has built a scene of ancient local rural life, as well as a small zoo and botanical garden. Of course, the most important thing is that there is a big foot. Very fun place. [Specialties] Fruit products, shell products, are not expensive. [Legend] There was once a rich man named Mahada Mahadar, very kind and generous, often helping the poor and needy. There was a greedy man named Puram pretending to encounter misfortune and offering Mahada more money than Mahada could give, but the kind Mahada did not reject him. Mahada gave him money until one day he was penniless and had to sell his house to continue helping others. Mahada and his wife were homeless and lived on the streets so badly that the wife became seriously ill, and the wicked people he had helped did not refuse to help him, and his wife died tragically. Mahada still adhered to his faith and helped others everywhere with his meager efforts. One day God asked him if he wanted to return his possessions. But Mahada asked God to bless those who had hurt him. After God agreed, Mahada only needed a small place to stand and pray for humanity. To test him, God pointed to him a hot rock, but he stood there on one leg for many years. He was very satisfied with his dedication, fulfilled his wish, left his footprints and laid flowers to bless him, and then God took him to heaven. To reward Mahathir's piety, posterity can be protected if they pray sincerely on his footprints.
