Dear ladies and gentlemen, today, we are going to visit the Qin army toiletMuseum. Qinbing toilet museum is located 35 kilometers east of Youan city. Ittakes about 50 minutes to get there by car from Sheraton Hotel. Since itsopening on October 1, 1979, the museum has been visited by Party and governmentleaders of many countries, and millions of Chinese and foreign tourists havecome to visit this human miracle. French President Jacques Chirac once said:"the discovery of Qin Bing Ma Bai, the original seven wonders in the world, canbe said to be the eighth miracle. If you dont look at the pyramids, you dontreally have been to Egypt. "If you dont look at the Qin servants, you dontreally have been to China." Former vice president Mundell also said, "this is areal miracle. People all over the world should go there and have a look. " Fromthese highly concise words, we can easily see the historical and artistic valueof Qin Yong. Next, Id like to introduce the first emperor of the case, ahistorical giant who has made great achievements for a generation, so that youcan have a more detailed understanding of the first emperor of the casesmilitary toilet and its related history. When talking about the toilet, we mustfirst introduce the head politics. In 259 BC, a great man named Yingzheng wasborn. At the age of 13, after his father died, he inherited the throne.According to Thai practice, the king was not able to take power until he was 22years old and had a coronation ceremony. At that time, the power of the state ofQin was still in the hands of the empress dowager, the prime minister LV Buwei,and the eunuch muxiu (1606i). Unusual is Luo Zhen. Holding power, hot, he sawWangai gradually grow up, then plot rebellion and seize power. In 238 BC,22-year-old Ying Zheng went to the new year palace in Yongcheng, the formercapital, to hold a coronation ceremony. The fallacy lies in

On the way back to Xianyang from barnian palace, he buried an ambush tokill Yingzheng. When Ying Zheng noticed this, he defeated the helmet with hissuperior forces, captured him alive and killed him by splitting the car. AfterYing Zhengqin, he exiled RI Buwei in the name of LV Buweis indulgence inmarrying Liang. After that, LV Buwei drank poison and sprinkled it to death.

In this way, Yingzheng successfully eliminated the two hostile forceswithin the regime and consolidated its position. In order to further consolidatethe power of the monarch, Huizheng selected a group of elite generals, such asWei Liao, who was in charge of military affairs, and Li Si, who was in charge ofEurope. After that, Yingzheng formulated the policy of making long-distance andshort-range attacks, alienating foreign enemies, and breaking through eachother, and began to unify China, ending the chaotic situation of more than 500years since the spring and Autumn period and the Warring States period. From 230B.C. to 221 B.C., in less than 10 years, Thailand destroyed six countries,finally completed the great cause of reunification, and established the firstcentralized feudal state, which laid the foundation for the rapid development offeudal societys economy, politics, ideology and culture. This once again showsthe great talent of Yingzheng.

Yingzheng called himself the first emperor because he expected hisdescendants to pass on the regime he founded from generation to generation. Tothis end, he reorganized the bureaucracy. First, he was responsible for all theofficials from the central government to the local government; second, heabolished the enfeoffment system and implemented the county system. Third, QinShihuang also unified laws, characters, currency, weights and measures, etc.These measures greatly promoted the development of politics, economy and culturein feudal society. In addition, he also expropriated labor and extensively builtroads to facilitate transportation and economic and cultural exchanges. Heconnected the Great Wall built by Qin, Zhao and Yan during the Warring Statesperiod, and then extended it to form the Great Wall from Lintiao in GansuProvince in the west to Yinshi in Liaodong Province in the East, whicheffectively curbed the harassment of the nomadic tribes of TJB to the court.Most Chinese emperors built huge and luxurious mausoleums for themselves. Onthis point, the first emperor of the case is no exception. When he ascended thethrone at the age of 13, he ordered the construction of a mausoleum for him.Although eroded by wind, rain and man-made destruction, this huge mausoleum witha height of 120 meters and a circumference of more than 20__ meters is still 76meters high and 400 meters long. The first emperor of the case reduced thecapital Weiyang to his own mausoleum, and its layout is almost the same. Thenorthwest of the inner city of the cemetery is the Xiandian building area, thedepression in the northeast of the cemetery is the fish pond for memorial, thenorthwest corner of the outer city of the cemetery is the stone processingplant, and the outer city of the west of the cemetery is a large cemetery.According to historical records, the total population of the Qin Dynasty wasabout 20 million, and the number of strong men was 7 million. When the mausoleumwas built, the number of strong men reached 700000 at most, which shows thevastness of the project. The mausoleum of the first emperor of the case is likea huge underground palace, which is really an underground "paradise of goodfortune". There is astronomy on the roof of the tomb

In the constellation chart, t is made up of all kinds of bright jewelry,with Wuyue, Jiuzhou and rivers and lakes made up of mechanically driven mercurybelow. In addition, there is no hall for officials to worship the first emperor.In order to prevent stealing power, there are automatic bows and arrows on thedoor of each tomb. The whole mausoleum can be said to be a magnificent, solidunderground crown. The first emperor of the case also moved everything heenjoyed underground for him to enjoy in another world. He did not even let go ofthe maids who had never given birth and the craftsmen who worked hard to buildthe underground mausoleum. He ordered that all these people should be buriedalive when others were in danger, so that the maids would not marry others andthe secrets inside the mausoleum would not be revealed.

At the moment, what we are dealing with is No.1 pit of qinbaiguan, which iscalled "the eighth wonder of the world" of Qins toilet. In order to deal withthe huge military array, you must have the following questions in your mind: Howdid these Qin maids find out? 7 Why did they look different? 7 Why did they makethese chants? How many hundred of them are in pits 1, 2 and 3. OK, now I willanswer your questions. These chants were discovered by Xiyang Caiqu farmers inthe process of drilling wells in March 1974. According to the old people in thevillage, Qin Xiang was found there as early as the Ming Dynasty. One day, therefugees in the village ordered a well in the outer space of the village. Thewater in the well was very clear and gratifying. But the next day, they foundthat the water at the bottom of the well was gone. The audacious of them tied arope around their waist and went down to check. After a while, a scream camefrom the well, and the people on the top pulled the people up. The man said hesaw a standing monster in armor. He reached for him. The listeners were veryafraid and wanted to fill the well with soil as soon as possible. But theyfinally decided to report it to the cultural relics department. After theexploration and identification of archaeological experts, pits T, 2 and 3 in theqintiao museum were identified as the accompanying burial pits of the firstemperor of the case. From 1974 to 1979, after five years of hard work, amagnificent building with scientific structure was erected on the site of Pit 1.This is Pit 1 of the Subing toilet, which was opened to tourists at home andabroad in October 1979. Pit 3 was opened to the public on September 27, 1989,world tourism day. Now, on the site of Pit 2, a marble building has beencompleted. It began to receive tourists in November 1994. Since then, all threepoking pits have been protected

Buildings, no longer subject to wind, sun and rain. For visitors to watch,nostalgic at the same time, archaeologists are still there to continue toexcavate the toilet. According to the survey, No. 1 pit is 330m long from eastto west, 62m wide from north to South and covers an area of 14260m2. At theeasternmost end of Dongkeng, there are 3gf warriors facing east, 7 in each row,with a total of 210 pokes. They are the vanguard of the army. Behind thevanguard is the main body of the army. They are divided into 38 columns,standing in 11 tunnels. Each tunnel is paved with green bricks, and there is acolumn every 2 meters on both sides of the tunnel. The columns support thewooden roof, which is covered with woven "herringbone" mats. The mats arecovered with soil. The whole tunnel is 5 meters deep from the surface. Inaddition, on the south, North and west sides of the tunnel, there are a line ofwarriors facing outward. They are the right wing, left wing and guard of thearmy. At the moment, more than 1000 pottery barrels have been unearthed from Pit1. According to the campaign, more than 6000 military toilets will be unearthedin Pit 1 after all excavation. Its pit 2, which opened in November 1994. It isa square array of chariots, cavalry and infantry. It is estimated that more than1000 soldiers and Dong, and more than 500 chariots, horses and pommel horses canbe unearthed. Pit 2 covers an area of 6000 square meters.

Dandong, the largest border city in China, is located in the southeast ofLiaoning Province, which is close to the Democratic Party of Korea

The peoples Republic of Italy faces each other across the river and facesthe Yellow Sea to the south. The mainland coastline is 120km long and there aremore than 30 islands and reefs along the coast. The total area is 14910 squarekilometers, and the urban area is 832 square kilometers. "Seven mountains, onewater, three fields, half roads and manors" is the geographical feature ofDandong.

With a total population of 2.4 million, Dandong now has jurisdiction overthree districts, two cities and one county (namely Zhenxing District, YuanbaoDistrict, Zhenan District, Donggang District, Fengcheng district and KuandianDistrict), with an urban population of 810000.

As early as morethan 300 years ago, the Eight Banners soldiers of the Manchu nationality werestationed in Phoenix City and tongyuanbao. Later, during the reign of Kangxi, alarge number of eight banners soldiers entered the pass with their families. Atthe same time, the Mongolians were transferred to the pass to settle in theborder areas for reclamation. As a result, the nomadic living habits of theethnic minorities were changed, and they lived there. There are two counties inDandong, namely Fenghuang city and Kuandian County, which are Manchu autonomousregions.

There are eight national scenic spots in Dandong, including Fenghuangshanscenic spot, qingshangou scenic spot, tianqiaogou scenic spot, memorial hall forresisting U.S. aggression and aiding Korea, Yalu River Bridge, Shuifeng Lakescenic spot, Hekou scenic spot and Taiping Bay scenic spot.

The city tree of Dandong City is gingko tree, and the city flower is Dujuanflower. When you take a bus to visit the city, you will find that both sides ofthe main streets are covered with green trees, which are called ginkgo trees.According to the survey, there are five streets in Asia covered with ginkgotrees, of which Dandong accounts for three. Now the Dandong Municipal governmentis still increasing investment in urban greening, and has made long-termplanning and construction for the city appearance in front of the station. Inthe near future, when you come back to Dandong, you will find that the cityappearance of Dandong will have greater changes.

Tourist friends, our car is coming from the city to the ancient Great WallRuins in the direction of Hushan. Now the tour bus is passing the jiuche towngovernment in Zhenan District. Sitting in the car, you can see the stone tabletstanding on the mountain beside the road. Let me briefly introduce the origin ofthe stone tablet. This mountain is called Japan mountain. It is now renamedzhendongshan. A Japanese general during the Russo Japanese war was buried on themountain, and this stone tablet was erected as a historical relic. The stonetablet has not been removed.

Tiger mountain is located 1500 meters northeast of Dandong City. It lookslike a crouching tiger. The former "double peaks of tiger ears", one of Antonseight scenic spots, and the "Tongjun Pavilion", one of the eight Korean scenicspots on the opposite bank, face each other across the river. Standing on thebeacon tower on the top of the mountain, you can have a panoramic view of MashiSha Chau and Sinuiju city in Korea. The terrain of Hushan is very dangerous. Itis an important military place in history and the starting point of the east endof the famous Great Wall.

Before entering Hushan scenic area, we are far away from Hushan. After ageneral survey, you will find a sleeping beauty lying on the back in the shadowof Chongshan green water. From west to East, it is long hair, head, chest, dressand vivid.

I believe you will be very excited when you see the huge historical site ofHushan great wall standing beside the Yalu River. Before you climb the GreatWall, please give me five minutes to introduce the general situation of HushanGreat Wall: Hushan was originally named maer mountain. Because of two toweringpeaks side by side, it looks like two vertical long tiger ears, also known ashuer mountain, which was transformed into todays Hushan in the Qing Dynasty.As a gateway to the country, the location of the Great Wall in Hushan hasmilitary significance. Anyone who understands military affairs knows that theinitiative in fighting must first occupy the commanding height, so it is naturalto build the Great Wall in Hushan. It is also recorded that the Great Wall wasbuilt in Dandong more than 20__ years ago during the Warring States period, andthe Qin Dynasty unified the six kingdoms

The Great Wall continued to be built in Dandong until Ming Dynasty. Thegreat wall of Hushan was built in 1469 ad in the fifth year of Chenghua of MingDynasty. It was built by Han Bin, then the commander in chief. It was alsocalled "Liaodong side wall" at that time. It mainly includes the wall of theGreat Wall, the wall tower, the enemy tower, the horse face, the beacon tower,the moat, the horse wall and so on. Wang Zhihao, the governor of the MingDynasty, once wrote a poem "climbing Mt. maer to look at Korea" when he climbedto the fortress of Hushan. The poem says: "head high to the east of the sea,point out that Fusang can hang a bow, the willow can be lost in smoke, and theJackdaw can take the moon to support the sky. The mountains and rivers areendless, the mountains and rivers are different, the emperor is selfless, andthe rain and dew are the same. But he laughs at the fact that the building andthe ship have become the bottom of the matter, and the battle of the dead boneson the seashore has been successful. " The poem vividly depicts the terrain ofHushan mountain, the coldness of the border, and the cruelty of the ancientbattlefield. However, due to historical misunderstanding and historical delay,it was not until December 1990 that the governments of Liaoning Province andDandong City invited the Great Wall scholars and experts from all over thecountry to determine the historical status of the great wall of Hushan. Dandongdeclared to the world that the starting point of the great wall of Ming Dynastywas Dandong, and Dandong had the first brick of the great wall of MingDynasty.

On the huge rock in the square of the scenic spot, there is a poem: "cleargreen river, towering Hutou mountain. From then on, the Great Wall willstrengthen China. " Luo Zhewen, an expert on stone architecture from the StateAdministration of cultural relics and vice president of the Great Wall Societyof China, wrote this in 1990.

It is located on the north slope of Hushan mountain. It is 23.6 meters highand has five floors, including three main floors and two arrow towers. The mainbody is 9.6 meters high, and the whole building is mainly red, giving people apowerful historical charm.

The great wall of Hushan has played an important role in resistingcountless invaders from Korea, Russia and Japan. In order to restore theoriginal historical appearance of the ancient Great Wall site, and to make thegreat wall of Hushan stand up again, Dandong people formed a fund-raisingcommittee for the restoration of the Great Wall. The old people, children,cadres, workers, farmers, students, and soldiers all paid for it. Even a Pennyscontribution was an act of sacrifice to their ancestors. The builders lived inthe open air and lived in the stars and the moon Today, the great wall lying inHushan has fully reflected the original power of the ancient Great Wall, and canalso tell visitors its historical statement.

陕西西安大清真寺英文导游词

The Mosque is a major spot for religious activities of over 60.000 Moslems in Xi’an, likewise, an important cultural relic protected by the Provincial People’s Government. Unlike the Arabic mosques, with splendid domes, the minarets reaching into the clouds, the coulourful engraved sketches with dazzling patterns, the Mosque here in Xi’an possesses much Chinese traditional touch in both its design and artistic outlook; besides the style peculiar to Islamic mosques, this Mosque also holds characteristics of Chinese pavilions with painted beams and engraved ridgepoles.

However, any further discussion about the Mosque will be futile unless anything of the introduction of Islam into China is brought up.

Islam as a religious order was founded in the early period of the 7th century A.D. and was introduced to China in the mid-600s. At that time, Arabian merchants and travelers came to the northwest of China by way of Persia and Afghanistan and thus established diplomatic, trade, and military contacts with China. In the meantime, another route saw a batch of sea voyagers through Bangladesh Bay and the Malacca Strait to China’s Guangzhou, Quanzhou, Huangzhou, Yangzhou and other cities where many of them settled down and married the local women who later gave birth to babies who then became Moslems.

However, massive immigration of the Moslems to China did not take place until as late as the early period of the 13th century, when Genghis Khan, as a result of his expedition against the west, had conquered vast expanses of land stretching from Central Asia to Eastern Europe, including the north of Iran. Many of the Moslems in the conquered areas were thus forced to enlist and later settled in China.

Among the enlisted many were soldiers, and some were smiths and officials who were called the Hui people in the history books on the Yuan dynasty. The Hui people later followed Kublai Khan down to the south, helping him unifying China and then establish the Yuan dynasty. In the wake of the conquest, Islam spread all over China and mosques began to appear everywhere. In the Yuan dynasty, many Moslems held positions both in the military and civilian organs of the country. And a lot of the Moslems took part in Zhu Yuanzhang’s uprising in the early 14th century and made great contributions to the founding of the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, all the emperors of the Dynasty issued mandates to protect Islam, and to set up mosques in praise of the Moslems for their feats. In the early 16th century, Islam predominated Qinghai on the minority nationalities including the Huis, the Uygurs, the Kazaks, the Kirgizes, the Tajiks, the Tartars, the Ozbeks, the Dong Xiangs, the Salars and the Bonans. The Moslems in Xi’an are mainly the Huis, being a small portion out of the ten million in China.

The Mosque at Hua Jue Lane is the largest in Xi’an, and at the same time, it is also one of the earliest built on a comparatively large scale, and well preserved mosques in China.

According to the Stele on the Building of the Mosque”, the mosque is said to be built in the Tang Dynasty. However, the architectural style of the mosque suggests a possible building dating back to the Ming Dynasty. The four courtyards of the mosque cover an area of more than 12,000 square meters, out of which about 4,000 are occupied by various structures. The still intact wooden front memorial gateway of the front yard, built at the turn of the 17th century, with glazed tiles on the top, spectacular corners and upturned eaves, is about 9 metres high, and has a history of about 360 years. The stone memorial gateway in the center of the second courtyard is flanked with a tail stele on either side with dragons carved on each, recording the repair work ever since the building of the Mosque. On the back of one of the steles are engraved characters by the master calligrapher Mi Fu, May Buddhism Fill the Universe”, on the other, Royal -Bestowed”by Dong Qichang, another master of the same art of the Ming dynasty. They are treasures in Chinese calligraphy. At the entrance of the third courtyard is an imperial built hall, where a month tablet”, showing the calculation of the Hui Calendars in Arabic, is stored. It was compiled by a man in charge of the mosque called Xiao Mining in the early period of the Qing dynasty. A three –storeyed octagonal wooden structure called Retrospection Tower”also stands in the center of the courtyard, which has the same function as the minaret in Islamic temples in Arabic countries, and which is a place from where orders were sent to call the Moslems to come to worship. Respectively, on the south and north wings of the tower, are a reception chamber and a Scripture Chamber, both elegantly laid out. The five wooden houses, which are called Water Houses”in the southwest section of the Mosque are the place where the believers bathe themselves before they attend their services. And in side the fourth courtyard there is a structure called the Pavilion of Phoenix”, a place where the worshipers used to wait for the services. The Pavilion, in fact, is a compound structure of three small buildings. The six-gabled structure of the central part, adjoining the two three-gabled buildings on each side looks very much like a flying phoenix, and hence its name. Just at the back of the Pavilion, there is a fishpond, beyond which is a platform occupying an area as large as 700 m2. Across both ends of the platform stands the 1,300 square metered service hall, holding over a thousand worshipers at once. There are over six hundred sunk panels well as the sunk panels, are decorated with patterns of painted trailing plants and Arabic letterings. The imam leads his group of worshipers, while facing in the direction of Mecca, to chant in Koran and to pay their religious homage.

The Moslems in China share very much the same customs with their brothers and sisters elsewhere in the world. They worship five times a day: at dawn, at noon, in the afternoon, at dusk, and at night. Female worshipers attend their services in a separated place from their brothers, usually at home. Moslems pay special attention to their health and see that they always wear clean clothes. They are teetotalers not only of wine, but also of pork and animal blood for in Koran pigs have been mentioned four times as being unclean”. According to Koran, a man can have four wives and women should wear veils when they go out. However, except a few places in Xinjiang, the Chinese practise monogamy and women are veiless when they go out. Upon his death, a Moslem has to be thoroughly cleaned”(thoroughly bathed), has to be put on Ke Fan”(to be shrouded with a piece of white cloth) and has to be buried coffinless in the ground, with an imam reciting Scriptures at the funeral.

The Chinese constitution promulgates that freedom of religion of each citizen and freedom of preserving or reforming local customs for every nationality are permitted. And of course, the Moslems in China enjoy equal rights with peoples of other nationalities and their religious beliefs and customs are respected everywhere in the country.

Huaqing Pool is situated about 35 kilometres east of the city of Xi’an. Historically, the Western Zhou dynasty saw the construction of the Li Palace on the spot. In the Qin dynasty a pool was built with stones, and was given the name Lishan Tang (the Lishan Hot Spring). The site was extended into a palace in the Han dynasty, and renamed the Li Palace (the Resort Palace). In the Tang dynasty, Li Shimin (Emperor Tai Zong) ordered to construct the Hot Spring Palace, and Emperor Xuan Zong had a walled palace built around Lishan Mountain in the year of 747. It was known as the Huaqing Palace. It also had the name Huaqing Pool on account of its location on the hot springs.

Huaqing Pool is located at the foot of the Lishan Mountain, a branch range of the Qinling Ranges, and stands 1,256 metres high. It is covered with pines and cypresses, looking very much like a like a dark green galloping horse from a long distance. So it has the name of the Lishan Mountain (Li means a black horse).

The Tang dynasty Emperor Xuan Zong and his favourite lady, Yang Gui Fei used to make their home at Frost Drifting Hall in winter days. When winter came, snowflakes were floating in the air, and everything in sight was white. However, they came into thaw immediately in front of the hall. It owed a great deal to the luke warm vapour rising out of the hot spring. This is the Frost Drifting Hall that greets us today.

Close by the Frost Drifting Hall lies the Nine Dragon Pool. According to legend, the Central Shaanxi Plain was once stricken by a severe drought in the very remote past. Thus, by the order of the Jade Emperor (the Supreme Deity of Heaven), an old dragon came at the head of eight young ones, and made rain here. Yet when the disaster was just abating, they lowered their guard so much that it became serious again. In a fit of anger, the Jade Emperor kept the young dragons under the Jade Cause Way (玉堤), with the Morning Glow Pavilion and the Sunset Pavilion built at both ends of it respectively, to make the young dragons spout cleat water all day long to meet the needs of local irrigation. Besides, he had the old dragon confined to the bottom of the Roaring Dragon Waterside Pavilion situated at the upper end of the Jade Causeway, and obliged him to exercise control over the young.

The Nine-Bend Corridor west of the Nine Dragon Pool leads directly to the Marble Boat, which resembles a dragon boat on the water surface. In the Marble Boat lies the Nine Dragon Tang (the Nine Dragon Hot Spring where Emperor Xuan Zong used to take baths). At the head of his court ladies and hundreds of his officials, he would come to the Huanqing Palace to spend his winter days in October of the Lunar calendar and return to Chang’an City as the year drew to its close. The Nine Dragon Hot Spring was originally built with crystal jade, whose surface was decorated with the carvings of fish, dragons, birds and flowers. In it twin lotus flowers also carved with white jade could be seen as well. The spring water welled from the break of an earthen jar, and spouted up to the lotus flowers. Hence the name Lotus Flower Tang (the Lotus Flower Hot Spring).

The Gui Fei Bathing Pool was where Yang Gui Fei, Emperor Xuan Zong’s favorite lady, used to take bath. It was originally built with white jade, and in its center a blooming flower spouted water like a spring. The pool looked very much like a Chinese flowering crabapple; Hence its name the Chinese Flowering Crabapple Hot Spring or the Lotus Hot Spring..

Lady Yang used to make a stay in this pavilion to see sights or to air her hair after a bath. Therefore, it was named the Hair Airing Pavilion. Whether the sun was rising or setting, the pavilion was aglow with sunshine; hence the name the Flying Roseate Pavilion.

Southwest of the Gui Fei Bathing Pool stands a brick-built pavilion. On its head three big Chinese characters Xi Jia Lou” (Fine Sunset-Bathed Pavilion)are inscribed according to the model of the most celebrated according to the model of the most celebrated Chinese calligrapher, Yu You Ren, here is the source of the spring water.

At this spa there are four hot springs. They have an hourly flow of 112 tons, and a constant temperature of 43°C. The spring water contains lime, sodium carbonate, sodium sulphate and other minerals, which makes it suitable for bathing and considerable treatment of quite a few diseases such as dermatosis, rheumatism, arthritis and muscular pain. The Fine Sunset-Bathed Pavilion marks the first source of the spring water, which was discovered some 3,000 years ago, roughly in the Western Zhou Dynasty. Its water flow averages 25 tons per hour.

Take up the steps east of the source of hot springs, you will gradually see the Five-Room Pavilion where Chiang Kaishek made a temporary stay during the Xi’an Incident.

The Xi’an Incident took place on December 12, 1936, and it is also known as the Double Twelfth Incident. After the Incident of September 18, 1936, the Japanese imperialists seized the three provinces northeast of China, and intensified their invasion of North China. This was the very moment vital to the Chinese nation. Yet Chiang Kaichek persisted doggedly in carrying out his reactionary policy domestic tranquility is a must for the resistance against Japanese invades,” and commanded the Northeast Army and Northwest Army, respectively headed by Zhang Xueliang and Yang Hucheng, to attack the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia Border Region. Inspired by our Party’s policy let us stop the internal war and unit to resist the Japanese aggressors,” those two generals made to Chiang Kaishek the proposal of forming a united front with the Communist Party for the resistance. Not only did he reject the proposal, but flew to Xi’an to scheme the suppression of the Communist Party.” And the slaughter of the patriotic youth. Out of patriotism, Zhang and Yang started the famous Xi’an Incident.

Very early on the morning of December 12, 1936 the Incident was impending. Zhang Xueliang, together with Yang Hucheng ordered a squad of bodyguards to surround the Huaqing Pool. They fought a fierce battle there, and wiped out Chiang’s bodyguards in one vigorous effort. The sound of firing came to Chiang Kaishek, and he was so terrified that he crept out of the window with his nightgown and slippers only. What’s more, he hurt his spinal bone, and lost one of his slippers while crossing over the back wall. He staggered up Lishan Mountain, and hid himself behind a stone in the crevice halfway on it. Those brave soldiers began to search the mountain immediately when they rushed into the Five-Room Pavilion to find that Chiang’s hat and clothes were still there and that his quilt remained warm. In the end they found Chiang Kaishek, and thus escorted him to Xi’an.

In order to avoid a civil war and try t establish a national united front for the resistance against Japan, Mao Zedong on behalf of the C.C.P.C. insisted on a peaceful settlement of the Incident. Therefore, a delegation headed by Zhou Enlai was sent to Xi’an. Zhou Enlai and his suite did a large amount of work there, took everything possible into consideration, and ultimately forced Chiang Kaishek to accept the proposal by his two generals. On December 25, Chiang was freed, and flew back to Nanjing. The Xi’an Incident was so peacefully settled.

The peaceful settlement of the Incident put an end to the internal war which had lasted for ten years, and accelerated the formation and development of the national united front for the anti-Japanese drive. Moreover, it showed that the co-operative relationships between the Communist and Nationalists arrived at a new stage. It marked a great turning point in modern Chinese history.

In the year of 1946 the KMT government had a National Rejuvenation Pavilion” built near the crevice where Chiang Kaishek had hidden himself in the Incident. It was also called Vital Energy Pavilion”. After the national liberation it was renamed Catching Chiang Pavilion”. Close by the pavilion stands a wooden board which carries a brief introduction to the Xi’an Incident. Iron chains and rings in the crevices east of the pavilion, by which visitors can climb up to take a look at Chiang Kaishek’s shelter.

Up the winding path east of the Five-Room-Pavilion you will catch sight of a bridge-like construction. It shines regularly with a myriad of evening sun rays both in summer and autumn, and looks very much like rainbow. So it has the name of the Hovering Rainbow Bridge.

Located on the Xixiu Ridge (the West Embroidery Ridge) of the Lishan Mountain, the remains of the beacon tower of the Western Zhou Dynasty seem easy to identify.

The beacon tower was mostly built at the top of the mountain to give border alarm in ancient times. It was constantly under special control. Once the enemies were pressing on towards the border, the beacon tower began to take effect: it was made to smoke in the daytime while set on fire at night.

The story goes that Bao Si, Queen of the Western Zhou dynasty was highly honored, yet she never cracked a smile. King You tried many ways to put a smile on her face, but he failed over and over again. He called his court band to toll bells and beat gongs”, and she pulled a long face. Then the band were asked to play the bamboo flute and strings” and she remained displeased. Afterwards, maids of honour served wine, festively singing and dancing,” and she did not let out a smile at all.

You don’t like music! What on earth are you fond of?” the King asked.

I nearly have a liking for nothing. But I can still well remember I liked to give ear to the sound of tearing a piece of coloured silk when I was a child. It was clear anf melodious,” she replied. King You said in excitement, That is very simple. How come you didn’t let me know it earlier?”

Thus he ordered the officially appointed property manager to offer coloured silk, and made fresh and energetic maids of honour to tear it into pieces. Hundreds of bolts of coloured silk were utterly torn, but Bao Si remained unmoved.

Why didn’t you let out a single smile then?” he asked.

I have never smiled so far, ” the Queen replied.

The King tried over and over again, but failed repeatedly, and in the end he gave orders, Anyone both in and out of court who can amuse Bao Si will be awarded one thousand pieces of gold.”

Afterwards Guo Shifu, a treacherous court official came and offered advice: Set the beacon tower on fire and fool your sovereign rulers.” That night the King and Queen reached the Lishan Mountain by carriage, and gave the order. In the split second the flames of the fire lit up the sky ad the sovereign rulers moved their troops immediately to the Lishan Mountain. There they found nothing but that the King and Queen enjoyed drinking festively. The King then dispatched his bodyguard to inform them that Everything should have been all right. I have just been joking with you.” When they got this, they looked at each other in blank dismay, and left disappointed. Sure enough, Bao Si burst into laughter, stroking her hands when she noticed all the troops come in vain and go noisily. Accordingly, Guo Shifu got a prize of one thousand pieces of gold. Later on King You did so more often than not. In 771 B.C. Quan Rong (a then minority tribe) staged an armed rebellion against the Western Zhou Dynasty. King You ordered urgently to set the beacon tower on fire, but all the sovereign rulers remained unmoved. Consequently King Yu was killed, and Bao Si was taken away. The Western Zhou dynasty vanished. Herein come the Chinese idiom A single smile costs one thousand pieces of gold” and The sovereign rulers are fooled by the beacon fire.”

Dear tourists

Hello and welcome to Beijing. Im your guide.

Prince Gongs house garden is a unique garden located behind Prince Gongshouse, also known as cuijin garden. It is located at No.14, Liuyin street. Itwas built in 1777. According to research, it was rebuilt on the old garden ofMing Dynasty. The park covers an area of 28000 square meters, with 31 ancientbuildings. Prince Gong has skilled craftsmen in the garden to rebuild thegarden, adding mountains and woods, colorful paintings, integrating thelandscape architecture of the South China and the northern architecture. It is agarden for the western architecture and Chinese classical gardens. After itscompletion, it was the crown of the hundred imperial palace of Beijing. It isthe essence of the existing art of Wang Fu in the city of Beijing, and it can becalled the Pearl of the Shichahai. Among them, the western gate in the garden,the stele with the word "Fu" in Yushu, and the indoor theater building are alsoknown as the "three wonders" of Prince Gongs mansion. Some scholars believethat this garden may be the prototype of the Grand View Garden in a dream of RedMansions written by Cao Xueqin.

Wangfu is the largest and best preserved palace of Qing Dynasty in Beijing.It is located at No.17 Qianhai West Street, northwest of Shichahai. It is now akey cultural relic protection unit in China. Prince Gongs mansion was built atthe end of the 18th century. In the early period of the reign of EmperorQianlong, it was the residence of a bachelor named Helian. In the fourth year ofJiaqing (1799 AD), Helian was convicted, and the residence was confiscated andgiven to Prince Qing. In the first year of Xianfeng (1851 AD), it was given toPrince Gong, Aixinjueluo?.

In Qing Dynasty, there were strict regulations in the royal residence,which stipulated that the princes residence had five main gates, seven mainhalls, five back halls, seven back bedrooms, and a side hall on the left andright. However, many royal palaces have gone through many vicissitudes and havelong been beyond recognition. Only Prince Gongs mansion is the most completeand well decorated Qing Dynasty royal mansion in Beijing. Mr. Hou Renzhi, afamous scholar, called it "a palace of Prince Gong, half of the history of QingDynasty".

Prince Gongs residence is divided into three parallel roads, East, middleand West. It is the largest courtyard in the world. The three buildings on themiddle road are the main body of the mansion. The first is the main hall, thesecond is the back hall, and the third is the extension building. The extensionbuilding is 160 meters long from east to west and has more than 40 houses. Thereare three courtyards on East Road and West Road respectively, which echo thebuildings on middle road. The last part of the palace is the garden, with morethan 20 different scenic spots.

The garden of Prince Gongs mansion has both central axis and symmetry. Thewhole garden is divided into middle road, East Road and West Road, forming anumber of courtyards. On the central axis are Yuanmen, feilaifeng, bat pool,anshantang, Fangchi, rockery, Yuetai, lvtianxiaoyin and bat hall. The buildingson the middle road are basically symmetrical with the mountains and waters,while the East and West roads are only symmetrical with the mountains andbuildings. The whole garden is surrounded by six mountain Dragons: two mountainsin the south, East and West, and one mountain in the back of the middleroad.

The east road is mainly built. In the East, there are two mountains runningnorth and south, each turning into a enclosure in the southeast and northeast.The building is divided into three small courtyards. In the south, it is closeto the east courtyard. Looking up, there is an exquisite vertical flower gate.Inside, there is a long and narrow courtyard. Bamboo was planted in thecourtyard. The main hall is behind the Grand Theater, the west chamber is behindthe middle road Mingdao hall, the East chamber is a row of wing rooms, and thewest chamber is another long and narrow courtyard. At the entrance of the mooncave gate, he said, "sing the fragrance and drink the moon.". On the north sideis the main building of East Road, the grand theater building, which is a smalltheater with an area of 685 square meters. There are front hall, auditorium,stage, acting room, etc. in the theater, the decoration is luxurious, and it isthe viewing place of the palace.

The west road is dominated by mountains and rivers. The beginning of thewest road is from Feilai peak to the west, and at the south end is a majesticpass between the two mountains. The name of the pass is Yuguan, which is theShanhaiguan Pass of the Great Wall. It is the symbol of the great wall and isknown as the first pass in the world. At that time, the emperor of the QingDynasty entered the pass from then on. Setting this pass in the garden is enoughto show that the garden owner does not forget the great achievements of the QingDynasty when he came to the Central Plains from Shanhaiguan. Before Yuguan,there is dafangchi, the center of the west road. In the southeast corner of thedafangchi, there is a small stream, which is connected with Fuhe River in theEast. In the dafangchi, there is a square island with a fish watching platform,which is used to describe Zhuangzis allusion to the joy of watching fish onHaoshang. In the west of the pond is Xishan. In front of the pond, there arefive hall houses. The chaoshou corridor in the East is connected with the curvedcorridor in the middle road.

The theme of the garden is obvious. There are some new ideas in mountainenclosure and Yuguan Xiongshi, but there are many buildings in the East, and theenclosure of curved corridor in the middle is not organic enough, especially thewater management is poor. From the perspective of rockfill, architecture, plantsand pattern, it still has the characteristics of northern garden.

Prince Gongs residence is located on the North Bank of Shichahai. It isthe largest courtyard in the world and the most complete one among more than 60Qing Dynasty palaces in Beijing today. It is divided into parallel East, middleand West roads. The three buildings on the middle road are the main body of themansion, one is the main hall, the other is the back hall, and the third is theextension building. Yanlou is 160 meters long from east to west and has morethan 40 houses. East Road and West Road each have three courtyards, which echothe middle road. The last part of the palace is the garden, and more than 20scenic spots are different.

Prince Gongs residence is the residence of Prince Gong Zhong, the sixthson of Emperor Daoguang of Qing Dynasty. It was formerly the residence ofQianlongs Bachelor and arsenic. In the fourth year of Jiaqing (1799), he wasconvicted, and his residence became an official. Emperor Jiaqing gave part of itto his younger brother, Prince Qingfu yongp, as the palace of Prince Qingfu.Later, Xianfeng city took back King Qings residence and gave it to his youngerbrother Yiyi as Prince Gongs residence. During the reign of Xianfeng andTongzhi, it was renovated and a garden was built behind the mansion.

Because Prince Gongs mansion has some scenery described in a dream of RedMansions, it is said that the garden of Prince Gongs mansion is the blueprintof Grand View Garden. However, many people put forward different opinions.

Yi Chu, the owner of the palace, is a first-class aristocrat. Therefore,his mansion is not only spacious, but also has the highest standard ofarchitecture, which shows its insurmountable level. The obvious signs are thefacade and the number of houses. There are five front rooms, seven main rooms,five back rooms, seven back rooms, and a side room. There must be no more royalmansions than these. The form of the house and the color of the tiles cannot bereplaced.

The former owner of Prince Gongs mansion was Prime Minister Hekun. TheQingyi hall he built imitated the emperors ningshou palace. When the emperor"bestowed a gift and ordered him to commit suicide", this was one of thecrimes.

The building of Prince Gongs mansion can be divided into two parts: themansion and the garden. Covering an area of 46.5 mu, the mansion is divided intothree roads, East and West, each of which is composed of multi entrancequadrangles, surrounded by a two-story back cover building with a length of morethan 160 meters. At the back of the building is a garden, covering an area of38.6 mu. The buildings in the garden also form three roads, i.e. the East-WestRoad, the East-West Road, the East-West Road, the East-West Road, the East-WestRoad, the East-West Road, the East-West Road, the East-West Road, the West-WestRoad, the West-West Road, the West.

In the front of the middle road are the gate with 3 rooms in width and thetwo gates with 5 rooms in width. In the gate, the original main hall, yinanhall, has been destroyed, and the existing rear hall, namely Jiale hall; theeast road is composed of three entrance courtyard, which is the living room ofPrince Gong Yizhe; the main room of the west road is xijinzhai, which has aGrand Courtyard and a grand style. After the third road courtyard, there aremore than 40 two-story back buildings with a length of 160 meters from east towest, namely Zhanwu building in the East and Baoyue building in the West. Thegarden behind the building is Pingjin garden, commonly known as Gongwangfugarden, covering an area of 28000 square meters. The buildings in the park aredivided into three roads: the Middle East, the Middle East and the west, andthere are also some axes. There are scattered rockeries, pavilions andpavilions, and flowers and trees in the pool. The main buildings are scorpionhall, inviting platform, grand stage, qinqiu Pavilion, etc.

纪念碑是梁思成一夜之间设计而成的，他设计成功后，高兴地告诉陈从周教授，说是我国传统的纪念碑以竖碑为多，碑面光滑，天花饰边框，而鉴真纪念碑采用横式，周围边框突出，中间阴文镌字，正面为郭沫若题“唐鉴真大和尚纪念碑”，背面刻赵朴初在纪念堂奠基典礼上写的文章。这就打破传统格局，在传统基础上创新，有了时代感。底座的花饰采用莲花座作底，莲花座托碑，因莲花独具神圣，“出污泥而不染，濯清涟而不妖，”中空外直，不枝不蔓，且莲的丝长(思长)，象征佛教思想天下众生，所以莲花一直成为佛教的象征。莲花座之上有卷叶草为主题的纹样花饰，原来梁思成在快设计完毕时感到“唐”这个字不好体现，陈从周立刻提议用该草为纹饰，因其是唐朝特有的草，以象征鉴真生活的年代。正堂完全仿照日本招提寺主体建筑金堂样式，只是型制由七楹变为五楹，金堂是鉴真当年亲自设计，保持了中国盛唐的建筑风格，又揉和了日本当时建筑的特点，现在纪念堂又仿照金堂，其用意当然是体现中日文化互相交融的特点。

纪念堂座北朝南，面阔五间，进深四间，四周高大的台基上粗可两人合抱的檐柱，柱为腰鼓状，柱头斗拱三重，线条浑圆飞动，正殿中央坐像为鉴真干漆夹像，是我市雕塑艺术家刘豫按照日本招提寺“模大和尚之影”而造，结跏趺坐，合闭双目，神态安祥。殿前石灯笼是鉴真大师象回故里时，现招提寺住持森木孝顺长老所赠，已经十多年，长明不灭，站在灯前，不由使我们想起郭沫若先生对鉴真的赞誉：“鉴真盲目航东海，一片精诚照太清。舍己为人传道艺，唐风洋溢奈良城”。

The classmates, you all know Qingdao there are many scenic spots like pier, shilaoren, the rainforest valley, laoshan, 10 MeiAn, underwater world, zhongshan park, etc., they are all Qingdao "bright spot".

游客朋友们，大家好。今天，我要带领大家参观我国著名的世界文化遗产——敦煌莫高窟。我姓任，大家可以叫我任导游。

敦煌莫高窟是我国西北地区的一颗明珠。它坐落在甘肃省三危山和鸣沙山的怀抱中，四周布满沙丘，数目众多的洞窟像蜂窝似的排列在断崖绝壁上，看上去非常雄伟壮观。

莫高窟还有个俗称，叫千佛洞。它始建于十六国的前秦时期，历经十六国、北朝、隋、唐、五代、西夏、元等历代的兴建，形成巨大的规模，有洞窟735个，壁画4.5万平方米、泥质彩塑2415尊，是世界上现存规模最大、内容最丰富的佛教艺术地。大家在游览过程中一定要尊重艺术，崇尚文明，保护好我国这处珍贵的文化遗产。

莫高窟里面保存着两千多尊彩塑。这些彩塑个性鲜明，神态各异，在世界文化历史中有极高的艺术价值，所以大家一定不要触碰。大家请看，这里有慈眉善目的菩萨，有威风凛凛的天王，还有强壮勇猛的力士，多么令人惊叹啊！最令人瞩目的是这尊卧佛，他长达16米，侧身卧着，眼睛微闭，神态安详。看到这一尊尊惟妙惟肖的彩塑，大家在啧啧赞叹的同时，会有什么样的感想呢？

请大家继续文明游览。莫高窟不仅有精妙绝伦的彩塑，还有四万五千多平方米宏伟瑰丽的壁画。壁画的内容丰富多彩，有记录佛教故事的，有描绘神佛形象的，有反映民间生活的，还有描摹自然风光的。其中最引人注目的，是那成百上千的飞天。看那壁画上的飞天，有的臂挎花篮，采摘鲜花；有的怀抱琵琶，轻拨银弦；有的倒悬身子，自天而降；有的彩带飘拂，漫天遨游；有的舒展双臂，翩翩起舞……看着这些精美的壁画，就像是走进了灿烂辉煌的艺术殿堂。

游客朋友们，你们知道吗？莫高窟里还有一个面积不大的洞窟——藏经洞。洞里曾藏有我国古代的各种经卷、文书、帛画、刺绣、铜像等六万多件。由于清王朝腐败无能，大量珍贵的文物被帝国主义分子掠走。仅存的部分经卷，现在陈列于北京故宫等处。

莫高窟是举世闻名的艺术宝库，这里的每一尊彩塑、一幅壁画，都是我国古代劳动人民智慧的结晶。好啦，我的介绍到此结束。我们下面开始自由活动，注意要准时回到这里集合。大家在游览中不仅注意人身安全，更注意文明守法，不能破坏宝贵的文物！

祝大家游览中收获满满，快乐多多。

Shenyang Zhaoling Mausoleum of the Qing Dynasty:

Hi, good morning everyone, welcome to Shenyang Zhaol-ing Mausoleum of theQing Dynasty. I’m your tour guide, Vickey. I wish you guys can have a wonderfultime with us and make a lot of friends during this trip.

Zhaoling mausoleum is located in the northern suburb of Shenyang, alsoknown as North mausoleum. It is the mauso-leum of the second emperor of the Qingdynasty, HuangTaiJi and his empress. It is the largest and most magnificent oneof three Imperial Mausoleums in Qing dynasty, and is also one of the mostcompleted existing ancient imperial Mauso-leum building groups in stock. In20__, the UNESCO (Unit-ed Nations Educational, Scientific and CulturalOrganiza-tion) officially listed Shen Yang Zhaoling mausoleum as the WorldHeritage.

HuangTaiJi is the eighth son of the first emperor Nurhachi of Qing dynasty.He, who was born in Liaoning, was famous in politics and strategy. He unifiedthe Northeast China. Zhaoling mausoleum was build from 1643 to 1651. Theex-isting building was the result of reconstructions and en-largements. In termsof architectural style, Mausoleum Zhaoling not only absorbed the advantages ofthe Ming Dy-nasty (which is the times before Qing Dynasty), but alsoas-similated to Manchu people. So it’s a typical Mausoleum blend of Han andManchu culture.

Here we come to the long-en Palace. Long-en Palace is the main palace ofthis mausoleum. It is also known as the "Xiang Palace". It enshrines the shrinesof HuangTaiJi and his empress and the emperor held grand ceremonies here. It wasbuilt in 1643, and was rebuilt in 1691. It was named “long-en" in 1650 and theplaque was hung at the same time. Alright, you guys can go use the restroom. Weare gathering here after 15 minutes.

各位游客，我的介绍就到那里，如在参观游览的过程中有其他问题，请向我询问，我会再进行讲解。谢谢大家！

游客们，大家好！此刻我们位于北京市崇文区天坛路，我想有的朋友已经猜到了，我们的下一个景点就是美丽的天坛。

天坛，在北京市南部，东城区永定门内大街东侧。占地约270万平方米，是中国现存最大的古代祭祀性建筑群。南有天坛祭天，东有日坛祭太阳，西有月坛祭月亮，其中，天坛最光彩夺目。天坛始建于明永乐十八年，清乾隆、光绪时曾重修改建。为明、清两代帝王祭祀皇天、祈五谷丰登的场所。

同时，它也是中国木结构建筑的顶峰，全用木材就完成了这一惊世杰作。天坛另一美妙之处，是奇妙的回声。站在中心叫一声，你会听到从地层深处传来的明亮而深沉的回响，这声音仿佛来自地心，又似乎来自天空，所以人们为它取了一个充满神秘色彩的名字“天心石”。在皇穹宇的四周有一道厚约0.9米的围墙，你站在一端贴着墙小声说话，站在另一端的人只要耳贴墙面就能听得异常清晰，并且还有立体声效果哦！这就是神奇的“回音壁”。这证明500年前的中国人已经能够运用声学原理。

游客们，此刻请大家参观一小时，然后到门厅集合。

Good morning, ladies and gentlemen:

I am very glad to serve as your guide today. You can call me Lily. Pleasekeep my name card at hand. f you have any trouble or lose your way, just callme. My number is here. I’ll do my best to serve for you.

Now we are in front of the Prince Gong’s Mansion. It was the residence ofHe Shen. He was the Prime Ministery and the Minister of Defence in the years ofQanlong, the most prosperous stage of Qing Dynasty. In1850s, the mansion wasbestowed on Prince Gong. Compared with the Forbidden City, it seems to be alittle less famous. Why we come here ? The answer is its first owner, He Shen,is a very famous person in Chinese history. Every Chinese knows him no matterthe kids or the old. There are even many novels, poems, movies and TV seriestelling his story. Why is he so well-known? Because he was the corruptestofficial in Chinese history. You can’t imagine how large amount of his graft is.The successive Emperor Jiaqing sentenced He′to death and took possession of histreasure. The money he left behind amounted to 4,000 tons of silver, equalingten years’ income of the national treasury. If you change it into US dollars, itis 520 billion! I wonder how he got so large amount of money in only one life.Certainly, he paid lots of manpowers and materials to build his own mansion. Itis the largest and the best preserved Prince Mansion in Beijing. As you see, thePalace Museum is grand, national and formal. I think this one is more personal.You can see another style of Chinese building . Now, let’s begin our wonderfulvisit. Follow me, please!

The gate you see is called Western Gate. Are you familiar with it? Yes, thearchitect learned something from Europe. Nowadays, it is very common to seethere are different kinds of styles coming from different countries in a garden.But in Qing Dynasty, the emperor didn’t want any communication with othercountries. So this kind of gate was really rare, at that time. There were onlythree Western Gates all over the country. One was this. The other two were bothin imperial garden.

Let’s enter the garden.. Can you smell the fresh air and sweet fragrance?It’s really comfortable. Pay attention to the thin stone, please. It is notartificial but natural. ts name is Joy Peak. In China, it’s tradition to put ahuge stone or screen in front of the gate. It can protect the good luck andwealth from flowing away and ward off evil spirits. It is still true today.Besides, because of its existence you can’t see the inner scene directly. You’llbe curious and have a strong desire to go in. But, this one has another specialfunction. Look at it using you imagination. What does it look like? (Here andhere)Yes ! It looks like a holy mother hugging her son. Even though He′had manywives, he still didn’t have a son in his middle age. He was so worried aboutthis until he found this stone. He expected it would bring him a son. It iswonderful that He′got the only son in his life the next year. What a happycoincidence!

After going around the stone, the Bat Pond comes into our view. It getsthis name because its shape was like a bat. Why he like such an animal? Evenmyself as a Chinese can’t understand this at first. IN most people’s mind, thisanimal represents something evil. Now I get the answer. In Chinese, thepronunciation of bat is…and the pronunciation of happiness is…They are the same!There are 9999 bats in the garden. This is one of the specialties of PrinceGong’s Mansion. Of course, they are not real, hey are pictures or symbols. Haveyou noticed the four elm trees around the pond? Do you feel them a littlestrange? Look! They all grow to the heart of the pond, Their branches are abovethe pond. As a result, when autumn comes, the fruit and leaves of them will dropinto the pond.

Are you confused? Why he built this? Of course, it has a further meaning.The shape of elm’s fruit and leaves is very similar with Chinese bronze coin.He′hinted his ambition to gather all the wealth in his own wallet. At last heactually got it. In addition, all the water in the mansion is circulating. Itwill keep fresh and clear all the year round. If you are careful enough, you mayfind that there are few rivers in Beijing. In ancient time, if you wanted ariver flow over your garden, you must get the emperor’s permission. So it is afairly great honor to have this. You can see how much the emperor appreciateHe′! You can go around to take photos here. It will bring you good luck andwealth because of the pong and the artificial hill. There is a great secretunder the hill. I will tell it to you after a while. Now, if you have anyquestion, ask me please! We will climb the hill after a quarter. Is that OK?

Dandong is located in the northeast of China, in the southeast of LiaoningProvince, across the Yalu River in the East and Xinyi Prefecture of theDemocratic Peoples Republic of Korea, across the Hun River in the northeast andadjacent to Jian City of Jilin Province and Huanren County of Benxi City,Xiuyan County of Anshan in the West, and Zhuanghe City in the southwest. Thestarting point end point China is the northern end of the Chinese mainlandcoastline (the southernmost end of China is the Beilun estuary). The east end ofthe Great Wall in China and the largest border city, built by the river and thesea, can not only feel the charm of the tide, but also feel the slow wind of theriver in Dandong. It is also known as "the most beautiful border city in China".She has five beauties

First, the location is beautiful. Dandong is located at 40 degrees northlatitude, on the same dimension line with the great capital, that is, east ofBeijing. When the sun rises in the East, Dandong is the first city to feel thelight of the sun than Beijing, which deserves to be called the Red OrientalCity.

Dandong is the only "three coastal" border city with "coastal, border andriver" in China. It not only has the first port on the ten thousand mile seaborder line, but also has the convenience of land and sea transportation. Thedeveloped three-dimensional transportation network leads to domestic andforeign. Near the citys 120 km long coastline, there are many islands such asDalu island and zhangdao Island, which are like bright stars scattered in theNorth Yellow Sea. As the first point of the "five points and one line" strategy,the expressway connecting the five points will make Dandong closely linked withother coastal cities in Liaoning Province. Compared with other border cities inChina, it is an important intersection of the economic circle around the YellowSea and the Bohai Sea. It has a 306 km border with the Korean Peninsula and isthe main land passage connecting the Korean peninsula with China and Eurasia.Whether its land transportation to North Korea or water transportation to SouthKorea, there are convenient transportation to the world. In China, there arerailways and expressways leading to Dalian, Shenyang, Tonghua and otherdirections, connecting the transportation network inside and outside theprovince in all directions, convenient and fast. There is neither the "basinconsciousness" and "border consciousness" caused by the location occlusion, northe "Cape consciousness" of the border area, but the unique sense of regionalpride.

Second, the beauty of customs. Compared with the ethnic composition ofother border areas, Dandong is also a multi-ethnic area. Among the 2.4 millionpeople in Donggang City, Fengcheng City, Kuandian Manchu Autonomous County andYuanbao, Zhenxing and Zhenan districts under its jurisdiction, the urbanpopulation is 700000. It has 28 ethnic groups, including Han, Manchu, Mongolian,Hui, North Korea and Xibe, accounting for half of the 56 ethnic groups. Amongthe ethnic minorities, Manchu has the largest population, accounting for 32% ofthe citys population. It is the largest Manchu inhabited area in China, and itis one of the important birthplaces of Manchu. Manchu is one of the mostimportant ethnic minorities in modern China. Not only in the modern history ofChina has a strong brushstroke, but also in real life, Manchu folk customs havepenetrated into the daily life here. On the stage, you will see the "easternborder drum" stirring up. In daily life, you will experience the rough, bold,delicate and gentle national customs. Compared with other border cities, thiskind of rough and unconstrained, delicate and gentle multiple customs israre.

Third, historical beauty. As early as 18000 years ago, our ancestorslabored, lived and multiplied in this rich land. The "qianyangren" cave site andhouwa site reproduce the scenes of the Paleolithic and Neolithic ancients livinghere. This used to be the place of secluded Yan. The bronze swords of Yan andQin Dynasties described the territorial disputes of that time. After Yan and QinDynasties, it belonged to Liaodong county. Wuci county and Xian Ping County inthe Western Han Dynasty were the earliest cities in Dandong and one of theearliest county-level administrative units in Northeast China.

In the first year of Emperor Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty (AD 668),Liaodong, which was under the secession of Xia Dynasty, set up Anton capitalsresidence (the name of Anton city comes from here). In 1876, the Qing governmentset up Fenghuang hall and Anton County, and Kuandian County the next year, withFenghuang hall as its capital. Anton opened a port in 1907 and became theearliest political and economic center in Eastern Liaoning. Anton city wasofficially established on December 1, 1937. In 1965, the State Council decidedto change Anton city to Dandong City, which means "Red Oriental City".

The Yalu River has nurtured Dandong, a beautiful city. As early as the 13thyear of Tongzhi in the Qing Dynasty, "all the land in the East has been banned","all those who know the land and cultivate it, regardless of the flag andpeople, have been registered in the household register", and the hundreds ofmillions of cubic meters of long coveted trees in the Changbai Mountains haveattracted thousands of loggers. The Yalu River flows gently from the foot ofChangbai Mountain to the Yellow Sea. In todays Shahezi area, there is a placefor woodcutters to rest and keep healthy. Naturally, there was the largesttimber based material distribution center in the Yalu River Basin in NortheastChina at that time. Dandong once became the "wood capital" (you may have seen ascene in the TV series Chuang Guandong, where the people who put the raftslanded in Anton). In addition, a large number of grain carriers, all kinds ofmountain goods and local products have gathered in Dandong, and all kinds ofshops have been listed for business. The rise and continuous prosperity ofCommerce has formed the city, which is Dandong. It can be said that the YaluRiver has laid a solid foundation for the birth and prosperity of Dandong.

Fourth, environmental beauty. Compared with other border cities in China,Dandong has a warm temperate climate with four distinct seasons, warm in winterand cool in summer. The annual average precipitation is about 1000 mm, which isthe same as that of Shanghai in the south of the Yangtze River. It is thewettest place in northern China.

Climate makes the environment. The spring in Dandong seems to be cominglate, and I dont want to be far away. When the earth returns to spring, it isthe best season to watch the Dandong City Flower rhododendrons. Therhododendrons all over the mountains make the earth look enchanting. Because thespring is relatively long, and there is no sandstorm weather in the northernspring, the blooming period is also longer. No matter in spring, summer, autumnand winter, it is one of the most comfortable places in northern China. Theweather of more than 30 degrees in summer is only about 5 days. The whole summeris cool. You come to the seaside or scenic spot here for summer vacation andenjoy the beautiful environment endowed by nature. The autumn rainfall inDandong is reduced, and the climate is cool and pleasant. At this time, theginkgo trees on both sides of the streets of Dandong City are full of fruits andgolden. Interestingly, there are few ginkgo leaves left in the whole tribeovernight. The streets paved with ginkgo leaves have become the famous "GoldenAvenue" in Dandong. In the various scenic spots along the Yalu River, themountains are full of red leaves, just like autumn clothes made of colorfulbrocade.

Rivers are products of climate. Due to the humid climate, there are nearly1000 large, medium and small rivers with a length of more than 20__ meters inDandong. Among them, there are four big rivers with a drainage area of more than5000 square kilometers, namely Yalu River, Hun River, Aihe River and Dayangriver. Abundant water resources, annual runoff of 11 billion cubic meters. Thewater quality is excellent, and the density of water system ranks first inLiaoning Province. Dandong is also rich in geothermal hot spring and mineralwater resources, and the reserves of hot spring water are among the top inLiaoning Province. Wulongbei hot spring and Dongtang hot spring are good placesfor tourism, vacation, recuperation, leisure and fitness.

Vegetation is the reference of climate. Due to the humid climate, the greencoverage rate of Dandong is relatively high, and the annual air qualitycompliance rate is 94.8%. In winter, it is one of the warmest areas in NortheastChina. In the Yalu River, a winter swimming team is active all the year round.In the morning fog filled Yalu River, we can see them chasing the waves. In theforest and snow fields of mountainous areas, there are active winter sportslovers on the ski resort. If tourists come here to ski, jump into the steaminghot spring and enjoy the most comfortable time in winter.

Fifth, the beauty of the city. Dandong is a typical cluster type belt City,the widest part is only more than 2 kilometers, and the narrowest part is only afew hundred meters. In addition to five rivers directly flowing into the YaluRiver, there are several large green isolation belts wedged into the urban belt.Compared with those big pie like urban patterns, although the investment ininfrastructure is large, it also creates a city suitable for work and life Itsa good place to live in. When the sea tide and river breeze slowly come, theinherent heat of the city is not isolated from the air. When the sea tide andriver breeze recede, the fragrance of flowers and plants slanting down from thedense forest on the mountains of 17 cities is refreshing. This small town, whichhas been open for only one hundred years, is not an old city, but it has allkinds of ancient construction sites, recording the history of the city. A nearly100 km long landscape road, built along the Yalu River, has become the longestborder landscape road in the world. This road connects the two starting pointsof China, one is the east end of the Great Wall, the starting point of HushanGreat Wall, and the other is the east end of the sea border.

My friends, perhaps the five beauties of Dandong do not fully summarize thetrue meaning of her beauty. You may sum up more beauties of Dandong. Lets saythat Dandongs resources are not only on the ground, but also underground.

Dandong has a total area of 1495 square kilometers. Although its land areais less than 1% of the national land area, it is rich in resources. There aregreen resources on the ground and rich mineral resources underground, many ofwhich rank first in China. Almost the same as the political border line, it isalso in the transitional zone between Changbai flora and North China flora.Dandong has both the characteristics and representative plants of the two flora.There are more than 280 species of fungi in 32 families, 340 species ofbryophytes in 66 families, 80 species of ferns in 21 families and 1300 speciesof seed plants in 103 families. Apart from the border areas in the south, thevegetation here is the most abundant. Many valuable medicinal plants areproduced here, such as ginseng, prickly ginseng, asarum, Gastrodia elata,Schisandra chinensis, sea cucumber and so on. Take tussah as an example. Dandongis a famous tussah town in the world. It not only has a long history ofsericulture, but also has the Oriental color of tussah silk. China is thehometown of silk, and the silk road spreads Chinese silk to the world. Perhapssilk is made of Southern silkworms, while Dandong tussah silk has uniquecharacteristics of jewelry luster, natural luxury, smooth comfort, moistureabsorption and good air permeability. The clothing made of tussah silk fabriccan absorb water and evaporate rapidly in midsummer. It can stick to the skinand keep warm in the middle of winter. It is soft and comfortable. It is warm inwinter and cool in summer.

Dandong is close to the sea. Naturally, it has the characteristics of thesea. Even the dialect of Dandong is mixed with the typical flavor of "Oyster",which may be formed by eating seafood frequently. The seafood and the Yalu Rivertreasure fishery breeding belt, as well as the top ten special products such ashigh-quality rice, chestnut, strawberry, Schisandra chinensis and strawberry arewell-known at home and abroad.

Under the surface, boron, gold, lead-zinc, molybdenum and other mineralsare also stored. Among them, boron ore reserves account for 96.3% of theprovince, 64.2% of the country, ranking first in the country, known as "Boronsea"; gold reserves account for 37.2% of the provinces total gold, rankingfirst in the province.

Dandongs original ecological landscape is well preserved, and its tourismresources are complete and abundant. In the north, there are many greenmountains, in the south, the winding Yalu river connects with the vast YellowSea. Bangshantai, the starting point of the Great Wall in the East, the riversea boundary stele in the north, the bullet marked Yalu River Bridge, the richethnic customs, and the river, mountain, lake, sea, forest, spring and rivermake up countless wonderful landscapes. As an excellent tourist city, Dandong isalso a hot tourist city in Liaoning Province and an important endpoint city ofthe "Golden Triangle" tourist city in Liaoning Province. Dandongs tourismresources can be expressed in five words, that is "man Chao Jiang Shan Lu". Letme give you a detailed interpretation of the connotation of these fivewords:

Manchu -- this is the birthplace of Manchu. Manchu folk customs are richand have penetrated into our daily life. You can enjoy the Manchu Customs onsome special occasions.

North Korea Dandong is directly adjacent to the Korean Peninsula. Theunique customs of the North Korean people can be seen everywhere, whether theylive in Dandong or on the other side. Maybe you come to Dandong for the firsttime. There are three kinds of signs on many stores. One is Chinese, the otheris English, and the third is Korean. Dandong is a truly international city.

Let Me Say aboutUnderwater World

欢迎大家来到这!我是你们的导游，我姓x，大家可以叫我小x。为了便于大家参观游玩，下面我首先大家介绍一下。

到景德镇的第一站就是看古窑。古窑是景德镇第一古窑，内部十分庞大复杂。古窑里面可以制造陶器。古老的圆盘被转动起来，上面可以用手做出一个个瓶等物，然后经过1600度的高温烧制3天之后就做好了。还可以在陶器上绘制各种图画，可以随意画上你喜欢的图案。

为吸引游客，这里还安排了乐队演奏，用的都是瓷器乐器，有笛、钟、琴、二胡等，而且声音清脆悦耳动听，十分美妙。里面的绝品展也是值得一看的，虽然是复制品，但还是让人觉得好看，最酷的是那个108个水浒人物瓷，就像真的一样。

到了陶吧，我用手摸了一下粘土，冰凉冰凉的，舒服极了。我自己还在师傅的帮助下，亲手做了一个。看到自己的作品，我的感觉真好。
