九华山英文导游词一：

Good morning! Ladies and gentlemen! Today, with such great joy, on behalf of Anhui Travel Agency. I’d like to extend our warm welcome to all of you, our distinguished guest from the other side of the Pacific. Please allow me to introduce myself. My name is Li Xin and I work for Anhui Travel Agency .During your short stay in jiuhuashan, I’ll be your local guide. It’s my honor to be of your service. If you have any request, go ahead! I’ll try my best to help you and make your stay comfortable!

It’s my honor to be of your service. If you have any special interest, please let me know, and I highly appreciate your understanding and cooperation.

Ok, now we are heading for Mt.Jiuhua, which is known as one of the four Buddhist Mountains in China. It’s about 30 minutes’ bus ride. On the way you can enjoy the beautiful scenery and I’d like to give you a brief introduction about Mt.Jiuhua.

Mt.Jiuhua was originally known as Jiuzi (Nine-Peak) Mount. Li Bai, a famous Chinese poet over 1300 years ago wrote of the mountain: ”sailing on the Yangtze River, watching Mt.Jiuhua from after, green water falls from the sky, nine lotuses appear in the air.” This expresses the poet’s great admiration for Mt.Jiuhua. From then on, the mountain was renamed as Mt.Jiuhua.

Mt.Jiuhua covers more than 100 square kilometers in area, which has been known to have 99 peaks, and the main peak of the Shiwang Peak is 1342m above sea level. Mt.Jiuhua is full of waterfalls, streams, exotic-looking boulders, ancient caves, old pines and exuberant bamboo. With the richly variegated landscape, the ancient temples are tucked away amid the dense woods and the air reverberates with the tolling of the bells at dawn and dusk. Mt.Jiuhua is usually known as the No.1 Mountain of the southeast.

Ok, I have said too much about the Mt.Jiuhua, and I expect you have got a general idea about it. Seeing is Beliving. I’m sure you will learn a lot about Chinese culture and Buddhism after the visit, and you will also be impressed deeply by the wonderful scenery. Let’s get off the bus and bring your camera. I’ll show you around the scenic areas.

Look! So many monks, why? Yes, that’s it! Because Mt.Jiuhua is a Buddhist mountain. Especially on July 30th of Chinese Lunar is the birthday of Earch Buddha, and a great Buddhist ceremony is held on this day. Around that day every year, the mountain is the site of a temple fair. A large number of monks, nuns, pilgrims and visitors come to burn incense, chant and sacrifice food. The activities of each year are different. Though today is not the festival, we can also enjoy the beautiful scenery. They are: Sunrise at Tiantai Platform, Evening bell of Huacheng Temple, Sitting on East Stone with pleasure, Fairy mark of Tianzhu, Taoyan waterfall, clouds around lotus peak and Phoenix Pine.

Ok, here we are, this is Huacheng Temple of Jiuhua Street. It was the first and oldest of all the temples of Mt.Jiuhua. Over 1500 years ago, Monk Beidu built a simple temple here. Then after 300 years it was reconstructed and named Huacheng Temple.

You see it lies a round plaza. Look at the center! What do you see? Yeah! It is a crescent shaped lotus pond named “Crescent Moon Pond” you can go towards it, what do you see? It is believed that Monk Jin Qiaojue used to free captive fish. Ok, now I say some brief introduction about it and then you can go around it. We’ll gather here after one hour, ok? The temple consists of four parts: the lobby, the grand hall, the back hall and the Scripture Tower. The ground slopes up with each part and the whole layout is natural. The doors, windows, brackets, beams, columns, steps and the cornerstone are carved with exquisite designs. In the hall are preserved horizontal boards inscribed by emperor in ancient time.

Ok! Is everyone here? 1, 2, 3… Ok, now, let’s go to see the Phoenix Pine, in Minyuan Scenic Area. Phoenix Pine is over 1400 years old, and is one of the four decorative trees in Anhui Province.

After seeing Phoenix Pine, we’ll finish our travel, and on behalf of my company, my Chinese colleagues and myself, I’d like to take this opportunity to express my thanks for your consideration, understanding, tolerance and cooperation.

九华山英文导游词二：

Mount Jiuhua is one of the four sacred mountains of Chinese Buddhism. It is located in Qingyang County in Anhui province and is famous for its rich landscape and ancient temples.

Many of the mountain’s shrines and temples are dedicated to Ksitigarbha (known in Chinese as Dìzàng, Traditional Chinese: 地藏), who is a bodhisattva and protector of souls in hell according to Mahayana Buddhist tradition. Pious Buddhists often come to this popular attraction in Anhui to climb to Greater Tiantai peak, which is regarded as Jiuhuashan’s most important peak, although it is not the tallest.

History of Jiuhua Mountain

Jiuhu Mountain, known as a Buddhist wonderland and famous for its large number of temples and beautiful scenery, has been a resplendent pearl of Chinese cultural heritage.

Jiuhua Mountain was formed in the late Cenozoic Era, and Buddhism began in the Northern and Southern Dynasties (420-589) at the mountain. According to historical records, a monk named Fuhu built Fuhu Convent in 503; Monk Tanhao practised Buddhism here in 713; During 713-755, Jin Qiaojue, a Korean aristocrat, came to Jiuhua Mountain and lived in a stone cave at Dongya Peak. His hard practice moved the local people, and they contributed money to build a temple for him. In 781 the local official Zhang Yan presented a memorial to the emperor for the horizontal inscribed board "Huacheng". Upon Jin Qiaojue’s nirvana, it was said that the mountain roared, birds and monkeys cried, and the earth gave out fire and light. His body kept lively three years later, so he was respected as the Earth Buddha, wrapped with earth and has been preserved to present. Roushen Pagoda was built to revere him, and thus Jiuhua Mountain has become the place where Earth Buddhist rites are performed.

The history of Buddhism at Jiuhua Mountain can be divided into five periods: founded in the middle of Tang Dynasty ; decayed from the late Tang Dynasty to the Five Dynasties; slowly developed in the Song and Yuan Dynasties; and greatly developed in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. In the Ming Dynasty, the emperors granted money to rebuild Huacheng Temple for three times and two emperors bestowed inscriptions. The number of temples and nunneries was over a hundred, and many monks and nuns came. It was listed as one of the four famous Buddhist mountains, besides Wutai Mountain, Emei Mountain, and Putuo Mountain.

鲁迅故里导游词

大家好，这天我们要去鲁迅故里参观游玩，我是你们的导游，将带领你们度过愉快快乐的一天，大家能够叫我小黄或黄导。

我们的目的地就快要到了----首先和各位谈谈鲁迅先生。鲁迅是我国伟大的思想家，教育家和文学家，为我国的革命事业做出了巨大的贡献。而鲁迅故里就是鲁迅小时候生活过的地方。

好，我们的目的地已经到了。首先来到大门口，我们能够醒目地看到一块大石像，上方雕刻着“鲁迅故里”四个大字和鲁迅的头像，石像前还有几个小孩正围成一个圈的铜像，他们的神态各不相同，活灵活现。远远望去，好像在谈论对鲁迅先生的无限赞扬。

此刻，在我们的左手边有一块巨大的石碑，上方印着“民族脊梁”四个烫金大字。这块石碑是人们为了纪念鲁迅先生的丰功伟绩专门建造的。

继续向前走，就来到了三味书屋，这儿是鲁迅从12岁开始来寿老先生这儿学习的地方。其中，在学堂中间摆放的是寿老先生的讲桌，桌上放着书和一把戒尺，周围围着的是学生们的课桌，鲁迅的课桌紧挨着墙，在课桌的右下方还端端正正地刻着一个“早”字。关于这个“早”字，还有一个个性的故事呢!

在鲁迅小的时候，他们家境日益贫弱，他的父亲身患重病。每一天，小鲁迅都有要在药铺和学校之间来回奔波。一次，鲁迅为了给父亲抓药，结果上学迟到了，教书的寿老先生不由分说，一把抓起戒尺在鲁迅的手心连打三下。但是，鲁迅并没有因此而痛恨老师，只是默默地在自我的课桌上刻了一个“早”字，以此来告诫自我要珍惜时光。

接下来就来到了百草园。走进百草园，能够发现那里到处是一片生气勃勃的景象。虽然那里只种着几种简单的绿色植物，但那里却时鲁迅童年时最喜欢玩耍的地方。小时候的鲁迅常常在那里捉蛐蛐，爬树，采野果吃，几乎每一天都玩得开开心心，不亦乐乎。

我们的参观这天到此为止，感谢大家的这次参观，欢迎各位下次再来游玩。

欢迎大家来到世界遗产之一——长城。我是大家的导游，姓陶，大家就叫我陶导吧!下面我就要陪同大家一起攀登并简单介绍长城。

大家看长城，它是由巨大的方砖和条石筑成的，由蛋清和糯米汁混合起来的黏液粘。城墙顶上铺着方砖，像很宽的马路，五六匹马可以并行。城墙外沿有两米多高的成排的垛子，垛子上有方形的瞭望口和射口，用来瞭望和射击。一座座城台均匀地建在长城上，打仗时可以用来屯兵。

现在请大家想象，我们现在踩着的长城，是多少劳动人民的血汗和智慧换来的呀!单看这数不清的条石，一块就有两三斤重，就靠着无数的肩膀无数的手，一步一步抬上这陡峭的山岭。这长城，是中华民族共同的骄傲啊!

关于长城，还有一个动人的民间传说。有一个普通农家女叫孟姜女，丈夫新婚当天被衙役抓去充当修长城的民夫。孟姜女风餐露宿来到长城后，知道丈夫早已累死了，她就伤心地大哭起来，哭到哪里哪里的长城就“轰隆”“轰隆”倒了，长城不一会就被哭倒了八百里。

我给大家就介绍到这里了，下面留出一个半小时让大家自己游赏，请注意安全，也不要乱吐乱扔乱攀摘，3：30我在这个老地方等大家集合，一定要准时回来哦。

You all know the Bund in Shanghai! It can be seen that it is one of themost prosperous places in our country, but the former captivity also made herhave a miserable history: in 1845, Britain designated her as its concession, andin 1849, France also occupied the Bund. But how beautiful and prosperous she isin front of the world today!

Last summer vacation, my mother and I came to this loess land known as the"World Architecture Expo". As soon as I arrived at my destination, the waves ofthe Huangpu River attracted my eyes. The green algae glided in the water, itsgentle and slender waist.

As soon as we got out of the car, we came to the Asia building, theheadquarters of China Pacific Insurance Company. The lintel of the building isalso designed in broken pattern, which is beautiful and vivid. Further on, wecame to Dongfeng Hotel, once the most luxurious club in Shanghai - ShanghaiFederation. It has a bar of more than 110 feet, known as the longest bar in theFar East. We went on and came to a red house. After the guides explanation, Irealized that this was the famous steamship investment promotion company.Walking along the Huangpu river bank, the famous tower of Shanghai is a glance:the Peace Hotel, Pudong development building and the Oriental Pearl TV Toweropposite the Huangpu River, the world financial center.

At the end of Nanjing Road, there is a bronze statue. He stares at theflowers and grass. Who is he? He is general Chen Yi, the first mayor of Shanghaiin New China. Looking at the statue, I seem to see General Chen Yi inspectinghis work in the wind and rain. His simple image and amiable, open-mindeddemeanor once again deeply imprinted in my heart.

Its getting dark. We came to the hotel, ate in a hurry, and then we wentback to the Bund. At this time, the sky has become dark red, and the lights ofthousands of families have been turned on in the sky. We came to the "Bundcruise terminal" to take a boat sightseeing.

We came to the cruise ship, the ship slowly driving on the Huangpu River,the lights on the shore printed on the water, as if it had become a wide pair ofoil paintings, water, quiet, seemingly dark but bright. After getting off theship, we went straight to the tallest building in Shanghai, the world financialcenter.

We took the high-speed elevator in the world financial center. Its saidthat he has the highest speed of 10 meters per second! In less than 2 minutes,we came to the top 100 floor of the building, where the floor is transparent,walking on it is really a kind of "list of mountains and small" pleasure. Atfirst glance, there are colorful lights everywhere, cars are shuttling, and theHuangpu River is even more beautiful. The stars on the opposite side of theOriental Pearl TV Tower rain are linked into one piece, forming a beautifulscene of "sky and even Pujiang". I heard that Shanghais electricity bill willspend nearly 300 thousand yuan a day.

I looked at the charming lights motionless, only feel the heart clear aswater, I, intoxicated!

诸位游客，大家好。

平遥古城，历史悠久。据载：西周时期周宣工为抵御北方游牧民族的侵扰，曾派兵北伐萨犹，并修建了京陵城。京陵城就建在今平远县城东北约7公里的京陵衬，京陵二字作为地名一直沿用至今。这可以说是平遥建城的开端，也是现在乎迢城的前身。从那时起，至今已有2800年左右历史了。

现在这座平送城始建于何时，历史上没有明确记载。大约在北魏太武帝朽跋燕时，为避名讳，将原来的平陶县改为乎迢县.并把县治从别处迁到这里。建城时间应该是这以后的事。在湿长的历史岁月中.这里曾有过她的繁华，也曾多次道受战火的破坏。我们现在看到的这座城墙，是明代洪武三年，即1370年把原来的土城墙加高加厚加砖扩建而成的，明清以来虽曾数次维修，但风格未变。

北投温泉位于大屯火山群、金山断层上，为中国台湾百年来最著名的温泉乡。北投温泉的泉源主要来自地热谷及行义路底的龙凤谷，地热谷涌出的热泉澈绿似玉，称为青磺;由龙凤谷接管引来的白磺又称为星汤，两种泉质均有治疗慢性关节炎、肌肉酸痛、慢性皮肤炎等疗效。时至今日，也有许多爱汤族喜欢晨昏来北投泡泡澡，再漫步一遭，格外神清气爽。

到北投，住宿温泉旅馆享受一晚温泉乡情调，或是泡个温泉澡当日往返，都是不错的选择：如光明路244号的泷乃汤，已近90年历史的泡汤文化，男女大众池，分池而浴;原名星乃汤的逸屯及幽雅路上的吟松阁，其木造建筑及庭院仍保留着日式情调，提供泡汤休息、住宿用餐;春天酒店是国际级温泉渡假饭店，属最高价位的享受;其他还有热海、泉都、嘉宾阁、新年庄饭店等提供一般住宿。

尊敬的游客们：

大家好!我是来自卓越旅行团的姜x。大家可以叫我“小润”或“姜导”。我很荣幸能够成为大家的导游。俗话说“居庸之险不在关，而在八达岭”。今天，我就带大家去一睹八达岭长城的真面目。

长城位于北京市，它有一万三千多公里。本来是为了抵御敌人的攻击而建造的，而现在国家的军力很强，所以长城就成了一处景点。你们看，长城很宽，它能容纳5、6匹马并肩同行，一点儿都不挤。它不仅宽阔，几千年下来，也毫发未损，非常的坚固。

请低头仔细看一看我们脚下踩得砖头，游客们，它们平均有两三千斤重。请你们仔细想想，在一个没有起重机的年代，它们是怎么做到的呢?它们靠着无数的人民，靠着一双双手一砖一瓦的砌成的。朋友，您一定会感到震惊，毕竟长城是他们的劳动和智慧的结晶啊!

游客们，抬头看看那巨大的烽火台，它是当年屯兵的堡垒。它们两两之间相距100多米，上面的狼烟是士兵们的专属信号，当时没有手机这种通讯工具，就靠放狼烟来通知其他士兵。

关于修筑长城，民间流传着这样一个故事：孟姜女哭长城。在故事里，一个名叫范喜良的男子与孟姜女幸福地生活在一起，但好景不长，一天，一些官兵抓走了范喜良，说是要让他去修建长城。孟姜女见丈夫迟迟不归，就出去打听他的下落。一个路人告诉着急的孟姜女：“他不幸累死了，被其他人埋在长城下面。”孟姜女难过极了，噙着泪水，一步一步走向长城。她再也忍不住了，嚎啕大哭起来，整整哭了三天三夜，那眼泪把一段长城冲垮了，范喜良的尸骨露了出来。于是，孟姜女背上丈夫的尸骨，回家去了。

关于长城，我大部分已介绍完毕。剩下的时间请大家尽情游玩，3小时后原地集合，感谢大家的支持。

广州光孝寺位于广州市光孝路109号，是岭南历史最为悠久，影响最为深广，规模最为宏大的寺院。寺址本是西汉南越王赵佗玄孙赵建德的府第。三国时，吴国骑都尉、易学家虞翻被流放南海，居此讲学，时人称为“虞苑”。因苑中多植苛子树，又称“苛林”。东晋隆安年间(397—401年)，译佛教重要论典《舍利弗阿毘昙》的罽宾国(今克什米尔)高僧昙摩耶舍在此创建佛殿，名王苑朝延寺，俗称王园寺。

光孝寺位于广州人民公园之北，占地三万平方米，是全国重点文物保护单位。该寺已有一千五百多年历史，广州有"未有羊城，先有光孝"一说，此话虽未必正确，但该寺是广东最古老的建筑之一。

该寺始建于三国，寺名屡变，至南宋绍兴二十一年(1151年)而定今名。唐代仪凤元年(676)高僧慧能在寺中戒坛前菩提树下受戒，开辟佛教南宗，被称为“禅宗六祖”，为该寺增添了不朽的光彩。此后殿宇日多，对中国佛教的发展有一定的影响。

荷李活道，有时亦称作荷里活道，位于香港中环至上环。荷李活道，深具香港中西文化合璧的特色，是香港开埠后兴建的第一条街道。游客主要都是来购买中国古董为主，其中有不少都是珍贵文物，

荷李活道东端连接著兰桂坊，旧中区警署(前香港警察总部)也位于此街，在旧中区警署侧中央广场的Dragon-i酒吧，曾吸引多位足球明星访港时到此消遣。连接中环与半山区的中环至半山自动扶梯系统，亦途经荷李活道。 在上环一端荷李活道附近的摩罗上街和乐古道，则是著名的古董和怀旧物品集中地。

“荷李活道”的名字与美国电影业的好莱坞无关，却来自早年荷李活道一带的冬青树。

荷李活道最初是殖民地时期首条街道，早在1841年英国人登陆香港岛时便开始兴建。后在荷李活道中环部分的旧中区警署，于1864年落成，1919年进行扩建，今日亦被列为香港法定古迹。

由于早年统治香港的英国人聚居荷李活道一带的半山区，中环荷李活道南边一段的苏豪区英文名字“Soho”除了取源于英国伦敦苏豪区外，起初也是来自“荷李活道的南边”的英文缩写“South of Hollywood Road”。今天的苏豪区充斥著不少充满外国特色的餐厅和酒吧。

交通

1、于金钟太古广场外乘26线巴士，往荷李活道下车。

2、地铁中环站 D1出口右转至戏院里，沿皇后大道中往中环中心方向，再乘半山自动扶梯往荷李活道。

今天就给大家分享两篇国内关于英文的导游词给大家欣赏，希望你们喜欢哦。谢谢欣赏。

湖北三峡英文导游词

Good morning, ladies and Gentlemen, Welcome to China! Welcome to Hubei Province!

Today I am very pleased to show you Three Gorges of Yangtze River.

At first I’ll have a brief introduction of Yangtze River, the Yangtze River, the biggest river in China, the third longest in the World, starts with the Tuotuo River at the Roof of the World -Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, takes in countless rivers, and flows eastward across the interior of China. With an overall length of more than 6,300 kilometers, the Yangtze River, next only to the Amazon and the Nile, is the third biggest river in the world and is a cradle that breeds the ancient civilization of the Chinese nation.

When the Yangtze River reaches the eastern Sichuan Basin in southwest China, it cuts through the Wushan Mountain. Here the river course suddenly narrows and the waters become turbulent. Sheer cliffs and steep mountains rise on either side, creating one of natures most fantastic sights. The Three Gorges---Qutang, wuxia and xiling----start just after Fengjie and end near Yichang, stretch about 200 kilometers. The Gorges vary from 300metres at their widest to less than 100 meters at their narrowest.

Qutang Gorge is the smallest and shortest Gorge, but grandest of the three. The Yangtze River, mighty and rapid here is suddenly contained like a thousand seas poured into one cup, as the Song Dynasty poet SU Tungpo described the spectacle. High on the both bank, at a place called Bellows Gorge, are a series of crevices. This area is said to have been the home of an ancient tribe whose custom was to place the coffins of their crevices, some containing bronze swords, armour and other artifacts, but the coffins are believed to date back as far as the Warring States Period (475bc----221BC)

Wu Gorge extends 40 kilometers along which the river snakes between based strange-shaped mountain peaks, each of which has a reputation based on a beautiful legend. The story of the 12 Peaks of Wushan goes like this: 12 nymphs once descended to enjoy themselves in the secular world. Finding how perilous Wushan Gorge was, they decided to stay there to protect ships. As time went by, they transformed themselves into 12 peaks. The Goddess Peak, the most graceful of the 12, is said to have been yaoji, the youngest daughter of the Queen mother of the Western Heaven .Goddess Peak stands out from the other peaks on the northern bank to be the first to greet the morning sun and the last to bid it farewell, hence its another name, Viewing the glow Peak. Seen at a distance, it resembles the silhouette of a beautiful young lady.

Down stream from the zigzagging Wuxia Gorge is Xiling Gorge which stretches 78 kilometers eastward and the cliffs on either side rise to just over 900 meters. Xiling Gorge is awesome with its dangerous rapids, shoals, reefs, sharp turns, billowy whirlpools. The water at one point is so turbulent that it seems to be boiling during the flood season. Xiling Gorge in the east consists of several small gorges. On the top of another is a rock that looks like a sword. On the crag of the north bank are two pieces of brown rock, which are named Bulls Liver and Horse Lung, whose shape they take. Next does the Lantern Shadow Gorge, which has four rocks, resemble Monk Xuan Zang and his three disciples---Monkey, Piggy and Sandy in the classic Chinese adventures of the four on their way to India to obtain Buddhist scriptures.

Around the last bend of Xiling Gorge stretches a vast plain. The river suddenly becomes wide here. Travelers on the Yangtze cruise may also visit many sites of historical and scenic interest along the river banks including the ruined of baidi Town and Precious Stone Village.

Everyone knows that the Yangtze Gorges are changing since the well-known Three Gorges Dam Project is being built at Sabdouping, Yichang, Hubei Province. The dam is 181 meters in height. Its construction investment comes up to 203.9 billion rmb, equals to 24.65 billion U.S. dollars. The installed power generation capacity is expected to be 18.2 million kilo watts. With the dam built, the flood in the Yangtze River valley will be controlled, navigation improved besides the economic benefits. Tourism will be little affected. Many cultural and historical relics are now being removed to a higher ground before the rise of the water level approaches.

Ladies and Gentlemen, the time has gone very quickly and your trip is drawing to a close. It’s a pity that you cannot stay here any longer. Please allow me, then, take this opportunity to thank you for your cooperation and understanding, and if you come back in the future, I hope to see you again and be your guide again.

北京故宫英文导游词

(In front of the meridian gate)

Ladies and Gentlemen:

I am pleased to serve as your guide today.

This is the palace museum; also know as the Purple Forbidden City. It is the largest and most well reserved imperial residence in China today. Under Ming Emperor Yongle, construction began in 1406. It took 14years to build the Forbidden City. The first ruler who actually lived here was Ming Emperor Zhudi. For five centuries thereafter, it continued to be the residence of23 successive emperors until 1911 when Qing Emperor Puyi was forced to abdicate the throne .In 1987, the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization recognized the Forbidden City was a world cultural legacy.

It is believed that the Palace Museum, or Zi Jin Cheng (Purple Forbidden City), got its name from astronomy folklore, The ancient astronomers divided the constellations into groups and centered them around the Ziwei Yuan(North Star). The constellation containing the North Star was called the Constellation of Heavenly God and star itself was called the purple palace. Because the emperor was supposedly the son of the heavenly gods, his central and dominant position would be further highlighted the use of the word purple in the name of his residence. In folklore, the term ”an eastern purple cloud is drifting” became a metaphor for auspicious events after a purple cloud was seen drifting eastward immediately before the arrival of an ancient philosopher, LaoZi, to the Hanghu Pass. Here, purple is associated with auspicious developments. The word jin (forbidden) is self-explanatory as the imperial palace was heavily guarded and off-explanatory as the imperial palace was heavily guarded and off-limits to ordinary people.

The red and yellow used on the palace walls and roofs are also symbolic. Red represents happiness, good fortune and wealth. Yellow is the color of the earth on the Loess Plateau, the original home of the Chinese people. Yellow became an imperial color during the Tang dynasty, when only members of the royal family were allowed to wear it and use it in their architecture.

The Forbidden City is rectangular in shape. It is 960 meters long from north to south and 750 meter wide from east west. It has 9,900 rooms under a total roof area 150,000 square meters .A 52-meter-wide-moat encircles a 9.9-meter—high wall which encloses the complex. Octagon —shaped turrets rest on the four corners of the wall. There are four entrances into the city: the Meridian Gate to the south, the Shenwu Gate(Gate of Military Prowess) to the north, and the Xihua Gate(Gate of military Prowess) to the north, and the Xihua Gate(Western Flowery Gate )to the west ,the Donghua (Eastern Flowery Gate) to the east.

Manpower and materials throughout the country were used to build the Forbidden City. A total of 230,000 artisans and one million laborers were employed. Marble was quarried from fangshan Country Mount Pan in Jixian County in Hebei Province. Granite was quarried in Quyang County in Hebei Province. Paving blocks were fired in kilns in Suzhou in southern China. Bricks and scarlet pigmentation used on the palatial walls came from linqing in Shandong Province .Timber was cut ,processed and hauled from the northwestern and southern regions.

The structure in front of us is the Meridian Gate. It is the main entrance to the forbidden City. It is also knows as Wufenglou(Five-Phoenix Tower). Ming emperors held lavish banquets here on the 15th day of the first month of the Chinese lunar year in hornor of their counties .They also used this place for punishing officals by flogging them with sticks.

Qing emperors used this building to announce the beginning of the new year. Qing Emperor Qianglong changed the original name of this announcement ceremony from ban li(announcement of calendar)to ban shou(announcement of new moon )to avoid coincidental association with another Emperor` s name, Hongli, which was considered a taboo at that time. Qing Dynasty emperors also used this place to hold audience and for other important ceremonies. For example,when the imperial army returned victoriously from the battlefield ,it was here that the Emperor presided over the ceremony to accept prisoners of war.

(After entering the Meridian Gate and standing in front of the Five Marble Bridges on Golden Water River)

now we are inside the Forbidden City.Before we start our tour, I would like to briefly introduce you to the architectural patterns befour us .To complete this solemn, magnificent and palatial complex, a variety of buildings were arranged on a north-south axis, and 8-kilometer-long invisible line that has become an inseparable part of the City of Beijing. The Forbidden City covers roughly one –third of this central axis. Most of the important building in the Forbidden City weree arranged along this line. The design and arrangement of the palaces reflect the solemn dignity of the royal court and rigidly –stratified feudal system.

The Forbidden City is divided into an outer and an inner count.We are now standing on the southernmost part of the outer count. In front of us lies the Gate of supreme Harmony .The gate is guarded by a pair of bronze lions ,symbolizing imperial power and dignity. The lions were the most exquisite and biggest of its kind. The one on the east playing with a ball is a male, and ball is said to represent state unity. The other one is a female. Underneath one of its fore claws is a cub that is considered to be a symbol of perpetual imperial succession. The winding brook before us is the Golden Water River. It functions both as decoration and fire control .The five bridges spanning the river represent the five virtues preached by Confucius :benevolence, righteousness, rites, intellence and fidelity. The river takes the shape of a bow and the north-south axis is its arrow. This was meant to show that the Emperors ruled the country on behalf of God.

(In front of the Gate of Supreme Harmony)

The Forbidden City consists of an outer countyard and an inner enclosure. The out count yard covers a vast space lying between the Meridian Gate and the Gate of Heavenly Purity. The “three big halls” of Supreme Harmony, Complete Harmony and Preserving Harmony constitute the center of this building group. Flanking them in bilateral symmetry are two groups of palaces: Wenhua (Prominent Scholars) and Wuying (Brave Warriors) . The three great halls are built on a spacious “H”-shaped, 8-meter-high, triple marble terrace, Each level of the triple terrace is taller than the on below and all are encircled by marble balustrades carved with dragon and phoenix designs. There are three carved stone staircases linking the three architectures .The hall of supreme Harmony is also the tallest and most exquisite ancient wooden-structured mansion in all of China. From the palace of Heavenly Purith northward is what is known as the inner court, which is also built in bilaterally symmetrical patterns. In the center are the Palace of Heavenly Purity, the Hall of Union and Peace and Palace of Earthly Tranquility, a place where the Emperors lived with their families and attended to state affairs. Flanking these structures are palaces and halls in which concubines and princes lived. There are also three botanical gardens within the inner count, namely, the imperial Garden, Caning garden and Quailing garden. An inner Golden Water River flows eastwardly within the inner court. The brook winds through three minor halls or palaces and leads out of the Forbidden City. It is spanned by the White Jade Bridge. The river is lined with winding, marble –carved balustrades. Most of the structures within the Forbidden City have yellow glazed tile roofs.

Aside from giving prominence to the north-south axis, other architectural methods were applied to make every group of palatial structures unique in terms of terraces, roofs, mythical monsters perching on the roofs and colored, drawing patterns. With these, the grand contour and different hierarchic spectrum of the complex were strengthened. Folklore has it that there are altogether 9,999 room-units in the Forbidden City. Since Paradise only has 10,000 rooms, the Son of Heaven on earth cut the number by half a room. It is also rumoured that this half –room is located to the west of the Wenyuange Pavilion (imperial library). As a matter of fact, although the Forbidden City has more than 9,000 room-units, this half-room is nonexistent .The Wenyuange Pavilion is a library where “Si Ku Quan Shu”- China `s first comprehensive anthology-was stored.

(After walking past the Gate of Supreme Harmony)

Ladies and Gentlemen, the great hall we are approaching is the Hall of Supreme Harmony, the biggest and tallest of its king in the Forbidden City. This structure covers a total building space of 2,377 square meters, and is know for its upturned, multiple counterpart eaves . The Hall of Supreme Harmony sits on a triple “H”-shaped marble terrace the is 8meters high and linked by staircases. The staircase on the ground floor has 21 steps while the middle and upper stairways each have 9.

The construction of the Hall of Supreme Harmony began in 1406. It burned down three times and was severely damaged once during a mutiny. The existing architecture was built during the Qing Dynasty. On the corners of the eaves a line of animal-nails were usually fastened to the tiles. These animal-nails were later replace with mythical animals to ward off evil spirits. There are altogether 9 such fasteners on top of this hall. The number nine was regarded by the ancients to be the largest numeral accessible to man and to which only the emperors were entitled.

There was a total of 24 successive emperors during the Ming and Qing dynasties who were enthroned here. The ball was also used for ceremonies which marked other great occasions: the Winter Solstice, The Chinese Lunar New Year, the Emperor` s birthday, conferral of the title of empress, the announcement of new laws and policies, and dispatches of generals to war .On such occasions, the Emperor would hold audience for his court officials and receive their tributes.

This area is called the Hall of Supreme Harmony Square, which covers a total of 30,000 square meters, Without a single tree or plant growing here, this place inspires visitors to feel its solemnity and grandeur. In the middle of the square there is a carriageway that was reserved for the Emperor. On both sides of the road the groud bricks were laid in a special way seven layers lengthwise and eight layers crosswise, making up fifteen layers in all. The purpose of this was to prevent anyone from tunneling his way into the palace. In the count yard there are iron vats for storing water to fight fires. In the whole complex there are altogher 308 water vats. In wintertime, charcoal was burned underneath the vats to keep the water from freezing .Why so vast a square? It was designed to impress people with the hall` s grandeur and vastness. Imagine the following scene. Under the clear blue sky, the yellow glazed tiles shimmered as the cloud-like layers of terrace, coupled with the curling veil of burning incense, transformed the hall of supreme Harmony into a fairyland. Whenever major ceremonies were held, the glazed, crane-shaped candleholders inside the hall would be it, and incense and pine branches burnt in front of the hall. When the Emperor appeared, drums were beaten and musical instrument played. Civilian officials and generals would kneel know in submission.

The last Qing emperor Puyi assumed the throne in 1908, at the age of three, His father carried him to the throne. At the start of the coronation, the sudden drum-beating and loud music caught the young emperor unprepared .He was so scared that he kept crying and shouting,”I don’t want to stay here. I want to go home.” His father tried to soothe him, saying, ”It` all soon be finished .It` all soon be finished ”The ministers present at the event considered this incident inauspicious. Coincidentally, the Qing dynasty collapsed three years later and there with concluded China `s feudal system that had lasted for more than 2,000 years.

(On the stone terrace of the Hall of Supreme Harmony)

This is a bronze incense burner. In it incense made of sandalwood would be burnt on important occasions. There are altogether 18 incense burners, representing all of the provinces under the rule of the Sing monarchs. On either side of the Hall, 4 bronze water-filled vats were placed in case of fire. Next to the terrace on either side, there is a bronze crane and tortoise, symbols of longevity. This copper-cast grain measure is called ”jialiang.” It served as the national standard during the Qing dynasty. It was meant to show that the imperial ruler were just and open to rectification. On the other side there is a stone sundial, an ancient timepiece. The jialiang and the sundial were probably meant to show what the Emperor represented: that he was the only person who should possess the standards of both measure and time.

In the very forefront of the Hall of Supreme Harmony , there are 12 scarlet , round pillars supporting the roof. The hall is 63 meters from east to west and 37 meters from north to south, It is 35 meters in height. In front of this architechture, there stands a triple terrace with five staircases leading up to the main entrance .It has 40 gold doors and 16 gold-key windows with colored drawings on the pillars and beams. In the middle of the hall, a throune carved with 9 dragons sits on a 2-meter-high platform. Behind the throne there is a golden screen and in front of it, there is a imperial desk . The flanks are decorated with elephants, Luduan(a legendary beast), cranes, and incense barrels. The elephant carries a vase on its back that holds five cereals(i. e. rice, two kinds of millet, wheat and beans),which was considered a symbol of prosperity. As ancient legend has it that luduan can travel 18,000 li (9,000 kilometers )in one day and knows all languages and dialects. Only to a wise adjust monarch will this beast be a guardian.

The Hall of Supreme Harmony is also popularly known as Jinluan Dian (gold bell hall or the throne hall). The floor of the hall is laid with bricks that turn it into a smooth, fine surface as if water has been sprinkled on it .The so-called golden brick, in fact, has nothing to do with gold. Reserved exclusively for the construction of the royal court, it was made in a secretive, and complex way, and, when struck, sounds like the clink of a gold bar. Each brick was worth the market price of one dan (or one hectoliter ) of rice.

The hall is supported by a total of 72 thick pillars .Of these, 6 are carved in dragon patterns and painted with gold and surround the throne. Above the very center of this hall there is a zaojing, or covered ceiling, which is one of the Specialities of China `s ancient architure. In the middle of the ceiling is a design of a dragon playing with a ball inlaid with peals. This copper ball, hollow inside and covered with mercury, is known as the Xuanyuan Mirror and is thought to be made Xuanyuan, a legendary monarch dating back to remote antiquity. The placing of the caisson above the throne is meant to suggest that all of China` s successive emperors are Zuanyuan` s descendants and hereditary heirs. Now you might have noticed that the Xuanyuan mirror is not directly above the throne. Why? It is rumored that Yuan Shikai, a self-acclaimed warlord-turned emperor moved the throne further back because he was afraid that the mirror might fall on him .In 1916 when Yuan Shikai became emperor, he removed the original throne with a Western-style, high-back chair. After the foundation of the People` s Republic of China in 1949 the throne was found in a shabby furniture warehouse. It repaired and returned to the hall.

(Leading the tourist to the bronze vats either on the east or the west)

the water vats in front of the palaces or house were called “menhai,” or sea before the door by the ancient Chinese. They believed that with a sea by the door, fire could not wreak havoc. The vats served both as a decoration and as a fire extinguisher. They were kept full of water all year round.

During the Qing Dynasty, they were altogether 308 vats in the palace enclosure. They were made of gilt bronze or iron. Of couse, the gilt bronze vats were of the best quality. When the allied forces (Britain, Germany, France, Russia, the United States, Italy, Japan and Austria) invaded Beijing in 1900 under the pretext of suppressing the Boxer Rebellion, the invaders ransacked the imperial compound and scraped and gold off the vats with their bayonets. During the Japanese occupation of Beijing, many vats were trucked away by the Japanese to be made into bullets .

(In front of the Hall of Complete Harmony)

The square architecture before us is called the Hall of Complete Harmony. It served as an antechamber. The Emperor came here to meet with his countiers and add his final touches to the prayers which would be read at the ancestral Temple. The seeds, snowers and prayer intended for spring sowing were also examined here. The two Qing sedan chairs here on display were used for traveling within the palace during the reign of Emperor Qianlong.

(In front of the hall f Preserving Harmony)

this is the Hall of Preserving Harmony. During the Qing Dynasty, banquets were held here on New Year` s eve in honour of Mongolian and Northwestern China` s xingjiang princes and ranking officials. The Emperor also dinned here with his new son-in-law on the wedding day. Imperial examinations were also held here once every three years. During the Ming and Qing dynasties, there were three levels of exams: the county and prefectural level, the provincial level and national level. The national exam was presided over by the emperor. The civil service exam in ancient China started during the Han Dynasty. It served the purpose of recruiting Confucian scholars to the ministers and high officials. During the Tang and Qing dynasties reinstituted and ancient system. Once every three years, three hundred scholars from all over the country came to Beijing and took exams for three day and night. This system was abolished in 1905.

(Behind the hall of preserving harmony)

this is the largest stone carving in the palace . It is 16.73 meters long, 3.07 meters wide and 1.7 meters thick .It weighs about 200 tons. The block was quarried in Fangshan County, roughly 70 kilometers away. To transport such a huge block to Beijing, laborers dug wells along the roadside half a kilometer apart, and used the groundwater to make a road of ice in the winter. Rolling blocks were used in the summer. In 1760, Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty ordered the carving of the existing cloud and dragon design in place of the old one which dated back to the Ming Dynasty.

Note : From here, the tour can be conducted via three different routes: a western route(Route A), a central route (Route B) or an eastern route (Route C) .The commentary for each follows.

Route A

Ladies and Gentlemen:

You have seen the three main halls of the Forbidden City. Now I ` d like to show you around the hall of mental cultivation and the imperial garden . The hall of mental cultivation is situated is in the western part of the innermost enclosure and is symmetrical to Fengxian (enshrinement of forebears) Hall in the east. This hall was built during the Ming Dynasty. IT is a H-shaped structure consisting of an antechamber and a main building .The hall is surrounded by corridors. In front of the hall is the Office of Privy Council.

Before Emperor Kangxi of Qing the Dynasty came to power the Hall of Heavenly Purity served as the living quarter of the emperors. Emperor Yongzheng chose to live in this hall and attended to every day state affairs from here .For the sake of protecting cultural relics, this hall is not open to the public .You can have a look at the inside from the door. The central hall was the audience chamber where the emperor read memorials, granted audience to officials and summoned his minsters for consultation. The western chamber of the hall was where the emperor read reports and discussed military and political affairs. The hall consists of many inner rooms and is decorated with images of Buddha and miniature pagodas. On the screen wall there hangs a picture of two emperors in the Han costume. In a southern room there three rare calligraphic scrolls, hence the name of the room “Sanxitang” (Room of Three Rare Treasures) . The room on the eastern side is of historical interst because it was here that Empress Dowager Cixi usurped power and made decisions on behalf of the young emperor . A bamboo curtain was used to separate them .

Empress Dowage Cixi was born in 1835 in Lu` an Prefecture of shanxi province. She` s of Manchurian nationality and her father was a provincial governor from south China. When she was 17 years old ,she was selected to become a concubine of Emperor Xianfeng and moved into the Forbidden City. She gave birth to a son when she was 21years old and was made a concubine the following year. When the emperor passed away in the summer of 1861, her son ascended the throne and title of Cixi, meaning “Holy Mother” was conferred upon her and she became the Empress Dowager. In that same year Empress Dowager Cixi carried out a count coup d` etat and ruled behind the scenes with another empress dowager, Ci` an, for 48 years. She passed away in 1908 at the age of 73. It was in reference to this situation that the term “attending to state affairs behind a bamboo curtain” developed .In 1912 , Empress dowager Longyu declared the abdication of the last Qing emperor Puyi. They were allowed to remain in the Forbidden City for the next 13 years .The royal family was forced to move out permanently in 1924.

Behind the central hall were the living accommodation of 8 successive Qing emperors .Three of them actually passed away here. The side rooms flanking the hall were reserved for empresses and concubines. Now let` s continue with our tour. It will take us to the Hall of heavenly purity , the hall of union and peace ,the palace of earthly tranquility, and the imperial garden.

Route B

(Inside the Hall of heavenly Purity)

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We are now entering the inner court. From the Gate of Heavenly Purity northward lies the inner court where the emperors and empresses once lived .The Hall of heavenly Purity is the central hall of the inner court ,and was completed during the Reign of Emperor Yongle of the Ming Dynasty. There are 10 pillars supporting the entire structure and the hall is 20 meters in height .In the center of the hall there a throne. Above it hangs a plaque with an inscription that reads “Be open and above-board,” written by Shenzhi,the first emperor of the Qing Dynasty. Beginning with Qianlong` s reign, the name of the successor to the throne was not publicly announced .instead, it was written on two pieces of paper, one to be kept on the emperor` s person throughout his reign, and the other placed in a small strongbox that was stored behind his plaque. The box was opened only after the emperor passed away. Altogether there where 4 emperors who ascended the throne in this way, namely Qianlong, Jiaqing, Daohuang and Xian feng.

The hall of heavenly purity was where the emperors lived during the Ming and Qing dynasties. According to tradition ,extravagant annual banquets were held here on New Year` s Eve in honour of royal family members. Foreign ambassadors were received here during the late-Qing period. Two important “one thousand old men` s feasts” of the Qing Dynasty were also held here. All the invitees had to be at least 65 years of age.

This hall was also used for mourning services.

(Inside the Palace of Union and Peace)

this hall sits between the Hall of heavenly Purity and the Palace of Earthly Tranquility, symbolizing the union of heaven and earth ,as well as national peace .It was first built in 1420 and reconstructed in 1798. The hall is square in shape ,and is smaller than the Hall of complete Harmony .You will see a plaque here inscribed with two Chinese characters, wu wei, which were handwritten by Emperor Qianglong. A throne sits in the middle of the hall with a screen behind it .Above the throne there hangs a caisson ,or covered ceiling. The emperor held birthday celebrations and other major events here.

In 1748 during Emperor Qianlong` s reign, 25 jade seals representing imperial authority were kept in this hall .No seals were allowed out of the room without the prior consent of the emperor. On each flack there is a water clock and a chiming clock.

(Inside the palace of earthly tranquility)

This used to be the central hall where successive Ming empresses lived. During the Qing dynasty, it was converted into a place where sacrifices and wedding ceremonies were held .The room on the western side was used for sacrifices and the room on the east was the seeding chamber.

Route C

Ladies and Gentlemen:

You have seen the three main halls of the Forbidden City. Now I` d like to show you around scenes of interest along the eastern route. The first is the Treasure Hall. This mansion is called the Hall of Imperial Zenith. This is where Sing Emperor Quailing lived after abdication. Nearly 1,000 artifacts and treasures are on display here, among which the Golden Hair Tower is one of the most famous. This tower is 1.53meters in height and its base is 0.53 meters in circumference .It was built under the order of Emperor Quailing to be used to collect fallen hair in commemoration of his mother. There is also a “Day harnessing Water Jade Hill ” on display here. Yu was a legendary monarch of the remote Ixia dynasty. Under his leadership, the people learned how to harness the Yellow River. This jade assemblage, 224 centimeters in height and 5 tons in weight, is the largest jade artwork in China. This mat was woven with peeled ivory. These artifacts are among China` s rarest treasures.

(In front of the Nine-Dragon Screen)

this is the Nine-Dragon Relief Screen .Erected in 1773,it is 3.5 meters in height and 29.4 meters in width. Underneath is a foundation made of marble .The surface of the screen is laid with a total of 270 colored, glazed tiles in the design of 9 dragons ,some rocky mountains ,clouds and the sea. It was meant to ward off evil spirits The ancient Chinese regarded 9 dragons, some rocky mountains, clouds and the sea. It was meant to ward off evil spirits .The ancient Chinese regarded 9 as the largest numeral and the dragon as a auspicious beast .The 9 dragons are different in color and posture and all are made of glazed tiles. Interestingly a piece of the third dragon from the left is made of wood. It is believe that when the Nine-dragon Screen was almost finished ,a piece of glazed tile was damaged .Emperor Qianlong was scheduled to inspect the work the following day .Using quick wits, the craftsman in question molded the missing piece with clay and sailed through the imperial inspection. Later ,he asked a carpenter to carve a wooden one to replace the one made of clay.

(Approaching the Imperial Garden)

Behind the Palace of Earthly Tranquility and trading the north-south axis is the imperial Garden. There are old trees, rare flowers and exotic rock formation in this garden .It cover a space of 11,700 square meters, or roughly 1.7 percent of the Forbidden City. Most of the structures in the garden are symmetrically arranged . However, each is different in terms of parrern and decoration. Woods clumps of bamboo screen off the garden and strengthens its deep and serene atmosphere.

There main structure of the Imperial Garden is the Qin` an Hall. Positioned in the central-northern part of the garden ,this hall is flanked by other halls and pavilions on the east and west. The hall sits on a marble pedestal. The Taoist deity of Zhenwu is enshrined here and emperor would pay homage here a quarterly basis. Taoist rites were held during the reign of Emperor Jiajing of the Ming Dynasty. In front of the hall there is a cypress that is 400 years old .In all there are a dozen such rare trees in the garden, and most of them are cypresses or pines. To the northwest of the hall , there is the Yanhui(Sustaining Sunshine) Pavilion and to the northeast there lies the Duixiu (Accumulated Refinement )Hill. This Hill was built over the foundation of the long- pershed Guanhua (Admiring Flowers) Hall of the Ming Dynasty. It is 14 meters in height and made of al kinds of rocks quarried in jiang su province. At its base stand two nstone lions, each carrying a dragon shooting water 10 meters up into the air from its mouth. There are meandering paths leading to the hilltop. At the top of Duixiu Hill sits the Yujing (Imperial Viewing)Pavilion. Traditionally, On the day of the Double Ninth Festival (the ninth day of the ninth lunar month ), the emperor ,his consort, and his concubines would climb up to Yujing Pavilion to enjoy the scenery.

At the southeastern corner of the Garden is Jiangxue(Crimson Snowy) Verandah. Nearby to the southwest lies Yangxing Study (study of the cultivation of nature) .The yangxing study was used as a royal library during the reign of Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty. The last emperor of the Qing Dynasty, Puyi once studied English there. In front of the Jiangxue Verandah some Chinese flowering crabapples grow. The structure got its name from the crabapples who blossoms trun from crimson to snowy white. In front of the Verandah, there grows a rare flower that was brought from henna Province under the order of Empress dowager Cixi. In the northest is Chizao Tang (Hall of Using Flowery Language), once used as a library where rare books were stored.

There are also specific pavilions symbolizing the four seasons .The halls of Wanchun and Qianqiu ,representing spring and autumn respectively ,are square in shape and are coupled with multiple eaves and bell-shape and are coupled with multiple eaves and bell-shaped ridges. The halls of Chengrui and Fubi,dedecated to winter and summer, are characterized by two verandahs and bridges at their bases .Paths were paved with colorful pebbles and arranged in 900 different designs.

The Imperial Garden can be accessed through the Qiong yuan (Jade Garden )West gate or the qiong yuan east gate. A third gate, the shunzhen(Obedience and Fidelity)Gate, opens to the north. Its doors are laid in glazed tiles and it was only used by the empress or concubines.

As our tour of the Forbidden City draws to a close, I hope that I have helped you understand why the Palace is a treasure of China and one of the cultural relics of the world. It is under the strict protection of the Chinese government. Since 1949 when the people` s Rupublic of China was founded, nearly one trillion RMB was spent on its restoration and refurbishment. The Forbidden City has undergone four major facelifts to date. Each year, the government earmarks a large sum to gather, sort and study cultural relics. The Palace now contains a total of 930,000cultural relics. Well, so much for today .Let` s go to reboard the coach. Thank you !

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. Its east part is asmall square array with 6334 curved barrels. In the south of pit No.2, there are64 chariots forming a Na square array, each row has 8 chariots, a total of 8Fei; in the middle, there are 19 chariots and unarmed soldiers with chariots; inthe north, there are chariots and cavalry. In the north is a cavalry formationcomposed of 6 chariots, 124 pommel horses and 124 cavalry. Now, we come to pit3, which is 25 meters west of Pit 2. The pit was discovered in 1976. It isconcave shape, covering an area of 520 square meters. stay

In Pit 3, archaeologists found only one chariot and 64 Samurai stabs. Theystand opposite each other, holding the weapon man (SH6).

南湾花园位于葡京酒店附近的加思搁兵营前，又称加思搁花园。

花园分为高低两部分：低部位于南湾街与家辣堂街之间；高部再分两级，有石阶相连，位于家辣堂街兵营斜巷，加思搁新马路及东望洋新街之间。

南湾花园高部在东洋望山麓，建有一座颇为别致的圆柱形建筑物，高为两层，为欧战纪念馆，纪念第一次世界大战的阵亡葡军。馆外四面有圆拱形的门窗，墙壁塑有圆案花纹，顶端筑有皇冠形状的装饰，引人注目。现时已改为伤残人士协会。

伫立庙前，遥望对岸澳门半岛，八景之首“镜海腾龙”的`美景尽收眼底，确是都市人逃离繁嚣，平静心境的大好去处。在路?朊碛钪校?观音岩颇为与众不同。

一般的庙宇，习惯上多称为“庙”，独是这间被冠以“岩”之名，这与它的起源有直接关系;其次，庙宇的创建过程多是先建庙后请神，观音岩却正好相反，先有神像，再建庙堂;其三，在庙内右墙上，挂有一形状独特的铁块。状若蝙蝠，乃取“福”字谐音，敲之则声音洪亮震耳。

据值理称，当年建庙时由于经费拮据，为节省支出，故权以此充作铁钟之用。该庙的石刻上所记的年份，观音岩乃创建于清朝同治辛未年，即一八七一年，至今已有逾百年的历史了。

Everyones heart has a built in fantasy of Paris, may be the atypical "Notre Dame DE Paris" romantic, maybe its "human comedy" latter-day flashy. Everyone who has been to Paris to evaluate different, some people say it cold, some people say that it is expensive, some say it chaos. But there is one word always are in Paris, that is: vogue.

On the perfect axis extension, stood a completely different, modern Paris: skyscrapers, glass curtain wall, rush around financiers, like every modern city in the world. Really? It is a model as the arch of the building, and has been dubbed the "la defense, the arc DE triomphe" name. The pride of the Paris people will never forget yesterday, maybe because of this, to always stand in the forefront of fashion in Paris.

Feel about Paris fashions ankles should be a shopping crazy. They knew all about fashion trends, eyes sharp, both quick and accurate. Maybe only have so many senior department store in Paris, so many famous brand stores, can satisfy their unremitting pursuit of fashion.

Paris presents different features in different peoples eyes, if you want to know what she will be how to smile to you, lets go to visit her.

八仙山，距蓟县城东北30公里，地处北京、天津、唐山、承德四市之腹心，东邻金碧辉煌的清东陵，西接巍峨壮观的黄崖关长城，南濒碧波荡漾的翡翠湖，北依雄奇险秀的雾灵山，这里是天津市地势最高，群峰汇集的地方，900米以上的山峰有19座，主峰“聚仙峰”海拔1052米，是天津市的最高峰，其总面积达53.6平方公里，森林覆盖率达95%以上。

八仙山原名“八仙桌子”，相传铁拐李等八位散仙遨游东海经过此地，被这里云雾遮罩的奇峰、峡谷、幽林、秀水所吸引，便降下祥云，在一块二米见方的巨石旁野餐小憩，后来人们把这块巨石称为“八仙桌子”这万亩山林因此得名“八仙山”。

八仙山国家级自然保护区，峰峦迭翠，林海苍茫，谷壑幽深，溪流潺潺，是座动植物种类繁多的宝库，被誉为“绿色王国”。这里乔木伟岸，灌木丛生，芳草萋萋。多年来，由于交通不便，加之这一带为清东陵风水禁地，封闭达280年之久，人迹罕至，故“藏在深闺人未识”。

在保护区内不但分布着362余种植物，有相当一部分属国家重点保护植物和多种珍禽异鸟，而且也是天然的中草药宝库，生长着各种中草药200多种。

近些年，经过专家考察论证，确认它是华北地区乃至地球同纬度罕见的保留有原始森林特性的天然次生阔叶林区，具有相当典型的森林生态系统。1995年11月经国务院国函(1995)108号文件批准建立“天津八仙山国家级自然保护区”。1999年11月22号经国家科协批准为全国首批科普教育基地。

据考证：保护区地层是距今14亿至18亿年间古海沉积的长城系石英岩，八亿年前海退成陆，一亿年前“燕山运动”断裂、褶皱、隆起，呈现出山地风貌。这里属暖温带湿润性季风气候。肥沃的土壤，丰沛的降水，适宜的温度，为植物的生长，动物的繁衍生息提供了得天独厚的生态环境，使八仙山成为华北地区少有的最大、最有代表性的天然植物园，野生动物园。

各位游客朋友们：

大家好！

非常欢迎大家来到三峡大坝，我是大家的导游，我姓潘，大家就叫我小潘吧。

首先，让我们一起来说说我们的三峡工程吧。

三峡工程是中国人民用智慧和汗水创造的冲破性伟大工程。它举天下之力而建，以是，在场的每一位前辈，你们都为其做出过贡献，它是我们共同的自豪！

接下来我们要去三峡大坝的最佳观景点——坛子岭观景台。大家上去的时候要注重安全。站在坛子岭上，凭栏眺望，高峡平湖就在眼前延伸。巍然耸立的三峡大坝如巨龙横江，和沿岸的群山相连，十分的壮观。

由于三峡水库属峡谷河道型水库，坝上湖面并不十分隔阔。站在坛子岭上能看到的湖面在几公里外就消失到峡谷中去了，远没有鄱阳、洞庭的浩淼和壮阔。但它摄人心魄的壮美是深藏不露的，因为我们眼前的那一汪江水示明的是人类对世界第三大江河的征服，承载的是一个人的共同体一百年的梦想。我相信，在场的每一位前辈均可以或许读懂这种美，因为那是属于中华人的共同体的大壮美，那是中华人的共同体崛起在新时代的伟大标志。

好了，我的讲解就要结束了，接下来大家可以自由参观，我们11点在三峡展览馆门跟前集合，谢谢大家。

赤嵌楼导游词范文3篇

赤崁楼位于台南市中区赤崁街与民族路交叉口上的赤崁楼，原为荷兰人所建。下面是第一范文网为大家带来的赤嵌楼导游词范文，希望可以让大家喜欢。

篇一：赤嵌楼导游词范文

欢迎大家来到这里，下面我来为大家介绍一下!

赤嵌楼位于民族路、赤嵌街交叉口，列属一级古迹。明永历7年(1653年)，荷兰人于此兴建普罗民遮城，郑成功驱逐荷兰人，以此为承天府署。入清后，经多次修缮，始成今貌。

回溯赤嵌楼的历史，荷人所建的普罗民遮城，目前仅剩城堡大门和文昌阁旁的砲座遗迹可供凭吊。清朝重建，包含文昌阁、海神庙、五子祠、蓬壶书院、大士殿五栋建物。

现今的赤嵌楼周长为45丈3尺，高3丈6尺，共分三层，雕栏凌空，轩豁四达;内部则陈列文史资料及相关文物，除了历年修护情况及建物变迁相关图文外，原为蓬壶书院一部分的文昌阁，还奉祀着一尊魁星爷，据说这尊原供书院师生参拜以求金榜题名的魁星爷极为灵验，每届考季，神案上便排满了各色准考证、学生证，祈求神灵护佑!

篇二：赤嵌楼导游词范文

赤楼原为荷兰人所建。早期的汉人称荷兰人为红毛，所以也把赤?楼叫做“红毛楼”，或称“番仔楼”;目前赤?楼列为国家一级古迹，也是台南代表性的名胜。荷兰殖民时期，荷兰人在赤嵌地方建了一座具有防卫功能的普罗民遮城(赤嵌楼)。到了郑成功登台赶走荷兰人，进驻普罗民遮城，设置承天府于赤嵌楼。后因郑成功迁移至安平热兰遮城(安平古堡)，普罗民遮城被当成放置军火库使用，一直到清朝将中国台湾纳入版图为止。 清朝时民众在普罗民遮城旁建筑了一座大士殿，荷式城堡旁首次出现中国清式楼格建筑。后来日军侵占中国台湾，将赤嵌楼改为陆军卫戍医院。到了1935年赤嵌楼被指定为重要史迹。

光复后，几经整修，将原有的木造结构改为钢筋混凝土，将主要入口由西改为南向，1982年被列为一级古迹。 赤?楼的历史 自荷据时代、郑氏治台时期，至清朝康熙年间，由于天灾战乱，赤?楼除城垣外，皆倾颓殆;到了光绪5年，中国式传统亭台楼阁在原有基座上慢慢取代了原有的荷式城堡建筑，大士殿、蓬壶书院、五子祠、海神庙、文昌阁都在此时出现。 之后再经风灾毁坏、日本人重新修建，赤?楼改为陆军卫戍医院，到了1935年赤嵌楼被指定为重要史迹;光复后，几经整修，将原有的木造结构，改为钢筋混泥土，将主要入口由西改为南向; 后来，在民国54年、81年的重修，在旧址地基上修建文昌阁、海神关及蓬?书院，加上台南市历史博物馆，遂成今日的规模。

赤楼的建筑特色 今日的赤?楼已完全看不出当年荷兰人所建的“普罗民遮城”的模样，文昌阁与海神庙两座红瓦飞檐的中国传统建筑是赤?楼的标记，海神庙位于南面，文昌阁位于北面，二者屋顶均是重檐歇山的表现，重檐之间实即为二楼部分，绕以绿釉花瓶栏杆;文昌阁前的石马后方有一个门洞，就是当年普罗民遮城的大门; 目前赤?楼分三层，楼上以砖石砌成，有曲折的通道;楼上飞檐雕栏，赤?城楼下有九只大石龟各负丈余的石碑，是乾隆亲撰旌表平定林爽文之乱的御碑。此外还有别处迁来的断足石马、郑公墓道碑等古物，颇为特别。

另外，赤?楼还拥有广阔的庭园，除了可供游人散步以外，庭园中也摆设了多项历史文物，其中最引人注目的就是一字排开的御龟碑，驮着碑的其实并非龟，而是龙九个儿子之一，名为“”，传说中善?重物，因此常被用来做为碑的底座。 开放时间： 白天：08：30~17：30 夜间：17：30~21：00 门票费用： 全票50、半票25 台南市市民凭身分证免费 团体票30人以上8折 台南市中区民族路212号 公交车：搭乘台南市公交车5、88、99路，于赤?楼下。 自行开车： 台南(仁德)交流道下，循182道县往台南市区经东门圆环取北门路再左转民族路直抵，全程约6.5公里。

篇三：赤嵌楼导游词范文

赤嵌楼位于台南市民族路和赤嵌街的交叉口，也是中国台湾南部代表性的名胜。由荷兰人兴建，原名称为普罗民遮城。中国台湾人都称它为“红毛楼”或“番子楼”。郑成功驱逐荷兰人后，就改建为承天府署，并充作火药军库。后经多次修缮，并将台南市历史博物馆迁入，就成今日的规模。文昌阁奉祀着一尊魁星爷，据说这尊供书院师生参拜以求金榜题名的魁星爷极为灵验，至今香火不掇。

文昌阁下面的断足石马，取自林爽文事变中阵亡的清廷武官郑其仁的墓前。沿着阶梯上楼，右为赤嵌楼，左为文昌阁，其间有座半圆形石砌井，为荷兰人建城时所凿，故称为“红毛井”。相传此古井下有一条隧道可通平安古堡，郑成功攻占台南市时，荷兰人即由此隧道逃走。惟两地相距达6公里，此说尚待考证。

赤嵌楼内展示有郑成功的塑像、画像、海战摧敌图和刘永福治军中国台湾图案等。并有古代船只雕刻模型。文昌阁内则展示现阶段中国台湾军事武力图和中国台湾十大建设模型等，阁外旁侧尚有1座郑成功受降图纪念碑，以及1张中国台湾古地图。除了古迹览胜之外，“赤嵌夕照”也是中国台湾八景之一，每当傍晚时分，红霞余辉映赤嵌，景色壮丽非凡，让人为之惊赞。

大家好，很荣幸能当你们的导游，大家可以叫我小悦导游，这次我们到的是世界遗产之一——乐山大佛。好，我们出发吧!

游客们，这里是乐山的港码头，请看对面的山，那就是凌云山。请仔细观察，那就是乐山的巨型睡佛，又叫隐形睡佛。它位于乐山城侧的三江(岷江、大渡河、青依江)汇流处，形态逼真的佛头、佛身、佛足由乌尤山、凌云山、东岩连襟而成，南北直线距离约1300余米，头南足北仰卧在三江之滨。巨型睡佛的胸部就是世界有名的乐山大佛，形成了“佛中有佛”的奇观。游客们，我们来到了大佛的脚下，请往上看，大佛通高71米，肩膀宽24米，头直径10米，耳朵有7米，劲高3米，指长8.3米，眉毛和鼻子的长度是5-6米，嘴巴和眼睛的长度3.3米，头上有1021个发根。现在大家亲眼目睹了，名不虚传吧!

据传：乐山大佛开凿于唐玄宗开元初年(公元720xx年)。当时，岷江、大渡河、青依江汇合于此，水流直冲凌云山脚，势不可挡，洪水季节水势更猛，过往船只常触壁粉碎。凌云寺的名僧海通见此甚为不安，于是发起修造大佛。一使石块坠江减缓水势，二借佛力镇水。海通募集20xx年，筹得一笔款项。海通去世后，剑南川西节度使韦皋，征集工匠，继续开凿，朝廷也诏赐盐麻税款予以资助，至到820xx年，历时90年大佛终告完成。

“佛是一座山，山是一尊佛;带领群山来，挺立大江边。”他造型广严，设计巧妙，以他不变的体态和姿容，给人以无穷的思索和遐想。据传：他老人家为镇住水妖，历经千年风霜雪雨，自今仍端坐在滔滔江水畔，静观人间沧海桑田。他老人家建国后两次显灵，1963年乐山地区饿死人无数，飘尸从老人家眼前流过，老人家不忍看，一夜之间闭上了眼睛。所以，现在你们手里拿的大佛是闭上了双眼。1996年被联合国教科新文组织列为世界级的文化与自然遗产，他当之无愧的成为世界级的璀灿明珠。

我的介绍到此结束，以下请你们慢慢欣赏大佛。请不要在景区乱涂乱画，爱护景区的一草一木，谢谢。

重阳那天，正是忘情闲踏绿莎茵的好日子，莲花山行作文。于是，我与几位朋友结伴去登莲花山。

莲花山，虽无泰山之巍峨，华山之险峻，但亦有自身的秀丽，有那“浪下三吴起白烟”的悠逸。仰头一望亦是：矗立堆螺排黛色，巍巍拥翠成岚光，浑似青黛染成千块玉，碧纱笼罩万堆烟。莲花山下五丛榕，翠盖迎宾礼碧峰。此地名唤：“五丛榕”，因有五大榕树而得名，树皆长得蒙蒙茸茸，郁郁苍苍，宛如五条青龙盘旋在一起，虽参差各异，但皆有迎客之感。

“咚、咚、咚……”远处传来了声声钟磬之音，低沉、洪亮、悠扬。循声觅迹，我们来到了莲花古寺。香烟渺渺彩满门，松柏森森青绕寺，总觉得祥云光满，瑞霭香浮。寺前，观音大士慈祥端庄，手中玉瓶流出的水珠，晶莹透澈，碰到水面便如玉佩相撞，响起清脆之音，也许，她是在为我们洗尘吧!

好一块清虚灵秀地!

一路古木苍苍，翠竹葱茸。过了寺，我们吹着轻快的口哨在山间小路中穿行。半山腰有一血红色的地方，状似脚印，人称“仙脚迹”。这里一直流传着一个古老的传说：当年，散游人赤脚大仙四处云游，因见此处风景宜人，于是在此逗留一番，欣赏着这“满地落红如布锦，遍山发翠似堆茵”的多娇景色。心一感慨脚一跺，便留下这一脚印。也许是“山不在高，有仙则名”吧，慕名而来的人也就越来越多了。

走着走着，竟有如寄蜉蝣于天地之间，不是“莲花”真面目之感，当云雾来时尤为如此，蒙烟横远岫，白雾锁奇峰。这里最美的要算天池吧，它可是最令我们心驰神往的地方。到天池之路，艰辛而曲折。这虽是树林荫翳的曲幽小径，但亦要留下不少汗水。其路程决不可小虚，所以能实际到达的人还是屈指可数的。

其实呢，即使到不了天池，也能看到从天池留下来的一泓溪水――那是竹竿溪的，想想就知道，它是又小又长的。

潺潺流水接天池，聒聒飞禽鸣远岱。果真一点不假，两旁的青松绿柏，一路的苍松碧藓，使得更加深邃幽静，阴翳清凉，使得涧水的“叮咚”之声更清越，山谷更静谧。难道，这就是“人朝上走，水往低流”的吗?

皇天不负有心人。或许是“会当凌绝顶”的信心，或许是“众里寻他千百度”的毅力，总之，我们来到了天池旁边。绿波轻漾，水光滟潋，清风徐来，泛起微微的涟漪，那是一份纤尘不染的洁净，一份美妙蕴藉的和谐，一份宁静的幽邃。更妙的还是这些水全是天然矿泉水，喝一口便觉得甘甜非常，泌人心脾润彻肺腑，即使是警幻仙子的“万艳同杯”也不如，王母娘娘的玉液琼浆也难及。

池旁有一小庙，人称“仙公庙”，听说很灵验，所以香火不断。山之巅峰，有一天井，百多米长，七八十米宽，其深不可测，一望便似被抽了三魂七魄，心惊胆跳的，真是“无限风光在险峰”啊!

此时，夕阳西坠，暮霭悄然为翠山笼上轻纱，我们向落日仅留的余辉走去。

一瞬间，恍惚天光山色，和人，皆融入这绚丽的彩霞中。
