Therefore, we can say that thebase camp of the Miao people is in Guizhou, and the base camp of the Miao peoplein Guizhou is in Xijiang.

② Miao nationality is a hardworking nationality. It has a long history andis closely related to Jiuli, Sanmiao and Jinman in ancient times. They are in acontinuous line. Therefore, Miao nationality comes from Jiuli in emperors timeand Sanmiao in Yao, Shun and Yus time, while jingman in Shang and ZhouDynasties is a descendant of Sanmiao The second great migration finally arrivedin Guizhou, which is located in the southwest of China. They took root here andcreated the Miao culture with Guizhou characteristics. Guizhou is the placewhere the Miao people live and the area where the Miao culture is mostcompletely preserved.

This time, lets witness the so-called "living world heritage" - YongdingTulou! See the Hakka culture in Tulou. Now we are going to the Hakka Tulou.During this time, I will briefly introduce the Hakka Tulou to you. Hakka Tulouis located in the Yongding boundary of Longyan, Fujian Province. It is a uniquemagical mountain residential building in the world and a wonderful flower ofancient architecture in China. It has a long history, unique style, large scale,exquisite structure, warm in winter and cool in summer. It is a very uniquebuilding.

Look at the earth buildings. The most conspicuous ones are round ones. Theyare like ancient official hats. They are welcoming tourists from all over theworld. It seems that they want us to have some official luck. Round earthbuildings are Hakka dwellings. The round building is generally composed of twoor three circles, from the inside to the outside, with rings covering eachother. Tulou is a precious heritage of Chinese civilization, reflecting thewisdom of the nation and a long culture. In the mountains of Yongding, there arethousands of Tulou, which is known as "a pearl of Oriental civilization". From adistance, we cant help sighing at the circular enclosure - "flying saucersfalling from the sky, mushrooms emerging from the ground". It is said that inthe 1960s and 1970s, US spy satellites took photos of China and were surprisedto find that there were many unidentified large-scale buildings, either round orsquare, distributed in the mountainous areas of Fujian Province. After analysis,they were considered as "missile launch bases", and Chinas military strengthcan not be underestimated. Only after the establishment of diplomatic relationsbetween China and the United States did the United States know that theso-called "missile launch base" was actually a typical Hakka residentialbuilding, Tulou!

I hopped forward and introduced as I walked - the magnificent earthbuilding Prince "Zhencheng building" was displayed in front of us! The roundearth building is like a dish, a castle and an iron ring Approaching Zhenchengbuilding, you can see that it is a civil structure building made of clay andstone. Although there is no reinforced concrete, it is as strong as stone. Thethickest wall is more than one meter. Years have left cracks on the wall, makingthe earth building more simple. Standing at the gate of Zhencheng building,there are mountains in the back, flower beds, bamboo groves and streams in thefront. The flowers and plants match each other, and the flowing water murmurs.Under the blue sky, in the chirp of robins, and in the natural air conditioningwith gentle breeze, looking around, it is like a beautiful picture offairyland!

Zhencheng building is mainly composed of two round buildings inside andoutside, forming a building with buildings inside and outside, which is veryspectacular. The outer building has four floors, with many rooms on each floor.In addition to ventilation, the upper floor has windows, which can also be usedto defend the enemy in ancient times. The bottom floor is the kitchen and diningroom, as well as the bath room and livestock pen. The most amazing thing is thatthere are two wells on the bottom floor, which are clear on one side and muddyon the other. Therefore, they are called "Yin Yang wells"; the second floor isthe grain warehouse, and the third and fourth floors are bedrooms. The floor ofthe corridor on each floor is paved with green bricks to achieve soundinsulation and fire prevention. The whole floor is composed of eight units. Eachunit is equipped with a staircase, and there are doors between the units. Thewonderful thing is that there is a fire wall between the units, and a fire willnot affect the whole building. The door of the building is made of wood about 10cm thick and nailed with iron plate, which can defend the enemy When attacking,even if the enemy attacks with fire, he will have nothing to do. Once the thiefenters the house, he can close the unit door with a bang, and then he will beable to catch a turtle in a jar. Earth buildings with the function of fireprevention, enemy prevention and earthquake prevention are not earth at all!

Tulou village has beautiful mountains and waters, without the hustle andbustle of a big city. The winding ancient stone path, teahouses and shops on thestreet, and cooking smoke in Hakka houses all show a picture of the folk customsof Yongding town, giving people a simple and novel feeling.

Welcome to Haixi tourism again. Ill introduce you one by one!

Xintiandi is located in the center of Shanghai. (Xintiandi. Shanghai) is acity tourist attraction that shows the historical and cultural features ofShanghai. It is a recreational pedestrian street with food, commerce,entertainment and culture based on the unique old building of Shikumen inShanghai. Based on the integration of the West and the East and the combinationof the old and the new, the traditional Shikumen Lane in Shanghai is integratedwith the new buildings full of modern feeling.

Outside the door is a charming variety of stone Kumen alleyway, the door isa completely modern way of life, one step away, as if separated from the world,really through the sense of time and space! And the colorful streetperformances, new fashions of fashion activities, bring the dynamic fashion ofmodern fashion for the new world, become the leader of the modern trend.Shanghai Xintiandi rewrote the history of Shikumen, and injected new vitalityinto the Shikumen, which has already moved to historical relics.

Xintiandi has become the new landmark of Shanghai, and it is the best placeto appreciate Shanghais history, culture and modern life form. Covering an areaof 30000 square meters and a construction area of 60000 square meters, theShikumen complex retains the brick walls and roof tiles of that year. Visitorsseem to enter the time tunnel and return to the 1920s. But inside everybuilding, tailored to the lifestyle, rhythm and emotional world of modernurbanites in twenty-first Century, they become international galleries,boutiques, theme restaurants and coffee bars. The..0 distance covers all theattractions of Shanghai the Bund, Shanghai Xintiandi, Shanghai Forest Park andso on.

At the beginning of the 21st century, Shikumen Lane in Shanghai is still aconcentrated expression of dilapidated, crowded and poor living conditions inthe minds of many young people. Fortunately, even so, there are still a group ofnostalgic literary masters who make architectural culture complex, so that manypeople find the beauty hidden behind it.

In Shanghai Xintiandi Shanghai language, it is called "hoop" such as hoop,wrapped or wrapped by one thing, such as a hoop, so the building of the stonehoop gate is called "stone hoop gate" and then it is falsely called "Shikumen".It is generally believed that the main gate of this kind of building is made ofstone with solid thick wood and a copper ring. Compared with traditional Chinesehouses, it tends to be conservative. Shikumen residence in Shanghai rose in the1860s. In 1860, the Taiping Army headed by Li Xiucheng, a loyal king, launchedan eastward movement to conquer Zhenjiang, Changzhou, Wuxi, Suzhou, Ningbo andother cities in southern Jiangsu and Northern Zhejiang, forcing tens ofthousands of refugees from southern Jiangsu and Northern Zhejiang to seek refugein Shanghai concession. In order to accept the refugees, the concessionmobilized businessmen to invest in housing construction. In order to make fulluse of the land, most of these houses were built as row connected Shikumen lanehouses. In order to cater to the traditional Chinese family living style,Shikumen not only imitates the western style houses, but also imitates thecommon houses in the south of the Yangtze River. After entering the door, thereis a patio. Behind the patio is the living room (called "guest hall" byShanghainese). Then there is the back patio. After the day after tomorrow, thereis the kitchen and the back door.

On both sides of the patio and the guest hall are the left and right wingrooms. The layout of the second floor is basically similar to that of the groundfloor, except that the upper part of the kitchen is the "Pavilion", and theupper part is the sun terrace. Its representative buildings include xingrenli,which covers an area of 1.33 hectares, on the east side of Henan Middle Road,between Ningbo Road and Beijing Road, and dunrenli, mianyangli, Jixiang Li,etc., on xintoujie street, Zhongshan South Road. After the beginning of thiscentury, with the change of Shanghai residents family structure to small familystructure, the living habits of residents have also changed significantly. Thestructure and style of Shikumen residence have changed. There are "singleentrance" (no wing room) and "two entrances" (one passenger hall and one wingroom) suitable for small families. It has a large scale, the lane is about 4meters wide, and the floors are mainly 2-3 floors; pavilions are set at thestair platform, and balconies are used in the facade; 20__ After the s, sanitaryequipment was generally installed. Its representative buildings include Jinganvilla on Nanjing West Road and new mainland village on Shanyin road. After the1930s, due to the shortage of housing in Shanghai, some residents rented outtheir spare rooms to others, so most of the Shikumen changed their originaldesign intention and became a multi family house.

The Shikumen residence, which is from childish to mature, constitutes aLane community with private space and public space interlaced. In thiscommunity, while enjoying personal space, it is easier for residents tocultivate a more harmonious and intimate neighborhood relationship. As a result,we all know exactly what we cook and whats going on in that family. With theincrease of residential density, residents gradually move their familyactivities to the public space in the lane, which further strengthens theoriginal neighborhood intimacy. In the meantime, there are more and morefrictions, whether between young people or between young people and old people.These frictions and quarrels are just about "you use more of my gas", "youinvade my territory" and so on.

Shanghai Xintiandi Shikumen lane has more than 9000 places at most,accounting for more than 60% of the total residential area in Shanghai. Simplyfrom the perspective of architecture, Shikumen is the product of a specifichistorical period, which has a history of more than 100 years. Moreover, thespatial structure of some Shikumen is not suitable for the living concept ofmodern people, so it is normal for them to disappear. In the early 1990s,Shanghai began large-scale reconstruction and development. Many old houses inShikumen have been demolished and replaced by high-rise buildings one by one.One by one, old houses full of nostalgia are gradually disappearing. Only thendo people realize that they want to preserve these unique "artworks" inShanghai.

Shanghai Xintiandi rewrote the history of Shikumen, and injected newvitality into the Shikumen, which has already moved to historical relics.Walking in the new world is like returning time to the past. The green brickwalk, the red and green brick walls, the thick black paint gate and the lintelcarved with Baroque style swirling mountain flowers make tourists feel like theyare in Shanghai in the 1920s and 1930s. However, stepping into the interior ofeach building is very modern and fashionable. The original partition walls ofevery house have been completely opened, presenting a spacious space. Thecentral air conditioning is like spring all the year round. The European stylefireplace and sofa are adjacent to the eight immortals table and Taishi chair inthe East. The bar and coffee room are in harmony with the teahouse and Chineserestaurant. The modern oil painting and the vertical old phonograph on the wallare quietly pouring out the owners cultural taste. Outside the door is theShikumen alley with all kinds of customs. Inside the door is a completely modernway of life. In this way, one step away, it feels like a world away. It reallyfeels like crossing time and space.

When it comes to Henan, people cant help but think of the ancient capitalsof Luoyang and Kaifeng, Shaolin Temple, oracle bone inscriptions, bronzes and soon. However, if the distinguished guests want to bring some special products ofHenan to their relatives and friends after enjoying these places of interest,then I recommend one gift to you, which is Xinyang Maojian, Chinas famoustea.

Xinyang Maojian, produced in Jigong Mountain, Xinyang, Henan Province, isone of the famous teas in China. It gets its name because it is all picked fromthe tender leaves of the tea plant and then refined. It often drinks XinyangMaojian, which has the functions of clearing heart and improving eyesight,lowering blood pressure, refreshing mind and prolonging life. For a long time,it has been called the best tea.

Speaking of tea, this is the pride of Chinese people.

Tea has a long history in China. The hometown of tea is China. Both tea andsilk are important inventions dedicated to the world by the Chinese workingpeople. As early as 5000 years ago, it is said that when Shennong, the distantancestor of the Chinese nation, was in power, he was unfortunately infected with72 kinds of viruses in order to find herbs for curing diseases. He was in greatpain and finally found tea to detoxify the virus. Since then, people know thattea can cure diseases and has medicinal functions. Later, in the long-termproduction and life, people gradually found that tea boiling water also had astrong thirst quenching effect. Therefore, Chinese people began to have aspecial preference for tea, and Chinese tea culture was born.

Speaking of Chinese tea, its really a university. First of all, lets knowthe classification of tea. Generally speaking, tea is divided into twocategories: basic tea and reprocessed tea. The basic tea categories includegreen tea, black tea, oolong tea, white tea, yellow tea and black tea.Reprocessing tea includes flower tea, pressed tea, fruit tea and health tea.

These two kinds of tea have different characteristics. For example, greentea is characterized by green leaves and clear soup. Its main varieties areLongjing in Hangzhou, Biluochun in Suzhou, Yunwu in Lushan in Jiangxi, Guapianin Luan in Anhui and Maojian in Xinyang in Henan.

The basic characteristic of black tea is that the leaves are red and thesoup is red. The main varieties are Qimen black tea from Anhui, Dianhong teafrom Yunnan and Ninghong tea from Jiangxi.

Oolong tea belongs to semi fermented tea. Its main varieties are Wuyishanrock tea in Fujian, Tieguanyin in Anxi, and frozen top Oolong in Chinese Taiwan.

White tea is a slightly fermented tea, mainly produced in Fujian. Black teahas a long fermentation time and dark leaves, so it is called black tea and canbe drunk directly.

The flower tea in reprocessing tea is usually made by green tea afterabsorbing the fragrance of flowers, which is popular in northern China. The mainvarieties are jasmine tea, brandy tea and osmanthus tea.

Pressed tea is processed and autoclaved into a certain shape, such as bricktea, Puer tea, etc., so it is easy to store and transport, and is generallysold to Chinas border areas. In ancient China, the tea sold to the border areaswas monopolized by the imperial court. Whether it was sold to the borderminority areas was a means for the central court to control the border areas. Atthat time, the tea sold to the border areas was mainly brick tea.

The invention of fruit tea and health tea is relatively late. Fruit tea isa kind of tea beverage made by adding fruit juice into the production, such aslemon tea and orange tea. Health tea is made by adding Chinese herbal medicineinto the tea, which strengthens the prevention and treatment effect of tea.

Dear tourists

hello everyone!

Welcome to Xian.

Xian, a famous historical and cultural city, is located in the middle ofWeishui plain on the West Bank of the Yellow River. Here is a vast expanse offertile land, a vast expanse of eight hundred Li Qinchuan. On the land of China,this dazzling pearl inlaid in the southern end of the Loess Plateau, once had aworld-famous, extremely brilliant history and culture, but also had green watersand mountains, extremely beautiful natural landscape.

In the East and west of Xian, the Qinling Mountains, known as the"Oriental Alps", are crisscrossed and meandering. On this beautiful scenic line,there are Huashan Mountain, which is known as the first of the five mountains,Lishan Mountain in Lintong, which is famous for its hot spring soup pools,Zhongnan mountain, which is green in all seasons and rare in its interior, andTaibai Mountain, which is called a wonder for its snow cover in June. They forma natural and unique scenery group. In ancient Changan, there were eightrivers, namely, Weishui River, Chanshui River, bashui River, Laoshui River,Fengshui River, haoshui River and Yunshui River, surrounded by rippling bluewaves.

This thousand year old capital at the foot of the Qinling Mountains and onthe Bank of the Weihe River has Tongguan in the East and Sanguan in the West. Inthe north, the chidao, which was built in the Qin Dynasty, is a thoroughfare forfighting against Xiongnu and supplying supplies. In the south, Ziwu Road,TangLuo Road, Baoxie road and Chencang road can cross Hanzhong to Bashu. In thesoutheast, Wuguan road in Shangluo Mountain is the throat leading to Chu. Inancient times, Changan had convenient transportation, both land and water,dangerous terrain, easy to defend and difficult to attack. It has always been aplace for military strategists and emperors to make contributions.

Xian is an important birthplace of Chinese history and culture, and alsoone of the earliest developed regions of human civilization. In the thousands ofyears of history of the Chinese nation, perhaps no city can enjoy such a loftystatus and incomparable brilliance as Xian: it is the capital of 13 dynastiessince the Western Zhou Dynasty and the epitome of the first half of Chinesefeudal society.

Since Zhou and Qin Dynasties, Xian has been in the center of politics,economy and culture for a long time with its unique historical position. In the11th century B.C., the Zhou people grew stronger and stronger in Qishan andFufeng areas in the western part of Guanzhong, and finally established theircountry after destroying the Shang Dynasty, and established their capitals inFengjing and Haojing. Qin people successively established capitals in Yongcheng,Liyang and Xianyang, and went out of Hangu in the east to destroy the six statesand establish an unprecedented unified Qin Empire. The capital of Qin Dynasty isstill Xianyang, which is near the water on the tableland. After the destructionof Qin Dynasty by Liu Bang, Emperor Gaozu of Han Dynasty, he took a fancy to theeight hundred Li Qinchuan River, which is a vast expanse of fertile land, andchose to establish the capital on the South Bank of Weihe River, which is justacross from qinxianyang. At the end of the Western Han Dynasty, Wang Mangusurped the Han Dynasty and established a new dynasty, inheriting the capitaland system of the Han family. When the Huangjin army rose, Dong Zhuo burned allthe palaces in Luoyang, and the princes of the 18th route begged for Zhuo.Therefore, Dong Zhuo forced Emperor Xian to move westward to Changan. TheEastern Han Dynasty had six years here.

The scenic Fenghe river is full of a large number of cultural treasuresfrom the Western Zhou Dynasty 3000 years ago. It is a magical and attractiveplace. Emperor min of the Western Jin Dynasty was the emperor in Changan, andhe was destroyed in only three years. The former Zhao, the former Qin, the laterQin, the Western Wei and the Northern Zhou established their capitals here.Changan city experienced a long period of war and shortage of soldiers afterthe Han Dynasty.

In 581 ad, Yang Jian, Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty, unified China again.Later, in the southeast of Changan City in the Han Dynasty, Yu Wenkai, a famousarchitect, designed and supervised the construction of Daxing City, the capitalof the Sui Dynasty. The scale, layout and scientific facilities of Daxing Cityobviously exceeded that of Changan City in Han Dynasty, which laid thefoundation of Changan City in Tang Dynasty. Tang Dynasty is the heyday ofChinese history, and Changan city is also an incomparable brilliant model inthe history of Chinese capital. Changan is not only the political, economic andcultural center of the Tang Empire, but also the largest international city inthe east of the world.

"The ancient imperial state in the middle of Qin Dynasty". History choseXian and Xian enriched history. Today, whenever people talk about the formerChangan in Xian, they are full of national pride and admiration for the richand incomparable ancient civilization of China for thousands of years.

If history chose Xian as the capital of emperors, making it the centralstage of Chinas politics, economy and culture for more than a thousand years,then the emperors who once made great achievements here chose Guanzhongsprofound and extensive loess land as their final destination. As a result, thedense and grand mausoleums of emperors spread all over Guanzhong with thearrogance of the past and the present, becoming one of the most unique culturallandscapes in Xian.

The imperial mausoleum in Shaanxi can be traced back to the mausoleum ofthe Yellow Emperor more than 5000 years ago. It is the mausoleum of XuanyuanYellow Emperor, the forefather of the Chinese nation. It is on the top ofQiaoshan mountain in Huangling County, north of Xian. Ever since ancient timesand every year, countless Chinese and Miao descendants have come here to payhomage to the mausoleum, find their roots, ask their ancestors, and remembertheir saints. Apart from the mausoleum of the Yellow Emperor, from the WesternZhou Dynasty to the Sui and Tang Dynasties, more than 70 emperors were alsoburied in Guanzhong.

Ancient Changan was not only the political and economic center of Chinafor a long time, but also the center of religious culture. In the Tang Dynasty,with political stability and economic development, the religious culture ofChangan reached its peak. At this time, not only the native Taoist culture inChina was widely spread, but also the foreign Buddhist culture was in aprominent position in social life.

Since the introduction of Buddhism into China in the Han Dynasty, it hasbecome the ideology of the gentry through the southern and Northern Dynasties.In the Tang Dynasty, it became a common practice to respect and worshipBuddhism. As the eastern end of the "Silk Road" and a cosmopolitan metropolis,Changan has gathered eminent monks and missionaries from all over the world.Inside and outside the city of Changan in the Tang Dynasty, there are manypagodas and temples, and there are many people who preach and listen to theDharma. According to historical records, there are 122 monasteries and 31nunnery monasteries in Changan city. Emperors and court dignitaries are proudto build monasteries and spend time with monks. The scale of these monasteriesis also amazing. For example, Cien Temple, which is called "Chonglou Fudian,Yunge Dongfang, more than ten monasteries, has a total of 1896, covering 342Mu". In the enlightened and open Tang Dynasty, not only the various sects ofBuddhist temples and Taoism, as the national religion, were very active, butNestorianism and Manichaeism also spread to China one after another, makingindelible contributions to the prosperity of Chinese and foreign cultures.

Today, there are still many religious and cultural relics inside andoutside Changan city. The towering big wild goose pagoda of Cien Temple andthe beautiful small wild goose pagoda of Jianfu temple have become the symbol ofXian, a famous historical and cultural city. Famen Temple has become a Buddhistholy land again because of the excavation of four Buddhist finger relicscollected in the Tang Dynasty. Daxingshan temple, Qinglong temple, Xiangjitemple and other famous temples have also become symbols of friendly exchangesand tourist attractions between China and foreign countries. The famous TaoistLouguantai, Baxian palace and Huajue Lane Muslim temple in the city areimportant places for the spread of Taoist culture.

In history, the ancient city of Xian has provided a broad and bright stagefor China to show its great and brilliant posture to the world, and madeimmortal contributions to the survival, progress and development of the Chinesenation. Perhaps it is just out of the reward for Xian that history generouslypresented this magical land with numerous historical relics and cultural relics.It is an invaluable treasure. It not only makes every Chinese proud and feel theresponsibility of history, but also as one of the cream of human culturalheritage, let people from all over the world comprehend the clear trajectory ofsocial civilization development and the surging creativity of human beings.

The historical relics in Xian and Guanzhong area have the integrity ofrare historical sequence. This outstanding advantage is determined by thelong-span characteristics of Xians long history, which is difficult for manyhistorical cities to match. Here, the Paleolithic artifacts of the Lantian apeman 1.15 million years ago and the painted pottery basin of the mud illusion ofthe matriarchal clan settlement in Banpo 6000 years ago jointly outline thecontext and footprints of the survival, reproduction and development of theprimitive ancestors; the deep, dignified, mysterious and treacherous bronzes ofthe Shang and Zhou dynasties represent the living atmosphere of the aristocratsin the slave society; The magnificent terracotta warriors and horses andexquisite stone portraits of the Qin and Han Dynasties are wrapped with thepolitical situation and flames of war in the early feudal society; the brilliantmurals and colorful gold and silver wares of the Sui and Tang Dynasties recordthe glorious chapter of the golden age; and the steles, porcelain products,calligraphy and paintings of the song, yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties are thewitness of the continued development of civilization in Xian after the loss ofthe prosperity of the imperial capital It is no exaggeration to say that it isno different to read a condensed general history of China to search the culturalrelics of Xian in chronological order.

Xian and its surrounding areas are rich in cultural heritage, which isanother advantage. Not to mention the large-scale sites such as FengHao of theWestern Zhou Dynasty, Xianyang palace of the Qin Dynasty, Changan city of theHan and Tang Dynasties, and the ancient buildings, temples, and grottoes ofMeilun and meimian, the number of movable cultural relics alone has reached morethan 600000 pieces (groups) according to preliminary statistics. Includingceramics, bronzes, jade, gold and silver, murals, stone and brick carvings,inscribed steles, seals and other categories. In this sense, the ancient city ofXian itself is a natural history museum, a palace of cultural art.

The natural landscape of Xian is also unique. In and around Xian, thereare Xiyue Huashan, which is known as "the most dangerous place in the world",Zhongnan mountain, which is cultivated by Wang Chongyang, the founder ofQuanzhen school, Taibai Mountain, which is known as "natural geological museum",Lishan Mountain, which is known as "Nuwa Butian", Louguantai, which is the mostblessed place in Dongtian, and Wangchuan, the hometown of Chinese landscape "Thehometown of ape man" -- Lantian cave and other scenic spots. The gardens inXian are full of royal style.

Huaqing Palace tells the story of "song of everlasting regret" with itsworlds first hot spring and warm romantic love story; Xingqing palace describesthe eternal story of "Li Bais drunkenness"; a song "the setting sun isinfinitely good, just near dusk" makes leyouyuans dusk a charming landscape."Last year and today in this gate, peoples faces and peach blossoms were red.People do not know where to go, peach blossom still smile spring breeze If youhave a chance to go to Weiqu, you will feel the true love under the peach treewith the dream of "human face peach blossom". There are 11 forest parks inXian, which constitute the natural oxygen bar of the ancient city.

The combination of humanity and landscape constitutes the unique charm ofancient Xian.

As the first ancient capital of China, Xian, after more than 3000 years ofdevelopment, shoulders numerous glorious and glorious dreams of the Chinesenation, and is firmly marching towards the future.

In 1949, after the founding of the peoples Republic of China, the ancientcity of Xian opened a new chapter in its own development history. Since the1980s, with the implementation of the reform and opening-up policy, 6.18 millionpeople in Xian have seized the opportunity of the times, guided by science andtechnology, tourism, commerce and trade, and made great efforts to build Xianinto a socialist export-oriented city. A thriving and dynamic Xian city isstanding in the world. Today, Xian is an important base for scientific andtechnological research and development in contemporary China. At present, thereare more than 3000 scientific research institutions in the city, includingmachinery, electric power, electronics, aviation, aerospace, geology, chemicalindustry, textile, instruments, meters, nuclear industry and other scientificresearch institutions, as well as the only watch industry research institute inChina and the satellite measurement and control center, the central nerve ofaerospace measurement and control network, which is also located in Xian.

Today, Xian is an important base of Chinas higher education. There are 42institutions of higher learning, more than 10 mobile stations for postdoctoralresearch, about 100 doctoral degree awarding points and more than 300 mastersdegree awarding points in the city. Every year, the city trains a large numberof modern talents for the country, becoming a veritable "cradle of talents".

Good morning, everyone. First of all, welcome to Fuzhou, Rongcheng. Im __tour guide of __ travel agency. Today we will visit Yongquan temple in Gushan.Now we have come to the parking lot of Gushan. Please follow me to get off andtake care of your valuables. Please also remember that our car number is min d __. Our tour time here is about 2 hours. Please get on the bus at 11:00.

Members, today we are going to visit Gushan, a famous mountain with a longhistory and culture in Fuzhou. It is said that there is a huge stone at the topof the peak, which looks like a drum. Whenever there is wind and rain, it soundslike a drum. So Gushan got its name. In the book "the story of moving a city"more than 1600 years ago, there was a saying that "the Left Banner and the rightdrum are unique in Fujian".

The altitude of Gushan is 1004 meters. The Yongquan temple we visited islocated at an altitude of 650 meters on the hillside. Yongquan temple, with ahistory of 1200 years, is one of the five largest jungles in Fuzhou. Yongquantemple is mainly composed of Tianwang hall, Daxiong hall and Dharma hall. Thereare "three railways" and "three treasures" in the temple. What are these "threerailways" and "three treasures"? During the tour, I will introduce them one byone. Well, members of the group, we came to the Mountain Gate of Gushan alongthis path. Please look at the couplet on the stone column: "why clean the land,dont close the empty door". This is a famous couplet, meaning pun. Please see,the mountain gate is built at the entrance of the hillside, and the mountainwind blows straight in, which can blow the fallen leaves and dust clean withoutmanual cleaning; In summer and autumn, typhoons are frequent, and the mountaingate is often blown down, so there is no more gate, leaving the empty gate. Fromits moral point of view, pure land refers to the pure land of Buddhism, which isspotless, so there is no need to clean it; empty land refers to Buddhism, whichis free of belief, so there is no need to close it. This couplet is also aTibetan head couplet, with the words "Jing" and "Kong" respectively. It iswritten in memory of the late abbot of Yongquan temple, master Jingkong.

OK, members, now lets go to luohanquan. Members, now we see that thisspring pool is "Luohan spring". It is said that during the construction of thetemple, a Abbot monk dreamed that there was a spring here. The next day, themonks dug here, and sure enough, there was a clear spring. So in order to thankLuohan for giving the spring, the monks called this spring Luohan spring, andYongquan Temple got its name.

OK, members, please turn around. Now in front of us, we can see the plaqueof Yongquan temple, which was written by Emperor Kangxi himself. The handwritingis simple and powerful.

Members of the group, please do not enter the temple for the time being,because I want to introduce the towers on both sides of us. Now, please guesswhat materials are used for this pair of small and exquisite towers in front ofus, and what role do the towers play in the temple?

Ah! You said it was made of wood, you said it was made of stone, and yousaid it was made of iron. No one seems to have guessed right. This pair oftowers are made of clay. They have a history of more than 900 years. The one onthe left is called the "solemnly robbing Thousand Buddhas pagoda", whichrepresents the Buddha of the past and the light burning Buddha. The one on theright is called "Xianjie thousand Buddha pagoda", which represents the presentBuddha Sakyamuni Buddha. The color of the two towers is brown. They are fired inlayers with clay, stacked and glazed. The tower is about 7 meters high and hasnine octagonal stories. There are 1038 Buddha statues on the wall of the tower.The earthenware firing tower we see today is very rare.

You can see that there are 72 tower bells, which are also made of clay.Whenever the wind blows, it will make a pleasant sound, which seems to send us ablessing of peace. Lotus petals, lion dances and dwarfs are carved on the baseof the tower, and inscriptions are engraved to record the time when the towerwas built and the names of the craftsmen. The two pagodas were originallylocated in Longrui courtyard in the southern suburb of Fuzhou. They were movedto Yongquan temple in 1972. Now it is listed as a provincial cultural relicprotection unit. These two pavilions are the evidence for the study of SongDynasty architecture. What role does the tower play in the temple?

In fact, the temple and the tower have a deep origin. Tower, Sanskrit zuduslope, originally meant tomb, dome. In ancient India, people called templespagoda temples. The temple is dominated by pagodas, in which people store therelics and scriptures of some eminent monks. The pagoda was regarded as anauspicious relic in the temple, and later evolved into a unique religiousbuilding. After Buddhism was introduced into China, the Chinese nation is goodat melting foreign culture and creating a culture rich in national material. Asa symbol of Buddhism, in the process of the Sinicization of Buddhism, the formof the pagoda has been diversified, including high, short, fat, thin, round,square, iron and wood. The purpose of the pagoda has been expanded from onlystoring relics and symbolizing Buddhism to merit, sustenance and commemoration,and even as a sign of maritime navigation, as well as special buildings relatedto geomantic omen. The pottery pagoda we see today is also a pagoda worthy ofyour appreciation. This pair of Song Dynasty pottery pagodas is one of the"three treasures" of Yongquan temple that we visit today. Here we give you 15minutes to take photos. In 15 minutes, we will visit the "three railways" andthe other two treasures of the "three treasures" of the temple. Thank you

Dear tourists

Hello everyone, welcome to Yueyang Tower, one of the three famous buildingsin Jiangnan.

Yueyang Tower is a national key cultural relic protection unit and one ofthe first batch of national 4A tourist areas. The landscape characteristics ofYueyang Tower can be summarized into four aspects. First, it has a long history.Yueyang Tower, formerly known as Yuejun tower built by Lu Su, was built in the19th year of Jianan in the Eastern Han Dynasty (A.D. 220__) and was namedYueyang Tower in the 2nd year of Qianyuan in the Tang Dynasty (A.D. 759). It hasthe longest history among the three famous buildings in the south of the YangtzeRiver.

Second, the scenery is unique. Yueyang Tower is composed of river, lake,mountain and city. "Baling Sheng shape, a trace in the Dongting, the title ofthe distant mountains, swallow the Yangtze River, vast, boundless horizontal,morning and evening Yin, magnificent." The poet Du QinYong said: "the vast snowwaves with smoke, the sky and the West back painting, the building is verybeautiful scenery, a mountain nine lake." Yueyang Tower is a marvelous praisefor its geographical shape. It is strong with water, beautiful with mountainsand better than Jiangnan in shape. Third, it has a profound culture. YueyangTower poetry anthology contains more than a few famous works, a large number ofcouplets, plaques, paintings and inscriptions, most of which are permeated withthe "sense of hardship" of the Chinese nation. _In Du Fus "climbing the YueyangTower", he said, "I heard the Dongting water in the past, but now Im going tothe Yueyang Tower. In the southeast of Wu and Chu, heaven and earth float dayand night. Family and friends have no word, old and sick have their own boat.The army passes the mountain north, depending on the Xuan tears Si flow Hisconcern for the prison and the people is beyond expression. Fan Zhongyans"Yueyang Tower" is the development of this excellent tradition to the peak. Thephilosophy of "not to be happy with things, not to be sad with yourself", Atthat time, Su Dongpo expressed his emotion that "although it is not easy for asage to rise again", which Liu Shaoqi introduced as the criterion for thecultivation of Communist Party members, Hu Yaobang praised as thecrystallization of traditional Chinese virtues. It is indeed the most preciouscultural relics of Chinese spiritual civilization. Among the three famousbuildings in the south of the Yangtze River, only Yueyang Tower is a nationalcultural relic with historical, artistic and scientific value. The Yueyang Towernow seen is a pure wood structure. It was overhauled in 1983 according to theprinciple of "keeping the old as it is". It has four columns, three floors,cornices and helmet top. The whole building is made of wood without a brick or anail. The door joints are mortise and tenon. The workmanship is very exquisite.In history, Yueyang Tower has been destroyed and repaired for more than 50times. Friends, this couplet in front of the door, "Dongting Tianxia water,Yueyang Tianxia tower", is extracted from the five character quatrains of WeiYunzhen, a poet of the Ming Dynasty. The last two sentences of this poem are"who is the scholar in the world, drinking on the top of the building." Today,you are going to be the corporal of the day. Lets enjoy the profound YueyangTower culture and the magnificent mountains and rivers of Yueyang with Dongtingas the wine. Maybe you will be as drunk as Li Bai.

On the wall of Baling ancient city, the "Xiaoxiang archway in the SouthPole" and the "Wuxia archway in the north" were built in the Qing Dynasty. Thecouplets of chanting scenery in the two places are all written by famousartists. In the north of the ancient times, he Shaoji, a great calligrapher ofthe Qing Dynasty, wrote couplets, and Li duo, a famous calligrapher of thecontemporary era. In the south, Zhang Zhao, who wrote Yueyang Tower in the QingDynasty, and Liu Haisu, a contemporary master of calligraphy and painting, wrotethe couplet. From then on, we can see that Yueyang Tower was loved by literatiof all ages.

Now in front of you is Yueyang Tower. The three characters of "YueyangTower" on the horizontal plaque were inscribed by Mr. Guo Moruo, and now it hasbeen compiled into the book named plaque of Zhongjun. Yueyang Tower is 2135mhigh, 1724m wide and 14.56m deep. Three story three eaves, helmet top type woodstructure, covered with yellow glazed tiles. The helmet top is a prominentfeature of Yueyang Tower. You can see that it looks like the helmet of anancient general. It is powerful and majestic. With cornices, it has smoothcurves and gives people a sense of power. Looking at the Ruyi Dougong under thehelmet top, it looks like a beehive. It is decorated with dragon head, phoenixhead and cloud head. It not only supports the gravity of the helmet top, butalso makes the whole building more exquisite, solemn and harmonious. The top ofthe roof, ridge ornaments, head up and other components are all ceramic productsleft over from the middle of the Qing Dynasty. Therefore, Yueyang Tower has madeamazing achievements in aesthetics, mechanics, architecture and technology.

When you enter the main building, the first thing you see is the carvedscreen of Yueyang Tower, which is composed of 12 pieces of red sandalwood. Asmentioned above, the name of Yueyang Tower was only used in the Tang Dynasty. Atthat time, Li Bai, Du Fu, Liu Yuxi, Li Shangyin and other talented personagesand poets came one after another. They look out from the cantharidin tower, goboating in Dongting, and write hard. In his poem "climbing Yueyang Tower withXia 12", Li Bai described it as follows: "the tower views Yueyang as far aspossible, and the Sichuan Dongting opens. The wild goose leads the sorrowfulheart to go, the mountain holds the good month to come. Even stay in the clouds,the sky line cup. After getting drunk, the cool wind blows and the people danceLi Shangyin, a poet in the late Tang Dynasty, also wrote the poem Yueyang Tower:"if you want to get rid of your worries, you can go to Yueyang Tower on DongtingLake. Its a pity that thousands of Li can take advantage of the prosperity.Its a dragons solution to the shipwreck. " The Yueyang Tower became more andmore famous because of these new words.

However, it was after Teng Zijing rebuilt Yueyang Tower and Fan Zhongyanwrote Yueyang Tower. In the fourth year of Qingli period, Ying Zijing wasdemoted to be the governor of Yuezhou. After he took office, he organized threemajor events: first, building a rainbow dike under the Yueyang Tower to defendthe waves of Dongting Lake; second, setting up a county school to cultivatetalents; third, rebuilding the Yueyang tower. Teng Zijing has both literarytalent and military strategy. He thinks that "it is not long for Louguan to becalled a reporter by writing, and the writing is not written by those who aretalented and powerful.". So he thought of his friend Fan Zhongyan, who was aJinshi in the same middle school. He wrote a Book of Qiuji, which introduced thestructure and momentum of Yueyang Tower after it was revised. He poured out hiseagerness to ask Fan Zhongyan to write a record. He also asked someone to draw apicture of autumn evening in Dongting, which copied the poems and Odes ofYueyang Tower chanted by famous scholars of all ages. He sent people to FanZhongyans demoted residence day and night It is located in Dengzhou. FanZhongyan was a famous statesman, litterateur and militarist in the Northern SongDynasty. Like Wei Zijing, he was rejected and attacked because he advocated theinnovation of politics. After receiving the letter from Teng Zijing, he read itrepeatedly and thought about it carefully, and finally wrote the famous story ofYueyang Tower. Although the full text of this article is only 368 words, it hasbroad content, profound philosophy, majestic momentum, sonorous language andpearly words. It has become a masterpiece for thousands of years. However, thesaying "first worry about the world, and then joy about the world" has become afamous saying handed down from generation to generation, and has become theaccumulation of the noble personality culture of the outstanding knowledge ofthe Chinese nation. The story of Yueyang Tower, with its supreme content andartistic charm, has been handed down for thousands of years and nourishedpeoples hearts. After receiving Fan Zhongyans Yueyang Tower, Teng Zijing wasoverjoyed. He immediately asked Su Zimei, a great calligrapher, to write it andShao Songhui, a famous sculptor, to engrave it on a wooden plaque. As a result,Lou, Ji, calligraphy and sculpture are collectively known as the "four wonders".Unfortunately, the sculpture was destroyed in the fire during the reign ofemperor Shenzong of the Song Dynasty. The screen we see now is written by ZhangZhao, a famous calligrapher and Minister of the Ministry of punishment in theQianlong period of the Qing Dynasty.

The whole building is supported by four big nanmu columns. It runs from thebottom of the building to the top of the building, and then uses 12 gold pillarsas the inner ring to support the second floor. Around it, 20 wooden pillars areused to control the door joints and tenons, and connect them as a whole. Thewhole Yueyang Tower is of pure wood structure, and no iron nail can be found. Onthe first floor, there are couplets chanting Yueyang Tower by ancient and modernmasters. The one in the middle of the hall is the longest of the couplets. Thefirst couplet begins with "whats strange on the first floor", listing theachievements and legends of poets, famous Confucians, virtuous officials andwine immortals left in Yueyang Tower, expressing the authors regret for thepast and the present; the second couplet introduces the famous mountains andrivers, the magnificent and dangerous city of baling. If you write down thiscouplet, you will have a general understanding of Yueyang Tower.

A carved screen of Yueyang Tower is hung on the front of the second floor.There is a story circulating here. During the reign of Daoguang in the QingDynasty, a magistrate surnamed Wu came to Yueyang. He took a fancy to the carvedscreen of Yueyang Tower, and bribed a master of folk art carving with a largesum of money to make another carved screen. Taking advantage of the opportunityof being transferred out of Yueyang, Wuzhi county took advantage of theopportunity to steal the beam and change the column, and fled on a stormy nightwith the carved screen of Jiaxiao and Zhang Zhao. The boat was overturned in thejiumazui section of Dongting Lake by wind and waves, and the carved screen sankto the bottom of the lake. It was salvaged by local fishermen and collected byWu Minshu, a local scholar. After 120 silver from the hands of Wus descendantswill screen back. During the cultural revolution, the red guards wanted to smashthe feudal carved screen. In order to protect it, the workers covered thewriting with plaster and wrote Chairman Maos poems. In this way, the carvedscreen escaped another disaster. This one and the one on the first floor areboth true and false, just like the list of merits and demerits.

The third floor is the top floor of Yueyang Tower. Looking from the window,you can appreciate the majestic momentum of "holding the distant mountains andswallowing the Yangtze River" and enjoy the beautiful scenery of lakes andmountains, which is "the same color of water and sky, boundless wind and moon".Signed "Changgeng libaishu". When we stand on the third floor and look out fromthe window, we can see that the water and sky of Dongting Lake are united, theclear wind and the moon are boundless, and the mountains and lakes are all onthe first floor. Isnt the feeling that "the water and the sky are united, thewind and the moon are boundless"?

In the middle is the strip screen of Deng Yueyang Tower written by Du Fu inMao Zedongs handwriting. You can see that it has rigorous layout, bold andunrestrained brushwork, iron and silver hook, vigorous and straight, which isdeeply rooted in huaisus wild grass style, and has its own style. This is arare art treasure, hanging here, making Yueyang Tower even more icing on thecake.

Out of the Yueyang Tower is the three drunk Pavilion, which is the place toworship Lu Xian. Lu Dongbin used medicine to save people and did good deeds. Hewas deeply respected by the people. In addition, he was named "Fuyou emperor" bythe emperor of Yuan Dynasty. He was one of the five northern ancestors ofTaoism. Yueyang Tower was built with yellow glazed tiles specially used by theemperors in feudal times as the place where LV Xian stopped. Why is Lu Xian soprominent in Yueyang? It turns out that there are anecdotes about Lu Xian in theannals of Yueyangs prefectures and counties, saying that he had drunk with TengZijing, played chess with Wang Taishou, the national chess player, and stoppedQiao Taishous sedan chair when he was drunk. In particular, Zhizhou Li Guan notonly records the origin of LV Xiantings story, but also includes two poems byLV Xian. At that time, they were carved in front of Yueyang Tower with hugestones. One of them is "when you travel to the north, the dusk of Cangwu, thecourage of the green snake in your sleeve, when you are drunk in Yueyang, youcant recognize it, and you can fly over Dongting Lake with langyin." The nameof sanzui Pavilion comes from this poem.

Finally, visit Yueyang Tower culture and Art Center. There are not only thecarved screen of Yueyang Tower written by the famous calligraphers Mi Fu, ZhuYunming, Dong Qichang and Zhang Zhao, but also the image display of theconcentrated landscape of Yueyang Tower in song, yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties.There are also a large number of works of art and crafts with Yueyang Towerculture as the theme, as well as various books and periodicals about YueyangTower. Besides enjoying, you can choose your favorite souvenirs forcommemoration.

Hello, everyone. Have you ever been to Beijing?

Whats the weather like in Beijing?

Beijings cold weather is not to see the sun outside, what to see? Look atthe wind! As long as the wind blows, the weather will be relatively cold. Whatsthe wind blowing in winter? Whats the wind blowing in summer? The primaryschool teacher said that southeast wind blows in summer and northwest wind blowsin winter. Please remember. A student stood up and said: No, my mother said thatshe married my father and drank all year round

You choose to come to Beijing at the end of October. Generally speaking,the time is very good. Its neither cold nor hot. Its an ideal tourist seasonin Beijing. As the saying goes: in good travel time, meeting a good guide is akind of happiness; in good travel time, meeting a poor guide is a kind ofsadness. Its a sigh to meet a good tour guide in a bad travel time; its a kindof helplessness to meet a poor tour guide in a bad travel time. I hope we have agood time to travel, and I hope I am a good guide.

Id like to introduce myself. My family name is Li and my name is Tianyun.After you met me, I wish you good luck every day. Li is Muzi Li. You can call medirector Li, but dont call me director Li. You can also call me Xiao Li, butdont add Zi. Xiao Li is Li Lianying, the eunuch next to Empress Dowager Cixi.Eunuch is an incomplete man. Besides being thin, the function of other parts ofhis body is quite normal. I was born on December 26. Whats the specialsignificance of this day? My mothers birthday is also on this day, and myemperor Taizus birthday is also on December 26. My emperor Taizu is ChairmanMao Zedong. I want to have the same birthday as a great man. I cant be worse inmy life. But after living for more than 20 years, I found that Im not tall, notshort, not fat, not thin, not old, not tender, and so on So far, no miracle hashappened to me, but it doesnt matter. As the saying goes, height is not thedistance, weight is not the pressure, age is not the problem, so I still have toconfidently take everyones activities in Beijing these days.

In addition to taking you on a tour, we also have a master in charge of ourtransportation. Our master has more than ten years of driving experience. Heusually receives deputies to the National Peoples Congress, and receives VIPguests and athletes during the Olympic Games. There has been no accident formore than ten years. He is very professional and safe. During our time inBeijing, we have master _ _ driving for us. We have to work hard for him in thenext few days. Lets give him some applause first!

Although the roads in Beijing are very broad now, Beijing, as the capital,has many people and cars, and the traffic condition is not very good most of thetime. During our travel time, there may be traffic jams or people waiting forthe bus. I hope you can understand.

People live on food. When they come to Beijing, the first thing they shouldpay attention to is eating. When they come out, they wont be as comfortable asthey are at home. Especially when they join a tour group, they should beprepared: the tour group meal in Beijing is very bad. What is despair? Despairis two dishes served in a restaurant, Eat the first one: "is there anythingworse in the world?" eat the second one "Kao! Its really there!" although thegroup meal is bad, its still quite hygienic. You can rest assured to eat it.The principle is to have enough food, eight dishes and one soup, and all therice. When you see that the food is not enough, drink the soup quickly. If wedont have enough to eat, we can see the mountains far away and have a pot ofsteamed bread. If you come back to China for tourism in the future, if thenumber of people is small, you should try not to arrange group meals by travelagencies. Youd better have what you want (for Hong Kong and overseasChinese).

Next is the accommodation. Beijing is the capital, the political andcultural center. People come and go very frequently, so hotels of the same levelin Beijing are not as good as those in other places. Then it gives a briefintroduction of the hotel (such as stars, how far to the airport, how far to therailway station, how far to Tiananmen Square). In the evening, when we go backto the hotel, we should pay attention to rest. When we go shopping, we are notfamiliar with the place, so we should not go too far. The three things you mustdo when you come to Beijing are climbing the Great Wall, eating roast duck andwatching acrobatics. I think we have arranged to climb the great wall and eatroast duck in our itinerary, but we havent arranged to watch acrobatics. Imvery sorry. About in the Neolithic age, Chinese acrobatics had sprouted. Soacrobatics has a history of more than 20__ years in China. Diving, rings andother sports in our Olympic Games are all evolved from acrobatics. Trampoline,which was officially an Olympic event in 20__, is also evolved from acrobatics.Chinas trampoline won two Olympic gold medals in 20__ Beijing Olympic Games.Chinese people can be proud to announce to the world that we cant do football,we cant do track and field, we cant do swimming pool, but we cant do it inbed! Chaoyang theater is the only designated theater for external performance inBeijing. During the Olympic Games, all foreign leaders came to China to watchacrobatic performances. Modern acrobatics combined with sound, color, light andother advanced elements are more gorgeous and exciting than traditionalacrobatics. It really reflects the brilliance of one minute on stage and tenyears off stage. Almost all the performances have won awards in theinternational arena, so we are visiting Beijing During this period, acrobaticsis absolutely not to be missed if you have time in the evening. If you dont go,you will be sorry, but you will be shocked.

The most important thing to come to Beijing is to visit. Apart fromclimbing the Great Wall, eating roast duck and watching acrobatics, what elsecan we play? Generally speaking, we can enter Guangzhou to watch cars, fly toGuilin to watch mountains, go to Xian to watch tombs, visit Beijing to watchwalls, pass Tianjin to watch docks, visit Qinghai to watch the source, visitTibet to watch Buddhas head, visit Nanjing to watch stones, visit Shanghai towatch peoples heads drunk, visit Shanghai to watch peoples heads;Unforgettable Hangzhou girl. What you see in Beijing is the top of the wall,that is, the most important thing is the history and culture left over from theancient capital. If you join this tour group and meet guide Xiao Li, you are ina Beijing history and culture crash course, so you should listen to mecarefully. Cant get on the car to sleep, get off the car to pee, take photos ofscenic spots, go home and ask nothing. Especially when there are many touristsin Beijing, adults look at their heads and children look at their buttocks, sowe should play with me, hold the hand of the guide, and travel together inBeijing!

Beijing is the capital of Liao, Jin, yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties, thelast five feudal dynasties in Chinese history. Its design and planning embodiesthe highest achievement of ancient Chinese urban planning, and is known as "thegreatest individual project of human beings on the surface of the earth". Weshould not only look at the history, but also the modern development of Beijing.Now lets briefly introduce the situation of Beijing.

Beijing covers a total area of 16808 square kilometers and is divided into18 districts. Beijing is surrounded by Hebei Province. From the map, HebeiProvince surrounds the whole of Beijing, and it is not far from Beijing

Chengde Mountain Resort is the largest classical Royal Garden in China. In1984, it was rated as one of the top ten scenic spots in China. In 1994, it waslisted in the world heritage list. It is very worth seeing. If we can arrange itsometimes, we should go there for a day or two.

The terrain of Beijing is high in the northwest and low in the southeast,which is in line with the artistic conception of an ancient poem that a riverflows eastward. Beijing plain accounts for 1 / 3, mountain accounts for 2 / 3.There are more than 16 million permanent residents in Beijing, more than 4million people from other places, and more than 20 million people live in onethird of the plain. Therefore, the traffic pressure just mentioned is veryheavy.

To this end, Beijing has made great efforts to improve the trafficenvironment. The cost of bus is also very cheap. Basically, one yuan is enoughfor taking the bus, and 20% or 40% discount can be given for those with buscard. We work in the suburbs because its expensive to rent or buy a house inthe urban area. Although its cheap to take the bus, it takes a long time. Weneed to get up early in the morning to go to work. Sometimes it only takes 30minutes to do a business in the urban area, but it takes two hours to come bybus, and it takes two hours to go back, so one day is spent on the bus. Becauseof the long journey, we usually have to take the bus home from work, so thenightlife in Beijing is not very rich. Talk about the four idiots in Beijing:eat lobster, go shopping to Yansha, sing and love flowers, and go home afterwork. The poor go home after work, the drunkard go home at 9, the luster go homeat 11 and the gambler go home at 2-3.

The starting price of a taxi is 10 yuan for 3 km, and 2 yuan per km after 3km. In addition to improving the above ground transportation, we should focus onthe development of the subway. The cost of the subway is also very cheap. Itcosts 2 yuan to get through. As long as you dont go out of the subway door, youcan take a ride for a day, so as to stimulate the reduction of private cars,reduce road congestion, improve air quality and environmental protection. Butthe rich should buy a car or buy a car, and the poor should take what kind ofcar, so we should not climb, compare, and be angry with ourselves in our dailylife; eat less salt, be jealous, play less mahjong, and take more walks; sleepon time, get up on time, and do boxing and aerobics.

Good health is really good. According to official statistics, the averagelife span of Beijingers has reached 80 years old. Before the reform and openingup, it was 60 years old. Why? With the improvement of living standards, Chinesesociety is developing, and Beijing is developing. In the past, only the emperorcan eat, but now ordinary people can also eat the palace flavor. In the past,the emperor can wear silk, but now ordinary people can buy it, too The jadebrought by the emperor is good for our health. We can also buy it now. Themedicinal materials of Tongrentang, which has a history of more than 300 years,used to be used exclusively by the royal family, especially the Empress DowagerCixi, who used to take the Wuji Baifeng pill of Tongrentang all the year round.Now we can also buy it. We can also buy the Royal Cloisonne ornaments. In short,the royal family can eat, wear and play Good health, we can do now, in additionto the emperors harem three thousand, so many women we cant do. When we cometo Beijing for tourism, if we need to use these things or give them as gifts tofriends and relatives, they are very helpful. They can support the developmentof Beijings tourism industry and improve our taste in life. When it comes totaste, men are divided into six grades: first-class men have a home outsidetheir home, second-class men have flowers outside their home, third-class menfind a home in their flowers, fourth-class men go home from work, fifth classmen go home from work, and their wives are not at home, sixth class men go homefrom work, and there is a man beside their wives. Women can be divided into fourclasses. First class beauties travel abroad, second class beauties ShenzhenZhuhai, third class beauties Beijing Shanghai, and fourth class beauties wait athome.

So what do we usually call a beautiful woman in Beijing? The older one iscalled sister, the older one is called aunt, and the younger one is called girl.Generally speaking, men are called elder brother, and the elderly are calledelder brother. Children are called children. But pure Beijingers, that is, oldBeijing, call girls girls girls instead of girls. I dont call a beauty abeauty, but a honey. Call him or not, call him ya. I dont care if you call meinside. Call a woman a woman, not a woman. Call a man a man, not a man. Call afriend porcelain instead of a friend. A lover is not called a lover, but an ace.I dont call a little girl a little girl, but a girl.

This is Beijings address, Tianjins address is more special, for example:there are people calling sister, not sister, anyway, no matter how old you are,even if you are only a teenager, there may be 50 or 60 years old people callingyour sister, not sister. There are those who call big brother, but not brothersor brothers. Even an elderly grandmother will call a young man in her 20s bigbrother, but she wont call brothers. Some call uncle, but not uncle. That is tosay, no matter what is your fathers ranking at home, you should call his otherbrothers uncle, and your fathers younger brother is not uncle. In a word, itsbasically shouting. Thats what Tianjin is called. Tianjin is called the backgarden of Beijing. During holidays, Beijingers will drive there for holidays.Tianjin is more than 100 kilometers away from Beijing, and the whole journey isonly two hours to Tianjin. If we have time, we can play one more city by the waywith little fare.

The road we are taking now is the capital airport expressway, which wasbuilt in 92 and opened to traffic in 93. The capital airport expressway is 18 kmlong, with 34.5 m wide subgrade and 6 lanes in both directions. There are 3 mwide emergency parking belts on both sides of the road. It is fully closed andinterchange. The design speed is 120 km / h. The starting point is Sanyuanqiao.It takes 10 minutes from Sanyuanqiao to the Capital International Airport.Expressway pavement structure layer, the introduction of foreign asphaltmodification technology, in the ordinary asphalt mixed with plastic or rubber,change the high temperature and low temperature stability of asphalt, make itnot soften at 60 ℃ high temperature, not brittle at minus 30 ℃ low temperature,but also enhance the anti-wear ability, reduce noise, greatly extend the servicelife. The use of modified asphalt, which is the first in domestic highwayconstruction. The capital airport expressway costs 100 million yuan perkilometer, which is known as the first road to China. No matter how old anofficial or ordinary person you are, you have to enter Beijing from thisexpressway.

Usually when we talk about Beijing, where is it called Beijing? Accordingto the official regulations, the third ring road is called Beijing. Sanyuanqiao,the starting point of our airport expressway, connects the third ring road. Whatis "three yuan"? The imperial examination system is called "three yuan". Thefirst place of the provincial examination, the imperial examination and theimperial examination is Jieyuan, Huiyuan and the number one scholar. One afteranother, he won the first place in the provincial examination, the generalexamination and the palace examination, which is called Lianzhong Sanyuan.Taking the Qing Dynasty as an example, the whole process of imperial examinationin the old days started from the grass-roots level of government, prefecture andcounty, which was called childrens examination. Those who enter for theexamination are called Tong Sheng, and those who pass the examination are calledXiucai. The first one is called desk.

宜昌位于湖北省西南部、长江中游，古称“水至此而夷，山至此而陵”得名夷陵，地扼渝鄂咽喉，上控巴夔，下引荆襄，素有“三峡门户”之称。

宜昌依江而建，是中国中部重要的交通枢纽，宜昌是三峡大坝、葛洲坝等国家战略设施的所在地，被誉为“世界水电之都”。下面我们要去参观的是宜昌境内的世界第一坝——三峡大坝。我们的车现在正行驶在三峡专用公路上了，三峡专用公路是三峡工程配套工程之一，是现在进入三峡坝区的唯一通道，公路上有桥梁34座，其中特大型桥梁4座，双线隧道5座，其中最长的“木鱼槽”隧道单线长3610米，是当时我国最长的公路隧道之一。三峡大坝距下游葛洲坝水利枢纽工程38公里;是当今世界最大的水利发电工程。三峡大坝工程包括主体建筑物及导流工程两部分，全长约2309m，坝高185m，工程总投资为4954.6亿人民币，于1994年12月14日正式动工修建，20xx年5月20日全线修建成功。

三峡大坝工程包括主体建筑物工程及导流工程两部分。大坝为混凝土重力坝，坝顶总长3035米，坝顶高程185米，正常蓄水位175米，总库容393亿立方米，其中防洪库容量221.5亿立方米，能够抵御百年一遇的特大洪水。三峡大坝左右岸安装32台单机容量为70万千瓦水轮发电机组，安装2台5万千瓦电源电站，其2250万千瓦的总装机容量为世界第一，三峡大坝荣获世界纪录协会世界最大的水利枢纽工程世界纪录。三峡工程是迄今世界上综合效益最大的水利枢纽，在发挥巨大的防洪效益和航运效益。三峡大坝建成后，形成长达600公里的水库，采取分期蓄水，成为世界罕见的新景观，

工程竣工后，水库正常蓄水位175米，防洪库容221.5亿立方米，总库容达393亿立方米，可充分发挥其长江中下游防洪体系中的关键性骨干作用，并将显着改善长江宜昌至重庆660公里的航道，万吨级船队可直达重庆港，将发挥防洪、发电、航运、养殖、旅游、南水北调、供水灌溉等十大效益，是世界上任何巨型电站无法比拟的。

下面我要给大家分清方位，顺江流的方向而分辨左岸和右岸。拦河大坝以左岸为起点，延伸到长江南岸的白岩尖，轴线全长约为2309米，属于混凝土重力坝，大坝建成以后，坝顶宽15米，底宽124米，坝顶高程是185米。这样万里长江就在西陵峡中段被拦腰截断了，从三峡大坝直至商议重庆市六百多公里水路就形成一个天然的河道型水库，水库容量为393亿立方米。正常水位蓄水是海拔175米，洪水来领之前，便会开闸泄洪，将海拔降到145米，等待洪峰的来临，这样就有效的避免洪峰给我们长江下游带来的灾害。大家如果登上坛子岭的顶部观景台，便可俯瞰三峡坝区的施工全貌，饱览西陵峡黄牛岩的秀丽风光和秭归新县城的远景。接着我们要乘坐观光车前往下一个景点：185观景平台，因其海拔高达185米，所以取名185观景平台。它与大坝的坝顶是等高的，从左手方向看去，就是已经修建完工的拦河大坝的正面。离我们最近的就是垂直升船机的修建部位。从您的右手方向看去就是已经蓄水到165 米水位的三峡水库。大坝的正常蓄水水位达175米，也就是我们脚下的10米高度的地方。现在我们下车就可以一览无余地近观大坝的背影和高峡出平湖的壮丽景观。

最后我们要前往截流纪念园。截流纪念园于1995年在三峡坝区建成开放。它是以三峡工程的截流为主题，集游览，科普，表演，休闲等功能为一体的国内首家水利工程主题公园。大家所看到的这个景区占地面积93万平方米，投资3000多万。现在大家看到的用金黄色的字体写着“截流再现”四个大字的就是我们的截流再现放映厅，它是采用现代高科技的幻影成像技术，更加直观生动地向大家再现长江三峡的截流。大家有没有觉得三峡大坝是一个十分伟大的工程呢?

看完我们的三峡大坝，大家的心中有没有觉得十分感慨?非常感谢大家今天的配合，现在我们先回酒店休息，晚上再告诉大家明天的具体行程。

officially the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of the PeoplesRepublic of China, is a largely self-governing territory of the PeoplesRepublic of China (PRC), facing the Guangdong Province in the north and theSouth China Sea to the east, west and south. A British dependent territory until199, Hong Kong has a highly developed capitalist economy and enjoys a highdegree of autonomy from the PRC under the "one country, two systems"policy.Beginning as a trading port, Hong Kong became a crown colony (laterdependent territory) of the United Kingdom in 1842, and remained so until itstransfer of sovereignty to the Peoples Republic of China in 199. Under the "onecountry, two systems" policy, Hong Kong enjoys considerable autonomy in allareas with the exception of foreign affairs and defence (which are theresponsibility of the PRC Government). As part of this arrangement, Hong Kongcontinues to maintain its own currency, separate legal, political systems andother aspects that concern its way of life, many of which are distinct fromthose of mainland China.Renowned for its expansive skyline and natural setting,its identity as a cosmopolitan centre where east meets west is reflected in itscuisine, cinema, music and traditions.[15] Although the population ispredominantly Chinese, residents and expatriates of other ethnicities form asmall but significant segment of society. With a population of million people,but only 1,108 km2 (428 sq mi) of land, Hong Kong is one of the most denselypopulated areas in the world.

Distinguished guests, you have come to the ancient city of Qingzhou. Firstof all, on behalf of the leaders and staff of our travel agency, please allow meto extend a warm welcome to you. Here, I would like to introduce the generalsituation of Qingzhou.

Lets explain the place name "Qingzhou" first. As we all know, during theperiod of Dayus flood control, the whole country was divided into nine regionsfor people to live in. The nine regions were called "Kyushu", which became thepronoun of China. In the past, CCTV had a program called "the circle of Kyushu".Qingzhou was one of the Kyushu.

Why is it called Qingzhou? Qingzhou is the Oriental state. According to theancient concept of five elements, it is located in the East, the East is wood,wood color is green, so it is named Qingzhou. Sima Qian said in historicalrecords that "the East is moving, and the Yang animal is spring at that time."Wang Yin of Jin Dynasty said: "the color of Oriental Shaoyang is green, and itsQi is clear. It is the first time of the year and the beginning of the event, soit is also named green." Therefore, in the ancient concept, the East is theplace where the sun rises, the air is clear, the color is green, everything islush, full of vitality, is the spring of the year, the beginning of things. Itcan be seen that Qingzhou is a beautiful home with unlimited developmentvitality and hope.

Because of this, there are so many poems praising Qingzhou. Su Zhe, one ofthe eight great masters of the Tang and Song Dynasties, once wrote a poem:"facing the mountains, the ancient princes of the sea are defeated, and theybelieve in the first state in the East." Qingzhou is situated on Mount Tai inthe West and overlooking the sea in the East. It has been prosperous sinceancient times. Therefore, with her beauty, Qingzhou enjoys the title of "thefirst state in the East".

Ladies and gentlemen, let me introduce the current situation of Qingzhou.Todays Qingzhou City is located in the middle of Shandong Province, adjacent toZibo City in the west, Dongying City in the north, Shouguang City and ChangleCounty in the East, and Linqu County in the south. Covering an area of 1569square kilometers, the city governs three streets and nine towns, with apopulation of 900000, including more than 20000 Hui, Manchu and other ethnicminorities. Its economic scale is relatively large. In 20__, the citys GDPreached 22 billion yuan, the total fiscal and tax revenue exceeded 2.6 billionyuan, the local fiscal revenue was 1 billion yuan, the per capita disposableincome of urban residents was more than 10000 yuan, the per capita net income offarmers was 6000 yuan, and the savings of urban and rural residents was 13billion yuan,.

Qingzhou City is located at the junction of the mountainous area in themiddle of Shandong Province and the plain in the north of Shandong Province. Itpresents a variety of geomorphic features and shows a spectacular and beautifulfigure. The southwest is a mountainous area with overlapping peaks, accountingfor nearly half of the citys area. There are more than 30 main peaks, most ofwhich are above 400 meters above sea level. Among them, Yunmen mountain, Tuoshanmountain, Linglong mountain, Yangtian mountain and tangsaier village are famousscenic spots. This mountainous area is mostly limestone, karst karst landformcharacteristics. It can be imagined that this was once a vast sea. Because ofthe violent geological movement, the rock strata deep under the sea were brokenand uplifted, and then the hills were formed. In ancient times, the climate herewas warm and humid, the vegetation was rich and green everywhere. It was anideal habitat for the ancestors of Qingzhou during the cave period.

The northeast is a plain area with fertile land, deep soil layer, good soilquality, long history of cultivation, high degree of maturity, good physicalproperties, suitable for planting a variety of crops, which is the earliestagricultural development area in history. The ancients said, "Qingqi fertilesoil, the name of Dongqin, earth 20__, more than 100000 households, four solidfortresses, negative sea Rao, can be described as a country of military use."The northern plain of Qingzhou is located in the center of "the fertile soil ofQingqi". From the pre Qin period to the Wei Jin period, it is the richest areain China.

There are many rivers flowing through and originating from Qingzhou City,including Mi River, Zi River, Nanyang River, Beiyang River, etc. Zihe River andMihe River are the main stream. If Qingzhou City is regarded as a sedan chair,then the two main streams are like sedan poles, which are divided into left andright. The two rivers are the mother river of Qingzhou, which nurtures thesplendid history and culture of Qingzhou.

Qingzhou City is located at the junction of mountains and plains. Themountains in the western and southern suburbs are green and the city ispicturesque. The eastern and northern suburbs are green and beautiful. The urbanplanning area is 100 square kilometers, the built-up area is 30 squarekilometers, and the population is 300000. It is a national health city, gardencity, historical and cultural city, as well as a national well-known excellenttourist city. Today, Qingzhou City has become an emerging city with prosperouseconomy, advanced culture, beautiful environment, complete functions and thebest living environment.

Qingzhou City is an old and young city. It is ancient because it has ahistory of more than 2200 years. There have been five cities here, namelyGuangcheng County, Guanggu City, Dongyang City, Nanyang city and Qibing city. Ithas been the political center, military town and transportation hub of easternShandong for more than a thousand years. Nanyang city is well preserved now.This ancient city is located in the center of Qingzhou. From a high place, theoutline drawn by the winding wall looks like a strong ox lying there, so peoplecall it "Wo Niu city". For a long time, I dont know who has made a rule: beancurd sellers are not allowed to knock Bangzi in the city for fear of disturbingthe "cattle". Until today, when local people sell bean curd into the city, theywill automatically put away Bangzi and sell along the street instead.

Qingzhou is a city of history and culture. Fangongting road and Shiliancient street are still green stone pavement with antique flavor. Manybuildings with cornices and painted walls, resplendent and resplendent,pavilions and pavilions, pink walls and flower walls, are enchanting in theshade of green trees. There are many gardens in the urban area, such as FangongGanquan, Ouyuan rockery, Songlin academy, Wannian ancient bridge, hengwang stonesquare, Zhenjiao ancient temple, Catholic Church and so on. You can enjoy therich and colorful historical and cultural customs everywhere.

It is said that it is young because the name Qingzhou has disappeared sincethe Republic of China. Only Yidu county exists here. Until 1986, with theapproval of the State Council, Yidu county was abolished and Qingzhou City wasestablished. Up to now, it has only 20 years of history. However, over the past20 years, under the spring breeze of reform and opening up, the city hasdeveloped rapidly, made rapid progress, and is full of vigor and vitalityeverywhere.

Qingzhou is a city of spring and green. The city is full of spring, green,green shade and flowers. Nanyang river is like a green ribbon, passing throughthe city, with willows flying by the riverside, green land like a river, greenbamboo surrounding, and flowing water. Wutong, Sophora japonica, cedar, greenhawthorn trees, and persimmon trees with bonsai on each side of the city streetsform a green corridor. Whenever a flower expo is held, Qingzhou is full offlowers and trees. Qingzhou is also a city of Commerce and trade, a modern city.There are many modern buildings in the new urban area, all kinds of markets arescattered, there are lots of cars, factories are dense, traffic is developed,business and customers are gathered, the flow of people is prosperous, and thelogistics is smooth.

Now, let me briefly introduce the history of Qingzhou. Qingzhou has a longhistory. From the establishment of the Department of the governor of Qingzhou inthe Western Han Dynasty to the capital of Shandong Province in the early MingDynasty, after 1500 years, Qingzhou City has been the residence of thefirst-class national administrative region and the first-class military regionof Qingzhou, Beihai County, Pinglu Ziqing Town, Jingdong Road, Yidu Province andShandong Province, which is equivalent to todays provincial capital.

In the Western Han Dynasty, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty set up theDepartment of the governor of Qingzhou. It has jurisdiction over 10 prefecturesand 93 counties, which is equivalent to North Shandong and East Shandong. Duringthe Han Dynasty, Qingzhou was the richest area in China, with developedagriculture and prosperous commerce. It was the granary of the country and thesource of the silk road. Its status is equivalent to that of the Yangtze RiverDelta. Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, visited Qingzhou several timesand devoted himself to farming in juyangdian, north of Qingzhou.

During the period of Wei, Jin, southern and Northern Dynasties, China fellinto a bloody scuffle. In 311 ad, general Cao Yi occupied Qingzhou and builtGuanggu city. Guanggu city is easy to defend but difficult to attack, and it hasbecome a must for military strategists. In the next 200 years, there were morethan 20 Fierce wars and 15 changes of ownership. Along with the national war, italso brought unprecedented national integration. In 399 A.D., murongde, a nobleof Xianbei, was founded in guanggucheng, Qingzhou, and called emperor, which wascalled "Nanyan" in history. The decline of Nanyan Kingdom lasted only 12 years,but Qingzhou became the only place in the history of Qilu.

In the Sui and Tang Dynasties, Qingzhou, also known as Beihai County, wasset up as the capital of Qingzhou, and its position as an important militarytown was more prominent. In 755 A.D., Emperor Xuanzong of the romantic TangDynasty lost his country for pleasure, which led to the "rebellion of an andShi", and Qingzhou became the front line of anti rebellion. Li Zhengji, aKorean, brought Pinglu soldiers from Liaodong to Qingzhou to resist the rebels.Since then, Li Zhengji and his son have been in separate rule of Qingzhou for 50years. He occupies the territory of 15 states, across todays Shandong, Henan,Jiangsu, "supporting 100000 troops, dominating the East, neighboring vassalfear.". It took nine oxen and two tigers for the imperial court to pacify him.After that, Xue Song, the grandson of the famous general Xue Rengui, wasappointed to guard Qingzhou.

Zhao Kuangyin, the great ancestor of the Song Dynasty, beat 300 militaryprefectures with a baton and built the Song Dynasty with a yellow robe. To theeast of Bianliang, the capital city, there is Jingdong road and pacifier. Thegovernor is located in Qingzhou, which has jurisdiction over 20 prefecturalarmies and 81 counties, covering all of todays Shandong and parts of Henan,Anhui and Jiangsu. Most of the prefects of Qingzhou also held important posts aspacifiers on Jingdong road. Most of the officials appointed by the imperialcourt were well-known figures. For example, Cao Bin, the famous founder of thecountry, Fu Bi, an important official of the imperial court, Kou Zhun, anupright and famous prime minister, Fan Zhongyan, Ouyang Xiu, Wang Zeng ofLianzhong Sanyuan, Zhang Shuye of Zhaoan Songjiang and so on all lived inQingzhou. Li Qingzhao, a famous litterateur, has lived in Qingzhou for 20years.

In the early Ming Dynasty, the ancient city of Qingzhou was still thecapital of Shandong Province. In 1376, the imperial court transferred theShandong Provincial envoy from Qingzhou to Jinan. Since then, the status ofQingzhou as the political center of Shandong Province has come to an end.Qingzhou Prefecture was set up in Ming Dynasty, which governed 3 states and 16counties, covering a vast area from Dongying Bohai Sea to Rizhao Yellow Sea.Although Qingzhou Prefecture is a secondary administrative district, it islocated in the hub of eastern Shandong, known as the thoroughfare of the twocapitals and Haidai metropolis. It is still an important place for historicalfigures to meet.

Five thousand years of Qingzhou is like a mottled and splendid historicalpicture, which condenses the profound cultural heritage of Chinesecivilization.

Next, let me introduce the cultural heritage of Qingzhou.

Ancient Qingzhou is the main birthplace of Dongyi culture. In the 1970s,seven pieces of pottery were excavated in Taoyuan Village, Dongxia Town,Qingzhou City. According to textual research, this is a relic of the Beixinculture in the early Neolithic period. The Dongyi ancestors had settled in thefertile gypsum soil of Qingzhou 7000 years ago. Dongyi tribe worships the sunand takes Phoenix as totem. A large number of painted pottery relics unearthedin Qingzhou convey the earliest information of Dongyi culture. Moreover,Qingzhou still retains the traces of Dongyi ancestors activities. There areYaowang mountain where Yao patrols and hunts, Qishan mountain where Xu you andBoyi live in seclusion, and Fushan mountain named after Fubo mausoleum. Su BuTun Shang tomb is the largest Shang tomb in China except Anyang. A large numberof cultural relics have been unearthed in the tomb. The most striking ones aretwo large-scale copper Yue, which are engraved with the inscription of "Ya Chou"with the pattern of "Taotie" carved through the body.

Since ancient times, Qingzhou has developed education, gathered elites andproduced talents in large numbers. It has become the hometown of the topscholars, the place that scholars yearn for, and the hometown of celebrities.From the imperial examination in Sui Dynasty to the end of Qing Dynasty, theJinshi in Qingzhou City ranked first in Shandong Province. There were 155candidates with names, including 6 number one scholars. The volume of ZhaoBingzhongs number one scholar in Qingzhou museum is the only copy in thecountry before Ming Dynasty, which can be called a national treasure. The bookis 21% off, 3.46 meters long and 2460 words in full. With "solid administration"and "solid", it brilliantly expounds the strategies of improving theadministration of officials and rejuvenating the country, representing theprofound foundation of Confucian culture in Qingzhou.

Qingzhou is one of the earliest places for the spread of Buddhist culturein China. From the Wei and Jin Dynasties, Buddhist temples developed in a largenumber in Qingzhou, reaching more than 200 places. Longxing Temple, a thousandyear old ancient temple, is known as "the first temple in the East". More than400 statues of Buddhas unearthed from the site have been rated as one of the 100major archaeological discoveries in the 20th century. Tuoshan, the largestBuddhist statue group in eastern China, is a national key cultural relicprotection unit. There are 5 grottoes and 638 statues. The big one is more than7 meters high, and the small one is only a square inch. The shape is exquisiteand peculiar, and the carving is smooth and delicate. The exquisite statues ofYunmen mountain were appraised as "the best among kaihuang" in Tang Dynasty byLiang Sicheng, the son of Liang Qichao and a famous architect. The MountainGiant Buddha, composed of nine 2600 meters in a row, is regarded as the thirdmiracle in the history of Chinese Buddhism. The Giant Buddha has a long nose anddeep eye socket. With the observation from different angles, his lips open andclose, as if he was chanting Buddhist scriptures.

After the Yuan Dynasty, Buddhism was silent and Taoism rose in Qingzhou.The king Heng of Qingzhou was a strong advocate of Taoism. In Yunmen mountainand Tuoshan mountain, he restored Bixia palace and Haotian palace, engravedJushou, opened chentuan cave and made relief sculptures of madanyang. Taoistculture was respected for a time. Ju Shou, which is engraved on the cliff, is7.5 meters high and 3.7 meters wide. The inch character below Shou is 2.3 metershigh, so there is a local saying that "no one has inch high". Xiuzhen palace inthe holy water valley in the southeast of Qingzhou City has a beautiful legendof Zhao Kuangyin, the founding emperor of the Song Dynasty. The Taoist templefaces south to the water. In front of the gate is a thousand year old pagodatree. In the Jade Emperor hall is a memorial tablet of "long live the emperor,long live the emperor".

After the Yuan Dynasty, Qingzhou became a Hui settlement, and Islamicculture took root in the ancient city. Zhenjiao temple, located in Dongguan, aHui community, was built in 1302 ad. it is the only three Zhenjiao temples inthe Yuan Dynasty in China. The scale of the project has been continuouslyexpanded after repair. It combines the essence of architecture in China andabroad. It has both the characteristics of Chinese palace architecture and thearchitectural style of Arabia style.

In the middle of the 19th century, the west wind spread to the East.Qingzhou, located in the important part of Shandong Province, became the centerof cultural collision and infiltration between the East and the West. QingzhouCatholic Church and Christian Church are the witness of this blend.

The long history of Qingzhou has left a magnificent cultural heritage, justlike the pearls of time. The past glory and the present fragrance are enough tomake people appreciate the outstanding beauty of ancient Qingzhou.

Hello, everyone. Let me introduce our Tianzhu Mountain.

1. Now the avenue under your feet is called Tianzhu Avenue, which is themain road at the foot of Tianzhu Mountain. However, the gate tower acrossTianzhu Avenue is the landmark gate of Tianzhu Mountain. On the gate tower,there are six words "ancient South Mountain Tianzhu Mountain". Have you heard ofMr. Zhao Puchu? The tourists answer is very good. Mr. Zhao Puchu was thepresident of Chinas Buddhist Association before he died It is also the lastpiece of calligraphy of Mr. Zhao Puchu.

2. OK, tourists, now we come to the SANZU Temple scenic area. Now we areready to get off the bus. Please take your belongings and dont leave valuableson the bus. After a while, Master Li will close the doors and windows for us.Please remember the license plate number, color and parking place of ourbus.

3. Now we have arrived at the square in front of the SANZU temple. TheSANZU temple, also known as Qianyuan temple, was built when Emperor Liangwu ofthe Southern Dynasty. Later, can, a monk of the Sui Dynasty, lived in seclusionhere after Huike of the second ancestor, built a temple and carried forwardBuddhism. Therefore, later generations call it SANZU. The name of SANZU templecomes from this. SANZU temple has a history of more than 1400 years. Theexisting ancient buildings include jueji tower, sutra collection tower, LihuaPavilion, Sangao Pavilion, etc. it was rated as a national key temple in 1983.Please follow me to visit this ancient and long-standing temple. Please abide bythe temple regulations on the warning signs, respect others and be happy.

4. After visiting the SANZU temple, now we come to the cliff stone carvingsin the ancient cave of Shiniu. With its large number, high density, high gradeand long time, it ranks first among all the scenic spots and is listed as a keycultural relic protection unit by the State Council. There are more than 300stone carvings from Tang, song, yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties as well as theRepublic of China on this stone wall. The most precious ones are the authenticworks of Wang Anshi, one of the eight famous calligraphers in Tang and SongDynasties, and Huang Tingjian, one of the four famous calligraphers in SongDynasty, which I refer to on my right hand. Wang Anshi was granted the title ofking of Jing, who is respected by others, However, in our Tianzhu Mountain, wehave the honor to retain one, so that we can have a glimpse of its calligraphystyle. You can take photos if you are interested. Twenty minutes later, we willgather at the gate and go to Tianzhu east gate.

5. After getting off the cableway, we came to the elephant trunk stonescenic spot. The elephant trunk stone scenic spot is located in the main peakarea of Tianzhu Mountain. Lets see if the protruding stone pillar looks like anelephants nose, and the plane is the elephants big ears, and the concave partis the elephants eyes. Seeing this, we cant help sighing at the uncannyworkmanship of nature.

6. Elephant trunk stone is a natural landscape. Now we come to Zongguanvillage, a cultural landscape. Zongguan village was built by Liu Yuan, arighteous man of Qianshan Mountain, in order to fight against the Yuan Dynasty.There are five gates in Tianzhu Mountain, East, West, North and south. Now weare visiting Liu Yuans headquarters. We can imagine its majestic and dangerous.Is there a tense atmosphere when we are close to Zongguan village, The strangestone statues on the cliff are not like soldiers who are ready to go. Are thereany sentries behind the piles of boulders to watch the enemy? Lets take a lookat these pine trees again. Each one is rooted in the crevice of the stone. Itsshape is very strange and its vitality is very strong. Please look at it from adistance and dont play with it. The only way to enter the village is the stonestep with a slope of 60 to 80 degrees, commonly known as "ladder pass". When yougo up, dont be afraid. Hold the railing and dont look down. The scenery abovewill make us marvel, and the scenery behind will catch up.

7. Now we have arrived at the ancient fort, which witnessed the war at thattime. From the ancient fort, we can have a panoramic view. In front of us areLiu Yuans thatched shed, piics, and general village. Lets take a look at theBaizhang cliff and Qianbu ladder we just passed. Dont you believe that we cameup from here? I finally understand that Liu Yuan will choose to be the chiefstronghold here. Its really that one man will be the main stronghold and tenthousand people will not be allowed to open.

8. You look in the direction of my hand, here is Feilai peak. Feilai peakis 1424 meters above sea level, which is the third peak of Tianzhu Mountain. Thewhole peak is made up of a huge stone. When you look at the huge stone abovethis peak, we cant help but wonder where this stone came from and who put itup. Every visitor here will have the same question, even more than one burdenWorry: in case of strong wind that day, what can we do? It is said that TianzhuMountain was a vast west sea 2.6 billion years ago. There were many snake demonsand turtle spirits in the West Sea. They committed all kinds of evils. Later,Taishang Laojun borrowed a Zhenyao stone from Dragon King of Donghai to press onFeilai peak. Zhenyao stone is what we see now.

9. Lets see if the Tianzhu pine here is a bit similar to the Yingke pinein Huangshan. Dont look at it. Its only 5 meters high and 80 centimetersthick. According to the survey, it has a history of more than 1500 years. Hegrew up completely on the cliff, standing against the wind and standing tallwith the stone. The branches spread out, perhaps waving to us to welcome us.

10. Now we have reached Tianzhu peak, which is 1488 meters above sea level.It is like the pillar of the whole sky. Zhu Xi, the Deputy scholar of the SongDynasty, also lamented the magnificence of Tianzhu Mountain and wrote the poemof Tianzhu peak. Now I will recite this poem for you. Please give meencouragement. Tianzhu peak, Zhu Xi, stands erect as a pillar in the sky and ismajestic in hanweidong. If we only talk about heaven and earth, who knows how tomake great achievements. I dont know how to recite well. From Zhu Xis poems,we can also appreciate the magnificence of Tianzhu peak. OK, tourists, we arefree for 20 minutes, and we will gather here after 20 minutes. Then we will godown the mountain and go back to the hotel to have a rest.

11. This is the end of our trip to Tianzhu Mountain today. Thank you foryour support and cooperation in my work. Finally, I wish you a lot of money anda happy family.

The Western Tomb of Qing Dynasty is one of the two mausoleums of theemperors of Qing Dynasty. It is located at the foot of Yongning mountain, 15kilometers west of Yi County, Hebei Province, and more than 120 kilometers awayfrom Beijing. The perimeter is about 100 kilometers, covering an area of morethan 800 square kilometers. It is surrounded by the emerald Yongning mountain inthe north and the meandering Yishui River in the south, with towering ancienttrees and magnificent scenery.

Since the establishment of the mausoleum, the Qing Dynasty has planted tensof thousands of pine trees at the foot of Yongning mountain, on the Bank ofYishui River, inside and outside the mausoleum. Now there are 15000 ancientpines, more than 200000 young pines and cypresses. The mausoleum area is lushwith pines and cypresses and beautiful mountains and waters. The 14 mausoleumsare hidden in the pine forest, just like a gorgeous landscape painting.

Empress Xiaoshengs Taidong mausoleum is located in the West Mausoleum ofQing Dynasty in Yi County, Hebei Province, and in dongzhengyu, about 1 kmnortheast of Emperor Yongzhengs Tailing mausoleum. Taidong mausoleum is thelargest of the three empresses Mausoleums in the West Mausoleum of Qing Dynasty.In September of the first year of Emperor Qianlongs reign (1736), Prince HengHongmin, the Minister of internal affairs and the Minister of household affairsHaiwang, asked Emperor Qianlong whether to reserve the throne for the EmpressDowager after Emperor Yongzheng was buried in the underground palace of thetailing mausoleum. The Empress Dowager issued a decree: "after emperorshizongxians worship of the underground palace, he was always quiet. If theaction is to be resumed in the future, the premier will feel uneasy with therighteousness of superiority and inferiority. Besides, the constitution ofZhaoxi mausoleum and Xiaodong Mausoleum of our Dynasty can be complied with, andthere is no need to reserve a division in the underground palace of tailingmausoleum. " In accordance with the Empress Dowagers decree, Emperor Qianlongbuilt the Taidong mausoleum for the Empress Dowager in the second year ofQianlong (1737) and completed it in the eighth year of Qianlong (1743). The mainbuildings from south to north are: a three hole arch bridge, east-west xiamapai,five East-West houses, three East-West check-in houses, and five longen gate.There are five East-West stoves, five East-West halls and five double eaveshalls. There are three mausoleum gates, shiwugong, Fangcheng, minglou, Baochengand Baoding. Below the top is the underground palace. On the left side of themausoleum is the kitchen. There is a well Pavilion outside the reservoir.

THE FORBIDDEN CITY(紫禁城)

(Infront of the meridian gate)

This is the palace museum; also know as the Purple Forbidden City. It isthe largest and most well reserved imperial residence inChinatoday. Under MingEmperor Yongle, construction began in 1406. It took 14 years to build theForbidden City. The first ruler who actually lived here was Ming Emperor Zhudi.For five centuries thereafter,it continued to be the residence of 23 successiveemperors until 1911 when Qing Emperor Puyi was forced to abdicate the throne .In1987, the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organizationrecognized the Forbidden City was a world cultural legacy.

It is believed that the Palace Museum, orZi Jin Cheng (Purple ForbiddenCity), got its name from astronomy folklore, The ancient astronomers divided theconstellations into groups and centered them around the Ziwei Yuan(North Star).The constellation containing the North Starwas called the Constellation ofHeavenly God and star itself was called the purple palace. Because the emperorwas supposedly the son of the heavenly gods,his central and dominant positionwould be further highlighted the use of theword purple in the name of hisresidence. In folklore, the term ”an eastern purple cloud is drifting” became ametaphor for auspicious events after apurple cloud was seen drifting eastwardimmediately before the arrival of anancient philosopher, LaoZi, to the HanghuPass. Here, purple isassociated with auspicious developments. The word jin(forbidden) isself-explanatory as the imperial palace was heavily guarded andoff-explanatoryas the imperial palace was heavily guarded and off-limits toordinary people.

The red and yellow used on the palace wallsand roofs are also symbolic. Redrepresents happiness, good fortune and wealth.Yellow is the color of the earthon the Loess Plateau, the original home of the Chinese people. Yellow became animperial color during the Tang dynasty, whenonly members of the royal familywere allowed to wear it and use it in their architecture.

The Forbidden Cityis rectangular in shape. It is 960 meters long from northto south and 750meter wide from east west. It has 9,900 rooms under a total roofarea 150,000square meters .A 52-meter-wide-moat encircles a 9.9-meter―high wallwhich enclosesthe complex. Octagon ―shaped turrets rest on the four corners ofthe wall.There are four entrances into the city: the MeridianGate to the south,the Shenwu Gate(Gate of Military Prowess) to the north, andthe Xihua Gate(Gateof military Prowess) to the north, and the Xihua Gate(Western Flowery Gate )tothe west ,the Donghua (Eastern Flowery Gate) tothe east.

Manpower and materials throughout thecountry were used to build theForbidden City.A total of 230,000 artisans and one million laborers wereemployed. Marble wasquarried from fangshan Country Mount Pan in Jixian County inHebei Province.Granite was quarried in Quyang County in Hebei Province. Pavingblockswere fired in kilns in Suzhou in southernChina. Bricksand scarletpigmentation used on the palatial walls came from linqing in Shandong Province.Timber was cut ,processed and hauled from the northwestern and southernregions.

The structure in front of us is the Meridian Gate. It is the main entranceto the forbidden City. It is also knowsas Wufenglou(Five-Phoenix Tower). Mingemperorsheld lavish banquets here on the 15th day of the first month of theChinese lunar year in hornor of their counties .They also used this place forpunishingofficals by flogging them with sticks.

Qing emperors used this building toannounce the beginning of the new year.Qing Emperor Qianglong changed the original name of this announcement ceremonyfrom ban li(announcement ofcalendar)to ban shou(announcement of new moon )toavoid coincidentalassociation with another Emperor` s name, Hongli, which wasconsidered a tabooat that time. Qing Dynasty emperors also used this place tohold audience andfor other important ceremonies. For example,when the imperialarmy returnedvictoriously from the battlefield ,it was here that the Emperorpresided overthe ceremony to accept prisoners of war.

(After entering the Meridian Gate andstanding in front of the Five MarbleBridges on Golden Water River)

now we are inside the Forbidden City.Beforewe start our tour, I would liketo briefly introduce you to the architectural patterns befour us .To completethis solemn, magnificent and palatial complex,a variety of buildings werearranged on a north-south axis, and8-kilometer-long invisible line that hasbecome an inseparable part of the Cityof Beijing. The Forbidden City coversroughly one ?third of this central axis. Most of the important building in theForbidden City weree arranged along this line. The designand arrangement of thepalaces reflect the solemn dignity of the royal courtand rigidly ?stratifiedfeudal system.

The Forbidden Cityis divided into an outer and an inner count.We are nowstanding on the southern most part of the outer count. In front of us lies theGate of supreme Harmony .The gate is guarded by a pair of bronze lions,symbolizing imperial power and dignity. The lions were the most exquisite andbiggest of its kind.The one on the east playing with a ball is a male, and ballis said to represent state unity. The other one is a female. Underneath one ofits foreclaws is a cub that is considered to be a symbol of perpetual imperialsuccession. The winding brook before us is the Golden Water River. It functionsbothas decoration and fire control .The five bridges spanning the riverrepresentthe five virtues preached by Confucius :benevolence, righteousness,rites,intellence and fidelity. The river takes the shape of a bow and thenorth-southaxis is its arrow. This was meant to show that the Emperors ruled thecountryon behalf of God.

(In front of the Gate of Supreme Harmony)

The Forbidden Cityconsists of an outer countyard and an inner enclosure.The out count yardcovers a vast space lying between the Meridian Gate and theGate of HeavenlyPurity. The “three big halls” of Supreme Harmony, CompleteHarmony and Preserving Harmony constitute the center of this building group.Flanking themin bilateral symmetry are two groups of palaces: Wenhua (ProminentScholars)and Wuying (Brave Warriors) . The three great halls are built on aspacious“H”-shaped, 8-meter-high, triple marble terrace, Each level of thetripleterrace is taller than the on below and all are encircled by marblebalustradescarved with dragon and phoenix designs. There are three carved stonestaircases linking the three architectures .The hall of supreme Harmony is alsothetallest and most exquisite ancient wooden-structured mansion in all ofChina.From thepalace of Heavenly Purith northward is what isknown as the inner court,which is also built in bilaterally symmetrical patterns. In the center are thePalaceof Heavenly Purity, the Hall of Unionand Peace and Palace of EarthlyTranquility, aplace where the Emperors lived with their families and attended tostateaffairs. Flanking these structures are palaces and halls in whichconcubinesand princes lived. There are also three botanical gardens within theinnercount, namely, the imperial Garden, Caning garden and Quailing garden. Aninner Golden Water Riverflows eastwardly within the inner court. The brook windsthrough three minorhalls or palaces and leads out of the Forbidden City.It isspanned by the White Jade Bridge.The river is lined with winding, marble ?carvedbalustrades.

Most of thestructures within the Forbidden City haveyellow glazed tileroofs.

Aside from giving prominence to thenorth-south axis, other architecturalmethods were applied to make every groupof palatial structures unique in termsof terraces, roofs, mythical monstersperching on the roofs and colored, drawingpatterns. With these, the grandcontour and different hierarchic spectrum of thecomplex were strengthened.Folklore has it that there are altogether 9,999room-units in the Forbidden City. Since Paradiseonly has 10,000 rooms, the Sonof Heaven on earth cut the number by half aroom. It is also rumoured that thishalf ?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 KuQuan Shu”- China `s first comprehensive anthology-was stored.

(After walking past the Gate of SupremeHarmony)

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

The construction of the Hall of Supreme Harmony began in 1406. It burneddown three times and was severely damaged onceduring a mutiny. The existingarchitecture was built during the Qing Dynasty.On the corners of the eaves aline of animal-nails were usually fastened to thetiles. These animal-nails werelater replace with mythical animals to ward offevil spirits. There arealtogether 9 such fasteners on top of this hall. The number nine was regarded bythe ancients to be the largest numeral accessibleto man and to which only theemperors were entitled.

There was a total of 24 successive emperorsduring the Ming and Qingdynasties who were enthroned here. The ball was alsoused for ceremonies whichmarked other great occasions: the Winter Solstice,The Chinese Lunar New Year,the Emperor` s birthday, conferral of the title ofempress, the announcement ofnew laws and policies, and dispatches of generalsto war .On such occasions, theEmperor would hold audience for his courtofficials and receive theirtributes.

This area is called the Hall of Supreme Harmony Square, which covers atotal of 30,000 square meters, Without a single tree or plant growing here, thisplace inspires visitors to feel its solemnity and grandeur. In themiddle of thesquare there is a carriageway that was reserved for the Emperor.On both sides ofthe road the groud bricks were laid in a special way sevenlayers lengthwise andeight layers crosswise, making up fifteen layers in all.The purpose of this wasto prevent anyone from tunneling his way into thepalace. In the count yard thereare iron vats for storing water to fight fires.In the whole complex there arealtogher 308 water vats. In winter time, charcoal was burned underneath the vatsto keep the water from freezing .

Why so vast asquare? It was designed to impress people with the hall` sgrandeur andvastness. Imagine the following scene. Under the clear blue sky, theyellowglazed tiles shimmered as the cloud-like layers of terrace, coupled withthecurling veil of burning incense, transformed the hall of supreme Harmony intoafairyland. Whenever major ceremonies were held, the glazed,crane-shapedcandleholders inside the hall would be it, and incense and pinebranches burntin front of the hall. When the Emperor appeared, drums were beatenand musicalinstrument played. Civilian officials and generals would kneel knowinsubmission.

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, thesuddendrum-beating and loud music caught the young emperor unprepared .He wassoscared that he kept crying and shouting,"I don’t want to stay here."

Dear tourists

hello everyone.

Now we come to the Bund by the Huangpu River in Shanghai. First of all, Iwould like to welcome you to visit the Bund and wish you a pleasant trip.

There are five tourist routes in the new Bund. On your left hand side arethe magnificent buildings and spacious Zhongshan Road known as the "WorldArchitecture Expo". On your right hand side are the sparkling Huangpu River andPudong Lujia financial and trade zone with bright future. In front of you is anew and unique sightseeing area. The buildings, Zhongshan Road, sightseeingarea, Huangpu River and Lujiazui are like the staff in the music score, whilethe industrious Shanghai people are like strings of inter symbol, forming thelatest and most beautiful movement. Welcome to all the guests.

After the first war in 1840, the locked door was opened by the colonists,and Shanghai was forced to become a commercial port. Since then, all kinds ofwestern style buildings have sprung up with the colonists "seizing the beach".By the early 1930s, Shanghai had leapt from a coastal town to the largest cityin the Far East.

Although these buildings with European Renaissance style are not designedby the same designer or built in the same era, their architectural style is soharmonious and unified that it seems to be natural. From the the Bund road tothe outer white road bridge, the length of the arc is only 1.5 kilometers, androw upon row of 52 buildings of different styles, including English, French,ancient Greek, etc. At that time, many foreign banks, associations andconsulates gathered here, known as "Wall Street" in the East, forming ahistorical miniature of the semi colonial and semi feudal society in oldShanghai.

Please see, Dongfeng Hotel No.2 on the new Bund used to be a very famousBritish club. It is a typical British classical building. The building is 6stories high (including basement). There is a pavilion at the north and southends of the roof. The interior decoration is very gorgeous. The first floor barused to be proud of its 110.7-foot bar, which is the longest in the East. NowKFC is located in the bar.

Before the new Bund 12, it was the famous "HSBC Bank". The building wasbuilt in 1923, which is an antique Greek style dome building. The building is arectangular building close to square, with five stories high and a halfspherical top layer. There are seven stories at the top of the building and asteel frame structure. The interior of the building is decorated with variousreception rooms in the United States, Britain, France, Russia and Japan. Thisbuilding was once regarded by the British as one of the most exquisite buildingsfrom the Suez Canal to the Bering Strait in the Far East.

The building next to HSBC is the Shanghai customs building, a 19th-centuryretro building, built in 1927, which is rare in the world today. The clock onthe top of the building can be seen all around. It plays a short tune every 15minutes. The sound of the bell is melodious and deep, with a sound of 10 Li.

After Wilson, the British designer, the HSBC building and the customsbuilding are affectionately called "sister buildings" in Shanghai, and they arestill one of the important symbols of Shanghai.

The two buildings at the entrance of Nanjing East Road are called peacehotel. The south facing building was built in 1906. It was called Huizhong hotelat that time. It is the earliest existing hotel in Shanghai. It can be used as ahistorical building, belonging to the Renaissance of British culture. Thebiggest feature of the building is that the facade is made of red brick withwaist line and white wall brick with veneer. From a distance, it looks solemnand elegant with unique style, which is a rare masterpiece.

These buildings on the Bund are the crystallization of the industriouswisdom of the Chinese working people, and also reflect the plunder and invasionof Shanghai by the western colonists. Nowadays, in order to let people know thehistory of these buildings, the Chinese and English nameplates are hung in frontof each building.

As for the Bund, the name given to her by Shanghai people has changed withthe passage of time. Shanghai people call the Bund before liberation the oldBund and after liberation the Bund. Now people praise it as the new Bund. Therehave been scenes of seizing the Bund many times in history, but each time has acompletely different historical significance. Since the Third Plenary Session ofthe Eleventh Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, the strategicfocus of Chinas reform and opening up has also changed from south to north. Thedevelopment and revitalization of Pudong has brought Shanghai to the forefrontof Chinas reform and opening up. The spring breeze has awakened Shanghai Bund,which has been sleeping for many years. Chinese and foreign financialinstitutions have also seized the Bund. Shanghai has made a major move to "clearthe nest and attract Phoenix", replacing the Bund Financial Street houses,attracting "old customers" from home and abroad to settle down again, showingthe style of "Wall Street" in the Far East.

The Bund is a symbol of Shanghai and a must for Chinese and foreigntourists. But in the past, because of the narrow road and the crowded traffic,the overall image of the Bund was seriously affected. In order to change theappearance of the Bund, the Shanghai Peoples government takes the Bund as a keypoint to transform. The road in front of us is called Zhongshan Road. It isnamed in memory of Dr. Sun Yat Sen, the pioneer of Chinas democraticrevolution. It is also part of the comprehensive transformation of the Bund. Theroad is 826m long and 45m wide with 6 to 10 lanes. This wide traffic line is notonly limited to the Bund area, but also extends with the pace of reform andopening up. It starts from Jiangwan Wujiaochang in the north and ends at NanpuBridge in the south. By the beginning of the next century, the North-SouthCorridor will be 15 kilometers long and will become a landmark of Shanghaitourism.

The riverside road we are taking now is quite unique. It not onlyintegrates culture and greening, but also is a good place for people to practicewriting and martial arts in the morning, a place for tourists at home and abroadto visit in the daytime, and an ideal place for lovers to have a love talk inthe evening. It is said that many foreign friends have come to experiencelife.

Ladies and gentlemen, strolling in the new Bund Sightseeing Area, do youfeel that the new Bund not only has a new look, but also has a strong artisticatmosphere in the bustling city. Lets see: an artistic landscape with the themeof "for tomorrow" is set on the Bund of Yanan East Road, embracing with sixcolumns and combining with the meteorological signal station with a history ofmore than 80 years to form a group of scenery. The customs building and theelectronic waterfall clock are also quite new. The electronic waterfall clock isa ladder type, 27 meters long and 3.5 meters high, with 10 full steps. The wholeoperation process is controlled by computer. There are more than 1000 jets ofwater in various colors of Arabic numerals, which makes the world so far awayand so close to each other. The tourist area has become a scenic line ofShanghai style culture that can accommodate hundreds of rivers.

Walking on the Bund, we unconsciously entered Huangpu Park. When it comesto the park, everyone in China cant forget the sign "Chinese and dogs are notallowed to enter" hung by foreign powers at the entrance of the park. Theinfamous sign brought great shame to the Chinese people at that time. Now, the60 meter high Shanghai Peoples handsome monument stands in front of the water.The majestic three pillar huanggangyan tower seems to tell people that thepeople will always remember the heroes who sacrificed their lives for thenational humiliation and Shanghais revolutionary cause since the war, the May4th Movement and the liberation war.

Huangpu Park is facing the famous Huangpu River at home and abroad. "Theyellow water in Huanglongpu on the moon" vividly depicts the color of HuangpuRiver. Jiangpu river is the mother river of Shanghai. It originates from TaihuLake in Wuxi. It is the longest, widest and deepest river in Shanghai, with atotal length of 114 km, an average width of 400 m and a depth of 7-9 M. Itsoriginal name is Dongjiang, also known as chunshenjiang and huangxiejiang. It issaid that more than 20__ years ago, Shanghai belonged to the state of Chu. Atthat time, there was a great general named Huang Xie in the state of Chu. He wasvery talented in governing the country. He was appointed prime minister by theking of Chu and was granted the title of "fengshenjun" to govern the land ofShanghai. Due to the siltation of the upper reaches of Dongjiang River at thattime, he led the people of Shanghai to dredge and modify the waterway, whichgreatly developed Shanghais water transportation and agriculture. In order tocommemorate Huang Xies achievements, later generations changed the name ofDongjiang River to "chunshenjiang" and "huangxiepu", which was not officiallynamed "Huangpu River" until the Southern Song Dynasty.

Overlooking the other bank, Pudong Lujiazui financial and trade zone andPuxi Bund are facing each other. Its functions are finance, trade and foreignservices. It will be the core and symbol of new Shanghai. "East Bund" BinjiangAvenue, with a total length of 2500 meters, integrates tourism, sightseeing andentertainment, along which there are six distinctive squares. Although I canonly smell the rumbling sound of piling, it is the most gorgeous movement on thestaff and predicts a better future for the Bund.

Sun Wen Memorial Park is located in the south of the central city ofZhongshan, at the junction of Xingzhong road and Chenggui road. It is located onthe new ten sceneries of "Xingzhong brocade". Covering an area of 26.6 hectares,it was fully completed and opened to the public on the birthday of Dr. Sun Yatsen in November 1996. The plaque of the park was written by Professor ouHaonian, a famous calligrapher and master of Lingnan School of traditionalChinese painting in Chinese Taiwan. Different from other tourist attractions, the parkdoes not have tickets, so visitors can visit the park free of charge.

Sun Wen Memorial Park is mainly reconstructed from two gentle hillsides,which is divided into two different functional areas: Revolutionary Memorialarea and comprehensive tourist area. The theme of the revolutionary memorialarea is to commemorate Dr. Sun Yat Sen, with a bronze statue of Dr. Sun Yat Sen,fountain, pine garden, bamboo garden, plum garden and Longbai mountain plantedwith 999 Longbai trees. Far away from the revolutionary memorial area is thecomprehensive tourist area, which has "Xiangshan", "feilaishi", "yixiantian","Shuiliandong", "guanjingge", "yingyangshi" and other scenic spots. The wholepark focuses on the theme of "Commemoration", and the layout of scenic spots isclosely arranged around the theme.

From the main gate of the park, through the park archway carved withgranite, you can enter the revolutionary memorial area of the park. Here, thefirst thing you can see is the green and straight Longbai on both sides and sixtall Huabiao. The whole environment is solemn and solemn. Climbing up thegranite steps, you will soon reach the platform of the top of the mountain. Atthis time, the tall and powerful statue of Dr. Sun Yat Sen will appear in frontof you. Looking back to the north from the statue of Dr. Sun Yat Sen, you canhave a panoramic view of the high-rise, modern and dynamic Zhongshan City. Inparticular, it is spacious and straight, with a lot of traffic. The XingzhongRoad, which is known as "Xingzhong brocade", is even more impressive. It is thehometown of great people, and the atmosphere and beauty of the famous cityZhongshan. Looking to the East, the broad Chenggui highway, Boai Road, and thehigh-rise buildings in the new urban area are reflected one by one. Looking tothe south, it is the fraternity hospital built by Zhongshan people withdonations raised from the charity ten thousand peoples walk. Standing at thefoot of the statue of Dr. Sun Yat Sen, visitors can not only enjoy the uniquearchitectural style, but also appreciate the love of Zhongshan people. Lookingto the west, it is a park with beautiful scenery. Of course, from the stepsbehind the statue of Dr. Sun Yat Sen, tourists can also visit pine garden,bamboo garden, plum garden and other scenic spots.

Between the revolutionary memorial area and the comprehensive tourist areaof Sunwen Park, there is a broad lawn with green grass. On one side, pavilionsand waterside pavilions stand among the green trees and red flowers, while onthe other side, stone carvings and coconut trees show tropical style. Walk alongthe pedestrian passage in the middle of the lawn, and you will arrive at thecomprehensive tourist area in a short time.

When we arrived at the comprehensive tourist area, the first words thatcame into our eyes were "coming from behind" written by Dr. Sun Yat Sen. Alongthe steps on both sides, you enter Xiangshan garden. At this time, you will findthat its really beautiful. There are many scenic spots, such as the huge"flying stone"; the artificial but distinctive "a line of sky"; the "watercurtain cave" with huge stones, weeping willows and murmuring water; and the"viewing Pavilion" which can not only enjoy the whole park, but also thepanoramic view of Shiqi City in Zhongshan. In particular, it is worth mentioningthat there is a Rhododendron Garden with nearly 30000 rhododendrons plantedhere. From March to April every year, when the azaleas are in full bloom inspring, the whole Rhododendron Garden becomes a sea of flowers and people. Thecolorful azaleas and the colorful windmills turn with the wind to form acharming and romantic landscape. At this time, whether it is foreign tourists,local residents, or migrant workers who are usually busy with work and rarelytravel, they will try their best to come here to enjoy the flowers and takepictures.

Maybe its because Sun Wen Memorial Park is so beautiful. Maybe itsbecause Sun Wen Memorial Park has two functions: Memorial and leisure at thesame time. In a word, the scenery around Zhongshan people is full of visitorsevery day.

Today we are going to visit Xian city wall, bell tower and Drum Tower.Its a great honor to serve you.

The ancient castle we see now is the city wall of Xian in Ming Dynasty,which was built on the basis of Changan Imperial City in Tang Dynasty in theearly Ming Dynasty. It is one of the most famous city walls in the history ofthe late Middle Ages in China. It is the largest and most complete defensefacility of ancient military castle in the world.

Xian, as an ancient capital for thousands of years, has built city wallsmany times in the past dynasties. Most of them are buried in the dust ofhistory. The wall we see now can be traced back to the Sui Dynasty. In 1369 ad,Xu Da, a general of the Ming Dynasty, entered Shaanxi from Shanxi and changedthe original Fengtian road to Xian, which means "long-term stability in thewest". It opened the prelude of building the city wall in Xian in Ming Dynasty.The shape of the wall, which took eight years to build, is a rectangle. The wallis 15 meters high, 12-14 meters wide at the top, 16-18 meters wide at thebottom, and 13.9 kilometers long. The bottom layer is made of loess, lime andglutinous rice juice. After drying, it is very strong.

The ancient city wall of Xian includes a series of military facilitiessuch as moat, suspension bridge, gate tower, arrow tower, main tower, cornertower, enemy tower, parapet, crenel, etc. Well, now lets feel for ourselves thescientific, rigorous and complete military defense system.

The most peripheral part of the city wall is the moat, also known as the"moat", which is the first line of defense of the city wall. It can block theenemys attack and even take advantage of the favorable terrain to destroy theenemy. The moat around the city wall of Xian is 20 meters wide. Crossing themoat is the gate, and the only channel connecting the moat and the gate is thesuspension bridge. At ordinary times, the soldiers obeyed the command of themorning bell and the evening drum. In the morning, they lowered the suspensionbridge to open the city gate; in the evening, they raised the suspension bridgeto cut off the traffic. Once there is a war, the suspension bridge rises and thegate is closed, the gate becomes a solid and closed Battle Fortress.

City gate is the key and weak point of city defense system. Usually, it isthe access to the city. In a war, it is the primary target for both sides.Therefore, the Ming Dynasty attached great importance to improving the defensefacilities of the city gate. One of the most remarkable technologicalbreakthroughs is the use of the arched gate to prevent the enemy from attackingby fire. The gate of Xian City in the Ming Dynasty was very strong. The doorleaf was made of 16 cm thick wood. One gate was made of 2.8 cubic meters ofwood. The door leaf was reinforced with iron bars, and 180 iron mushroom needleswere nailed between the two iron bars. There are 1800 iron mushroom needles onthe whole door leaf. In this way, the wood of the door leaf is compacted, andthe stiffness of the door leaf is increased, so that the arrow can not be shotin.

In order to improve the security coefficient of the city gate defense, thecity gate is actually composed of three parts: Gate Tower, arrow tower and mainbuilding. The gate building is on the outside, and its function is to lift thesuspension bridge. Its also used to play watch. When the enemy invades the gateof the gate tower, it seems to enter the urn. They will be attacked from allsides. Therefore, the space downstairs is also called "urn city". The archerytower is in the center, with windows on the front and on both sides for archery.The archery tower and archery tower are connected by a wall, which is alsocalled "Wengcheng" and can garrison troops. The main building is in theinnermost part. The tower above the main building is the main building of thecity gate, which is the commanding place of the general. Outside the city wall,there is an enemy platform protruding from the main body of the city wall every120 meters, commonly known as "horse face". There are 98 "horse faces" on thewhole city wall. The building above the "horse face" is called the enemy tower.The distance between the two enemy platforms is 120 meters, and one side of itis 60 meters, which is "a stones throw". This layout makes it easy to shoot theenemy from the side. Therefore, the ancients commented: "if there is a citywithout a platform, it is just like there is no city. The city is the guardian,and the platform is the guardian.". On the outside of the city wall, there aredwarf pheasants, also known as "pile wall", with crenels and square holes forarchery and watching. The low wall on the inside is called "parapet" to preventsoldiers from falling under the wall when they walk. In the four corners ofXian city wall, there is a tower called "turret". In the urn formed by thearrow tower and the main tower, there is a horse road leading to the head of thecity, which is convenient for the horses to go up and down. During the war, thisis the throat of the deployment of troops, and we must ensure that there is noobstruction. So the guard is very strict.

With the change of time, we can see Changle gate, Anding gate, Zhuque gate,Hanguang gate, Yuxiang gate and so on. The origin of these names also reflectsthe ups and downs of the ancient city. The city wall of Xian in the MingDynasty shows the wisdom of the ancient working people of our country. OK, thecity wall of Xian is here. We will continue to take you to visit the bell andDrum Tower.

The bell tower and drum tower are the unique buildings in ancient Chinesecities. Bell and drum are the earliest percussion instruments in China, with ahistory of more than 3020__ years. Initially used as ritual and musicalinstruments. It has been used in military command since the spring and Autumnperiod. Ancient Chinese cities have the nature of military castles. In additionto building walls around the city, digging trenches and setting up suspensionbridges, there are also bell and drum towers built in the center of the city asthe command center. At ordinary times, it reports the time by morning bell andevening drum, opens and closes the suspension bridge regularly, and it is usedto warn the police and command the city defense in case of emergency. This tighturban defense system reached its peak in the Ming Dynasty. Xian is an importantmilitary and political town in Northwest China in Ming Dynasty. Its bell towerand Drum Tower rank the first in terms of architectural scale, historical valueand artistic value in China.

The building we see now is the bell tower, which is located at theintersection of the four streets in Xian. It was built in the 17th year ofHongwu in Ming Dynasty. It was originally located in Yingxiang temple on theWest Street. With the eastward movement of the city center, in 20__ of Wanli ofShenzong of Ming Dynasty, the bell tower was demolished as a whole and moved tothe present site.

The bell tower is a typical architectural style of the Ming Dynasty, with aheight of 36 meters, double eaves and brackets, gorgeous and solemn. It consistsof three parts: base, body and roof. The base is square, all made of greenbricks. The building is a square wooden structure, surrounded by an ambulatoryon the outside and a two-story building on the inside with wooden ladderscircling up. In the square hall on the upper and lower floors of the building,there are various kinds of valuable porcelain and red Phoebe furniture since theMing Dynasty. The four sides of the doors are covered with relief paintings,with a simple and vivid style. The top of the building is a four cornerstructure, covered with green glazed tiles. The top dome is 5 meters high,glittering and brilliant.

On the northwest corner of the bell tower is a Ming Dynasty iron bell,which weighs 5 tons and has eight trigrams on its side. It is much smaller thanthe bronze bell that hung in the bell tower earlier. The giant bell originallyhung in the bell tower is a "Jingyun bell" cast in the Jingyun period of TangDynasty. Now the bell is collected in the forest of Steles in Xian. It is saidthat after the bell tower was moved from Yingxiang temple to the present site,although the style and size of the tower have not changed, the Jingyun bell willnever ring. Theres no choice but to change. In order to move the jingyunzhongto the new bell tower, an inclined bridge was built in the west section of theWest Street, and the bridge slope was used to transport the jingyunzhong to thebell tower. It is said that "qiaozikou" also got its name.

There are inscriptions on the west wall of the bell tower. Song of the belltower was written by Gong Maoxian, governor of Shaanxi Province, who built thebell tower when he was dismissed and went to Beijing. The bell tower is warmlypraised in the poem. The story of the bell tower was written by Zhang Kai, thegovernor who had built the bell tower. It describes the life experience of thebell tower in detail. On the door of the bell tower, there are 64 woodcut reliefstory paintings, including Mulan joining the army, Change flying to the moon,Liu Yis biography, Eight Immortals crossing the sea and so on. After thefounding of the peoples Republic of China, the peoples Government of Xiancarried out three large-scale repairs to the clock tower, which made the ancientbuilding glow with its former style.

Far away from the bell tower is the drum tower. The door opening at thebottom of the tower is north-south, leading to the north gate and the SouthDarcy street. The drum tower was built in the 13th year of Hongwu in MingDynasty. It is sister to the bell tower. There is a huge drum on the north sideof the first floor of the drum tower, which forms a late drum with the morningbell on the bell tower, so it is called the drum tower. The building isrectangular. The height and width of the door opening on the base are 6 meters,and the depth is 38 meters. The drum tower is built with double eaves and threedrops of water. The building is divided into upper and lower floors. There aretwo plaques under the eaves of the north and the south. In the south, theEmperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty engraved a book with his pen: "the land ofculture and military prosperity", and in the north, Li yunkuan, a scholar ofXianning County, wrote "the sound is heard in the sky". In the outer eaves ofthe drum tower are decorated with Dou Gong, surrounded by corridors. The ceilingis painted with cloud pattern, antique, very beautiful. Bell and drum towerscomplement each other, making the ancient city of Xian more beautiful andspectacular. Well, this is the end of the tour of the bell and Drum Tower. Thankyou!
