扬州导游词英语（精品20篇）

各位游客大家好，欢迎来到秀丽的张家界参观游览。十分高兴能同大家一齐游览张家界最大的凌空观景台——黄石寨。先自我介绍一下，我姓x，大家能够叫我小x。

人们常说“不到黄石寨，枉来张家界”，可见黄石寨是整个张家界风景的精华。一位著名诗人以前这样评价黄石寨：“五步称奇，七步叫绝，十步之外，目瞪口呆。”

此刻呈此刻我们面前的这条“杉林幽径”，是十多年前人工开凿的。这条路陡峭而又曲折，在茂密宁静的杉林里若隐若现。而在还没有开凿这条路的时候阿，自古登黄石寨就只有后山一条路了。那此刻大家就随我一齐，沿着这条“杉林幽径”，来欣赏一下两边让人目不暇接的风景吧。

大家请注意听，是否有听到一阵阵歌声?前面就是土家姑娘的点歌台了。此刻就有土家姑娘正在点歌台上唱着悦耳动听的土家山歌。大家看，她们穿戴的都是极具代表的土家族服饰。土家姑娘们个个衣着秀丽，载歌载舞，那是对远道而来的客人表示热烈的欢迎。一路看着张家界秀美的山山水水，此刻再看到我们热情好客、善良淳朴的土家姑娘，大家是不是感悟到张家界“山美、水美、人更美”的真谛了呀

大家请看右边对面的山上，有一个大约20米高的圆形石柱，这上面还有一块长约三米的、宽1.5米的石匣。在石匣上，有一个石盖。这石盖一半凌空，一半盖于匣上，周围环绕着五棵翠绿的松柏。传说呀，张良曾将黄石公的三卷天书藏于匣内，后因战事平息，张良又取出天书，放置在其他的地方。但是，他却忘记了合上抽盖。至今，留下一支半掩半开的石匣。由于这石匣内曾藏过天书，因而被人誉称为“天书宝匣”。

大家再看看前面这座孤立的柱峰，猜猜那又是什么景点它拔地而起，直插云霄，高达300余米，根部稳扎大地，真像一根擎天石柱!这就是张家界有名的“南天一柱”了，因为立在南天门下面而得名。“南天一柱”是整个“武陵源”风景的特写，它拔地而起，上大下小。在它身上有一种历经万年沧桑却仍然坚忍不拔的精神，它是整个“武陵源”石英砂岩峰林地貌景观的缩影，也是“张家界国际森林保护节”的节徽和标志。

好了，此刻我要告诉大家，我们已经顺利的登上了黄石寨的寨顶了。前面这座上平下悬的圆形石峰，就是“摘星台了”。登上“摘星台”，就会让人产生一种“一览众山小”的感觉。个性是到了晚上，似乎一伸手，就能把天空上的星星摘下来。眼前的这个人工景点就是“六奇阁“。这”六奇“，准确地说是指山奇、水奇、云奇、石奇、动物奇，和植物奇。这也是公园内唯一的人造景观。

好了，我就给大家讲解到那里了。接下来大家自由参观。半个小时后我们再在此集合，回到宾馆。谢谢大家!

Dear friends:

Mount Hua is located in the qinling mountain range, which lies in southernshaanxi province.

Mount Hua (hua means brilliant, chinese, or flowery; shan means mountain)is one of the five sacred taoist mountains in china. Mount Hua boasts a lot ofreligious sites: taoist temples, pavilions, and engraved scriptures arescattered over the mountain.

Mount Hua is well-known for its sheer cliffs and plunging ravines. it isknown as “the most precipitous mountain under heaven” and is probably the mostdangerous mountain in the world frequented by hikers.

Mount Hua is located 120 kilometers east of xian, about 3 hours from thecity centre. there are five peaks that make up the mountain: cloud terrace peak(north peak, 1613m)， jade maiden peak (middle peak, 2042m)， sunrise peak (eastpeak, 2100m)， lotus peak (west peak, 2038m) and landing wild goose peak (southpeak, 2160m). north peak, the lowest of the five, is the starting point. it hasthree ways up it: the six kilometer winding track from Mount Hua village, thecable car or the path beneath it.

next on the route is jade maiden peak. legend has it that a jade maiden wasonce seen riding a white horse among the mountains, hence the name. the hikerscan choose to take a left to sunrise peak, a fine place to enjoy the view of thesunrise in early morning (which would involve climbing the mountain in the darkas there is nowhere to stay on the mountain).

alternatively visitors could take a right to lotus peak. Mount Hua meansflower mountain, and it got the name from lotus peak, which resembles abeautifully blooming lotus flower. finally there is a gondola which taksvisitors acroa steep valley to landing wild goose peak, the highest among thefive summits. the path to the summit is characterized by steep rock faces, withobstacles including a foot-wide plank walkway fixed to a sheer rock face withonly a chain along the rock for support. the route continues with footholds inthe rock and a chain for holding. this is followed by a vertical ladder in acleft in the rock. finally there are steep stone steps. the south peak is notfor the faint of heart and is particularly dangerous in winter weather. however,the views are breathtaking. the climb to its summit makes it clear how theimpenetrable mountain repelled attackers over the centuries.

as early as the second century bce, there was a daoist temple known as theshrine of the western peak located at its base. daoists believed that in themountain lives a god of the underworld. the temple at the foot of the mountainwas often used for spirits mediums to contact the god and his underlings. unliketaishan,which became a popular place of pilgrimage, Mount Hua only receivedlocal pilgrms, and was not well known in much of the rest of china. Mount Huawas also an important place for immortality seekers, as powerful drugs werereputed to be found there. kou qianzhi (365-448)， the founder of the northerncelestial masters received revelations there, as did chen tuan (920-989)， wholived on the mountain prior to receiving immortality. in the 1230s, all thetemples on the mountain came under control of the daoist quanzhen school. in1998, the management committee of Mount Hua agreed to turn over most of themountains temples to the china daoist association. this was done to helpprotect the environment, as the presence of monks and nuns deters poachers andloggers.

Tourists, lijiang has beautiful scenery everywhere, said also said not, I hope you will like the scenery. Welcome to come next time.

At the end of winter and the end of spring, I once again set foot on theway to and from Chu and Wu. Now it is dusk, and my boat is sailing on Jiangdong.I stood up and looked at the beautiful place I had passed several times. A touchof sunset reddened the thin clouds. The river reflected the beautiful scenery ofJiangbei Gushan in Jiangsu town. A gentle breeze swept over the lake, ripplinglayers of microwaves. I told the boatman to dock here and leave the next day.The boatman did the same.

I sat back again, holding my glass and enjoying the euphemistic night. Idont know when I fell asleep. Maybe Ive been immersed in the beautifulscenery

In the early morning, I was woken up by the sound of rowing. I looked atthe rising sun with mist in my eyes. A thin layer of fog on the river made thedistant green mountains flicker. "The mountains are so far away!" I cant helpsighing! Really, I cant even see the black and blue, and the end of my journeymay still be on the other side of the mountain. The reflection of the mountainis very long. The boat is driving quietly on the emerald green river, as ifafraid of waking up. The sun shines on the lake, and everything turns fiery red.The scene became so fast that there was no time for people to remember it, sothe next scene appeared again. The fish in the water also showed their headscuriously, trying to understand

The tide is slowly rising, making the original flat river more vast Ah, nowon the river, I am alone. I paced to the bow of the boat, and the river wasbeating the boat at a constant speed. Looking at the broad river, looking at thered sky, in my heart there is a feeling that the sea is broad with fish, and thesky is high with birds flying. The sails were full in the breeze. The boatpushed on. The songs of birds and insects near the ears are high, low, slow andurgent. Lie down on your back and enjoy what nature has brought me

So I spent the night again

The night on the river is very cold, and its the night of the old winterand the new spring. I was awakened by the cold. I went back to the cabin and gotthe quilt. I lay on my back in the bow of the boat and looked up. In the coldblack night sky, there was an incomplete crescent moon. This crescent moon makesme familiar and strange. I remember that at this time of last year, thisincomplete crescent moon seemed to accompany me through another waterway. It wasmore desolate than last year. This feeling was very strange. I always felt thatthe moon and I were a family, ha ha!!

So I mixed with all kinds of complex emotions through the cold night, onceagain, ushered in the dawn, but the moon is still hanging half of the sky.Everything that happened last night is in front of us. Looking at the newbornsun, I cant help but feel the sad darkness in my heart. Then there is the warmdawn. A sense of hope arises spontaneously in my heart. Suddenly, I think of thecoming new year, the old mother, wife and children, the cattle and black dog,and the family reunion and mutual respect in the past years Ah

Now Im alone and cant be reunited with my family. I feel sad. But when Ithink that Im busy for my country, I feel sad. I wrote a letter from home onboard. So far, I have written several letters, but I dont know how to send themback to my hometown. Geese just go back to the north, I put a little bit ofemotion in the letter on geese, hope geese can send back my emotion In the backof the letter I couldnt send out, I filled in another sentence: "my son isaway. I hope my mother wont be afraid that my son wont come back. Geese flyingsouth, home in the north, I will return soon after my long journey

With tears in my eyes, the boatman holds the oar and moves closer to thedistant country. I suddenly recited the poem that I had been brewing for a longtime in my heart, "outside the green mountains, before sailing on the greenwater. The tide is flat, the banks are wide, and the wind is blowing. The Seagrows day and night, and the river springs into the old year. Where can thelocal books be reached, they will return to Luoyang. "

Yandi mausoleum is located in luyuanpo, Tangtian Township, 15 kilometerssouthwest of Yanling County, Hunan Province, also known as "tianzifen". EmperorYans mausoleum, the Shennong family, is a legendary tribal leader in ancienttimes, surnamed Jiang. In history, he taught the people to plant and harvestgrain, so he was called "Shennong". He also tasted herbs and invented medicine,so he was also the "God of medicine". Besides, it is also said that he used fireto benefit mankind, made musical instruments and advocated material exchange Ina word, the Shennong family of Yan Emperor is a God who is inseparable from theinvention and creation of agriculture, industry, commerce, medicine, literatureand other fields in the historical legend, so it has been greatly respected andsacrificed by the Chinese people of all dynasties. Finally, he died because hetasted the poisonous heartbroken herb and had no remedy. It was recorded inEmperor Century written by Emperor Fumi of Jin Dynasty. After his death, he wasburied in Changsha. According to Lu Shi written by Luo Mi of Song Dynasty, "theend of Changshas tea town is called Chaling" (Yanling County was divided byChaling in the Southern Song Dynasty). Ancient trees cover the surrounding areaof Yandis Mausoleum and water surrounds it. On the side of the mausoleum, thereis a "medicine washing pool", which is said to be the place where Emperor Yanwashed herbal medicine, as well as several Royal Sacrifice steles of the Mingand Qing Dynasties.

Yandi Mausoleum scenic area includes Yandi mausoleum, Yanling temple,Fengsheng temple, Chongde square, huzhenguan temple, Luyuan Pavilion,shenghuotai and other cultural landscapes, as well as Luyuan cave, longnaostone, longzhushi, xihuachi and other natural landscapes, which are allattractive places.

The mausoleum area of Yan Emperor was called "Huangshan" in ancient times,covering an area of 2.4 square kilometers. The mausoleum area is covered withgreen mountains, green water circulation, towering ancient trees, and themausoleum hall with national architectural style is brilliant, covering an areaof 3000 square meters. In 960 ad, song Taizu ascended the throne, visitedancient mausoleums all over the world, found Yan Emperor Mausoleum in Bailuyuan,and built a temple in 967. In 1950, Emperor Yans mausoleum was listed as a keycultural relic protection unit of the province. In 1954, the main hall wasburned down because of the fire of pilgrims. In June 1986, the main hall of YanEmperors mausoleum was officially rebuilt with the approval and funding ofHunan Provincial Peoples government. The rebuilt mausoleum hall is divided intofive parts: the first part is the Meridian Gate, in which there are Danlong, twocorridors on the left and right for the stele room, and the second part is theXingli Pavilion, which is an octagonal pillar Pavilion supported by eight stonepillars, with a horizontal plaque inscribed "the ancestors of the nation shineon the world" and a couplet under it saying "virtue shines on the gloriousindustry for thousands of years; great achievements are made for thousands ofgenerations"; The third entrance is the main hall, with 24 stone pillarssupporting the top of the hall. A plaque inscribed "Chinese people will neverforget their ancestors" is hung in the hall. On both sides of the hall, thecouplet says "making leidan to lay a foundation for agriculture and industry;tasting a hundred herbs to make a precedent for medicine". In the shrine of thehall, the statue of Yan Emperor Shennong is worshipped. The statue of YanEmperor is a gold body, with rice ears in his left hand and Ganoderma lucidum inhis right hand. In front of the statue is a bamboo basket containing grains andmedicinal materials. The banner of "Qi Tians ancestor" is hung on the shrine.There are couplets on both sides of the shrine, which are "the name of theuniverse; the grace of the Divine Land". The whole hall is magnificent andsolemn. The fourth entrance is the tomb Pavilion, with a stone inscription: "thetomb of Emperor Yan Shennong". The fifth entrance is the mausoleum of EmperorYan. Shennong is one of the ancestors of the Chinese nation, so the sacrifice tothe Yan Emperors mausoleum has been very solemn and grand since ancient times.According to historical records, it began to offer sacrifices to Emperor Yansmausoleum in the Tang Dynasty. In the Song Dynasty, since the founding of thetemple by Taizu of the Song Dynasty, it was set as a big sacrifice in threeyears. In the Qing Dynasty, the ceremonies were more frequent, with 41 times ofbig sacrifice alone.

Around the mausoleum hall, there is a red wall more than 10 meters high.Surrounded by a large-scale Fengsheng temple, huzhenguan temple, angel platform,Chongde square, Zaisheng Pavilion, Shiji mansion, yongfengtai and other ancientbuildings, there are Luyuan cave, Xiaqiao, pool (also known as Xiyao pool),Huangyang mountain, longzhushi and other monuments. There are also the tensceneries of Yan mausoleum. They are: the fragrant grass Pavilion (also known asthe grass Pavilion) with flowers and plants; the bank is like a dragons head,like a stone dragons bun; the clouds are misty and bleak, like autumn rain; thehaze around the pavilion is sometimes looming, like a dense haze; In spring,there are fine grasses, clusters of wild flowers, yellow and white flowers, redand purple flowers, just like Jinyin in the destination of Fangzhou springbrocade. Birds and deer in the mountains are inconstant, and sometimes silent.When sacrificing, they fly away and sing harmoniously. There are Sheng Huangsbird and deers harmonies (also known as Bailuyuan): the big camphor ishorizontal, hollow as a hole, and people can sit with a few cups to chant theempty camphor hole; There are thousands of ancient trees in Luyuan, which arestrange. There is a fir in front of the mausoleum, which is divided into twotrunks. It is surrounded by more than ten branches and leaves. After hundreds ofyears of moistening, it is called qiuzhang lingmu. In the north of themausoleum, the pool is deep and clear, and there are hundreds of scales.

Good morning ladies and gentlemen,

Welcome to Qingdao. My name is Miao Meng. I am very pleased to be your service as a tour guide today. The first sight we are going to see this morning is Zhanqiao Land Stage, which is in the gulf of Qingdao. It is the symbol of Qingdao. And it is about a 10-minute bus ride to get there. Before we arrive, shall I give you a brief introduction of the city?

Situated on the south coast of Shandong peninsula, Qingdao is a famous tourist city in China. Known as “ pearl on the Yellow sea”， the city backs mountains and faces the sea, the topography here is special, the scenery beautiful and the climate pleasing. A poem alludes to this beautiful city. It reads as follow,

Green mountains stand still

In-between, clear water flowing

Red roofs glisten in the sun

Kissing your cheeks, soft sea wind blowing

Sea gulls fly, we are not sure

Whether in azure sky, or on blue sea

Peaks are, as in ink drawings, peculiar

And the best, the sight here must be

Founded in 1891, Qingdao has a history of more than 100 years. It is one of the earliest 14 opening door cities of China. Because of its incomparable geographic position, the transportation means here are convenient. Its a good tourist destination and an ideal city to make an investment. I wish your could know better about the city, and it would give you a great impression through my guide and commentary.

Now everybody, here we are on the coast of the gulf. Look! Do you see that long bridge reaches into the sea? Yes, this is the famous Zhanqiao Landing Stage. It is 10 meters wide, 440 meters long. Standing on the south end of bridge in the sea is a two-story pavilion. Its called “Huilange”(which means pavilion of returned billows)。 Looking from afar, it is just like a rainbow hanging above the sea. Isnt it magnificent? In fact, as early as in the 1930s, this Landing Stage was named NO.1 among the ten most famous scenic spots of Qingdao. Now here we are on the landing stage.

Founded in 1892, Zhanqiao Landing Stage witnessed the history of Qingdao city. In 1891, the Qing Government sent Zhang Gaoyuan to garrison in Qingdao village. They built forts and camps here and made Qingdao an important town. In the second year, for the purpose of sea transportation, they built a 200-meter long iron dock with stone foundation in the south coast. That was the predecessor of the Landing Stage. And in 1894, minister Li Hongzhang reported this to the Qing Government. Since then, it has been the symbol of Qingdao.

On Nov. 14, 1897, German troops landed from Qingdao and occupied the city. This bridge was a witness of Germans invasion. In 1900, it was destroyed by a typhoon and was rebuilt as long as 350 meters long by the Germans. It became a sight-seeing spot after Dagang Port was built in 1905.

From September 1931 to April 1934, Zhanqiao Landing Stage was again reconstructed by the Guomindang government. It was prolonged to 440 meters, with reinforced concrete piers and paved road. On the south end of the bridge, a semi-round embankment was constructed, and on the embankment, they built a two-story pavilion in traditional Chinese style.

Look, it is in a shape of octagon and it has eight extending eaves, with yellow glazed tiles on the roofs. From the pavilion, you can enjoy the upcoming billows in layers, and this scene is called “ Feigehuilan”。 When night falls, all the lights on both sides of the bridge are on, they look like the blossoms of magnolia. Since then, Zhanqiao has became the NO 1 scenic spot in Qingdao.

After new China was founded in1949, Zhanqiao has been well preserved and experienced many times of renovation. It has became a place that tourists will never miss to pay a visit whenever they come to Qingdao

Now we are in the pavilion. Shall we go up and enjoy the beautiful scenes here? What a view! This is the real Qingdao, blue seawater, white sand beaches, green mountains and red roofs. Look across from here, that small green island is the “little Qingdao”。 On the island, there is a beacon tower, which is a navigation mark for the ships sailing in the Bay.

And look back to the shore, that street in one line with the bridge is the most flourishing street, which is called Zhongshan Road. The railway station is just near the shore, at a distance of only 500 meters.

Ok, everybody. Would you like to have your pictures taken here? Ill give you a 15-minute break. Well gather on the shore 15 minutes later. See you in a moment.

Wuyishan is a world dual cultural heritage (World Natural and culturalheritage). )As the saying goes: Guilins landscape is better than Wuyis. Its agreat honor for you to have a glimpse of Wuyi Mountain. We are walking throughZhuxi garden now. We warm up before climbing to the top of the mountain -climbing a miraculous little line of sky.

Now you are standing at the foot of Tianyou peak, the highest, steepest,characteristic and most dangerous peak in Wuyi Mountain. You look up as if thereare many high, low and zigzag steps on the big stone. The chain escalator seemsto be hanging from the sky. The steps are all made of stone. Only two or threepeople can stand on each step. There are more than 800 steps in total. If youare interested, you may as well count while climbing. Later, you can see who hasthe most accurate number. Halfway up the mountain, we look back and look down:green vegetation - trees, flowers and crops, like a carpet, and the stream yousee is the famous Jiuqu stream. Look, the winding Jiuqu River is like a silkmirror. The tea gardens are really like human footprints. Lets look forward andlook up. Its like a group of people carrying bones. Originally, it was only anhours journey, because there were so many people. It took us two hours to getto the top of the mountain. Everyone worked hard. Could you tell me how manysteps there were? Yes, it was 826. If you look to the west, thats San JiaoFeng. If you look to the East, thats Dawang Feng. Looking down, you can have apanoramic view of the whole landscape of Wuyi Mountain. No wonder Xu Xiake said:this peak should be the first. This is the end of the tour of Tianyou peak.Please have a rest. The next stop is to row bamboo rafts. (to introduce Tianyoupeak in the order of the itinerary, to grasp the characteristics, or to focus onthe scene and feelings, or to focus on the history, just like the officialcommentary, lifelike. )

Now we are at the upper reaches of the Jiuqu River, which is the soul ofWuyi Mountain. It turns from west to East into Jiuqu, so it is called JiuquRiver. Its drainage area is 5 square kilometers, the whole course is 9.5kilometers, the average width is 7 meters, each song has a different scenery.The so-called person in the middle of the painting not only refers to theLijiang River, but also refers to the Jiuqu River. Later we will see thebeautiful jade girl peak, the majestic King peak and the stout iron plate peak.They also spread a touching folk story: it is said that a long time ago, thedaughter of the Jade Emperor went down to earth to play. When she passed WuyiMountain, she was fascinated by the scenery here, so she secretly stayed in theworld and fell in love with the hardworking young man. However, these thingsmade the ironclad monster understand, so he told the jade emperor about it. TheJade Emperor was very angry and fell in love with him The Jade Emperor had nochoice but to turn them into stones and separate them on both sides of the JiuquRiver. The iron plate monster was also turned into a big stone and inserted inthe middle of them. The two of them had to look at each other. Next, you can siton the bamboo rafts and enjoy the beautiful scenery on both sides of the Strait.Every stone there has a beautiful legend; every mountain has a moving story;every antique has a puzzle; even every tea tree has a wonderful song (searchingfor the typical scene of Jiuqu River, combining with relevant information andmaking the finishing point with beautiful legend, which is impressive. )

Im very glad that we have finished the days sightseeing. I hope you willremember todays happy journey. (a typical guide style language is used tofinish the farewell, which is in harmony with the language style of the fulltext.

Zhaoqing tour guide 5

Zhenshan is located 3 kilometers southwest of Sihui City, with a height of649 meters. In the scenic spot, the trees are verdant, the mountains are clearand the valleys are secluded; the clear spring waterfall, the clouds aresteaming and the fog is blue, which is like a fairyland on earth.

In the Tang Dynasty, Zhenshan was originally named guangzhengshan, but itwas renamed Zhenshan because of the saying that "Wenshi Zhennv was promoted toimmortality here". In addition to the unique natural landscape, Zhenshan iswell-known in Lingnan, which has a lot to do with the legend of WenshiZhenxian.

According to legend, in a small village in yaosha township at the foot ofZhenshan mountain, there is an old couple who are over 50 years old and have nochildren, which is a bit of a fly in the ointment. One night, as soon as thecouple entered the dreamland, they vaguely saw a snow-white lotus floating in,and suddenly felt the fragrance of the house. Soon after, his wife becamepregnant, conceived in October and gave birth to a baby girl. The couple werevery happy. When the girl was full moon, an old friend from a neighboringvillage came to celebrate with his wife and three-year-old brother Qiao. The twofamilies also made an engagement for their children in public. In the twinklingof an eye for more than ten years, when the two families saw that their childrenhad grown up, they began to prepare for their marriage. Unexpectedly, the twofamilies were devastated by the tigers harm. Qiaos father was very ill anddied for half a year. The woodcutters mother was also blind because she was drywith tears. Seeing the miserable situation of the woodcutters family, Miss Wenthought about it again and again. She put on white clothes and resolutely wentthrough the woodcutters family to serve her mother-in-law and shoulder theheavy burden of life. Miss Wens righteous deeds and moral character arewell-known. However, when the local rich men saw that Miss Wen had grown into afair lady, they had already coveted her and had a bad heart. Once they brokeinto the house and wanted to tease her. Miss Wen held scissors and denouncedher, so they had to leave unhappily. However, they didnt give up. Later, theywanted Wengu to submit on the ground of forcing rent and debt. Wengu only gotrefuge in Guangzheng mountain. After a long time, they were found by thosepeople and tried to commit violence. Seeing this, aunt Wen stepped up the stonecliff beside the pool and sternly scolded them: "Id rather die than obey thanhumiliate me!" then she jumped down the deep pool. All of a sudden, there was astrong wind, lightning and thunder, and torrential rain. Those shameless people,being blown into a stampede, rolled down the mountain. After the rain, Wen Gusbody was lying on the pool like a deep sleep, while those shameless people weredead in the mountains. Seeing this, the villagers not only regretted themisfortune of Wen Gu, but also congratulated the gangster for not dying well. Aswe were about to go down to the pool to pick up Wengu . But once upon a time, apiece of yellow paper floated down from the sky, and the book said, "Zhenshan isa piece of white stone, Zhenshan is a piece of white stone; human beings areamorous, and their hair is white. Who worries about Zhenshan?"

Later, Guangzheng mountain was renamed Zhenshan, and Wengu tiaotan wasnamed Zhenya. When the imperial court learned of this, the emperor decreed thatWengu be granted the title of "Wenshi Zhenxian". Sihui county government alsobuilt a temple at the mouth of zhengu Valley in 82019, the 17th year of Zhenyuanreign of emperor Dezong of Tang Dynasty. It was called "zhenlie Temple", alsoknown as "fairy altar". The temple is a Taoist temple, offering a statue ofWengu with a golden body. It is held by the abbot of the Taoist priest. For morethan 1000 years, incense has been burning continuously.

In the past ten years, the memorial archway and Tianyin tower have beenbuilt in Zhenshan scenic area. Around the Zhenshan mountain, there are manyfamous places, such as incarnation pool, fairy fish, fairy snail, stone bowl,stone basket and so on. When you travel here, you can not only enjoy the quietnatural landscape, but also "see things and think of immortals", which is aspecial pleasure.

Dear tourists

There are hundreds of ancient city walls in China, among which the ancientcity walls of Beijing, Nanjing and Xian are the largest. However, the ancientcity walls of Beijing and Nanjing have been demolished or seriously damaged. Theancient city wall of Xian, which was built in 1370 ad, is still intact. WhenJapan came to Xian for a visit to China, they did not look at the pit of theterracotta warriors, the "eighth wonder of the world", but boarded the west gatetower, which was built more than 600 years ago, to appreciate the majesticappearance of the ancient city wall. Now, please come with me to visit theancient city wall of Xian.

The origin of the city wall

Dear tourists, we have enjoyed the colorful and simple ancient city wall inthe morning or sunset of the car shop these days. Now we come to the foot of thecity wall, please walk on the wall tour.

You must want to know what the real meaning of the wall is. The word "citywall" was originally derived from the word "city". According to Shuowen, "Cheng"is the interchangeable word of "Sheng", and "Sheng" is to accept the people, sothe original meaning of the word "Cheng" is to encircle the people and form acountry, which leads to the meaning of city wall. The "city" of the Great Wall,known as the backbone of the Chinese nation, also means the city wall. Butlater, with the development of society, the word "city" contains the explanationof todays city.

The word "city" first appeared in the inscriptions of the Zhou Dynasty,which vividly reflected the military use of ancient city walls. The militaryfunction of the city wall is to protect the private ownership, and in ideology,the size of the city wall is the strict embodiment of the hierarchicalpatriarchal system. Obviously, the ruler built the city wall to protect himselfand declare the national power. The Xian City Wall we see now is one of themost famous city wall buildings in Chinese history. It took eight years from thethird year of Hongwu in Ming Dynasty (1370 A.D.) to the eleventh year of Hongwu(1378 A.D.). It was built on the basis of the imperial city of Sui and TangDynasties. After repair, it basically maintained the complete appearance offeudal city wall architecture, reflecting the outstanding achievements ofancient Chinese city building technology.

Scale, structure and facilities of city wall

Dear tourists, how big is the Xian city wall? What is its structure?According to the calculation, the perimeter of Xian city wall is 11.9kilometers, including 2590 meters of East city wall, 2631.2 meters of west citywall, 3441.6 meters of south city wall and 3241 meters of north city wall. Sucha scale is rare at home and abroad.

You can see a small city with a guard gate outside the four gates of thecity wall, which is called the urn city. The so-called urn means that once theenemy enters, he will be attacked from all sides on the wall of the urn, justlike a turtle in the urn, unable to escape. Outside the urn, there is also asmall city called Yangma city. In ancient times, there was a fixed time for thegate to open and close. After the gate was closed, people who had not yetreturned to the city could go to Yangma city and the park around the city withtheir own sheep and horses to rest and wait for the gate to open before enteringthe city. The Yangma city in Xian was completely destroyed in the late QingDynasty. I remember that in 1986, about 17.5 meters outside the north gate ofWengcheng, Andingmen (West Gate) of Xian City, the north gate of yangmachengwas found, 5.5 meters long and 2.4 meters wide. Now you can see the restoredYangma city on the outside of the South Gate urn. The wall is 198 meters longand 9.5 meters high.

Outside the moat, there were four rammed earth cities named Guocheng, whicharched the four gates. According to "Xian Fu Zhi" volume nine records: TangTianyou years, Han construction Dongguo town and Xiguo town. Song, Jin and YuanDynasties are all due to this. During the Hongwu Period of Ming Dynasty, most ofDongguo small cities were wrapped up in big cities, and those left outside werecalled Dongguo new city. Xiguo town in the late Ming Dynasty. At present, onlypart of the wall of Siguan Guocheng remains, and Guomen only has its name on theplace name.

Now we come to the northeast of Xian City, which used to be the royal cityof the Ming and Qin Dynasties. In the early Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanjin appointedhis second son as the king of Qin and ordered him to stay in Xian to strengthenhis control over the northwest. The whole city is divided into two walls. Theouter city wall is called Xiao wall, which is made of soil. The inner city wallis called brick wall because it is built with green bricks outside. After theMing Dynasty, Xiaoqiang was destroyed. During the reign of Emperor Yongzheng ofQing Dynasty, temples were built in Xian, and most of the buildings in thepalace of King Qin were demolished, and the brick city was changed into theEight Banners church. At present, there are only a few remnant parts of rammingEarth City in the brick city of Qin Wangfu.

When Xian city was built in Ming Dynasty, there were four gates:"Changle", "Yongning", "anding" and "Anyuan". The name of the gate is engravedon the blue stone gate outside the gate. The building built on the gate of thebig city is called the city tower, also called the main tower, which is thecommand post of the commander guarding the city. The building built on the gatehole of Wengcheng is called Jianlou, because there are arrow windows on the wallof the building, which was used for shooting arrows at that time. In theRepublic of China, four gates were opened, commonly known as Xiaosi gate:Zhongshan Gate (Xiaodong gate), which was built at the east end of DongxinStreet to commemorate Sun Yat Sen; Wumu gate (Xiaonan gate), which is at thesouth end of Sifu street today; Yuxiang gate (Xiaoxi gate), which is at the westend of Lianhu Road, was demolished after liberation; Jiefang gate (small NorthGate), formerly known as Zhongzheng gate, was built at the north end of JiefangRoad when Longhai Road was opened to Xian. In 1952, it was demolished becauseof the expansion of the railway station. After liberation, Xian also opened upnew city gates, including Jianguo gate, Heping gate, Wenchang gate, Zhuque gateand Hanguang gate. The north wall has Shangde gate. The east wall has ChaoyangGate.

Most tourists know that there were 98 enemy towers on the walls of Xian inthe Ming Dynasty. However, in 1982, the Xian city wall management office foundthat none of the ancient enemy towers were left, and only some of them still hadfoundation stones. After that, Xian rebuilt 12 enemy towers, which were brickand wood structures, with two stories of double eaves and two corridors on theground floor.

The ancient city wall facilities not only built the enemy tower and arrowtower to prepare for martial arts, but also built the Kuixing tower to sacrificeKuixing, the God who dominated the cultural movement. Kuixing tower in Xian wasbuilt in the east of the South Gate Tower, which was destroyed by the fire.Later, Kuixing building was rebuilt on the original site, which is worthseeing.

How can there be a prince hall?It is said that Yao Qisheng was sheltered by Mazu and successfully completed thetask assigned to him by the emperor. He was granted the title of "PrinceShaobao" by the emperor. Yao Qisheng wanted to thank his mother Zu built the"Prince hall" here. At the beginning of the construction of this hall, it wasintended to become the main hall, but the folk custom is still willing to followthe ancient system. I only think that the building next to me is the mostprimitive main hall. Now lets visit the main hall with me.

This is the holy place in the hearts of hundreds of millions of Mazubelievers. Before we go to visit, lets take a look at the couplet on the gatepost. Do you know what the couplet means? In fact, the couplet skillfully usesthe characteristics of ancient Chinese interchangeable words, so it should beread like this: "qizhai, qizhai, qizhai, qiqizhaijie; Chaochao, Chaochao,Chaochao, Chaochao, Chaochao sound "the first couplet introduces the culturallandscape of Meizhou, where visitors sincerely worship Mazu, while the secondcouplet introduces the natural scenery of Meizhou, which mainly highlights theChaoyin of Meiyu, one of the 24 scenic spots in Putian, Meizhou Island. Afterreading the couplet, please follow me into the hall. There are two halls in thehall, which are connected by a patio in the middle. You can see that there is aplaque hanging on the main beam, which is issued by the Emperor himself!Friends, have you noticed that this hall is very special. There are two Mazuworshipped here, the one in front is called "visiting Mazu", and the one behindis called "Zhendian Mazu" When Matsu went on a tour, Matsu in the town hall wasworshipped by believers. As you can see, the shrines on both sides are full ofMazus accompanying gods, known as the 18 Shuique immortal class. Some of themare sea gods worshipped in other places in ancient times, and some are waterdemons and sea monsters recovered by Mazu.

OK, after visiting the main hall of Mazu temple, lets take a look at thelegendary place where Mazu ascended to heaven - the historic site. Here we are.While you are visiting, I will tell you about the legend of Mazus life. It issaid that Mazu never cried from birth to the full moon, so her parents named her"Lin Mo". Mo Niang was smarter than other children since she was a child. It issaid that she could recite sutras at the age of 8, and was called "filialdaughter" because she saved her relatives at sea. After Lin Mos death, it issaid that she emerged and soared in Meifeng. It is said that the imperial courtsent an emissary Lu Yundi to Korea, and the ship encountered wind and waves whenit was in the East China Sea. In the face of danger, I saw red lights on the topof the ship, and then there was no wind and waves. Lu Yun was surprised, so heasked his subordinates what kind of deity appeared to rescue him. It happenedthat there was a Putian man on board, who said that Meizhou goddess rescued him.Later, when Lu Yundi returned to the court, he played the emperor. This is thefirst time that Mazus deeds came from the people to the court.

Now that the story is finished, lets go to Chaotian Pavilion, the highestpoint on the central axis. Have you noticed that the Mazu worshipped in it isdifferent from other halls? By the way, the Mazu worshipped in it is blackfaced. Friends who have been to Chinese Taiwan must find that all Mazu worshipped inMazu temple in Chinese Taiwan are black faced Mazu. Do you want to know why? It is saidthat during the voyage of Fenling Mazu in Chinese Taiwan for several months, believersburned incense day and night to worship, and devout incense blackened Mazusface, so all Mazu worshipped in Chinese Taiwan are black faced, because ChaotianPavilion is the Chaotian Palace in Lukang, Chinese Taiwan So Mazu is black faced. Now,lets go to the top of the mountain to see the stone statue of Mazu. It takes 99steps to get there, and the axis from the archway of Mazu temple at the foot ofthe mountain to the statue of Mazu at the top of the mountain is 323 meterslong. 99 is the day of Mazus ascent on the 9th day of September. Lets guesswhat 323 meters stands for. By the way, its Mazus birthday.

Well, friends, this is the highest point of Mazu mountain. This statue is14.3 meters high and made of 365 chopsticks of granite. It symbolizes that Mazublesses the residents of 14.3 square kilometers Meizhou Island 365 days a year,happy and safe. Look, Mazus face is kind, looking at the sea. As like as twopeas, the Mazu goddess looks at Chinese Taiwan, and there is a statue of Mazu in Chinese Taiwan.We are jointly maintaining peace and tranquility on both sides of the Straits.There are countless believers in Mazu all over the world. In fact, they have astrong sense of not forgetting their ancestors. Maybe this is the key to thelong-lasting spread of Mazu belief.

Friends, if you have the chance, I hope you can visit Meizhou again.Welcome to visit this strange woman. At that time, please come to Meizhou withyour friends. Thank you!

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。

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."

Welcome to Xijiang Qianhu Miao village, the largest Miao village in theworld. Im Xiao Yang, todays Guide. You can also call me director Yang. I willshare all I know with you today. I hope you can have more harvest today and havea good trip.

① Xijiang Miao village is located at the foot of Leigong Mountain in thenortheast of Leishan County, Qiandongnan Miao and Dong Autonomous Prefecture ofGuizhou Province. It is connected by more than ten natural villages built closeto the mountain. It is the largest Miao village in the world at present,according to 20 reports__ According to the annual statistics, there are 1288households in Xijiang Miao village, with a population of more than 6000, ofwhich the Miao population accounts for 99.5%. 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. Guizhou has concentrated the main cultural characteristicsof the Miao people in China.

③ Miao people have always lived together to form different villages. Mostof them have one family name, and rarely live together. Now we see thetraditional architecture of Miao people, the stilted building, which is a symbolof Miao peoples hard work. The construction technology of the stilted buildingin Xijiang thousand family Miao village is far from the Ganlan architecture ofsouth peoples nest in Hemudu culture. It can be seen that the Miao stiltedbuilding has a long history Zhou is a place with green mountains and beautifulwaters. The Miao peoples villages are mostly built close to the mountains,forming a unique living style. The houses are mainly of wood structure, most ofwhich are two-story and a few of which are three-story. On the hillside, most ofthem are stilted buildings, the front of which are buildings, the back of whichare bungalows, and the lower layer is piled with firewood and animals. Peoplelive on the second floor. If there is a third floor, it is used for stackinggrain and so on. On the second floor of the hanging feet, there is usually adistinctive chair, because the beautiful Miao girls like to sit on it withembroidery,

Therefore, it was named "meirenkao". The Miao peoples stilted buildingconstruction technology was approved by the State Council and listed in thefirst batch of national intangible cultural heritage list.
