昆明导游词英文介绍【实用20篇】

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

天星洞景区在天星桥景区中段。在五光十色、变幻无穷的奇峰异石之中，4根大石柱直抵洞顶，柱上石花丛生，如雕龙刻凤，色泽艳丽，洞中主要奇景有布满碳酸钙凝胶体、状若成堆成串葡萄的葡萄厅;有散立在流石滩坝上若"八仙过海"的石笋群;有色彩艳丽、形状奇特的滴石、云碟、云盘，宛若一席金杯玉盏、佳肴琼浆的"天国盛宴";此外，还有仿如"荷塘"、"万里长城"、"冰山雪原"、"苗寨梯田"以及"鸟虫鱼兽、花草树林、瓜果蔬菜"等造型，都异乎寻常的相似，仿佛世界珍奇、天国神物均聚于此，使天星洞更显得玲珑剔透，富丽堂皇。

天星洞

是典型的喀斯特地貌溶洞。洞内自然形成若干大厅和侧厅。在五光十色、变幻无穷的奇峰异石之中，4根大石柱直抵洞顶，柱上石花丛生，如雕龙刻凤，色泽艳丽。溶洞内主要景观以人工为主，造型奇特，显得玲珑剔透，富丽堂皇。

天星盆景区

位于三岔河的伏流表面和河道的两侧。这是一片水上石林景观，面积0.19平方公里，这里有大大小小的天然山石、水石盆景。弯弯曲曲的石板小道，穿行于石壁、石壕、石缝之中，逶迤于盆景边石之上。沿小道游览，抬头是景，低头是景，前后左右皆成景，仿佛到了天上的仙境，地下的迷宫。主要景观有步步景、一线水、空灵石、天星照影、长表峡、侧身岩、歪梳石、寻根岩、鸳鸯藤、盘龙图、美女榕、象鼻石、天星楼、雏鹰出山等。

在天星桥石林附近石头山的半山腰间，有一溶洞叫天星洞，这是黄果树风景区众多洞府里最美丽的溶洞。天星洞的钟乳石以色彩斑斓称著，洞里的石头，赤、橙、黄、绿、青、蓝、紫七色俱全，几乎成了太阳光谱的灵敏折光镜，把大自然的色彩集中到溶洞里了。洞时感觉 有一根25米高的天然石柱，名天星柱，直托洞里顶穹。石柱周围，有一组石头，每一石头都极像盛开的荷花，大小不一，若轻轻敲击，这莲花状的石头就会发出不同音色的乐声，美妙动人。

水上石林区

水上石林区瀑布水自伏流涌出后，流淌一公里左右，便到了水上石林区。河水从石林的上面分开，环流两侧，又在下面交汇，把一座石林围在水中，区内水流蜿蜒曲折，石林星罗棋布，露出水面。水上石林景区主要景观有银练坠潭瀑布、星峡飞瀑布、群榕聚会、根墙屏障、盘根壁画等。由于长年累月的波浪冲击和流水侵蚀，河床形成无数小坑穴，流水漫顶而下，仿若滚珠落玉，阳光这下，闪闪发光，似无数银练坠入潭中。较之云南石林，天星桥的水上石林以"水"见长，大自然在"水"字上做很好的文章。河水在石林中时隐时现，穿行于石峰、石壕、石壁、石缝之间、石林间长着大片的仙人掌和小灌木丛及各种花草，使冰冷的石头上终年绿荫，展现出生命的繁荣。

Hello, tourist friends, Im your tour guide. My name is Lin, shuangmulin.You can call me Xiao Lin or director Lin. I hope I can have a happy day withyou.

在遵义 老城子尹路 (原名琵琶桥)东侧，原为黔军 25军第二师师长柏辉章 的私人官邸，修建于30年代初。整个建筑分主楼、跨院两个部分。主楼为中西合璧，临街有八间铺面房 ，当年为房主经营酱菜及颜料纸张。铺面居中有一小牌楼，檐下悬挂着毛泽东1964年11月题写的“遵义会议会址 ”六个字的黑漆金匾(此为毛泽东为全国革命纪念地题字的唯一一处)。街面房连接主楼与跨院之间有一座青砖牌坊。牌坊上方用碎蓝瓷镶嵌着“慰庐”二字。牌坊的另一面有“慎笃”二字。

遵义会议会址主楼坐北朝南 ，一楼一底，为曲尺 形，砖木结构，歇山式 屋顶，上盖小青瓦 。楼房有抱厦一圈，楼顶有一老虎窗 。楼层有走廊上，可以凭眺四围苍翠挺拔 的群山，指点昔日红军二占遵义时与敌军鏖战地红花岗，插旗山 、玉屏山 、凤凰山诸峰。会址主楼上下的门窗，漆板栗色，所有窗牖均镶嵌彩色玻璃 。紧挨主楼的跨院纯为木结构四合院，仍漆板栗色。

1935年1月上旬，中国工农红军第一方面军 长征到达遵义后，中华苏维埃共和国 中央革命军事委员会 总司部与一局(负责作点)即驻在这幢楼房里。

从1934年到现在，会址主楼的房间逐步复原了遵义会议会议室、军委总参谋部 办公室、军委副主度周恩来的办公室兼住室 、红军总司令朱德与军委直属队指导员康克清 的办公室兼住室以及红军总参谋长 刘伯承 的办公室兼住室、军委总部参谋人员和工作人员的住室等。

遵义会议会议室在楼上，原为房主的小客厅。面积为36平方米，长方形。屋子正中的顶壁上悬挂着一盏荷叶边盖的洋员灯，屋子的东壁有一只挂钟 (原物)和两个避柜(原物)，其中一个避柜上嵌着一面穿衣镜 。西壁是一排轩亮的玻璃窗。屋子中央陈列着一张板栗色的长方桌(原物)，四周围着一圈木边藤心摺叠靠背椅 ，共20只，为出席遵义会议的人员所坐。长方桌下有一只烧木炭的火盆，为当时取暖用。遵义会议会议室按原来陈列，每天接待成百上千前来的瞻仰者。

军委总司令办公室(作战室)在遵义会议会议室正对的楼下，面积为56平方米，两间长方形的房间组成，中间布一道可折叠的六合门 。屋子正中陈列着两张黑漆大方桌，桌上有铁座马烟、订书机 、中华苏维埃共和国革命军事委员会信 、报纸做的信封、30年代商务印书馆 出版的中国分省地图册 以及《陈中日记》等。屋子的西窗下陈列着两张三 屈桌，桌上置西部皮包电话机，桌下立着线拐子 。东窗下陈列着一对灰褐色的铁皮公文挑箱。北壁上陈列着一幅巨大的云、贵、川三省接壤地区的军用地图 ，图上插着红蓝色的三角小旗，标示着遵义会议召开期间的敌我态势。当年，军委副主席周恩来、红军总司令朱德、总参谋长刘伯承等经常在这里办公、运筹帏幄，部署红军如何摆脱国民党军队的围追堵截 ，将红军引向胜得前进的道路。

周恩来的办公室兼住室在会址主楼西头的第一间。室内按原状陈列：一张老式的暗褐色的木架子床 上，铺白色粗布垫单，有一床灰色薄棉被;窗下一张红漆九屈桌上有铜墨盒 、瓷质毛筒、美孚罩子马灯 、军委会信 、信封、毛笔、铅笔等物件。室内一角置一挑铁皮公文挑箱。壁上持手枪、望远镜与竹斗笠 。在引人注目的壁上还挂着一帧周恩来长征到达陕北后的留影。这张珍贵的历史的历史照片为美国友人埃德加·斯诺 所摄，录下了周恩来艰苦卓绝的革命斗争生涯。那清癯的面容、垂胸的长髯、坚定的目光，与室内简朴的陈设相映衬，，可以想见周恩来在战争岁月中宵衣旰食 、呕心沥血的生涯，令人肃然起敬。

朱德和康克清的办公室兼住室在会址主楼东头第一间，与周恩来的办公室兼住室相对。室内按原貌陈列：一张浅红色的老式木架床上，铺着白色粗布垫单、一床灰薄被!

天津英文导游词

Tianjin is a good choice as a travel destination. With its cool sea breeze and fresh sea air you will definitely feel refreshed. Historical relics, natural scenery, temples, churches, assembly halls and commemorative sites of the Chinese revolution will illuminate Tianjins past, present and future. Tianjin is honored as Building Museum as it was occupied by nine imperial powers before the founding of the new China, leaving behind many buildings with extraordinary and exotic architectural styles, a real feast for the eye! In the following text let me give you a brief introduction to the Jinmen Shijing (top ten scenic attractions in Tianjin).

Huangyaguan Great Wall :

Located in the mountainous area of Tianjins northern Ji County, the Huangyaguan Great Wall was first built during the Northern Qi Dynasty (550 - 557) and repaired in large scale with bricks during the Ming Dynasty (1368 - 1644). When appointed as the chief commanding officer in the Ji Garrison (one of the eleven garrisons of the Ming Dynasty), Qi Jiguang added watch towers and other defensive works.

The Huangyaguan Great Wall comes out first in the ten most-visited sites in Tianjin. It is considered to be a miniature of the Great Wall. The entire section is built on an abrupt mountain ridge. Being endowed with both natural beauty and cultural interest, it has become famous as a natural beauty spot and a summer resort. The major scenic area is composed of Huangyaguan Pass and Taiping Mountain Stronghold.

Huangyaguan Pass: In 1984, the people of Tianjin spent three years repairing 3,308 yards of the main wall from Banlagang Mountain in the east to Wangmaoding Mountain in the west. They restored 20 terraces, the Huangyaguan Water Gate, and the Bagua Castle (the Eight Diagrams Castle). The defensive system of the wall is complete. Watch towers, frontier cities, drain holes, emplacements, barracks and other indispensable military facilities are arranged orderly along the wall. Besides, the stele forests of the Great Wall, Beiji Temple, the exhibition hall of famous couplets, the Great Wall Museum (the first museum along the Great Wall) and the Phoenix Fortress have been newly built within the area.

Taipingzhai Great Wall :

Six miles southeast of Huangyaguan Pass is the Taipingzhai Great Wall, another important mountain stronghold of the wall during the Ming Dynasty (1368 - 1644). It is also called Taipinganzhai, meaning "a village of peace and prosperity". Starting from Banlagang Mountain in the east and arriving at Guafu Tower (Widow Tower) in the west, it winds through the precipitous mountains for about 955 yards.

The wall is an important component of Huangyaguan Great Wall. There are six watch towers, one battlement, and one shortcut leading to the wall. The architectural styles of the military towers vary considerably. There are square, round, solid and hollow towers, with some inside and others outside the wall. Beside the shortcut, there is a small citadel where an 8.5-meter statue of Qi Jiguang, the chief commanding officer of Ji Garrison (one of the eleven garrisons in the Ming Dynasty) is located. The local people built this statue in order to commemorate his great contribution to frontier peace and stability in that period. To the west of the citadel, a section of the wall extends 33 yards out to where a sentry post was situated.

At the western end of the wall is a square stone tower called Guafu Tower, "Widow Tower" in English, built by twelve wives whose husbands died during the construction of the wall in the Ming Dynasty. The widows erected this tower to commemorate their husbands notable exploits. The tower has two levels and measures 13-meters (14-yards) high. Arched arrow windows are on the four sides of the tower.

Besides these cultural points of interest, Taipingzhai Great Wall is also famous for its amazingly impressive scenery. Zigzagging along the mountain ridge for over 984 yards, the wall looks very much like a giant dragon flying through clouds.

各位游客：

大家好 !欢迎大家到微山湖游玩，我是本次旅游的导游，大家可以称呼我张导。希望大家玩得开心，也希望在微山湖的游览能给大家留下一个美好的回忆!

先给大家介绍一下微山湖的情况：她位于山东省南部的微山县，是中国第五大淡水湖，也是北方最大的淡水湖，是中国荷都、北方水乡、铁道游击队故乡。大家一定迫不及待地想浏览了吧，那就随我一起来吧!

我们现在正站在微山湖边，大家顺着我手指的方向看，那片水域，就是微山湖，她就像一颗璀璨的明珠镶嵌在这土地上。为了更好地欣赏微山湖，大家随我泛舟湖上，前面不远处就是有名的万亩荷塘了，大家看这些荷花多美呀!接天莲叶无穷碧，映日荷花别样红，这样的美景是不是令人留连忘返呢?

游客朋友们，时间不早了，今天的微山湖之旅就此结束了，谢谢大家!

我们从分界洲岛的名字可以知道，这个岛属于分界线，那么，具体是什么的分界线呢?让我来一一为大家讲解。 分界洲岛的“三分天下” 气候之分：分界洲岛位于海南省陵水与万宁交界的海中，是牛岭向南海延伸塌陷地段。据说，整个牛岭是五指山山脉的延续，这是由于亿万年前，大陆板块的挤压所形成的。分界洲岛是牛岭的下部分，后来冰川期，海水的浸入，淹没了较低的部分，切断了分界洲岛与牛岭的联系，从而形成了现在的样子。虽说整个海南岛都处于热带，但是由于北面以平原地地型为多，南面以山地为多，这样来自南边的暖气流受到东西走向山脉的阴隔，导致山体迎坡(南面)和背面坡(北面)的气候出现差异，以致这座小小的山岭对海南岛东南的气候也产生了影响。也正因为这样，站在分界洲岛上，经常就可以看到牛岭“牛头下雨，牛尾睛”的奇观。 行政区域之分，这里是万宁市与陵水县行政区域的分界岭，岭北为万宁市，岭南是陵水黎苗族自治县，两个县市的分界碑就在这山岭上。 人文分界，分界岭连接着中部的五指山山脉和西部的鹦哥岭，构成了一条东西纵横山脉分隔了海南岛南北，自然的分界也成为古代海南人文分界，也就是汉族、黎族聚集程度的分界，岭南主要聚居黎族，岭北主要以汉族为主。所以不要小看了这个小小山岭以及这小小岛屿，竟可以如此“三分天下”呢。 分界洲岛的传说 分界洲岛由寿龟湾、福龟湾两个海滩组成。现在的龟寿湾是游人们喜爱的海滨浴场，各位走在这绵软的沙滩上是否感觉象是踩在了鸟的羽毛上一般呢?没错这就是着名的“平沙落雁”，相传就是飞经此地的海鸟们为帮助前来此地产卵的海龟而用羽毛混以细沙铺成的，这样海龟宝宝们就能顺利出生在既温暖又柔软的沙滩上了。那么，海鸟们为什么要帮助海龟呢?而海龟们又为什么要在这里产卵了，周围都是坚硬的岩石，并不适合生育下一代呀?而且从上岛以来我们就见到了好多形态各异的海龟雕塑，尤其还有一只小海龟破壳而出的石雕非常生动可爱，难道这小岛与海龟之间有着什么样不解的渊源吗?这与我下面为大家讲的一个故事有关。 传说在很久很久以前，这里久旱无雨，河水都干涸了，稻田也都旱死了，唯一可以引用的水井又被当地的恶霸占据，并用以高价售水敲诈勒索，生灵涂炭，百姓民不聊生。南海龙宫中一只负责巡海的老仙龟知道了这件事后，心中很不安宁，便瞒着南海龙王，带上自己的龟子龟孙，来到这里，假传龙王的口谕，扣开天门，降下雨水，并帮助当地黎民百姓挖井掘泉，开沟筑渠，灌溉禾田，供给饮水，使老百姓终于度过了难关，开始新的生活。 但是，恶霸岂能善罢甘休，他们毁坏沟渠，结果沟渠变得凶猛把前来破坏的狗腿子一个个淹死;他们想霸占新挖的水井，结果他们一靠近水井就冒着黑烟发着恶臭，恶霸们只好败兴而去。当老百姓来但井边时，井水就依然清甜沁心，从此百姓们过上了幸福的生活，百姓们都非常感谢这口充满灵性的井水。久而久之，人们就把这个地方叫成了“灵水”。后来才改名为现在的名字“陵水”。 而那只善良正义的老仙龟，为了当地百姓的长治久安，风调雨顺，便决定留在这里，驻足在山坡上，日夜守护着这里，直到年老寿终，便化成了一块巨大的龟形巨石。还有更神奇的呢?据说当年老仙龟的子孙们为了不引起龙王的注意，它们决定在这里产卵孵化，所以就有我们先前看到的“平沙落雁”。这件善事最终被玉帝知道了，玉帝深受感动，于是下令，凡是在这里出生成长的海龟，寿命一律延长500岁，由原先的100岁，变成了600岁。同时这里的海赐名为“福海”，岛上的山岭为“寿山”。 至此以后，南海里的许多的动物都纷纷游到这里来产卵繁殖，希望沾点瑞气，借点吉祥;听当地人每年的八月十五中秋节前后，果然会有大量的海龟来到这里产卵，这里沙滩柔软，温度适宜，产卵的成活率很高，而东海、北海的海龟听说了消息后也不远千里万里来这里产卵，希望自己的子孙们也能得以长寿，真像现代人想尽千方百计地去国外生孩子，希望自己的孩子一生下来就成“小洋人”。

天津的五大道是指坐落在天津市和平区成都道以南，马场道以北，西康路以东，马场道与南京路交口以西的一片长方型地区。共有22条道路，总长度为17公里，总面积1.28平方公里。历史上曾是英租界的“墙外推广界”，地势低洼，后被填平，各国建筑师纷纷在此建造房屋，自20世纪60年代开始，天津城建部门为了统一管理，按照由北至南的顺序，将这一地区东西走向的成都道、重庆道、常德道、大理道、睦南道及马场道等统称为“五大道”地区。如今，“五大道”已经成了天津小洋楼的代名词。五大道地区的地名有三个特点：一是独立宅邸多，里巷数量少，而名人名楼概以门牌为标识，不另命名，不设匾牌张。二是街巷通名以“里”为主，“胡同”之名在这里已销声匿迹。三是出现了“大楼”、“别墅”、“村”、“坊”一类公寓庄园的通名，如：香港大楼、马场别墅、剑桥大楼、安乐村、育文坊等。

马场道是五大道地区修筑最早、最宽、最长的马路。马场道121号小洋楼，原为英侨学者达文士居住，称“达文士楼”，这座典型的西班牙花园别墅，是五大道上最早的建筑。坐落在马场道上的还有原北疆博物院和工商学院。北疆博物院是中国早期博物馆之一，创建于1920__年，建筑为平面“工”字形，具有罗马建筑风格。天津工商学院(现为天津外国语大学)建于1920__年，主楼三层带地下室，外檐大块蘑菇石墙面，曼塞尔式瓦顶，圆形大钟，为法国罗曼式建筑风格。

睦南道，长2.08公里，有风貌建筑74幢，名人故居22处，市级文物保护单位4处。道路两旁绿树掩映着风格各异的小洋楼，漫步其间，使人感到路、房、树的空间尺度恰到好处。睦南道20号为孙殿英旧宅。建于1930年，为三层带地下室的西洋古典公馆，颇为豪华气派。24号为中国近代外交家颜惠庆旧居，建筑具有欧洲古典建筑风格。28号的罗马柱廊意式公馆为天津八大家“李善人”的后代李叔福旧居，李曾任天津殖业银行经理。50号为张学良二弟张学酩旧居，红砖清水墙，坡瓦顶，具有英国庭院别墅风格。

大理道3号、5号的蔡成勋旧居。3号是主楼，外观法国罗曼式，内装修使用中式木雕。5号为中式四合院家庙，垂花门及门窗隔扇，砖、木、石雕，无一不精。是中西合璧的公馆。

重庆道55号庆王府。为清朝庆亲王载振的公馆，主楼平面由二层楼的四合院构成，西式外檐，中式天井和装修，顶层为祖先堂。庭院东部为中式花园，有假山、石洞和六角凉亭。也是中西合璧的公馆。

大家好，我叫邱雅琪，大家可以叫我邱导。今天，我来给大家介绍昆明湖的美景。

昆明湖上可热闹了，有游船、画舫从湖面滑过，几乎不留一点儿痕迹。大家请看湖面，这时湖面静的像一面镜子，绿得你像一块碧玉。湖上时不时还传来欢笑声。请大家看昆明湖上有一座美丽的石桥，这座石桥有17个桥洞，叫十七孔桥。桥的栏杆上有上百根石柱，柱子上都雕刻着栩栩如生、姿态不一的小狮子。大家看桥的对面有一座美丽小岛，走过十七孔桥就可以到那座小岛上去玩了。

今天的游行就要结束了，在这里我祝大家健康快乐!希望你们下次再来玩，并且叫上你们的亲人、朋友一起来玩。

女士们、先生们：

大家好!今天我们将要游览的风景点是黄果树瀑布。

黄果树瀑布是中国第一在瀑布，也是世界上慕名的大瀑布之一。1982年11月，经中华人民共和国国务院审定，黄果树瀑布已被列为国家重点风景名胜区。 黄果树瀑布距省城贵阳市137公里，位于贵州省西部镇宁县和关岭县接壤处的打邦河支流的白水河上。从贵阳乘车到黄果树，约需一个半小时左右时间。

黄果树大瀑布已经到了，你们看，这就是早已闻名遐迩的中国第一大瀑布。 黄果树瀑布高68米，加上瀑上瀑6米，总高74米，宽81米，夏秋洪水暴涨，瀑布如黄河倒倾，峭壁震颤，谷底轰雷，十里开外，也能听到它的咆哮;由于水流的强大冲击力，溅起的水雾可弥漫数百米以上，使坐落在瀑布左侧崖顶上的寨子和街市常常被溅起的水雾所笼罩。游人谓之“银雨洒金街”。冬春水小，瀑布便分成三五绺从岸顶上挂下来，远远望去，那洁白的水帘飘然而下，扬扬洒洒，如绸缎飘舞，如仙袂飘举，如淑女浣纱……。

数百年来，黄果树瀑布的雄姿一直为许多文人学者所惊叹。清代贵州著名书法家、“颐和园”三字的题额者严寅亮在“望水亭”题写的对联：“白水如棉，不用弓弹花自散。红霞似锦，何需梭织天生成”，更是形象而生动地概括了黄果树瀑布的壮丽景色。

现在，我们来到了瀑布跌落处---犀牛潭。此潭乃因传说有神犀潜藏水底而得名。有没有神犀，谁也没有见过，但潭水的神秘幽深，至今依然，任何人驻足潭边，都会浮想联篇。若是晴天的上午10时或下午4时左右，由于阳光的折射，你还可以透过瀑布冲击时溅起的雨雾，看到从深潭中升起的七色彩虹，使你顿生雄姿盖世，艳丽昭天之感。

这个瀑布为什么起名叫黄果树瀑布，而不叫其他别的什么瀑布呢?据民间传说，是因为瀑布边上有棵高大的黄桷树，按当地的口音，“桷”与“果”读音相同，所以人们就习惯称之为黄果树，这是一种说法。还有一种说法，传说很久以前瀑布附近的农民都喜欢种黄果，瀑布边上就有一大片黄果园，因此就把这个瀑布称之为黄果树瀑布了。

与世界上其他著名的大瀑布相比，黄果树大瀑布虽然没有非洲维多利亚大瀑布、北美洲尼亚加拉大瀑布、委内瑞拉安赫尔大瀑布那般宽阔、高深和雄伟，但是，黄果树大瀑布自有它奇特之处，它是世界上处在喀斯特地区最在瀑布，也是最壮观的瀑布。这个大瀑布就像是一块奇异的磁 石，在它的地面、地下、水上、水中还吸附着一连串丰姿绰约的景致。其中最神奇的一处，就是隐藏在大瀑布半腰的崖廊洞穴，由于洞外藤萝攀附，水挂珠帘，故曰“水帘洞”。这是世界上其它大瀑布所没有的奇特景观。

女士们、先生们，“水帘洞”已经到了，这个水帘洞全长134米，它由6个洞窗、3个股洞泉和6个通道所组成。根据中国神话故事改编的大型电视连续剧《西游记》中水帘洞一场戏，就是这里拍摄。 这是第一洞窗，它的位置最低，离犀牛潭水面仅40米，但洞窗则最宽大，有十几米宽，位置在第一、二个瀑布中间，大水时两个瀑布就连成水帘，将洞窗全部封住;水小时则次第拉开，从几米到十几米不等，闵像可以随意开合的窗帘。 这是第二洞窗，它离第一洞窗仅4米左右。这是一个静谧的世界，号称水晶宫。它是水帘洞的心脏部分，长11米，高9米，宽3米。路旁有一股泉水，清澈明净，水长年保持在一个水位。洞顶悬挂着许多钟乳石，在麦秆状钟乳石上还有名贵的卷曲石。洞壁上还悬着数不清的石幔、石帘。 这是第三洞窗，它向外突出，很像阳台。这个洞窗有1米高，3米长，外面围有护栏，游人站在护栏后面可以伸手摸到瀑布，所以人们把这里称之为“摸瀑台”。

女士们、先生们，现在我们要游览的景观是犀牛潭峡谷景观。你们看，从犀牛腰往下，是一道一道相连的跌水，依次是犀牛潭、三道滩、马蹄滩、油鱼井等等。在这一连串滩潭中，为首的自然是犀牛潭，它深17.7米，经常为溅珠覆盖，雾珠淹没。只要有阳光，瀑布溅珠上经常挂着七彩缤纷的彩虹，随人移动，变幻莫测。黄果树瀑布为什么会这样呢?这是因为黄果树瀑布地处喀斯特地区，是由水流的侵蚀作用造成的。当溯源侵蚀裂点到达上游时，河水沿着喀斯特裂隙冲刷、溶蚀、冲蚀、磨蚀，管道逐渐扩大，形成落不洞及地下河;当地表河注入落水洞后水量的比例逐渐增大，就形成了喀斯特地区特有的袭夺，在明流注入落水洞处，就形成落水洞式瀑布。随着水流冲蚀及策略崩塌作用不断加剧，暗河洞穴越来越大，于是沿地表干谷发育了成串分布的竖井及天窗，它们不断扩大，归并，垮塌，就造成了现今雄伟壮观的黄果树大瀑布和瀑布下游深切险峻的峡谷。 我希望诸位举起你们的照相机，把黄果树瀑布拍下来，留在你们的记忆中，宣传给更多的人，因为，黄果树瀑布是中国的，同时也是属于世界的。

大观楼位于昆明市西郊约3公里的滇池畔。它近吞波光浩渺的滇池，远与太华山遥遥相望。被赞为“万里云山一水楼”的大观楼耸立其间，园林也因之得名。

进园门，穿过近华浦，揽胜阁壮丽崇宏，楼槛轩敞；新修的怀古廊萦纡回折，槛外银水玉山；涌月亭和观稼堂树木掩映，花丛环绕，最宜月夜闻笛。观稼堂边花坛里，英国伊丽莎白女王二世栽下的玫瑰花争芳吐艳。彩云崖假山幻奇、玲珑嵌空；溯洄洲四面环水，秀坪如茵。过燕语桥继续西行，积波堤压浪卧波，而大观楼则耸立于前，更有那古今传颂的“天下第一长联”，使人留步观瞻。

清乾隆年间自称“万树梅花一布衣”的寒士孙髯翁所撰180字长联，一扫世人俗唱，蕴涵了深厚的社会历史内容，惊动一时。今存大观楼长联有两幅。一幅是与孙髯翁同时的昆明名士陆树堂用行书体书写刊刻，挂在大观楼二楼。另一幅则是清光绪十四年（1888年），由云贵总督岑毓英托赵藩书写，请工匠刊刻后挂于楼下，即今蓝底金字联，长联系木制，为覆瓦形。上下联各90字，字系颜体楷书，刚劲圆润，颇具功力。长联曰：

五百里滇池，奔来眼底。披襟岸帻，喜茫茫空阔无边。看：东骧神骏，西翥灵仪，北走蜿蜒，南翔缟素。高人韵士，何妨选胜登临。赴蟹屿螺洲，梳裹就风鬟雾鬓。更苹天苇地，点缀些翠羽丹霞。莫孤负：四围香稻，万顷晴沙，九夏芙蓉，三春杨柳。

数千年往事，注到心头。把酒凌虚，叹滚滚英雄谁在？想：汉习楼船，唐标铁柱，宋挥玉斧，元跨革囊。伟烈丰功，费尽移山心力。尽珠帘画楝，卷不及暮雨朝云。便断碣残碑，都付于苍烟落照。只赢得：几杵疏钟，半江渔火，两行秋雁，一枕清霜。

上联写登大观楼抒怀，所见到滇池的四周风光。下联历数云南数千年历史及作者的感慨。大观楼现已列为云南省重点保护文物。

绵山以寒食清明节的发源地闻名於世。也许是寒食清明的名气太大，遮掩了它种种的神奇。今年清明时节，去到绵山拜谒大情大义的介子推墓，进山一看，吃了一惊，绵山竟藏龙卧虎有此绝世的奇观！

归来与友人侃一侃绵山的见闻。友人便给我出一道题：“你能给绵山的神奇起个名目吗？”我说：“至少三大奇观”。友人说：“说说看，哪三样奇观。不过，每一样必能称奇於天下，方可谓之奇观。”我听罢笑而道来——第一样是佛教奇观：全身舍利。

早听说古代高僧修成正果，圆寂之后，身体不坏，僧人们便请来彩塑工匠，以泥土包其身，依其容塑其形。佛教中，高僧尸体火化后米粒状的凝结物，称做舍利，并视做勤修得来功德的成果与标志。而这种圆寂后身体不坏的高僧更具同样的意义，故称全身舍利。一般的佛像都是用泥土草木塑造的，全身舍利却有高僧的身体与精神在其中，自然对敬奉者有一种震憾力和影响力。要有怎样坚定的意志和信念，才能成就这样的全身舍利？

所有全身舍利都是古代留下来的。如今不再有了，故极其珍罕。然而，谁会想到绵山上竟还有十四、五尊之多！大都完好地保存在云峰山顶上的正果寺中。

在古代绵山，修炼一生的高僧，自知大限将至，便由一根铁索攀至山顶，或通过一个临时搭架的木梯爬到悬崖绝壁上天然的洞穴里，停食净身，结跏趺坐，瞑目凝神，安然真寂。据说只有真正修成的高僧才能肉身不腐。如今绵山正果寺中东西殿的全身舍利共十二尊。由於身体风干后抽缩，体量显得比常人略小，其神气却栩栩如生。三晋彩塑艺人的技术真是高超绝伦，居然把每一位“包塑真容”的高僧的个性都传达出来。有的仁慈和善，有的忧患悲悯，有的明彻空灵，有的沉静淡定。他们大多是唐宋金元几代的高僧，至今最少也七八百甚至上千年！岁月太长，泥皮破裂，里边露出僧袍；那位唐代天宝年间的高僧师显的脚指甲也能清晰地看到呢！历史赤裸裸和千真万确地呈现在眼前。一种坚韧追求的精神得到见证，令人敬佩。当今世上哪里还能见到这样佛教的奇观？

再一样是山水的奇观。先说山。绵山以石为骨骼，土为血肉，树为衣衫。山多巨岩，往往直立百丈，巍然博大，颇为壮观。最奇特的是这些巨岩的半腰或下部，常常向内深凹进去，有如大汉吸腹，深邃如洞。里边既宁静又安全，无风无雨，冬暖夏凉。绵山里这种内凹的岩洞随处可见，最大的要算是云峰寺山的抱腹岩，中间竟然凹进去五六十米，高五六十米，宽竟达二百米！我此次到绵山已是春暖花开，岩腹内冬天里冻结的冰竟然依旧坚硬不化。古人早就看上这大自然神奇的恩赐，便在这巨大而幽深的岩腹里建庙筑寺。自三国以降，历代修建的庙寺层层叠叠，高低错落，优美异常。年年逢到庙会，来朝拜的香客多达万人。一时香烟缭绕，溢满岩腹。这样的奇观何处之有？

绵山的山奇水亦奇。

原以为绵山多石，水必定少。山里的人却告我一句不可思议的话：“绵山山有多高，水有多高”。待我山上山下留心察看，竟然真的如此。不单溪水在谷底奔流，就连近两千米的龙脊岭和李姑岩的极顶也可以见到泉水从石缝里涓涓冒出。奇怪的是，这些水好似从石头里溢出来的。有的像雨水一样滴滴答答落下来，有的汇成细流沿着石壁蜿蜒而下，有的从岩石里渗到表面湿漉漉地洇成一片，难道绵山的石头里都是水——就像古人所说好的石头都是“负土胎泉”？

绵山最神奇的水莫过於圣乳泉。

传说的圣乳是一种理想，现实的石乳却更奇异。所有石乳都长满厚厚的生气盈盈的绿苔，好似毛绒绒翠绿色的乳罩。有时上边还生出一种紫色小花，娇艳可爱。

这美丽而神奇的圣乳不是绵山独有的奇观吗？

更加惊心动魄的绵山奇观是——挂祥铃。这个原本在唐代是一种祈雨谢佛的法事活动，渐渐已演化为绵山一带的民间习俗。

绵山的挂祥铃在抱腹岩的空王寺。人们在寺中拜求空王佛许愿或还愿之后，便请专事挂铃的艺人上山，将一只水罐大小的铜铃挂在岩腹上方陡峭的岩壁上。

挂铃之举十分惊险。艺人先要爬到山顶，将一条绳索系在松树上，然后扯住绳索一点点降落下来，直至岩腹上方，遂以绳荡身，直到贴附岩壁，再把铜铃牢牢挂在洞口上方的岩壁上。整个过程令人心惊胆战。艺人只身悬吊，下临无地，全凭一根绳索，需要非凡的胆量与技能，是不是非此不能表达对佛的虔敬？故而，每每将铜铃挂好，随即燃放红鞭一挂，以庆事成，亦报吉祥。

挂祥铃这个古俗为绵山人所喜爱，千年不绝。如今抱腹岩洞口挂着铜铃密密麻麻一片，山风吹来，铃声叮当，清脆悠远，与下边寺庙中的钟鼓和梵乐合奏成乐，悦耳亦悦心。此情此景此民俗。何处还有？

在库尔勒，有一个被称为“西塞明珠”的地方，叫博斯腾湖，也是中国最大的淡水湖泊。

记得去年的夏天，我随父母来到了博斯腾湖。当我怀着激动的心情跑向湖边时，一眼看去那蓝蓝的湖面，就像是天空的倒影一样，美丽极了!湖边有许多芦苇，芦苇被风吹过，发出丝丝的响声，就像是在演奏一首动听的乐曲。湖边还有一些飞翔的小蜻蜓，就像一个个小飞机在我眼前飞来飞去。看得人眼花缭乱，应接不暇。在不远处我发现了好几只蜂鸟，它们小小的，快乐地飞来飞去，像一群快乐的精灵。湖中心，我还看到了一些天鹅，那些鹅浮在水面上，让我想起了骆宾王的诗句“白毛浮绿水，红掌拨清波”。那些天鹅飞到天空中，就像是朵朵白云一样，美丽极了。

我们的脚踩到沙子上，感觉软绵绵的，就像是踩在了羊毛上面，让人美滋滋的。沙子被太阳照得金黄金黄的，就像一颗颗金粒一样，刺得人睁不开眼睛。微风吹过，湖面的水一层一层地翻滚着，拍打着岸边，让人心旷神怡!

这就是博斯腾湖，我喜欢美丽的博斯腾湖!

各位游客，大家早上好，欢迎大家随我从五大道游客服务中心出发，步行来游览五大道风景区，很荣幸担任这次的导游工作，我叫__，大家叫我小X就可以了，在我旁边的这位司机师傅姓X，有着多年的驾驶经验，今天就由我和X师傅一同为大家服务，如果在此期间，您有什么问题或是困难，请尽管提出来，我会尽量帮您解决的。希望我的讲解，可以让您更加的了解和喜爱这和地方。

我们今天游览的“五大道”凝聚了近代中国百年的历史风云，已经成为天津小洋楼的代名词了。提起小阳楼，上海、青岛、厦门、武汉都有很多，但比起来，天津却是现存最多、保存最好、最为集中也是最出名的。其中，有一条重要原因，就是居住在其中的人不同寻常。天津租界的划定始于清咸丰十年(1860年)在外国殖民者的胁迫下，清政府屈服，签订了《北京条约》，天津被迫开埠，英国、法国、美国、德国、日本、奥地利、意大利、俄国、比利时就过相继在天津开辟租界地。(天津被迫成为通商口岸的时间和条约，以及九国租界分别是哪几个?)

“五大道”位于市中心的和平区，坐落于成都道以南，马场道以北，西康路以东，马场道与南京路以西的，一片长方形地区，共有22条道路，总长17公里，总面积1.28平方公里。名为五大道，实为六条道，分别为马场道、睦南道、大理道、常德道、重庆道、成都道。在这里有代表性的小洋楼就有230幢，较多的有英式89所，意式41所，庭院式46所，公寓式40所等等，堪称“万国建筑博览会”。

各位来宾随我再往山上走，这儿有一个大佛字，是闽南寺院中最大的一个，高4米多，宽3米多，是清光绪三十一年振慧所书。

现在请各位与我一同往回走，南普陀是全国佛教高等教育的基地，这是闽南佛学院，创办于1925年，由当时南普陀的主持会泉大师为首任院长，他将佛学院作为改革中国僧侣的教育实验园地，使之成为中外著名的佛教高等学府，1937年抗日军兴，学院停办，，1985年又正式复办，由赵朴初会长重写了院额，现设有男女两部，男部在南普陀，女院在金榜公园内的紫竹林寺内，学院的每任校长都是由南普陀现任主持当任，所以现在的校长就是圣辉师。

各位来宾，看对面的普照楼，是专门供应素斋的地方，南普陀素菜以其清纯素雅的独特风味驰名中外，抛开了素菜仿制荤腥模样的传统，坚持素菜素料、素菜素做、素菜素名，其中有道菜名为“半月沉江”这是郭沫若先生所取的名，1962年郭沫若先生偕夫人来到南普陀寺，参观品尝素菜，他看过菜单后便把菜名排列编成韵律诗句，边吃边打拍子唱，兴致甚高，当端上当归香菇冬笋面筋汤时，见其一半香菇为墨色，一半面筋为白色，宛如半轮月影沉入江底，于是便为这道菜取名为“半月沉江”。

颐和园英文导游词

good morning ladies and gentlemen:

my name is . i’m very honored to be youre guide. i do hope all of you could like my guiding and enjoy everything on your pleasant day. this morning we are going to visit the summer palace. the summer palace is located on the northwest suburbs of beijing, about 20 kilometers away from the center of the city. so it will take us about 1 hour to get there. before we arrived at the summer palace, i would like to introduce you a brief introduction of the woderful imperial garden. the summer palace is the most beautiful and the largest imperial garden existing in chinan, and it is the best-preserved imperial garden in the world. in 1998, it was placed on the list of world cultural heritage by the unesco.

the summer palace was first built as an imperial garden at the beginning of 12th century in the jin dynasty. the construction continued to the yuan and ming dynasties. in the qing dynasty, the building of imperial gardens reached its culmination. during emperor qianlong’s reign, the famous ‘three hills and five gardens’ were built on the northwest suburbs of beijing. the summer palace was a part of it and at that time was called the garden of clear ripples. in 1860, the anglo-french allied forces invaded beijing. the ‘three hills and five gardens’ were burnt down to ashes.

in 1888, the empress dowager cixi spent the navy fund having the garden of clear ripples rebuilt. and then she renamed it the garden of nurtured harmony (summer palace).

in 1900, the allied forces of eight powers invaded beijing. the summer palace was once again severely damaged. it was rebuilt again in 1902.

in 1924, the last emperor puyi was driven out of the palace, after that, the summer palace was turned into a public park.

ladies and gentlemen, please look over there, in front of us is an archway. it is called “emptiness and the collection of excellence”, and it is the first scenery of the summer palace. the two chinese words on the front side of the archway mean emptiness and refer to everything in nature and in the scenery. the two words on the back side mean collection of excellence and refer to the tranquility of the beautiful scenery just within the garden.

(outside the east palace gate)

now, we have arrived at the east palace gate. it’s the main entrance of the summer palace. on top of the gate there is a plaque with three chinese characters ‘the summer palace’ in emperor guangxu’s handwriting. the gate that we are now entering was used by the emperor, the empress only in the old days.

(inside the east palace gate)

now we are inside the summer palace. in front of us is the second gate of the summer palace— the gate of benevolence and longevity. the annex halls on both sides were used for officials on duty and the offices of the privy council. well, before we start our tour in the garden, i will briefly introduce you the layout of the summer palace and our tour route. o.k., ladies and gentlemen, may i have your attention please? let’s look at the map together, from it we can see the summer palace covers an area of 290 hectares, which the lake occupies the three-fourths. the whole garden can be divide into three parts: the area was for political activities, resting places of the emperor and empress, and sightseeing areas. our tour will start from the area of the political activities, and end off the marble boat. on the way, we will visit the main constructions of the summer palace, such as the hall of jade ripples, the hall of happiness and longevity, the long corridor, the hall of dispelling clouds and so on. it will take us about two hours to visit the summer palace. please attention, we won’t walk back and our driver will pick us up at the north gate. should you get lost or separated from the group, please meet us at the north gate.

ok, everyone, let’s start our tour from the emperors’ office --- the hall of benevolence and longevity. follow me please.

(inside the courtyard of the benevolence and longevity)

passing through the gate of benevolence and longevity, we have already entered the courtyard of the hall of benevolence and longevity. the huge rock in front of us is taihu rock. it was quarried from taihu lake in jiangsu province, so it was known as taihu rock. please look around the courtyard and you can see there are four grotesque shaped rocks placed in each corner of this courtyard, representing the four seasons of the year. the taihu rocks are usually used as decoration for beautifying gardens and they are thin, crease, leak and penetration in characters.

the bronze mythical animal behind the taihu rock is known as suanni or some people call it qilin. according to ancient chinese mythology, the dragon had nine sons, but none of them became a real dragon. suanni was one of the nine sons of the dragon. it was an auspicious animal that could avoid evil spirits in ancient lengeds. suanni has the head of dragon, the antlers of dear, the hooves of ox and the tail of lion.

(in front of the hall of benevolence and longevity)

this grand hall is the hall of benevolence and longevity. it was first built in 1750. the name of this hall taken from a book entitled ‘lun yu’ by confucius doctrine means, “ those who are benevolent can enjoy a long life.” this hall was the place where emperor guangxu and empress dowager cixi held audience and handled state affairs when they were in the summer palace. for protecting the historical cultural relic, we couldn’t enter the hall. so i would like to briefly introduce you the decorations in the hall of benevolence and longevity. the arrangement of the hall has been left untouched. in the middle of the hall stands an emperor’s throne carved with nine dragons on design. there are two big fans on both sides behind the throne which are made of peacock feathers. behind the throne there is a big screen with red sandalwood frame and glass mirror inlaid. on the mirror there are 226 chinese characters of the word ‘longevity’ written in different styles. there are two scrolls on each side of the wall with a big chinese character ‘longevity’ written on it. it was said that the word ‘longevity’ written by empress dowager cixi. there are 100 bats painted at the background of the scroll symbolizing happiness.

well, please look up the two pairs of incense burners in the shape of a dragon and a phoenix in front of the hall. they were used to burn incense sticks to create the appropriate atmosphere. in the old days, the dragon and phoenix were the symbol of the emperor and empress. according to ritual, the dragons should be placed in the center while phoenixes were to either side in front of the hall.however, here, the dragons are off to the sides and the phoenixes are in the middle. this was a product of the end of qing dynasty when empress dowager cixi handled state affairs behind the screen.

(at the entrance of garden of virtuour harmony)

we are now visiting the garden of virtuous harmony, where emperor qianlong and empress dowager cixi were entertained with bejing opera performances. it mainly consists of the dressing house, the grand theater building and the hall of pleasure smile. the grand theater building was known as the ‘cradle of beijing opera’ was uniquely laid out and magnificently decorated. there are 7 exhibition halls with articles of daily use on display here.

(in front of the grand theater building)

this is the grand theater building. of the three main theater buildings of the qing dynasty, the grand theater building is the tallest and largest one. the other two are changyin pavilion in the forbidden city and qingyin pavilion in the mountain resort in chengde. the grand theater building, a three-storied structure, has a double roof with upturned eaves. it is 21 meters high and 17 meters wide. performances could be staged simultaneously on three levels. the top one was a symbol of happiness, the middle level was emolument level and the bottom stage was named longevity stage. each level has the entrance and the exit. there are some trapdoors in the ceiling and below the floor for ‘celestial being’ to fly down from the sky and the ‘devils’ to appear from the earth to set off a certain atmosphere on the stage. there is also a well and five ponds built under the stage for a good effect of water scenes. the stage is open to three sides.

well, please look at the construction that stands right opposite the grand theater building, it’s the hall of pleasure smile. the empress dowager cixi used bo sit inside the hall to watch and enjoy the peking opera.

(a lakeside walk from the garden of virtuous harmony to the hall of jade ripples)

we are now standing in the middle of a rockery behind the hall of benevolence and longevity. it appears that there’s nothing special ahead. however, after we clear the rockery, we will reach kunming lake. this is an application of a specific style of chinese

gardening.

now, we are walking along the bank of the kunming lake. look over there, not far away in the lake there is an islet. it’s called the spring heralding islet. the pavilion on the islet is called the spring heralding pavilion. a number of willow trees and peach trees were planted on this islet. in early spring, when the ice begins to melt, peach trees are red in pink blossoms, willow trees turn a tender green signaling that the early spring has returned. hence the name ‘heralding sping pavilion’.

(in front of the hall of jade ripples)

this group of special and quiet courtyard dwellings is the hall of jade ripples. the words “jade ripples” came from a verse “gentle ripples gushing out of jade spring”, which refers to the rippling water in the lake. it was first used by emperor qianlong to attend to state affairs. in the late qing dynasty, it was where emperor guangxu was put under house arrest.

this hall is a hallmark of the movement of 1898. emperor guangxu was emperor dowager cixi’s nephew. after emperor tongzhi died, emperor dowager cixi made her nephew, who was at that time four years old a successor in order to continue her hold on imperial power. she ‘handled state affairs behind the screen’. after emperor guangxu ‘managed state affairs personally’ at the age of 19, a political conflict occurred between the conservatives and the reformers. in 1898, the reform movement took place with the aim of sustaining the core principles of the qing dynasty while reforming outdated laws. the movement lasted for103 days until it was suppressed by empress dowager cixi. it was called the ‘hundred-day reform’. after the reform failed, emperor guangxu was put under house arrest here. for the strict control of him, empress dowager cixi ordered to build many brick walls in the front, back, and on the right and left of the hall of jade ripples. at that time the hall was entirely sealed up, just like a prison. today only the hidden walls in the east and west annex room still maintain its original appearance. it is open to visitors as the relic related to the 1898 reform movement.

(in front of the chamber of collecting books)

this is the chamber of collecting books. in chinese, it’s called “yi yun guang”. “yun” was a kind of fragrant weed. in ancient times, it was usually used as termite repellent in rooms where books were stored.in the emperor qianlong’s reign, the purpose of the hall was for collecting books. later it was converted into a residence. there used to be the residence of guangxu’s empress longyu, and his favorite concubine zhenfei.

(in the hall of happiness and longevity)

this group of courtyard is the hall of happiness and longevity. it was the major architectural structure in the living quarters and the residence of empress dowager cixi. the whole compound was basically made of wood, which is ideal for ventilation and lighting. with its quiet and tasteful layout, the hall of happiness and longevity made life very easy and convenient. in front of the hall of happiness and longevity there is a huge rock placed in the middle of this courtyard named “qing zhi xiu” and nicknamed as “family bankruptcy rock”. this huge rock was discovered in fangshan district by a ming official mi wanzhong. he wanted to transport it to his own garden “shaoyuan”. in the old days, transporting such rock was very difficult. after spending all his money to ship it, he still could not succeed in doing this. the big rock was then left on the roadside somewhere near liangxiang county, 30 kilometers southwest of beijing. hence it was nicknamed “family bancruptcy rock”. later emperor qianlong discovered it and transported to the garden of clear ripples and laid in front of the hall of happiness and longevity. the colorful glass chandeliers hanging inside the hall was introduced from germany in 1903. it is one of the earliest electric lights in china.

(in front of the gate of inviting the moon of the long corridor)

ladies and gentlemen, you may have visited some of the best museums in the world, such as the louvre in france and the museum of great britain. now i will show you a special gallery in the palace—the long corridor. in 1990, the long corridor was listed in the guinness book of world records as ‘the longest painted corridor’ in the world’. it would be a pity if we leave the summer palace without visiting the long corridor and the marble boat. now, here we go, the long corridor first!

(strolling along the long corridor)

the long corridor starts from the gate inviting the moon to the shizhang gate. it is 728 meters long and consists of 273 sections. the long corridor is one of the major structures of the summer palace. since the corridor was designed to follow the physical features of the southern slope of longevity hill, four multiple-eaved, octagonal pavilions ( retaining the goodness pavilion, living with the ripples pavilion, autumn water pavilion, clear and far pavilion) were placed at bends and undulation, they represent four seaons of a year. thus visitors will hardly notice the rise and fall of the terrain. as a major part of the architectural style of the summer palace, the long corridor serves as an ingenious connector between the lake and the hill. scattered buildings on the southern slope were linked to create a unified complex.

the long corridor is the longest covered veranda in any chinese garden. on the purlins and beams of the covered veranda, there are over 14,000 suzhou style paintings. among them, there are 546 color paintings relating to the scenes of west lake in hangzhou, zhejiang province. beside the colorful paintings of natural scenery, there are also scenes of flowers, birds, fish, insects, mythology and figures. the paintings of figures are mainly adapted from ancient chinese classical literature, such as ‘pilgrimage to the west’, ‘the romance of the three kingdoms’, ‘the western chamber’, “water margin’, and ‘the dream of the red mansion’.

(in front of the gate of dispelling clouds)

now we are approaching the central part of the structures on the lakeside slope, the tower of buddhist incense within the hall of dispelling clouds. the central axis line starts from the wharf next to the lake to the sea of wisdom on top of the hill. the main architectural structures here are the gate of dispelling clouds, hall of dispelling clouds, tower of buddhist incense and the sea of wisdom, which altogether form a splendid three-dimensional landscape. the layout of this group of architectures was based on scenes described in buddhist sutras. this group of structures are among the most magnificently constructed here in the summer palace. this is a good place to taking photos, we will stay here for about 15 minutes.

now we are walking continuely along the long corridor, the next scene we are going to visit is marble boat.

look over there! halfway up the slope there stands the hall of listening to orioles. it was the place for emperor and empress to enjoy opera and court music. it is said the singing of orioles is very pleasing. before the garden of virtuous harmony was built, empress dowager cixi enjoyed opera and music here. now the hall is one of the most famous restaurants in china, featuring imperial dishes and desserts.

this is the famous marble boat. a famous scientist of china’s eastern han dynasty once said, “water can float the boat, but it can also tip it over.” a prime minister of tang dynasty wei zheng once used these words to persuade li shimin, the emperor of the tang dynasty. he said people are water and the emperor is the boat. people can support a good emperor. however, they also can overthrow the dynasty. emperor qianlong built this huge boat in the garden in order to make the allusion concrete. on one hand, emperor qianlong encouraged himself to run the country well. on the other hand, he wanted to show that his rule of the qing dynasty was as firm as the marble boat and there was no fear of overturning the boat. the marble boat was the place for emperor qianlong to sample tea and enjoy the scenery of kunming lake. emperor qianlong once came here to engage in the freeing of captive animals. in the times of qianlong, the marble boat was a chinese styled stone boat with a chinese style wooden superstructure on the top of it. when it was rebuilt in the times of guangxu, a foreign and chinese elements mixed resulting in two wheels to be added to the boat, one on each side. the floor was paved with colored bricks. all of the windows were inlaid with multiple-colored glass. a big mirror was installed on the superstructure for viewing rain.

our tour is drawing to a close after we visited the marble boat. today we only visited the major scenic spots of the summer palace. i have left other spots of interest for your next visit. i will now show you out through the ruyi gate. our coach is waiting for us outside the gate. i do hope you enjoyed today’s tour. thank you.
