The mainbuilding is the Great Hall of worship, which is the location of todays Hall ofpraying for new year. The temple of heaven has outer wall and inner wall. It isround in the north and square in the south.

Now we are going south along the central axis of the temple of heaven. Whatwe are going to see is the Circular Mound Altar where the ancient emperorsoffered sacrifices to heaven. There are two enclosure walls in the round hill,which make the outside square and the inside round, in line with the statementthat the sky is round and the place is round. What needs to be mentioned inparticular is that the place where the emperor stood was the Tianxin stone inthe center of the mesa. He is one of the three acoustic phenomena in the templeof heaven. When reading aloud here, the voice is particularly loud, and now itsthe same here. You tourists may as well experience the strange effect, and likethe emperor of that year, tell God your good wishes.

Among theseancient cypresses, there is a cypress over 500 years old, which is the ninedragon cypress outside the west wall of echo wall. Its trunk texture is verystrange, full of ravines, and twisted, like nine dragons winding around playing,so it is not too much to call it Jiulong cypress. Please dont climb trees. Payattention to your words and deeds. This is a sacred place. We should keep aquiet mind,

After liberation, the temple of heaven has not only become a famous touristattraction, but also an integral part of Beijings urban green space. Not onlytourists come here, but also some elderly people who are specially for physicalfitness.

And the annual mean temperature in badaling more than 3 ℃, lower than the Beijing become the leader of "shall" yanqing tourist.

Badaling Great Wall in yanqing county of Beijing. One is the Great Walls pass. Its GuanCheng is narrow east west wide trapezoid, built during Ming hongzhi 18 years (in 1505), chopped jiajing and wanli period used. Something second east GuanCheng MenE topic "house agent outside the town," carved in the eighteenth year of jiajing (1539); Simon frontal topic "north gate lock-and-key", engraved Yu Wanli ten years (1582).

South 6th floor shop is a room, the shop is constructed on the top of the upper, the width between the three, the top of the mountain, red pillars, grey tile, small and exquisite. This is probably the "thousand total" command post.

游客们：这里有两口“第五泉”，一在东岸上，碑石上刻着“第五泉”三个大字;另一个在西侧池中，为雍正年间凿池时发现的，当时的人认为，这才是真正的第五泉，所以建亭于其上。大家都知道，在历史上被称作“天下第一泉”的有四个：江苏镇江中冷泉、江西庐山谷帘泉、北京玉泉、济南的趵突泉，而被称作天下第五泉的只有扬州一个。

在第五泉东面依墙筑着一块石碑，上刻“鹤冢”二字，顾名思义，这就是鹤的坟墓。大家对北宋诗人林和靖的逸事可能略知一二，传说他一生孤高自好，不娶不仕，隐居杭州孤山，喜欢种梅养鹤，有“梅妻鹤子”之说。光绪十九年，住持和尚星悟禅师在平山堂也养有两只鹤，极为珍爱，任凭双鹤戏耍自如。后来一只仙鹤患足疾而死，另一鹤悲痛欲绝，最后绝食而亡。星悟禅师深为感动，将双鹤埋葬在此，并立一石碑，上刻“鹤冢”。

各位游客，平山堂是欧阳修贬谪扬州太守时所建。可敬的是欧公不为世俗所羁，一到扬州，就爱上了蜀岗，于是在此建堂。史载，每到夏天，公务之余，他常带朋友来此饮酒赋诗，他们饮酒方式颇为特别，常叫从人去不远处的邵伯湖取荷花千余朵，分插百许盆，放在客人之间，然后让歌女取一花传客，依次摘其瓣，谁轮到最后一片则饮酒一杯，赋诗一首，往往到夜，载月而归，这就是当时的击鼓传花。大家注意看“风流宛在”的匾额，“流”字少了一点，“在”字又多了一点，大概是提醒大家做事要少一点风流，多一点实在吧。

当人们提起欧阳修时，必然会想到他的学生苏轼(苏东坡)。从平山堂往后走数米便是“谷林堂”，这是苏东坡56岁任扬州知府时为纪念欧阳修而建的，堂名取自他自己的诗句：“深谷下窈窕，高林合扶疏。”以诗的第一、二句的第二个字“谷”、“林”为堂名。

游客们：现在我们最后再去瞻仰栖灵塔。有寺庙的地方必有塔，人们常说：“救人一命，胜造七级浮屠”，浮屠是印度梵文中塔的别称。栖灵塔初建于隋文帝时，塔高九层，唐代著名诗人李白、刘长卿、刘禹锡、白居易等均曾登塔赋诗赞颂。可惜原塔在唐武宗时化为焦土。1980年鉴真大师塑像回扬州“探亲”，各界人士倡议重建栖灵塔。新建后的栖灵塔气势雄伟，成为大明寺的标志性景观。登上塔顶，扬州景观尽收眼底。

各位游客：大明寺从初建至今已有1500多年，这段历史饱经忧患，历尽沧桑，多次修葺，才有今日新貌，来之十分不易。大明寺既有美丽的湖光山色，又有古老的宗教寺庙，更有鉴真、欧阳修、苏东坡在此留下的历史印迹，观物赏景，融为一体，令人流连忘返。

Royal today, temples garden, private garden, with the song dynasty neo-confucianism shao yung has written "festival only two world, the world famous heavy luoyang" of a sentence, can want to at that time, the luoyang garden house, the flower of the spectacular. Each to bloom "emperor city spring sunset, cry cry chariots and horses, a total of the peony, hand to buy flowers." Become a beautiful landscape city of luoyang. Poet liu yuxi "but the peony true national color, the blossoms to move the capital" and the song dynasty scholar sima guang "luoyang spring the most prosperous, red and green among 10 m, who is the flower, like the splendid, people will be splendid study group spent." All paint luoyang people eat during tang and song dynasties frenzy.

All is Chinas famous hundreds of flowers, long, enlisted qunfang, but only the peony high grade. It flowers gigantic, wide variety, the myriad of feminine beauty, crown recalled. Concept of "ancient and modern florilegium, more than 360 kinds of beauties, none but with peony comparison. Therefore, known as" the king of flowers ". And the luoyang is located in the central plains, mild climate, rainfall is moderate, suitable for the growth of peony. The song dynasty writer ouyang xiu in luoyang high rank, he enjoyed the luoyang places of interest, have a special liking to the luoyang peony, author of "luoyang peony". His "luoyang ley spent the most appropriate, particularly heaven" peony verse says the luoyang peony growing advantageous natural conditions.

It is said that long time ago, wild peony on MangShan people not expensive, often cut the wood, a young very pity, transplanting it hospital, elaborate care. In a handkerchief, embroidered peony flowers. The young man wondered, was about to ask girls suddenly disappeared. XiuPa, but see a top have a poem: "name of luoyang, Mang range for my home. Are you feeling heavy, spring to see the wonderful work." In the second year spring, the youth was certainly rich gorgeous peony trapped in the home, graceful, from then on he would make a living by planting peony, family became more and more abundant. Point of view, the legendary the epigenetic the luoyang is the earliest "peony growing expert".

Since the tang dynasty, thousands of years, made a number of cultivation of luoyang peony skillful craftsman. Liuzhou, record the recorded: "song single parent, word ZhongRu, poetry, good plant. All peony one thousand kinds, red and white color, people do not know its operation,d called to mount li (li) plant ten thousand copies, individual color, give daughter, imperial secretary call division for flowers." All previous dynasties scholars intone the luoyang peony flow spit relapsed, KuangDai unique appearance of verse. Tang wang also really write the luoyang peony, "peony enchanting disorderly, a country such as crazy do." Great poet bai juyi wrote in a poem "flowers", "ten households in a clump of dark flower, fu", "fan of every acquisition for customs, all in one", the poem says the luoyang peonys precious and peoples love of the peony. It is said that tang tai years, spring, on the day of li han Leon, the temple to watch the peony, asked the painter Cheng Xiu f: "sung today Beijing city peony poems, who headed?" Cheng answer: "in the book scheeren lee cloud: freed national color to the wine, day sweet night dyed garments." Leon listen to praise, he said the luoyang peony "amusement", so the peony has the reputation of "amusement".

Thousands of years, luoyang peony beautiful, various, gorgeous and charming. Ouyang xius "guest said recent years old take specific, often conjure up a hydraulic-powered tree-trimmers" speaks the truth. In the history of sheng peony varieties of up to 119 a. Now has more than 500 varieties, in a nutshell, can be divided into three, nine, ten. Three categories, namely, single head, start and mixed type.

Nine color is red, pink, purple, blue, yellow, white, green design and color, such as this are classified according to the color of the peony. Ten type mainly based on what the luoyang peony petals, size, flower arrangement and the morphological characteristics of classification. In the 19th century, British scholar evolution Darwin in his masterpiece "on the origin of species" quoted ecological variation of luoyang peony, as proof of his theory of "evolution". The song dynasty, luoyang yao yao peoples yellow and developing the erros of prime minister Wei Renbo home Wei Zi known as kao, flower after respectively. "Yao yellow one, and the brilliant breath is like cutting". Candidates.if your years, luoyang has pressed the song god yao yellow flower, flower large feet 2 inches, he excited, regardless of the reigns of his identity, and placed it over his head, visible, the emperors obsession in the peony, and from then on famously.

Legend, lunar month two years should, xiking changan heavy snow, wu zetian drinking poetry, on an impulse drunk pen write fen book: "swim Ming dynasty garden, rushing harbinger, stamen overnight, mo monring winds to blow." Flowers not this life, open overnight, peony not violations in season alone, shut the core. Wu zetian rage, peony fall out of changan, sent in luoyang, and to the stake. Peony has been the rule, the body such as coke; But branch do not come loose, standing still in the freezing cold, next year when the spring breeze blow, more brilliant flowers, known as "focal bone peony".

Another legend of peony, it is tang clear huang lung-chi lee kai jade bracelet ChenXiangTing vigil changan palace, the "harem of three thousand people, three thousand pet in a" your princess, hearing the luoyang peony has been in full bloom, and the wood in the JinYuan peony is at the end of the bud, then make the imperial secretary drum rush, flowers are still does not open, she was in a rage, will all fall to luoyang peony. Luoyang peony in Tokyo, in a flash, bright flowers branches, blooming together. In fact, with scientific attitude, xi an and luoyang on the same latitude line, but the temperature and humidity are slightly lower than luoyang, luoyang, west across the mountains, and in the MangShan Yang, the chang an early spring. Therefore, generation by Li Baiyou "qingping tune" word "taken two phase huan pour countries, often have the Kings grinned see, explain the infinite hate, dongfeng ChenXiangTing north lean on a railing" flea in jade bracelet, is the imperial concubine bear a grudge, derogatory generation by hyperbole, lifelong grief may not be the volunteers.

各位朋友，大家好!首先我代表武汉快乐旅行社欢迎大家的到来!能和大家相逢在这美丽的宜昌并和大家一起度过这段美好的时光我感到十分的荣幸。我是导游员小张，大家可以叫我张导，这是我们司机唐师傅，唐师傅开车十几年，有很高的水平和丰富的经验，大家可以放心欣赏窗外的风景。在接下来的时间将由我们两个为大家服务，我一定会尽力安排好各位的行程，大家如果在旅途过程中有什么问题，可以尽管提出来，我们会尽量想办法替您解决。希望我和唐师傅的服务使您在这次旅途中感到开心，愉快。我们今天要去参观的就是举世文明的长江三峡水利枢纽工程，既我们通常简称的“三峡大坝”。

三峡大坝位于长江三峡西陵峡中段，湖北省宜昌市境内的三斗坪。古往今来，地球上发生频率最高，危害最大的自然灾害莫过于洪水。人类与洪水抗挣的历史久远，并在抗挣中催生了人类的早期文明。华夏民族尤重治水，且在治水中表现了无与伦比的胆量和智慧。治水者名垂千古，水利工程福泽万代，古代大禹和李冰父子及古都江堰工程就是很好的例证。

世界第三长河长江，源于世界屋脊，上经“天府之国”，中贯“鱼米之乡”，下串“人间天堂”，给两岸以灌溉之利和舟楫之便。然而，它一旦暴怒，便为浩劫，沃野成为泽国，民众或为鱼鳖，是中华民族一大心腹之患。尤其在险段荆江，每至汛期，千余万人头枕悬河，夜不成寐。所以，解决长江中下游地区，特别昌荆江河段的防洪问题是兴建三峡工程的首要出发点。1942年4月3日，全国人民代表大会第七届五次会议(即七届全国人大第五次会议)通过了《关于兴建长江三峡工程的决议》，自此，中国历史上最大的水利工程进入具体实施阶段。1994年12月14日，时任国务院总理的李鹏向全世界正式宣布三峡工程开工。三峡大坝为钢筋混凝土重力坝，全长2335米，坝顶高185米，正常蓄水位175米，总库容393亿立方米，防洪库容221、5亿立方米，相当于4个分洪区的库容。电站装机26台，单机热量70万千瓦，总容量1820万千瓦，年均发电量847亿千瓦时。电厂一年上交的利税可以建一座葛洲坝枢纽工程。大坝通航建筑物年单向一级垂直升船机可快速通过3000吨级客货轮。三峡大坝建成后形成的三峡水库将淹没陆地面积632平方公里，范围涉及湖北的四个县，重庆市的16个县市区，共计20个县(市、区)。须迁移的总人口将达113、18万人，称为“百万大移民”，任务十分繁重。长江三峡工程采用“一级开发、一次建成、分期蓄水、连续移民”的方案。主体工程总工期17年，分3个阶段进行，一期工程5年，二期工程和三期工程均为6年。1997年实现大江截流，20__年启用永久通航建筑物和首批机组发电，20__年工程竣工。

大家或许会问：如此宏伟的工程需要多资金投入呢?这么多钱又是如何去筹集呢?1993年7月，国务院三峡工程建设委员会批准的枢纽工程概算为500、9亿元(按1993年5月末价格水平)，库区移民安置概算400亿元，两项合计，三峡工程按1993年5月末水平的静态投资总额为900、9亿元。筹集这些资金有以下主要途径：一、三峡工程建设基金。全国除西藏自治区、贫困地区农业排灌用电外，每度电征收厘钱;从1996年起，直接受益地区和经济发达地区每度电加征到7厘钱，其余地区仍征收4厘。由此看来，我们每个人都对三峡工程建设作出了贡献。二、葛洲坝水电站利润，在每度电上网价格4、2分的基础上，从1993年起每度电提升1分，到1996年提高到8、2分后不再提高。三、三峡水电站利润，20__年首批机组发电所得到的利润。此外，还需要从国家开发银行贷款、国外商业借贷、发行债券、用卖方出口信贷等方式筹集资金。

那么，兴建长江三峡工程究竟有哪些好处呢?概括起来有以下几个方面：一、防洪。前面已讲过，防洪是兴建三峡工程的首要出发点。三峡工程正常蓄水位175米，有防洪库容221、5亿立方米，防洪效率十分显著，可使荆江河段防洪标准从十年一遇提高到百年一遇;若配合运用荆江分洪工程和其他分、蓄洪区，可将防洪标准提高到千年一遇，基本上可消除洪涝灾害的影响。调查资料显示，三峡工程平均每年的直接经济效益为25亿元。若遇1870年那样的特大洪水时，经三峡工程调节可产生的直接经济效益为：可减少农村淹没损失510亿元，减少城镇淹没损失240亿元，减少江汉油田淹没损失9亿元，以上各项合计达769亿元。此外还可避免大堤、垸堤溃决而造成的大量人口伤亡;避免洪水对武汉市的严重威胁，避免京广、汉丹等铁路干县中断或不能正常运行;避免灾区疾病流行，传染病蔓延;避免洪灾带来的饥荒、救灾、灾民安置等一系列社会问题，这些效益是很难用经济指标来具体表示的。二、发电。“长江滚滚向东流，流的都是煤和油”。流经长江三峡的江水，如不加以利用，就相当于每年有5000万吨原煤或2500万吨原油白白流入了大海。三峡水电站建成后，无论是装机容量还是年平均发电量，在一定时期内都将是世界上第一大水电站。其装机总容量达1820万千瓦，平均年发电量达到847亿度，相当于我国1992年全年发电量的七分之一，每年信电收入达181亿元，除在几年时间内还清贷款本息外，还可成为国家缴纳利税的大户。三、巨大的环境效益。与燃煤发电相比，每年可少排放1亿吨氮氧化合物，以及大量灰尘、废渣，将减轻环境污染和因有害气体的排放而引起的酸雨等危害。同时，三峡工程还可以使长江中下游枯水季节的流量显著增大，有利于珍稀动物白鳍豚和其他鱼类安全越冬，减免因水浅而发生的意外死亡事故，还有利于减少长江口盐水上溯长度和入侵时间。有此可见，三峡工程的环境效益是巨大的。四、航运。三峡水库将改善航运里程660公里，使万吨级船队可以从重庆直达汉口。经三峡水库调节，每年枯水季节可使中游航道水深平均约增加0、5米，保证3万吨级船队的通行。

West Lake

Lying in Hangzhou City of Zhejiang Province, the West Lake is a world famous tourist spot. Embraced by green hills on three sides, the lake covers an area of 5.6 square kilometers and has a perimeter of 15 kilometers.

The whole lake is divided into 5 sections, namely the Outer Lake, North Inner Lake, Yue Lake and Little South Lake, by Gu Hill, Sudi Causeway, Baiti Causeway and Ruangong Mound.

Before the Tang Dynasty, the lake had various names such as Wulin Water, Mingsheng Lake, Jinzhong Lake, Longchuan, Qianyuan, Qiantang Lake, and Shang Lake, etc. In the Song Dynasty (960-1279), the Chinese renowned poet Su Dongpo wrote a poem to praise the West Lake and compared it to Xizi, a Chinese legendary beauty. Since then, the West Lake has another elegant name Xizi Lake.

The beauty of the West Lake lies in its lingering charm that survives the change of seasons in a year and of hours in a day. Among its beautiful sights, the most famous sites are the Ten Sights in West Lake and the Ten New Sights in West Lake, which are known as the Double-Ten Sights in West Lake. The Ten Sights in West Lake are Melting Snow at Broken Bridge(断桥残雪), Spring Dawn at Sudi Causeway(苏堤春晓), Sunset Glow over Leifeng Hill(雷峰夕照), Lotus in the Breeze at Crooked Courtyard(曲苑风荷), Autumn Moon on Calm Lake(平湖秋月), Listening to Orioles Singing in the Willows(柳浪闻莺), Viewing Fish at Flowers Harbor(花港观鱼), Evening Bell at Nanping Hill(南屏晚钟), Three Pools Mirroring the Moon(三潭印月), and Twin Peaks Piercing the Clouds(双峰插云). The Ten New Sights in West Lake are Dream Spring of Hupao(虎跑梦泉), Tea-tasting at Dragon Well(龙井问茶), Gem Bathed in Flowing Rosy Clouds (宝石流霞), Heaven Wind over Wushan Mountain(吴山天风), Scud over Yuhuang(玉皇飞云), Yellow Dragon Spitting Greenness(黄龙吐翠), Rains of Sweet-scented Osmanthus Over Hills (满陇桂雨), Trees in Mist by the Nine Rivulets (九溪烟树), Ruan Mound in Green(阮墩环碧), Cloud Dwelling and Bamboo Path (云栖竹径).

The West Lake is also famous for its historical flavor with numerouscelebrities. National heroes Yue Fei, Yu Qian, Zhang Ruoshui and Qiu Jin were all buried along the West Lake, leaving their illustrious names and noble spirits in the green hills and blue waters. Moreover, many ancient poets and artists, such as Bai Juyi, Su Dongpo, Liu Yong and Pan Tianshou, had also left countless famous writings.

Ladies and gentlemen:

The Palace Museum is located in the center of Beijing. It is also known as the Forbidden City in the old days. Actually it was the imperial palace for the emperors and served as both living quarters and the venue of the state administration in the Ming and Qing dynasties. Its name, on the one hand, comes from ancient Chinese astronomers belief that Gods abode or the Purple Palace, the pivot of the celestial world, is located in the Pole Star, at the center of the heavens . Hence, as the Son of God, the emperor should live in the Purple City. On the other hand, except for palace maids, eunuchs and guards, ordinary the Forbidden City and the Purple City.

It took 14 years to complete the magnificent palace. Construction began in 1406 and finished in 1420. The following year, in 1421 the capital of the Ming Dynasty was moved from Nanjing to Beijing. Starting from the third emperor of the Ming Dynasty Zhu Di to the last emperor of the Qing Dynasty Pu Yi, altogether 24 emperors lived here for a total of 491 years. 14 of then were Ming emperors and 10 were Qing emperors.

The Forbidden City covers an area of 72 hectares with a total floor space of about 163,000 square meters. It is rectangular in shape, 960 meters long from north to south and 750 meters wide from east to west with a10-meter high city wall surrounded and encircled by a 52 meter-wide moat. At each corner of the surrounding wall, there is a magnificent watchtower which was heavily guarded in the old days.

The Forbidden City now consists of more than 90 palaces and courtyards, 980 buildings with rooms of 8,704. Most of the structures in the Forbidden City were made of wood with white marble, stone or brick foundations. The building materials were from parts of our country. The timber came from Sichuan, Guizhou, Guandxi, Hunan and Yunnan provinces in southwest China. But in the Qing Dynasty, the timbers were transported from northeast China. Other construction materials, including brick, stone and lime, were used by both Dynasties. The golden bricks that paved the halls were manufactured in Suzhou, refined bricks used to build the foundation of halls were made in Linqing, and lime came from Yizhou. White marble was provided regularly by Fangshan County and glazed tiles by Sanjiadian.

The Forbidden City can be divided into two parts: the Outer Court and the Inner Palace. The Outer Court consists of three main buildings where the emperors attended the grand of rear three main buildings and the six eastern palaces and six western palaces where the emperor used to handle daily affairs and the living quarters for the emperor, empress and imperial concubines to live in.

The Forbidden City is the best-preserved imperial palace in China and the largest ancient palatial structure in the world. In 1987 it was listed as the world cultural heritage by UNESCO.

The Meridian Gate is the main entrance to the Forbidden City. It is called Meridian Gate because the emperor believed that the meridian line went right through the Forbidden City and his imperial residence was the center of the whole universe. It is 35.6meters high with five towers on the top, so it is also nicknames as the “Five-Phoenix Tower.”

The Meridian Gate was the place to announce the new lunar year calendar on the first day of 10th lunar month every year. Lanterns would also be hung up on the Meridian Gate on the 15th day of the first lunar month during the Ming Dynasty, when all the officials would have a feast in the Forbidden City and ordinary citizens, when all the officials would have a fast in the Forbidden City and ordinary citizens would go to the Meridian Gate to look at the beautiful lanterns. When a general returned from battle, the ceremony of “Accepting Captives of War” was held here. The “Court Beating” also took place here.

The gate has five openings. The central passageway was for the emperor exclusively. But apart from the emperor, the empress could use the central passageway on the day of the imperial wedding ceremony. However, after the palace examination, the first top three outstanding scholars were allowed to go through the central gate. The high-ranking civil and military officials went in through the side gate on the east. The two smaller ones on both sides at the corner were for the lowranking officials. During the Palace Examination all the candidates went in from these two side-gates according to the odd number or even number.
