大家好，欢迎来到丽江古城，我是你们的导游HuHu。今天由我带领大家游览丽江古城，请大家跟我来。

丽江古城把经济和战略重地与崎岖的地势巧妙地融合在一起，真实、完美地保存和再现了古朴的风貌，融汇了各个民族的文化特色。它与四川阆中、山西平遥、安徽歙(shè)县并称为“保存最为完好的四大古城”。1997年12月4日被列入世界遗产名录。

丽江地处云贵高原，给人的感觉却是江南水乡。大家也知道，丽江古城被玉龙雪山环抱，把它称作山城也顺理成章，但人们却更喜欢叫它水乡或者水城。丽江还拥有古老的供水系统呢!这一系统纵横交错，精巧又独特，至今仍在有效地发挥着作用。

这里就是古城入口处的大水车，是古城的象征。进到城里来，我们会发现，最能打动人心的还是水。路边溪流潺潺，水草顺水飘来飘去，鱼儿却逆流而上，它们仿佛在和水较劲，又像正在进行着比赛。这里面有一种金鳟三文鱼，它对水质要求特别高，可以用来检验水质的好坏，如果哪一天这种鱼不见了或者减少了，说明水质变坏。当然这一天不曾出现过，我希望以后也不会出现。

古城里有三百多座各式石桥，平均每平方公里有90多座桥，密度之高，堪称中国绝无仅有，被誉为“东方威尼斯”。虽然古城不大，对初来者来说却可能是一个迷宫，穿行在深巷中，总会有游人迷路。不过大家只要牢记“顺水而进，逆水而出”便很容易就能找到路了。古城里还有多处“三眼井”，也就是所谓 “上池饮用，中塘洗菜，下流漂衣”，可见当地居民用水方法的科学和对水资源的珍惜。

丽江的主要民族是纳西族。在纳西族，每个家庭血统按母系计算﹐财产依母系继承﹐妇女在家庭中和社会上享有崇高的地位。而所生子女呢，也归女方所有﹐男子没有抚养教育的责任。被称为女儿国的摩梭人就是纳西族的一支，可见纳西族是个重女轻男的独特民族。

丽江古城这个高原上的明珠，是不是让你流连忘返呢?好啦，朋友们，今天的丽江古城一日游到此结束，大家玩得开心吗?如果喜欢这里的话，以后常来啊!

北有故宫，南有木府，跨过清泉汩汩的流水小桥，突见一座木牌坊赫然立于土木瓦顶居民之间。跨进朱红色的木府大门，眼前豁然开朗，一片开阔的地面上巍然耸立着一座金碧辉煌的宫殿，汉白玉基座雕刻精美，那恢宏的气势，使人恍若置身于皇宫之内。纳西人说起木老爷来，就跟我们提到自己的老祖宗一样亲切。木老爷，从前就是这座浩大宅第的主人。简单一点说，五六百年前的木府，就是丽江古城中的紫禁城。

木土司的府第虽有王者气度，却一反中原王城居中为尊的传统，将府第建于城南一隅。而作为全城中心的则是商贾云集的四方街，纵横交错的街道从四方街这一商贸中心向四面八方辐射。从中可看出古城最初形成于乡村集市，最终也因商业贸易而繁荣,丽江牡丹园客栈。这与古城千百年来作为茶马古道重镇的历史密切相关。木土司的宫廷式建筑在明代已蔚为壮观，明代旅行家、地理学家徐霞客在他的《滇游日记》中就曾惊叹宫室之丽，拟于王者。明代时，古城居民就已达千余户，民居建筑颇具规模。徐霞客曾描述当时的丽江古城民房群落，瓦屋栉比，可见民居繁盛之景象。

On behalf of Anhui travel agency, Id like to extend mywarm welcome to you and wish you a successful tour. If you have any questionsduring todays tour, you are welcome to raise them in time. I must follow theprinciple of reasonable and possible to make your trip happy.

First of all, welcome to Jiuhua Mountain. Next, let me introduce thegeneral situation of Jiuhua Mountain.

During the reign of Tang Tianbao, Li Bai wrote a poem "once upon a time onJiujiang River, looking at Jiuhua peak in the distance, green water hanging onthe Tianhe River, showing off Hibiscus" and "Jiuzi mountain" was renamed "JiuhuaMountain" from then on.

It is a national 5A tourist area, a national courtesy tourism demonstrationsite, one of the three famous mountains in Anhui Province, and one of the fourfamous Buddhist mountains in China. It is also known as the "dizang BodhisattvaTaoist center" in the world, known as "the first mountain in Southeast China"and "Lianhua Buddhist kingdom".

Jiuhua Mountain has beautiful scenery and numerous ancient temples. Thereare 99 existing temples, of which 9 are national key temples.

We are now at the center of Jiuhua street. What you can see is Huachengtemple, kaishanzu Temple of Jiuhua Mountain. The name of Huacheng temple comesfrom the story of "Huacheng refers to the earth" in Buddhist scriptures.Huacheng temple is the oldest ancient temple of Jin Dynasty in Jiuhua Mountain,and it is the "total jungle" of Jiuhua Mountain. Hanging on the temple foreheadis the horizontal plaque of "Jiuhuashan historical relics museum" inscribed byZhao Puchu. The ancient clock in the temple is more than ten feet high andweighs about 20__ Jin. It is exquisitely cast and has a loud voice. "Huachengevening clock" has become one of the "Jiuhua ten sceneries".

Looking up, the hall built on the cliff is the famous "centenary Palace".Now lets take the ground cable car to visit the centenary palace!

On the plaque of the centenary palace, the ten gold characters of "bestowthe centenary palace, protect the country and Wannian Temple" were inscribed byLi Yuanhong, President of the Beiyang government. According to records, in theWanli period of the Ming Dynasty, a monk named flawless came to Jiuhua Mountainat the age of 26 and spent a hundred years of hard work in Motianling, Dongyapeak. Three years after his death, his body was found in the cave. The monk onthe mountain believed that he was reincarnated as a living Buddha, so he offeredhis body in gold. Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty granted him the title of"Yingshen Bodhisattva" when he understood that this body was a monk withouttime.

Next, lets go to the rooftop. We have to pass fenghuangsong scenic spot togo to the rooftop. Fenghuangsong is located in the Min garden of JiuhuaMountain, which is a major landscape of Jiuhua Mountain. Please see, the pine is7.68 meters high and 1 meter diameter at breast height. It has a peculiar shape,just like the phoenix spreading its wings, so it is called Fenghuang pine. Thehistory of this pine was recorded in the southern and Northern Dynasties, and ithas a history of 1400 years. It has the reputation of "the first pine in theworld".

The scenic spot of Jiuhua is located on the Tiantai Mountain. Tiantai peakis the main peak of Jiuhua Mountain, with an altitude of more than 1300 meters.There is a saying that "if you dont climb the Tiantai Mountain, you will notcome.". From the rooftop of Jiuhua street, about 15 kilometers to Huali mountainroad, the surrounding mountains are crawling, and the surrounding rocks aregrotesque. The inscription of "non human" on a huge stone really makes peoplefeel like they are in Penglai fairyland. Tiantai "holding the sun Pavilion" towatch the sunrise is no less than Mount Tai. Therefore, "Tiantai xiaori" islisted as one of the "ten sceneries of Jiuhua".

Now we come to the body Hall of shenguangling, where the body ofjinqiaojue, the Bodhisattva of Tibetans, is worshipped. Because of his commonsurname Jin, he was honored as "jindizang".

During the Kaiyuan reign of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, Jinqiaojue, a 24-year-old king of Silla, crossed the sea to seek Dharma in China.He boarded Jiuhua via Nanling and other places. He chose a cave to live andpractice in a secluded place deep in the mountain.

Jin qiaojue devoted himself to training for 75 years. At the age of 99, hepassed away in Jiuhua Mountain. After three years of the letter, it still "lookslike life, with soft hands and a sound at Luojie, like shaking a golden lock".The monks believed that he was the incarnation of the Bodhisattva, so they builta stone pagoda to worship him and called him "jindizang" Bodhisattva.

As a result, Jiuhua Mountain became a Taoist center of dizang Bodhisattva,and thus became famous in China and even the world. It gradually became a holyland of dizang Yinghua, which was called together with Manjusri of WutaiMountain, Puxian of Emei Mountain and Guanyin of Putuo Mountain.

This hall is majestic and majestic. It is a tower hall type building,covered with iron tiles, with palace style eaves at the four corners. You haveto climb 81 steps to enter the hall. Look at these two plaques, which read "thepalace of the flesh" on the top and "the first mountain in the Southeast" on thebottom. The hall is three rooms wide with white marble on the ground. In thecenter of this 1.8-meter-high White Jade Pagoda, there stands a seven storyeight sided wooden pagoda. There are niches on eight sides of each floor of thetower, and each niche is dedicated to a gold statue. Outside the wooden pagodais a white jade altar with a standing statue of Yama in the ten halls holding aGUI in both hands. At the four corners of the base of the pagoda, there are thetop beams of the pillars, and inside the pagoda are the three-level stonepagodas dedicated to the body of the golden earth. In front of the tower is ahollow octagonal glass lamp, which is always bright.

Well, tourists, todays tour is over. Thank you very much for your supportand cooperation in my work. Welcome to visit again!

故宫英文导游词

forbidden city(紫禁城)

(in front of the meridian gate)

ladies and gentlemen:

i am pleased to serve as your guide today.

this is the palace museum; also know as the purple forbidden city. it is the largest and most well reserved imperial residence in china today. under ming emperor yongle, construction began in 1406. it took 14years to build the forbidden city. the first ruler who actually lived here was ming emperor zhudi. for five centuries thereafter, it continued to be the residence of23 successive emperors until 1911 when qing emperor puyi was forced to abdicate the throne .in 1987, the united nations educational, scientific and cultural organization recognized the forbidden city was a world cultural legacy.

it is believed that the palace museum, or zi jin cheng (purple forbidden city), got its name from astronomy folklore, the ancient astronomers divided the constellations into groups and centered them around the ziwei yuan(north star). the constellation containing the north star was called the constellation of heavenly god and star itself was called the purple palace. because the emperor was supposedly the son of the heavenly gods, his central and dominant position would be further highlighted the use of the word purple in the name of his residence. in folklore, the term ”an eastern purple cloud is drifting” became a metaphor for auspicious events after a purple cloud was seen drifting eastward immediately before the arrival of an ancient philosopher, laozi, to the hanghu pass. here, purple is associated with auspicious developments. the word jin (forbidden) is self-explanatory as the imperial palace was heavily guarded and off-explanatory as the imperial palace was heavily guarded and off-limits to ordinary people.

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

the forbidden city is rectangular in shape. it is 960 meters long from north to south and 750 meter wide from east west. it has 9,900 rooms under a total roof area 150,000 square meters .a 52-meter-wide-moat encircles a 9.9-meter—high wall which encloses the complex. octagon —shaped turrets rest on the four corners of the wall. there are four entrances into the city: the meridian gate to the south, the shenwu gate(gate of military prowess) to the north, and the xihua gate(gate of military prowess) to the north, and the xihua gate(western flowery gate )to the west ,the donghua (eastern flowery gate) to the east.

manpower and materials throughout the country were used to build the forbidden city. a total of 230,000 artisans and one million laborers were employed. marble was quarried from fangshan country mount pan in jixian county in hebei province. granite was quarried in quyang county in hebei province. paving blocks were fired in kilns in suzhou in southern china. bricks and scarlet pigmentation used on the palatial walls came from linqing in shandong province .timber was cut ,processed and hauled from the northwestern and southern regions.

the structure in front of us is the meridian gate. it is the main entrance to the forbidden city. it is also knows as wufenglou(five-phoenix tower). ming emperors held lavish banquets here on the 15th day of the first month of the chinese lunar year in hornor of their counties .they also used this place for punishing officals by flogging them with sticks.

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

(after entering the meridian gate and standing in front of the five marble bridges on golden water river)

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

the forbidden city is divided into an outer and an inner count.we are now standing on the southernmost part of the outer count. in front of us lies the gate of supreme harmony .the gate is guarded by a pair of bronze lions ,symbolizing imperial power and dignity. the lions were the most exquisite and biggest of its kind. the one on the east playing with a ball is a male, and ball is said to represent state unity. the other one is a female. underneath one of its fore claws is a cub that is considered to be a symbol of perpetual imperial succession. the winding brook before us is the golden water river. it functions both as decoration and fire control .the five bridges spanning the river represent the five virtues preached by confucius :benevolence, righteousness, rites, intellence and fidelity. the river takes the shape of a bow and the north-south axis is its arrow. this was meant to show that the emperors ruled the country on behalf of god.

(in front of the gate of supreme harmony)

the forbidden city consists of an outer countyard and an inner enclosure. the out count yard covers a vast space lying between the meridian gate and the gate of heavenly purity. the “three big halls” of supreme harmony, complete harmony and preserving harmony constitute the center of this building group. flanking them in bilateral symmetry are two groups of palaces: wenhua (prominent scholars) and wuying (brave warriors) . the three great halls are built on a spacious “h”-shaped, 8-meter-high, triple marble terrace, each level of the triple terrace is taller than the on below and all are encircled by marble balustrades carved with dragon and phoenix designs. there are three carved stone staircases linking the three architectures .the hall of supreme harmony is also the tallest and most exquisite ancient wooden-structured mansion in all of china. from the palace of heavenly purith northward is what is known as the inner court, which is also built in bilaterally symmetrical patterns. in the center are the palace of heavenly purity, the hall of union and peace and palace of earthly tranquility, a place where the emperors lived with their families and attended to state affairs. flanking these structures are palaces and halls in which concubines and princes lived. there are also three botanical gardens within the inner count, namely, the imperial garden, caning garden and quailing garden. an inner golden water river flows eastwardly within the inner court. the brook winds through three minor halls or palaces and leads out of the forbidden city. it is spanned by the white jade bridge. the river is lined with winding, marble –carved balustrades. most of the structures within the forbidden city have yellow glazed tile roofs.

aside from giving prominence to the north-south axis, other architectural methods were applied to make every group of palatial structures unique in terms of terraces, roofs, mythical monsters perching on the roofs and colored, drawing patterns. with these, the grand contour and different hierarchic spectrum of the complex were strengthened. folklore has it that there are altogether 9,999 room-units in the forbidden city. since paradise only has 10,000 rooms, the son of heaven on earth cut the number by half a room. it is also rumoured that this half –room is located to the west of the wenyuange pavilion (imperial library). as a matter of fact, although the forbidden city has more than 9,000 room-units, this half-room is nonexistent .the wenyuange pavilion is a library where “si ku quan shu”- china `s first comprehensive anthology-was stored.

(after walking past the gate of supreme harmony)

ladies and gentlemen, the great hall we are approaching is the hall of supreme harmony, the biggest and tallest of its king in the forbidden city. this structure covers a total building space of 2,377 square meters, and is know for its upturned, multiple counterpart eaves . the hall of supreme harmony sits on a triple “h”-shaped marble terrace the is 8meters high and linked by staircases. the staircase on the ground floor has 21 steps while the middle and upper stairways each have 9.

the construction of the hall of supreme harmony began in 1406. it burned down three times and was severely damaged once during a mutiny. the existing architecture was built during the qing dynasty. on the corners of the eaves a line of animal-nails were usually fastened to the tiles. these animal-nails were later replace with mythical animals to ward off evil spirits. there are altogether 9 such fasteners on top of this hall. the number nine was regarded by the ancients to be the largest numeral accessible to man and to which only the emperors were entitled.

there was a total of 24 successive emperors during the ming and qing dynasties who were enthroned here. the ball was also used for ceremonies which marked other great occasions: the winter solstice, the chinese lunar new year, the emperor` s birthday, conferral of the title of empress, the announcement of new laws and policies, and dispatches of generals to war .on such occasions, the emperor would hold audience for his court officials and receive their tributes.

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

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

(on the stone terrace of the hall of supreme harmony)

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

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

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

the hall is supported by a total of 72 thick pillars .of these, 6 are carved in dragon patterns and painted with gold and surround the throne. above the very center of this hall there is a zaojing, or covered ceiling, which is one of the specialities of china `s ancient architure. in the middle of the ceiling is a design of a dragon playing with a ball inlaid with peals. this copper ball, hollow inside and covered with mercury, is known as the xuanyuan mirror and is thought to be made xuanyuan, a legendary monarch dating back to remote antiquity. the placing of the caisson above the throne is meant to suggest that all of china` s successive emperors are zuanyuan` s descendants and hereditary heirs. now you might have noticed that the xuanyuan mirror is not directly above the throne. why? it is rumored that yuan shikai, a self-acclaimed warlord-turned emperor moved the throne further back because he was afraid that the mirror might fall on him .in 1916 when yuan shikai became emperor, he removed the original throne with a western-style, high-back chair. after the foundation of the people` s republic of china in 1949 the throne was found in a shabby furniture warehouse. it repaired and returned to the hall.

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

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

during the qing dynasty, they were altogether 308 vats in the palace enclosure. they were made of gilt bronze or iron. of couse, the gilt bronze vats were of the best quality. when the allied forces (britain, germany, france, russia, the united states, italy, japan and austria) invaded beijing in 1900 under the pretext of suppressing the boxer rebellion, the invaders ransacked the imperial compound and scraped and gold off the vats with their bayonets. during the japanese occupation of beijing, many vats were trucked away by the japanese to be made into bullets .

(in front of the hall of complete harmony)

the square architecture before us is called the hall of complete harmony. it served as an antechamber. the emperor came here to meet with his countiers and add his final touches to the prayers which would be read at the ancestral temple. the seeds, snowers and prayer intended for spring sowing were also examined here. the two qing sedan chairs here on display were used for traveling within the palace during the reign of emperor qianlong.

(in front of the hall f preserving harmony)

this is the hall of preserving harmony. during the qing dynasty, banquets were held here on new year` s eve in honour of mongolian and northwestern china` s xingjiang princes and ranking officials. the emperor also dinned here with his new son-in-law on the wedding day. imperial examinations were also held here once every three years. during the ming and qing dynasties, there were three levels of exams: the county and prefectural level, the provincial level and national level. the national exam was presided over by the emperor. the civil service exam in ancient china started during the han dynasty. it served the purpose of recruiting confucian scholars to the ministers and high officials. during the tang and qing dynasties reinstituted and ancient system. once every three years, three hundred scholars from all over the country came to beijing and took exams for three day and night. this system was abolished in 1905.

(behind the hall of preserving harmony)

this is the largest stone carving in the palace . it is 16.73 meters long, 3.07 meters wide and 1.7 meters thick .it weighs about 200 tons. the block was quarried in fangshan county, roughly 70 kilometers away. to transport such a huge block to beijing, laborers dug wells along the roadside half a kilometer apart, and used the groundwater to make a road of ice in the winter. rolling blocks were used in the summer. in 1760, emperor qianlong of the qing dynasty ordered the carving of the existing cloud and dragon design in place of the old one which dated back to the ming dynasty.

note : from here, the tour can be conducted via three different routes: a western route(route a), a central route (route b) or an eastern route (route c) .the commentary for each follows.

route a

ladies and gentlemen:

you have seen the three main halls of the forbidden city. now i ` d like to show you around the hall of mental cultivation and the imperial garden . the hall of mental cultivation is situated is in the western part of the innermost enclosure and is symmetrical to fengxian (enshrinement of forebears) hall in the east. this hall was built during the ming dynasty. it is a h-shaped structure consisting of an antechamber and a main building .the hall is surrounded by corridors. in front of the hall is the office of privy council.

before emperor kangxi of qing the dynasty came to power the hall of heavenly purity served as the living quarter of the emperors. emperor yongzheng chose to live in this hall and attended to every day state affairs from here .for the sake of protecting cultural relics, this hall is not open to the public .you can have a look at the inside from the door. the central hall was the audience chamber where the emperor read memorials, granted audience to officials and summoned his minsters for consultation. the western chamber of the hall was where the emperor read reports and discussed military and political affairs. the hall consists of many inner rooms and is decorated with images of buddha and miniature pagodas. on the screen wall there hangs a picture of two emperors in the han costume. in a southern room there three rare calligraphic scrolls, hence the name of the room “sanxitang” (room of three rare treasures) . the room on the eastern side is of historical interst because it was here that empress dowager cixi usurped power and made decisions on behalf of the young emperor . a bamboo curtain was used to separate them .

empress dowage cixi was born in 1835 in lu` an prefecture of shanxi province. she` s of manchurian nationality and her father was a provincial governor from south china. when she was 17 years old ,she was selected to become a concubine of emperor xianfeng and moved into the forbidden city. she gave birth to a son when she was 21years old and was made a concubine the following year. when the emperor passed away in the summer of 1861, her son ascended the throne and title of cixi, meaning “holy mother” was conferred upon her and she became the empress dowager. in that same year empress dowager cixi carried out a count coup d` etat and ruled behind the scenes with another empress dowager, ci` an, for 48 years. she passed away in 1908 at the age of 73. it was in reference to this situation that the term “attending to state affairs behind a bamboo curtain” developed .in 1912 , empress dowager longyu declared the abdication of the last qing emperor puyi. they were allowed to remain in the forbidden city for the next 13 years .the royal family was forced to move out permanently in 1924.

behind the central hall were the living accommodation of 8 successive qing emperors .three of them actually passed away here. the side rooms flanking the hall were reserved for empresses and concubines. now let` s continue with our tour. it will take us to the hall of heavenly purity , the hall of union and peace ,the palace of earthly tranquility, and the imperial garden.

route b

(inside the hall of heavenly purity)

ladies and gentlemen:

we are now entering the inner court. from the gate of heavenly purity northward lies the inner court where the emperors and empresses once lived .the hall of heavenly purity is the central hall of the inner court ,and was completed during the reign of emperor yongle of the ming dynasty. there are 10 pillars supporting the entire structure and the hall is 20 meters in height .in the center of the hall there a throne. above it hangs a plaque with an inscription that reads “be open and above-board,” written by shenzhi,the first emperor of the qing dynasty. beginning with qianlong` s reign, the name of the successor to the throne was not publicly announced .instead, it was written on two pieces of paper, one to be kept on the emperor` s person throughout his reign, and the other placed in a small strongbox that was stored behind his plaque. the box was opened only after the emperor passed away. altogether there where 4 emperors who ascended the throne in this way, namely qianlong, jiaqing, daohuang and xian feng.

the hall of heavenly purity was where the emperors lived during the ming and qing dynasties. according to tradition ,extravagant annual banquets were held here on new year` s eve in honour of royal family members. foreign ambassadors were received here during the late-qing period. two important “one thousand old men` s feasts” of the qing dynasty were also held here. all the invitees had to be at least 65 years of age.

this hall was also used for mourning services.

(inside the palace of union and peace)

this hall sits between the hall of heavenly purity and the palace of earthly tranquility, symbolizing the union of heaven and earth ,as well as national peace .it was first built in 1420 and reconstructed in 1798. the hall is square in shape ,and is smaller than the hall of complete harmony .you will see a plaque here inscribed with two chinese characters, wu wei, which were handwritten by emperor qianglong. a throne sits in the middle of the hall with a screen behind it .above the throne there hangs a caisson ,or covered ceiling. the emperor held birthday celebrations and other major events here.

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

(inside the palace of earthly tranquility)

this used to be the central hall where successive ming empresses lived. during the qing dynasty, it was converted into a place where sacrifices and wedding ceremonies were held .the room on the western side was used for sacrifices and the room on the east was the seeding chamber.

route c

ladies and gentlemen:

you have seen the three main halls of the forbidden city. now i` d like to show you around scenes of interest along the eastern route. the first is the treasure hall. this mansion is called the hall of imperial zenith. this is where sing emperor quailing lived after abdication. nearly 1,000 artifacts and treasures are on display here, among which the golden hair tower is one of the most famous. this tower is 1.53meters in height and its base is 0.53 meters in circumference .it was built under the order of emperor quailing to be used to collect fallen hair in commemoration of his mother. there is also a “day harnessing water jade hill ” on display here. yu was a legendary monarch of the remote ixia dynasty. under his leadership, the people learned how to harness the yellow river. this jade assemblage, 224 centimeters in height and 5 tons in weight, is the largest jade artwork in china. this mat was woven with peeled ivory. these artifacts are among china` s rarest treasures.

(in front of the nine-dragon screen)

this is the nine-dragon relief screen .erected in 1773,it is 3.5 meters in height and 29.4 meters in width. underneath is a foundation made of marble .the surface of the screen is laid with a total of 270 colored, glazed tiles in the design of 9 dragons ,some rocky mountains ,clouds and the sea. it was meant to ward off evil spirits the ancient chinese regarded 9 dragons, some rocky mountains, clouds and the sea. it was meant to ward off evil spirits .the ancient chinese regarded 9 as the largest numeral and the dragon as a auspicious beast .the 9 dragons are different in color and posture and all are made of glazed tiles. interestingly a piece of the third dragon from the left is made of wood. it is believe that when the nine-dragon screen was almost finished ,a piece of glazed tile was damaged .emperor qianlong was scheduled to inspect the work the following day .using quick wits, the craftsman in question molded the missing piece with clay and sailed through the imperial inspection. later ,he asked a carpenter to carve a wooden one to replace the one made of clay.

(approaching the imperial garden)

behind the palace of earthly tranquility and trading the north-south axis is the imperial garden. there are old trees, rare flowers and exotic rock formation in this garden .it cover a space of 11,700 square meters, or roughly 1.7 percent of the forbidden city. most of the structures in the garden are symmetrically arranged . however, each is different in terms of parrern and decoration. woods clumps of bamboo screen off the garden and strengthens its deep and serene atmosphere.

there main structure of the imperial garden is the qin` an hall. positioned in the central-northern part of the garden ,this hall is flanked by other halls and pavilions on the east and west. the hall sits on a marble pedestal. the taoist deity of zhenwu is enshrined here and emperor would pay homage here a quarterly basis. taoist rites were held during the reign of emperor jiajing of the ming dynasty. in front of the hall there is a cypress that is 400 years old .in all there are a dozen such rare trees in the garden, and most of them are cypresses or pines. to the northwest of the hall , there is the yanhui(sustaining sunshine) pavilion and to the northeast there lies the duixiu (accumulated refinement )hill. this hill was built over the foundation of the long- pershed guanhua (admiring flowers) hall of the ming dynasty. it is 14 meters in height and made of al kinds of rocks quarried in jiang su province. at its base stand two nstone lions, each carrying a dragon shooting water 10 meters up into the air from its mouth. there are meandering paths leading to the hilltop. at the top of duixiu hill sits the yujing (imperial viewing)pavilion. traditionally, on the day of the double ninth festival (the ninth day of the ninth lunar month ), the emperor ,his consort, and his concubines would climb up to yujing pavilion to enjoy the scenery.

at the southeastern corner of the garden is jiangxue(crimson snowy) verandah. nearby to the southwest lies yangxing study (study of the cultivation of nature) .the yangxing study was used as a royal library during the reign of emperor qianlong of the qing dynasty. the last emperor of the qing dynasty, puyi once studied english there. in front of the jiangxue verandah some chinese flowering crabapples grow. the structure got its name from the crabapples who blossoms trun from crimson to snowy white. in front of the verandah, there grows a rare flower that was brought from henna province under the order of empress dowager cixi. in the northest is chizao tang (hall of using flowery language), once used as a library where rare books were stored.

there are also specific pavilions symbolizing the four seasons .the halls of wanchun and qianqiu ,representing spring and autumn respectively ,are square in shape and are coupled with multiple eaves and bell-shape and are coupled with multiple eaves and bell-shaped ridges. the halls of chengrui and fubi,dedecated to winter and summer, are characterized by two verandahs and bridges at their bases .paths were paved with colorful pebbles and arranged in 900 different designs.

the imperial garden can be accessed through the qiong yuan (jade garden )west gate or the qiong yuan east gate. a third gate, the shunzhen(obedience and fidelity)gate, opens to the north. its doors are laid in glazed tiles and it was only used by the empress or concubines.

as our tour of the forbidden city draws to a close, i hope that i have helped you understand why the palace is a treasure of china and one of the cultural relics of the world. it is under the strict protection of the chinese government. since 1949 when the people` s rupublic of china was founded, nearly one trillion rmb was spent on its restoration and refurbishment. the forbidden city has undergone four major facelifts to date. each year, the government earmarks a large sum to gather, sort and study cultural relics. the palace now contains a total of 930,000cultural relics. well, so much for today .let` s go to reboard the coach. thank you !

The greenhouse is divided into three exhibition areas: tropical rain forestexhibition area, desert plant exhibition area and orchid exhibition area. Firstof all, we come to the tropical rainforest exhibition area. With a total area of1845 square meters, it is the largest main exhibition area of the wholegreenhouse. There are more than 1500 cultivated species, including Palmaceae,Moraceae, Bromeliaceae, Araceae, Liliaceae, Zingiberaceae, Musaceae, Araliaceae,acanthopanax senticosus, Euphorbiaceae, Begoniaceae and various ferns. The roomsimulates the scenery of tropical rain forest, and it is also dominated bytropical and subtropical plants. According to their different terrain andfunctions, they are planted separately to form a unique ecological landscape oftropical rain forest. Highlighting the primitive jungle atmosphere, palm familyincludes King coconut and old man sunflower (old man sunflower is also calledWashington sunflower, belonging to Washington family of palm family, native toIndia, Malaysia, etc.). Woody plants, evergreen trees, foliage plants, evergreencoconut trees.) For sugar producing plants, people are most familiar withsugarcane in the South and beet in the north. In fact, sugar palm in palmitaceaeis also an expert in sugar production. Sugar palm is produced in tropical Asiaand Africa. It is tall and has large and dense pinnate leaves. Its nectarcontains sugar. After the inflorescence is cut, a large amount of sugar juicecan flow out. The amount of juice of female plant is about 50% more than that ofmale plant. The juice can be used as beverage, fermented wine or concentratedboiling for 5 hours Tropical fruit is the fruit of the heart (fruit of the heartbelongs to mountain olive family fruit of the heart). It is native to Mexico,Central America and Southeast Asia. China is mainly distributed in Hainan,Guangdong, Fujian, Chinese Taiwan, Guangxi, Yunnan and other places. Evergreen trees.Human heart fruit is named because its longitudinal section looks like humanheart. The best taste was 5-7 days after harvest. The milk of bark is gum; theoil content of seed kernel is up to 20%, and the root, skin and leaf can be usedfor medicine.) Mangoes (mangoes belong to the genus mangiferaceae, enjoying thereputation of "king of tropical fruits". Mango is an evergreen tree. Thenutritional value of mango is very high, and the content of vitamin A is as highas 3.8%, which is twice as much as that of apricot. The content of vitamin C isalso higher than that of oranges and strawberries. Mango contains sugar,protein, calcium, phosphorus, iron and other nutrients, which are necessary forhuman body. Its not seasick, its disgusting Because the cross section is likea five pointed star, it is also called "star pear" abroad. It is one of thefamous Lingnan fruits. Oxalaceae, evergreen or semi evergreen trees. It canproduce fluid and quench thirst. It is beneficial to urination, heatdissipation, pain relief and hemostasis. Besides 10% sugar, it is also rich invitamin A and C. Among them, there are waterfalls to welcome visitors, greenwater to appreciate pearls, cave heaven and blessed land, and Maoting path.

You will see this tree is Dracaena, a tropical evergreen tree, for theagave family, Dracaena. Once its bark is cut, it will flow out bright red juice,like the blood of the human body, hence its name. Most of them are distributedin limestone areas with high altitude, up to 20 meters high, belonging to classII national protected plants. The juice of Dracaena Dracaena has very highmedicinal value. It can extract the precious Yunnan red medicine, DracaenaDracaena, also known as Kirins Dracaena, which is as famous as Yunnan Baiyao.It is also the main component of the famous medicine "Qilisan". Li Shizhenpraised it as "the holy medicine of promoting blood circulation" in compendiumof Materia Medica. It has the good effects of promoting blood circulation,removing blood stasis, detumescence, relieving pain, astringency and hemostasis.It can be taken orally and used externally. It is a good treatment It is aspecial medicine for traumatic injury, promoting blood circulation andhemostasis. In 1972, Professor Cai Xitao, a famous botanist and founder ofXishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden, first discovered a large area ofDracaena Dracaena on the limestone mountain in Menglian County, SimaoPrefecture, Yunnan Province. The growth of Dracaena Dracaena is very slow. Itstrunk is less than 1 cm thick in one year, but its life span is the longest inthe plant kingdom, up to 8000 years, so it is called "the longevity of plants"by botanists.

You can see this is a kapok tree, a large deciduous tree of the kapokfamily. It is also called the hero tree because it grows very straight and hasred flowers like blood. The height of the tree is about 10 meters. The tree andits branches are long and hard. It mainly grows in the south of China. It bloomsin March and April every year. Its flower is called kapok. It can be used asmedicinal material and has the function of clearing away heat and dampness. Itis the city flower of Guangzhou. Here it mainly shows the tropical rain

There is a special phenomenon of root plate in forest.

Generally, the roots of plants plunge into the soil to absorb water andnutrients, supply the growth of stems, branches and leaves of aboveground parts,and also play a supporting role in bearing the gravity of aboveground parts. Inorder to better perform the above functions, the roots always develop in depthand breadth. The trees in the middle and upper layers of tropical rainforest aregenerally 30-40 meters in diameter, and their crowns are also very wide. Ifthere is no strong root system as the foundation, these trees will be top heavyand unstable, and will sink or be destroyed by tropical storms. Because thetropical rain forest is in a rainy and humid climate, the water in the soil isalways saturated or nearly saturated in the long rainy season. The roots oftrees are required for "breathing", so they are difficult to penetrate into thedeep soil layer lacking air. Since it is difficult to enter the deep soil and tosupport the aboveground parts, they adopt the strategy of developing to thesurface space. For example, this kapok tree chooses to extend the stem of thetrunk like a wing to all sides to form a plate-shaped root, which is called"plate root", and meandering along the ground to solve the problem of "heavyhead and light foot and shallow root". The wonder of natural creatures lies intheir harmonious relationship with the environment and the survival of thefittest.

Under the kapok tree is the golden bract flower, also known as the goldenbract shrimp clothing flower, Acanthaceae thick ear Acanthopanax is an evergreensubshrub. The bracts are heart-shaped, golden yellow, about 3cm long; theflowers are milky white, lip shaped, about 5cm long, protruding from the bracts.Native to Peru and Mexico. First, the temperature should be appropriate. Thesuitable temperature for its growth is 20 ℃ to 28 ℃. The second is the suitablelight. Third, water should be sufficient. Fourth, the soil should be wellpermeable. Fifthly, fertilizer should be used in the right way.

Walking in the beautiful tropical rain forest, you may suddenly find: aclump of strange emerald green leaves grows on the trunk of a tall tree, bothupward and downward. The top of each leaf splits into two pieces, and each piecesplits into two pieces, and so on. It looks like the horn of a Wapiti. This isthe famous wild ornamental plant, the second level national key protection plant- antler fern. This is the one you can see. It is a perennial evergreenepiphytic herbaceous foliage plant of antler fern family. Although antler ferntakes the tall trees as its home, it does no harm to the trees, because it is anepiphytic plant, not a parasitic plant. It can feed itself only on the foodgiven by air and rain, and does not need to absorb the nutrition of trees. Thefirst discovery of wild antler fern in China is in the primeval forest ofDayingjiang, Yunnan Province. Because antler fern often grows on the knots orbranches of tree trunks, local people also call it "tree clothes".

If you look up at this plant again, it has many broad leaves around theshort stem, forming a basin in the center, so it is named birds Nest Fern. Ifyou also want to plant birds Nest Fern, you should know that it is alsoepiphytic fern, so you cant use ordinary culture soil, but use fern root, barkblock, moss, broken brick mixed with sawdust, coconut bran and so on as pottingsubstrate. At the same time, use the cultivation container with good airpermeability, and fill the bottom of the container with broken wood Brick andother large particle materials, in order to facilitate ventilation row small.Birds Nest Fern can also be planted directly on the false tree or wood section,but it is necessary to spray water frequently to maintain high air humidity.Birds Nest Fern likes warm, humid and semi shade conditions with strongscattered light. It can grow all year round under the condition of hightemperature and humidity. The optimum temperature for its growth is 20-22 ℃. Thetemperature of overwintering in winter is 5. In spring and summer, it isnecessary to water more and spray water on the leaf surface frequently to keepthe leaf surface clean. Generally, 70% - 80% of air humidity is suitable.

But also pay attention to the water in the basin when watering, otherwiseit is easy to rot root and die. In the growing season, the decomposed liquidfertilizer was applied once every two weeks to ensure the plant growth and darkgreen leaves.

Here they mainly show the sky garden phenomenon of tropical rainforest. Inthe dark and humid tropical rainforest, there are many epiphytes, which canskillfully use the tree right and the nutrient growth in the residual birdmanure, litter or dust on the branches. Now birds Nest Fern and antler fern areepiphytic on the rubber tree, hanging high in the air. When the flowers bloom,their flowers seem to bloom in the air, so they form a wonderful sky garden.

Longtuzhu is a woody Liana belonging to Jatropha of Verbenaceae. Longtuzhuis native to tropical Africa. The suitable temperature for its growth is 18 ℃ to24 ℃ and the temperature in winter is not lower than 8 ℃. Longtuzhu is anexcellent potted flower with dark green leaves, peculiar flower shape and red inwhite, just like youlongtuzhu.

Bambusa, also known as Guanyinzhu, is a genus of Bambusa in Palmaceae,which originated in Guangdong, Yunnan and other places in China. It leavesterminal palmate division, culm covered with bract hair, bract hair fall off,there are nodes such as bamboo.

Red back osmanthus, also known as red back osmanthus, Euphorbiaceae,Aquilaria. It is native to Guangdong, Guangxi and Vietnam, and widely cultivatedin South China. Its an evergreen shrub, green on the surface and purplish redon the back. The flowers are unisexual, dioecious, yellow at first, and yellowwhite later. The flowering period is summer and autumn.

Saxifraga is also known as golden lotus. It is a perennial herbaceousfoliage plant belonging to Saxifragaceae. It is produced in China and Japan. Inrecent years, with the popularization and planting of perennial herbs, they canbe planted under the big trees of old green space, used as ground cover, orplanted beside buildings or rocks. It is also a traditional Chinese herbalmedicine in China.

In the green plant kingdom, pteridophytes are a lower class group of higherplants. In the ancient geological period, most of the ferns were tall trees.Later, due to the changes of the continent, most of them were deeply buried andturned into coal. Most of the plants that exist on the earth today are shortherbaceous plants, and only a few woody species have survived. So far, Alsophilaspinulosa is one of them. Alsophila spinulosa, also known as tree fern, is up to8 meters high. Fern family Alsophila. Because it is the only woody pteridophyte,extremely precious, so it is listed as a kind of key protected plant by thestate. This huge fern once spread all over the world in ancient times and wasone of the food of dinosaurs at that time. Todays relict tree species havebecome "living fossils". It has high scientific research value in speciesevolution, climate change, geographical movement and so on. From the appearance,Alsophila spinulosa looks like a coconut tree. Its trunk is cylindrical, uprightand straight. On the top of the tree, there are many large and long pinnatecompound leaves, which are floating in all directions. If its leaves arereversed, many sporangia can be seen on the back. There are many spores in thesporangia. Alsophila spinulosa has no flowers. Of course, it does not bearfruits and seeds. It depends on these spores to reproduce. Alsophila spinulosalikes warm and humid climate. It is distributed in Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan,Tibet, Guangxi, Guangdong, Chinese Taiwan and other places in China. It often growsunder the forest or in the wet and shady places beside the river and valley.Alsophila spinulosa also has many uses. Its stem

Rich in starch, it can be used for food, vases and other utensils. And asmedicine, traditional Chinese medicine is called Feitian Jue, longlongfeng. Ithas small poison, can drive rheumatism, strengthen muscles and bones, clear awayheat and stop cough. Alsophila spinulosa has a beautiful body and is a goodgarden ornamental tree.

Nymphaea is a perennial aquatic herb belonging to Nymphaeaceae, also knownas meridional lotus, water hyacinth, water celery, etc. its leaves are floatingon the water surface, with round shield shaped leaves, green leaves and purpleback leaves. Its flowers have white, red, pink, yellow, blue, purple and othercolors. Its flowering period is from June to August. Each flower can opencontinuously for 4-7 days, and then gradually curl and sink into the water afterwithering. Because of its beautiful flowers and leaves, rich colors and longflowering period, it has always been deeply loved by people. Because water lilyroot can absorb mercury, lead, phenol and other toxic substances in water, it isa rare plant material for water purification, so it has been paid more attentionin the construction of urban water purification, greening and beautification.Most water lilies open near noon and close in the evening. At present, it iscultivated in all provinces in China. The rhizome of water lily can be used forfood or wine making, and can also be used as medicine to treat childrenschronic convulsion. Water lily is divided into tropical water lily, cold zonewater lily two kinds, cold, not cold. Tropical water lily, native to the AmazonRiver Basin, can keep blooming if the temperature is kept at 18 in four seasons.Their differences are as follows:

"A single tree does not make a forest" is an old saying rich in philosophy.However, things in the world are not as monotonous as people think. Although asingle tree is not a vast forest, some trees will create a "forest" spectacle. Asingle tree grows many "tree scholars", forming a forest landscape. The maintrees that create "forest by themselves" are mulberry trees and banyan trees.This is what you see now. It grows rapidly, has a strong plant, has a broadcrown, and its branches and leaves are evergreen all the year round. It iscommonly known as big green tree. You may see that it has a lot of whiskers. Infact, they are called "air rooting". They belong to a kind of adventitious rootsand are a special form of roots of banyan trees. Banyan has a long life span,fast growth and well developed lateral branches and roots. There are many skinholes on the branches, and many aerial roots can grow everywhere, hanging downlike a beard. These aerial roots grow downward and thicken into the soil to formpillar roots, which do not branch or grow leaves. The function of aerial rootingof Ficus microcarpa is the same as other roots, which can absorb water andnutrients. At the same time, it also supports the expanding branches and makesthe crown expand. It stands like a tree trunk between the land and the mainbranches. When the old trees are surrounded by pillar roots of different sizes,the ground occupied by a single tree gives rise to the scene of "becoming aforest". A huge old banyan tree can have more than a thousand pillars. Itscanopy can cover more than 6000 square meters, which is known as "stand aloneforest".

Pandanus is a small tree in the family of pandanus. Its fiber can be usedto make a variety of handicrafts. Fresh flowers contain aromatic oil. Roots,leaves, flowers and fruits are used for medicine. It can cure nephritis, edemaand other inflammatory phlegm. It is mainly distributed in Guangdong, Guangxi,Fujian, Yunnan, Chinese Taiwan and other provinces in China. It is also distributed inother tropical Asia and southern Australia, but mostly in coastal sandy land. Inancient times, Xishuangbanna was a part of the ancient Mediterranean. Due to theHimalayan orogeny in the geological history, the ancient Mediterranean retreatedto the West and experienced "vicissitudes". But who can witness it? The researchresults of geological structure and paleontology bear witness, which isconclusive evidence for science. But these evidences are all "dead" things,which sometimes cannot be explained clearly because of "death without proof".Fortunately, nature has left dozens of plants in Xishuangbanna as livingtestimony because of its "fear", among which the Ludou tree is a very convincingone. After the disappearance of the ancient Mediterranean, it "believed" thatXishuangbanna was a good land, but did not move to the sea with its family.After a long period of training and evolution, it became a member of thetropical rain forest that developed later, and gradually adapted to the acidicsoil, humid and dark forest environment of the tropical rain forest. Moreover,it also changed the habit that it could not grow except by the sea. However, itmay be some of the reasons that "rivers and mountains are easy to change buthabits are difficult to move"

Genetic genes are still working. It needs to grow a lot of aerial roots inthe lower part of the trunk and develop into pillar roots to maintain itsoriginal habit of growing on the beach for "breathing" and supporting the plantson the ground.

Now you are entering the desert exhibition area of succulent plants.Because they have to endure the harsh environment of drought and heat in thedesert, some parts of their bodies have evolved into fat water containers, andsome even their leaves have degenerated into thorns or completely disappeared.Unlike other plants, these plants usually open their stomata when it is cool atnight to release oxygen and absorb carbon dioxide Placed at home, it is anatural "air freshener", which is very beneficial to health.

The famous West Lake is like a brilliant pearl embedded in the beautiful and fertile shores of the East China Sea near the mouth of the Hangzhou Bay. The lake covers an area of 5.6 square kilometers. The view of the West Lake is simply enchanting, which offers many attractions for tourists at home and abroad.

Here exists the Lingyin Monastery, a famous ancient temple in China, in front of which there are Feilai Peak, Cold Spring, Longhong Cave and precious rock cave arts and queer and varied natural caves and gullies.

Spring Dawn at Su Causeway

It’s a 2.8 km. long boulevard cutting across the south-north scenic area, and lined with trees and flowering plants. When Spring comes with crimson peach blossoms and green willows; the scenery is all the more charming. Strolling along the boulevard, one feels as if the West Lake were wakening in dawn mist. Young willows were ethereal, spring breeze so caressing, and birds were chirping in unison.

乌镇英文导游词

in the tranquil little village of wuzhen, the light hangs over the dong shi river in a soft summer pallour, as though the clouds are making a deliberate effort to protect the residents from sunburn. along the river, a select group of day-trippers enjoy a cruise aboard a pole-steered barge. im highly privileged to be visiting the very last of chinas ancient "water towns" to be opened to visitors.

when the authorities opened the 1,300 year old riverine settlement of wuzhen to visitors in early , they were determined to avoid the tacky mix of tourist restaurants and kitsch souvenir shops that has swamped other estuary towns such as zhouzhuang (which also lies in the yangtze river delta). wuzhens old buildings, an architectural symphony of stone, wood and tiles, have been preserved rather than restored, and lovingly maintained rather than tarted up. the result is a place that is a sheer joy to explore on foot.

wuzhen is still a living town, where daily life goes on life goes on as it has for the last thousand or so years. coppersmiths, wood-carver and silk-spinners work at their age-old crafts. bicycle rickshaw drivers exchange stories as they wait for passengers. people cart water, cook meals, and tend their gardens, each flower-plot the size of a postage stamp.

the townsfolk of wuzhen gather in the town square around mid-day - talking, smoking or playing mah-jongg. they seem laidback and contented. most of all, they seem to enjoy observing the passing parade, which provides a constant source of amusement. i started to wonder whether it was the town or the strange foreign visitors like myself that was the main attraction. western visitors are still a rarity here.

wuzhen lies in the far north-east of zhejiang province, about 90 minutes by road from shanghai. the name "water town" is especially apt; besides lying on the grand canal, the settlement is completely encircled by two rivers - the dong shi and a smaller tributary, which meet at a t-junction. no matter where you stand, water provides the backdrop, the raison dêtre of the whole town.

about 250 families used to live in the old quarter of wuzhen. however, following the "restoration" of the town, many townsfolk have been moved out to the "new" wuzhen, an attractively landscaped but otherwise characterless apartment block 15 km down the road towards shanghai. those who remain are mainly the elderly and craftspeople. while i was assured that there is nothing to stop new residents moving into the old town, young people nowadays seem strangely absent.

the old wooden shops of wuzhen look ageless and immovable, as though their timbers have totally defied the ravages of time. at first, one suspects that the custodians of the town have tried to cover up the decomposing processes of nature. but look more closely and you find slow rot setting in around the bases of the doorframes, and splinters breaking away from the lintels. what little restoration has been done is so inconspicuous as to be totally indistinguishable from the original.

all the buildings in wuzhen are in ming or qing dynasty style. one palatial establishment is the "double happiness" marriage shrine. twin hearts are joined in a nouveau-chinese character in gilt upon a flaming crimson background, presumably depicting the inseparability of marriage - perhaps the chinese know something that we westerners dont.

wuzhen also has some unique attractions, including yu liuliangs coin and paper money exhibition. nearby (would you believe) stands a pawnshop museum, as if to prove that usury is universal. (maybe fortunately, wuzhen has the only such establishment ive ever come across). i tried looking for a qing dynasty dvd player in the pawnshop, but was sadly disappointed.

no fewer than eight stone bridges cross the dong shi river, the grandest of them being the fengyuan double bridge. the bridge is separated into two parts by a wooden sluice gate. cyclists carry their bikes across the high arches of the bridges, which are designed to let boats pass underneath without difficulty.

back in the main square, the elders are still hanging out. on the village stage, a performance of peking opera is underway. across the square, a master puppeteer entertains visitors with a shadow-play of the type known in java as wayang kulit. but while the javanese version of shadow puppetry is subtle and refined, the wuzhen style has the protagonists attacking each other with the ferocity of tigers.

whether by accident or design, this town seems to have been dropped into its watery setting by a master town planner from another galaxy. a more perfect location for a settlement would be difficult to find. it is fervently to be hoped that tourism will augment rather than destroy the unique ambiance of wuzhen.

Ladies and gentlemen, now Xiao Li is going to take you to thenext scenic spot, Lijiang ancient city, which is also the most famous scenicspot in Lijiang. Just coming out of the jade clear Yuquan park at the foot ofXiangshan Mountain, we have to follow the Yuquan water flowing from thenorthwest end of the ancient city to the south of the city to the ancient cityof Lijiang, known as "Gusu on the plateau" and "Venice in the East". Here, youwill think that how can Xiao Li exaggerate the name of this plateau town? Infact, it is not exaggerated by Xiao Li at all. The ancient city of Lijiang isdivided into three tributaries, the West River, the middle river and the EastRiver, and then into countless tributaries because of the Yuquan water runningthrough the whole city. There are also many longtans and springs in the city.Taking advantage of this favorable condition, the ancient city has a free layoutof streets and no need for neat network. The main street is next to the river,and the alleys are close to the canals. The clear spring water flows through thestreet and the town, and through the walls and houses. The poetic flavor of"every family flows with water, and every family hangs with Yang" is a trueportrayal of the ancient city. Although it is a small town in Yunnan GuizhouPlateau, it has the characteristics of Jiangnan Water Town.

Lijiang ancient city is also called Dayan town. It is composed of Dayan,Baisha and Shuhe. Dayan ancient city is the representative of them, so peopleoften call it Dayan ancient city or Dayan town. In addition, Dayan ancient cityis located in the center of Lijiang basin. In the southwest corner of theancient city, there stands a writing brush which is similar to Shutian giantpen. Lijiang basin is like a big inkstone made of Jasper. In ancient times,"Yan" and "inkstone" are interlinked, so the ancient city is called Dayan. Wearrived at the ancient city. The most attractive thing at the entrance of thecity should be a pair of waterwheel. Some people say it is a son and motherwaterwheel, while others say it is a lover waterwheel. There used to bewaterwheel in the ancient city, but today it is also used in some remoteplaces.

The ancient city was formed in the late Southern Song Dynasty and has ahistory of more than 800 years. It covers an area of 3.8 square kilometers andhas a permanent population of about 30000. In 1986, it became a nationalhistorical and cultural city. In 1997, it was listed as a world culturalheritage. Lijiang Ancient City has the same characteristics as Suzhou ancientcity, such as "small bridge, flowing water and family". Besides, it also has itslocation, street and house layout, Naxi dwellings and so on There is apattern.

Lijiangs world cultural heritage consists of three parts: Baisha ancienttown, Shuhe ancient town and Dayan ancient town. But for you, the mostattractive thing is Dayan ancient town. There are many entrances to the ancienttown. You follow Xiaoli to enter from the entrance on the right. After you seethe conspicuous waterwheel, on the right is the Zhaobi with President JiangZemins inscription, and there are three rooms and one Zhaobi houses in theancient town Its like you can see one of them. Further to the right is thewater dragon column. The dragon is in charge of water. The civil buildings inthe ancient city are most afraid of fire, but water can overcome fire.Therefore, the water dragon column represents the desire of the people in theancient city to avoid fire. For thousands of years, the people of the ancientcity have taken good care of the ancient city like their own eyes. Please alsotake good care of the ancient city like the people of the ancient city. If youlook at the world cultural heritage logo, the circle represents the earth andnature, the box represents the politeness created by human beings, the circleand the box are connected, representing the harmony between man and nature.Lijiang ancient city is a masterpiece of the harmony between man and nature.These stone carvings on the right can be called Lijiangs "Qingming River map",which is a rich Naxi style painting. At our feet is "bagtu", which was createdby Naxi ancestors according to the theory of five elements. Dongba priests oftenuse it to determine the location and divination.

Xiao Li has told you so much in the ancient city, and you have seen somuch, but he is about to enter the ancient city. How can he not see the gate? Infact, you cant see it. Its also a wonder of Lijiang ancient city, that is, youcant see the city gate or the city wall, because there is no city wall or thecity gate in the ancient city, because the head of Naxi nationalitys surname is"Mu". If the city wall and the city gate are built, it will become "trapped". Sothere is no city wall or the city gate in the ancient city.

Ladies and gentlemen, there must be such a question in mind. There are manyancient cities like this in China. Why is this remote ancient city on theplateau chosen? If you want to get the answer, please follow Xiao Li. A lane, afamily, a careless you stand in a hundred years of history, this feeling, on theroad, in various courtyards, you can feel everywhere. Therefore, this ancientcity is not built for filming or mystery. Its a real and living ancient city.If you look at it, you will feel that its much smoother than the road you justwalked. The stone slabs with five flowers seem to have a lot of gravel in them.However, its a kind of lejiaoyan unique to Lijiang. Its collected from thesurrounding mountains. Because of its colorful colors, the local people call itfive flowers Stone, pedestrian horse tread, after hundreds of years, polishedsmooth and transparent, first-class rain, poetic at your feet, this street iscalled Xinhua street.

On both sides of the street, you can occasionally see couplets of differentcolors pasted on the doors of some peoples houses. Some Naxi people have died,and they all have to commemorate three years. The first year is white coupletwith black characters, the second year is green couplet with black characters,and the third year is couplet pasted. This is the nostalgia of Naxi people fortheir dead relatives. After some forest like pavements, clear river water, smallbridges and weeping willows, it is printed in your eyes, but you dont see itPassing by such a clear river, I can see rows of tables and chairs and bursts ofmusic coming into my ears. This is what the guests call "Foreigner Street".However, the shops on this street are not run by foreigners. The bars there arebookish, rebellious and pure business. Everyone can get what they want. Theconvenient place for people in the city to "recharge" in Lijiang is to find thefeeling in the bar, especially for foreigners. There are friends, there arebridges, water, as long as not drunk, life can find a moment of carefree.

After passing the bar street, you can see a small stone bridge, which iscalled pea bridge because it sold peas there earlier. The small gate building onthe west of the bridge is Kegong square. Kegong square is named in the alleybehind the square. In the Jiaqing period of the Qing Dynasty, there were twobrothers of the Yang family in the alley, and in the Daoguang period, theiryounger brother was elected again. This is a matter of pride for Lijiang people.In order to praise the Yang family and encourage them, the government praisedthem This is a special place.

Standing there, looking to the East, you can see a vast expanse of space.This is the central square of the ancient city, which covers an area of aboutfive mu. There are two main reasons why it is called Sifang street. One reasonis that the shape of the square is very similar to the square seal of themagistrate. The Tusi named it Sifang street, which means "Quan Zhen Sifang".Some people say that the roads there lead to all directions Its a hub of peopleand logistics in all directions, so its called Sifang street. So why is Sifangstreet so famous? If the silk road is another world-famous trade channel in thenorth of China, there is also a trade channel in the south of China called "teahorse ancient road". It is a trade channel for the horses, fur, Tibetan medicineand other specialties in the Tibetan area and Lijiang, as well as tea, silk,jewelry and other commodities in the south. Lijiang ancient city is an importanttown on the tea horse ancient road, and Sifang street is an important town Sinceancient times, Sifang street, a trade center, has been an open-air fair with ahistory of 300 years. It is necessary to realize the mystery of Sifang street.In the early morning, people who get up early begin to buy breakfast, which is ahazy Sifang street. In the afternoon, traders who buy Copper, mountain goods andsnacks form a prosperous market, which is energy Sifang street is full ofvitality; its just dark, when businessmen go home, there are still people andsunshine left after a time of friction. The old people basking in the sun at thebridge head are replaced by children playing, and the bars on both sides showthe oily light of night. This is Sifang Street with makeup. At about two oclockin the morning, Sifang street people go to empty streets, and the alleys areunpredictable, only the sound of flowing water rises and falls Lijiang faces thesky. "Li Jun

There are three major events in Lijiang mens life: building a house,marrying a daughter-in-law, and basking in the sun. Lijiang men have an unusualhobby and a lot of time for planting flowers, raising birds, writing, drawingand playing mahjong. Men are good at all kinds of activities in the hospital. Inaddition, one of their favorite outdoor activities is sitting in. Naxi Women canonly sleep in one day on the first day of the Lunar New Year. From "Pan Ji Mei"to "a nai", the blink of an eye is only two words "industrious". Naxi Women workfrom morning to night, from physical work to small business, from cleaning upthe fields to killing pigs, from sewing clothes to making a fire to cook. Theyare all like Fairies in the world, while men have no time to do so. Naxi peoplehave a large number of Chinese people, which makes people dizzying. It can notbe said that Naxi Women have brought up Naxi culture.

Naxi people are good at learning, which can also be reflected in theresidential buildings in the ancient city. While absorbing the architecturalstyles of Han, Tibetan, Bai and other nationalities, the ancient city dwellingsalso integrate the national architectural culture and aesthetic consciousness,forming many architectural styles with Naxi characteristics, such as three roomsand one screen wall, four in five patio, front and back courtyard, one inseveral courtyard, etc., and forming a strong foundation in the setting ofgatehouse and front porch, patio paving, Liuhe door and its decoration Thecharacteristics of local culture and national culture. If you ask which part ofthe courtyard is the most distinctive, it is the Liuhe gate of the main room andthe window core on the Liuhe gate, which is called "four seasons Bo Gu".Although these are also the results of learning Han, Tibetan, Bai and othernational cultures. But at the moment, there is no other nation like Naxi. Everyfamily must have Liuhe gate and "four seasons Bogu". Look at this six door,which can be installed or removed. Its convenient and flexible. When itsopened, its the door and when its closed, its the window. Usually, only themiddle two doors are opened. If there are many red and white guests at home andit is inconvenient to walk, the six doors can be removed. The window core carvedon the Liuhe gate is called "four seasons Bo Gu". In the composition, famousflowers and different flowers, auspicious birds and auspicious animals, andperfect allusions are used to express the perfect wishes of Naxi people for fourauspicious seasons, happiness and longevity, and for farming and reading theirdescendants. You can see that there are different patterns on the six doors,which are "pines and cranes with spring", "spring" and "longevity", which are"magpies competing for plum", which are "winter" and "joy", which are "Eaglesstanding on chrysanthemums", which are "autumn" and "blessing", which are"egrets in the sky", which are "summer" and "Lu", which are "peacock Magnolia"and "Golden Rooster peony". Please think about it What moral do theyrepresent.

After crossing Wuyi street, you can see many small bridges. At the foot ofthis small stone bridge, you cant help sitting down and having a rest. When yousee the words "centenary square" beside the bridge, its not hard to guess thatthis is centenary square. Just imagine the origin of centenary square. Mostpeople think that centenary square is related to the old people. Thatsright.

Standing on the beach, looking at the blue sea water reflected the cbsi sky, the harmony, mutual set off, a lasting pleasant taste. Wind, waves surging waves one after another beach, imposing manner is very spectacular. In the endless sea, do you think will be bright and broad.

If "dadonghai" is her beauty praise by visitors, that "the ends of the earth" with her magical glamour occupy peoples heart. It does not add any artificial vulture act the role ofing, completely is a primitive natural "map" of the sea. The straight coastline, huge magic stones on the beach, colorful shells, constitute the natural beauty of the "ends of the earth". In a lot of stone, engraved with "tianya" is the most popular and the wording "cape" stones. People often leave JingYing here, also left a good memory.
