Ladies and gentlemen:

Today we are going to visit zhongyang street. this is the downtown area. inorder to better know the street, we are going to walk through it, which takesabout40 minutes. those who do not like walking may keep seated, our coach willgo along another street and stop at the flood control monument. those who cannotwalk that far may take a taxi to the flood control monument. now let6"s get offthe coach, and take a walk on zhongyang street.

Zhongyang street measures1450 meters from jingwei street in the south tothe flood control monument on the riverbank in the north. this is china"slongest walkway. the street was built at the end of the last century. it wasconnected to a wharf at the songhua river. because of the constant transport ofthe goods needed for building the china eastern railway, a shopping center beganto take shape along this street at the turn of the century. harbin at that timewas a semi-colonial city with a foreign population of many thousands. politicsand economy were actually controlled by foreign powers. owing to theconcentration of chinese shops along this street, foreigners took it as a chinatown and called it china street.

Have you noticed the cobbled road surface? this is the only cobbled streetleft in harbin. this cobbled street was paved in1925. thanks to the goodquality, the street has kept in good shape with a few repairs in the past. thisstreet began to take shape as an international street in the1920s. there wereover a hundred shops and many were owned by forergners, such as russians,greeks, czechs, swedes, swiss, frenchmen, germans and englishmen. they builttheir shops in their individual styles. therefore, the street not only lookedlike a foreign street, but also was controlled by foreigners. now this smoothcobbled street may remind us of the past when foreigners were sitting inchariots along the street, as if we could still hear the horse-hoofs clicking oncobbles.

Over half a century is past , zhongyang street is weather-beaten. with theimplementation of reform and opening-up, it is ready to welcome visitors with anew outlook.

The building in front of us is very attractive. its some and arched windowsare typical of the byzantine style popular in europe during the middle ages. itwas built in1934and it was a shoe shop owned by a czech. after liberation, itbecame a specialty shop-women and children"s department store. it is the biggestspecialty shop along zhongyang street. there are a good variety of commodities.now some world famous specialty chains have also set up branches down here, suchas crocodile, bossini and so on. you can see some gentlemen also wandering inthe women and children"s department store. at such a good shopping place, theywill not walk out empty-handed.

Opposite the women and children"s department store is the central shoppingcity opened in november1994. on its original site there were five small storesrun by russians, which were built in1932. after liberation, they were turnedinto one department store. in1994, the old building was torn down, and thiscomprehensive department store was built. the architecture is a combination of aeuropean castle with modern architecture. it has become a new scenic spot onzhongyang street.

At we go along the road, we are able to see the central pharmacy. it was abungalow before. in1912, german sidemen"s opened a shop here to sell electricalequipment and materials. after liberation, it was reconstructed. now you canfind not only Medicine here, but also the gold lion shop, a super-market and akentucky fried chicken restaurant.

This shopping center was opened in1995. its original site was a shopmanaged by a swede. it dealt in china, porcelain and enamelware. afterliberation, it became a food-store. the building you see now was designed by afamous architect in heilongjiang. it is a masterpiece of adopting reliefsculptures in modern construction. this building is an attractive site inzhongyang street.

The nost interesting building along zhongyang street is the modern hotel.it was constructed in1913. it is of an attractive outlook and magnificentlydecorated. it has a typical baroque style of the neo-artistic period. at first,it was invested and managed by a jewish frenchman. the origin of its chinesename once aroused the interest of many people. there was a column in newspaperfor debating its origin. some held its chinese name came from the word "mother",some said it came from "modern". however, modern seemed to overwhelm mother asyou can see the hotel now used the modern hotel as its english name.

Modern hotel has all the facilities of a modern hotel includingwell-decorated suites, dining rooms and medium and small-sized meeting rooms ineuropean palatial styles. there is a legendary oil painting hanging on a wall onthe landing of the first floor. it was painted a famous russian painter. he wasinspired by "divine comedy"composed by dante. it shows a pretty girl saved byangels from confinement by insects and demons;the girl who endured tortures inhell was about to rise to heaven. this picture was painted red during thecultural revolution. after the cultural revolution, the original painting wasrestored. now we are able to appreciate its artistic charm.

In the past few decades, modern hotel has catered to many famous people,such as well known chinese writers guo moruo and ding ling, and a renownedpainter, xu berhong. those who have stayed here also include distinguishedamerican celebrities such as anna louise strong, edgar snow yue-sai kan. moviestudios have shot movies here. "harbin in the dark night", "london inspiration","the orient express to moscow"have left people lasting memories.

Opposite the modern hotel, there is huamei restaurant. it was malserestaurant serving western food. after liberation, it was rebuilt several timesand two more stories have been added. however, its original european style hadbeen kept. it was reported in1973that there were260 western restaurants inharbin, with over100 concentrated along zhongyang street. huamei restaurant wasone of the best known. now it serves many specialties, such as russian dishes,potted cattle tail, french egg and fried prawns. it is said a russian celebritywho used to serve in the army once visited huamei. after dinner, he could nothelp praising delicious food served in huamei. he declared the russian disheshere surpassed those in russia. he would send chefs from russia to huamei tolearn to cook when he got back Home. now that you know huamei, your knowledge ofzhongyang street will not be complete if you have not tried the food here.

Further in the front, we can see the education bookstore. it wasconstructed in1909. it is a baroque construction, extravagant and novel, withbold lines and strong contrast. over the entrance, there are two staturs. theyare titans in greek fairy tales. the male is atlas and the female is galliached.it is said they hold up the sky with heads and shoulders. education relates tothe future of a country. may these titans hold up the building of education, andaccompany us to a prosperous tomorrow.

Opposite to the education bookstore, the building in the neo-artistic styleis qiulin department store. it is characterized by simple structure, flexiblelay out, free style, and curved decoration. qiulin was constructed in1903. inthe past few decades, it has transformed from a colonial company. it haswitnessed great changes in zhongyang street.

Many people say zhongyang street is a street of architecture as over70buildings appear in different styles. some state it is a small paris in theorient; some assert it is a moscow in the orient; some declare it is a symphony.when you step on this cobbled street, it is as if you could hear a prelude. asyou go further along the street, you can see the women and children"s departmentstore, and the flood control monument at the riverside, as if their variedstructures were different chapters constituting a harmonious tune. this symphonyaccompanies the people in harbin as they suffered before liberation, wanderedthrough the cultural revolution, and ushered in the reform and opening up, andencourages them to face up to the magnificent21st century.

Our garden experts said that, the Summer Vacation Mountain Village is the miniature of our beautiful motherland. Why can the experts say like this?

*Introduction:

Chengde Summer Resort is in the northern part of Chengde city, Heibei province. Chengde Imperial Palace also known as the Rehe Place, where Qing emperors spent their summer days and work in, so it was not an imperial summer palace in its usual meaning, but became a important centre next to Beijing.

*Knowledge about the layout:

There are two parts of the resort——the palaces and a scenic area.

The palaces were for emperors to handled political affairs and lived in. The scenic area includes lakes, hills and grassland. There are eight artificial lakes. Emperor kangXi commented the resort as “having the mountains as the bone and water as the heart ”. Emperor QianLong’s remark, “Though it is named as mountain resort, its beauty is in water” highlighted the feature of the resort. Because KangXi and QianLong have toured in south China many times and appreciated a lot of beauties there, so that beauties were like been moved by the emperors into the resort. So this garden has the north and south style in a body.

*Answer of the question:

The natural mountains and rivers built it was copied the landscape from southern Jiangsu and outside Shanhaiguan, there has forests, lakes, grassland and mountains; almost include all kinds of the landscapes of China.

Outside the palaces is the eight outer temples, this temples surrounding the palaces like the star surrounding the Moon, symbolized the national various nationalities closely around the Qing Dynasty’s rule center.

Part two: Great values of the resort.

In our country history:

The Mountain Summer Resort has witnessed the Qing Dynasty’s consolidation and development. Said from its rich history connotation, it is really a national and religious history museum.

*Question: Why Mountain Summer Resort is considered as “intangible Great Wall”?

When the Qing government made Beijing its capital, it paid attention to the relationship with the national minorities in Mongolia, Xinjiang and , and keep a marriage relation with them. It can be seen like this way: the temples around the Mountain Summer Resort were the outcome of the policy of national solidarity and consolidation of the multi-national country.

We know the Ming Dynasty has built Great Wall, but the policy of building the Mountain Summer Resort is more effectual .

From the cultural value:

In the resort, Han Nationality culture and some national minority cultures, both display respective characteristics and absorb from each other. Now Chengde already towards to the world, the culture is not belongs to china also the universe.

It was founded by Yuanhong, EmperorXiaowen, in order to settle Batuo, an Indian monk. Because it is located in thedense forest of Shaoshi mountain, it is called "Shaolin Temple". Bodhidharma,the 28th generation Buddha of Sakyamuni, arrived at Shaolin Temple in the thirdyear of Xiaochang (527 AD) of the Northern Wei Dynasty and spread Zen Buddhismfor the first time, which had a great influence. Therefore, Shaolin Temple iscalled "Zen ancestral court" by the world Buddhism, and develops rapidly on thisbasis. Especially after the thirteen stick monks rescued Li Shimin in the earlyTang Dynasty, Shaolin Temple has been highly valued by the Tang Dynasty and wonthe reputation of "the first temple in the world".

Todays Shaolin Temple is famous not only for its ancient and mysteriousBuddhist culture, but also for its exquisite Shaolin Kung Fu. "Chinese Kung Fuis the best in the world, and the worlds Kung Fu is the best in Shaolin.". Thisis the birthplace of Shaolin martial arts, Shaolin martial arts is alsorecognized as the authentic School of Chinese martial arts.

Shaolin Temple is also one of the famous tourist attractions in China. In20__, Shaolin Temple scenic spot was first recognized as the most advanced 4Atourist area in China by the National Tourism Administration.

Shaolin Temple scenic spots include Shaolin Temple, talin, Chuzu temple,erzu temple, Damo cave, Shifang temple, martial arts hall and other majortourist attractions.

Now the first thing we see is that Shaolin Temple is oftenhospitalized.

Shaolin Temple often hospitalized is the core of Shaolin Temple. It is theplace where monks and deacons conduct Buddhist activities, with a total area ofmore than 30000 square meters. It is a seven entrance building. Now the firstthing we see is:

Shanmen: Shanmen is the gate of Shaolin Temple. It was built in the QingDynasty and renovated in 1975. The word "Shaolin Temple" on the forehead waswritten by Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty. There is a square seal of"treasure of Kangxis imperial pen".

The stone lions on both sides of the steps of the Mountain Gate hall arecarved in the Ming Dynasty, which not only shows the style of Buddhism, but alsosymbolizes the suppression of evil and auspiciousness. On both sides of themountain gate are East and West Stone squares built in the Jiajing period of theMing Dynasty.

You see, the shrine in Shanmen hall is dedicated to Maitreya Buddha, alsoknown as Yingbin Buddha. He is kind-hearted and welcomes you with a smile. Wecall Maitreya Buddha "dignified and solemn Mountain Gate, happy to see the worldshining, laughing and greeting people, blessing endless bliss".

At the back of the niche in the Mountain Gate hall is the Bodhisattva WeiTuo, known as the Dharma protector, who holds a diamond pestle to protect thethree treasures of Buddhism, Buddhism and monks.

We can see that there are many inscriptions on both sides of Shanmencorridor, which are called Shaolin Temple stele forest. These are famousoriginal inscriptions since Tang and Song dynasties. On the east side of thestele forest is the former site of Ciyun hall, which is now the stele corridorof Shaolin Temple. It not only records the rise and fall of the temple, but alsohas high research value in history, sculpture and art. There are 108 steleinscriptions in the stele forest and stele corridor of Shaolin Temple.

The western part of the tablet forest is the hammer spectrum hall, whichhas 42 corridors in one week. It shows the origin, development, practice, eliteroutine, national defense function, monks and soldiers, martial arts activitiesand so on by using clay sculpture and wood carvings, etc., displaying 14 sets of216 hammer images in Shaolin Temple. There are meditation, running around theBuddha, Baduanjin, xiaohongquan, dahongquan, liuhequan, tongbangquan,luohanquan, zhaoyangquan, practicing basic skills, thirteen stick monk rescuingthe king of Qin, Xiaoshan monk going out to battle, master yuekong pingwokou andlaity disciples practicing martial arts. As the saying goes: five minutes in thehammer music hall, you can practice Shaolin Kung Fu by comparing thesestatues.

Tianwang hall is the second building we see now. The original building ofTianwang hall was burned by Shi Yousan in 1928. It was rebuilt in 1982. The twogreat vajras outside the hall are said to be "hum" and "ha" generals, whose dutyis to protect Buddhism. Inside the hall are the four heavenly kings, also knownas the four vajras. Their duty is to inspect the good and evil behaviors of allliving beings, help the poor and help the poor, and bless the world. Accordingto the combination characteristics of the four heavenly kings, it means "goodweather".

Daxiong hall is the central building of the whole temple and an importantplace for monks to carry out Buddhist activities. Like Tianwang hall, it wasburned by warlord Shi Yousan in 1928. It was rebuilt in 1985. The hall is a fiveroom wide double eaves Xieshan style building. In the center of the hall is thepresent Buddha Sakyamuni Buddha, on the left is the past Buddha, the pharmacistBuddha in the Oriental pure glass world, and on the right is the future Buddha,Amitabha Buddha in the Western Paradise. On the East and West gables of the hallis the eighteen Arhats, and on the back wall of the screen wall is theAvalokitesvara. The difference between the main hall of Shaolin Temple and themain hall of other temples is that there are standing statues on the left andright of the third Buddha and the king jinnaro, known as the founder ofShaolins cudgel art. In addition, there are two pillars in the middle of thehall, and there are Unicorn statues under them, which indicates that ZenBuddhism is a completely sinicized Chinese Buddhism.

The buildings on both sides of the main hall are the second floor of thebell and drum, the bell tower in the southeast and the drum tower in thesouthwest. The original buildings were destroyed in 1928 and rebuilt in 1994.They are the fixed buildings of the temple. We often say "morning bell andevening drum" is a signal for monks to live and carry out Buddhistactivities.

In front of the bell tower, this tablet is called "emperor Songyue ShaolinTemple tablet", commonly known as "Li Shimin tablet", which was carved in the16th year of Kaiyuan (728 AD) of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty. On the front,Li Shimins message to the master of Shaolin Temple and others praises Shaolinmonks for their contribution to the Tang Dynastys pacification of WangShichong. In the fifth line from the right, Li Shimins initialed word "Shimin"is inscribed on the tablet. The seven characters "emperors imperial script" arethe imperial script of Emperor Xuanzong Li Longji of Tang Dynasty. Theinscription on the back is Li Shimins inscription on the imperial script ofbaiguzhuang in Shaolin Temple, which records the story of thirteen stick monkssaving the king of Qin. It is also the historical basis for the film ShaolinTemple.

To the north of Li Shimins stele is Xiaoshan Zen master Xingshi stele,which records the experience of the 24th generation Zen master of Cao Dongzongin Shaolin Temple and the merits of reviving Shaolin Zen. On the back of thestele is the tuzan stele of the three religions of Hunyuan, on which is engravedthe image of the three religions of Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism. Thisstele reflects that Songshan is a place where the three religions of Buddhism,Taoism and Confucianism gather together, and embodies the important idea of thethree religions merging. Further north, we can see the Qianlong imperial stelecarved in 1750. The inscription on the tablet is a five character poem: to seeZhongyue tomorrow, to stay in Shaolin tonight, to be quiet in the heartaccording to the six Chan, to be deep in the mountains, to be quiet in theancient trees, to be overcast in the night, to be taught half rock rain, and tosing from my window at night.

On the east side of the main hall is jinnaro hall, which was rebuilt in1982. Jinnaro king is the unique Dharma protector of Shaolin Temple. It showsthe three different images of King jinnaro: the body of Bao, the body of Dharmaand the body of Ying.

On the west side of Daxiong hall, opposite to jinnaro hall, is liuzu hall.It was rebuilt in 1982. On the front side of the hall are Bodhisattva dashizhi,Manjusri, Guanyin, Puxian and dizang. On the two sides are Bodhisattva Dharma,Huike, can, Daoxin, Hongren and Huineng, the first ancestor of Zen. They arecalled the sixth ancestor worshipping Guanyin. On the west wall of liuzutang isa large-scale painted sculpture "Dharma walking only in the west".

The Sutra Pavilion, also known as Fatang, was built in the Ming Dynasty. Itwas destroyed in 1928 and rebuilt in 1994. It is the place for monks to collectsutras. It is a white jade Buddha statue presented by a Burmese disciple ofShaolin Temple in 1996. There is a big iron pot under the platform of the SutraPavilion, which was cast in the Wanli year of the Ming Dynasty. It is said thatit was a small pot used by Shaolin monks to fry vegetables at that time. Fromthis pot, we can imagine the prosperity and prosperity of Shaolin Temple at thattime.

The East and West chambers of the Sutra pavilion are the East Chan hall andthe West Hakka hall respectively. The East Chan hall is a place for monks tomeditate, while the West Hakka hall is now a place for guests.

The Abbots room is the place where the abbot monk (the abbot) of ShaolinTemple lives, lives and administers. On September 29th, the 15th year ofQianlong, Qianlong stayed here when he visited Mount Song. The bell on the eastside of the door of the Abbots room was cast in the Yuan Dynasty. It can onlybe struck in case of emergency to give an alarm.

Damo Pavilion is also called Lixue Pavilion. Inside the shrine, there arebronze seated statues of Dharma, on both sides of which are Huike, sengcan,Daoxin and Hongren. The word "snow print heart pearl" hanging in the hall is thetitle of Emperor Qianlong. There is another touching story about Damo Pavilion.According to Buddhist classics, after Dharma came to Shaolin Temple, a Chinesemonk named Shengguang followed him. He humbly asked Dharma for advice, but wasrefused by Dharma. Shengguang was not disheartened. Dharma went to the cave tomeditate on the wall. After that, Dharma went back to the temple to take care ofBuddhism, and the light followed him. The light took good care of Dharma. Everymove of Zen master, heart happy oral, so day after day, year after year. Onenight in the winter of 536 ad, Dharma was meditating in Dharma Pavilion, and thedivine light was still standing outside the pavilion. At this time, there washeavy snow in the sky, and the snow covered the divine lights knees. The divinelight still put his hands together and did not move. The next morning, whenDharma opened, he saw the divine light standing in the snow and asked him, "whatare you doing in the snow?" The divine light replied, "please teach me the truedharma." "Dharma said:" I want to pass the Dharma to you, unless Tianlong redsnow

Shenguang took out the sword and cut off his left arm. The blood suddenlyturned red and snow white. Dharma was moved. So he passed the Almighty weapon toShenguang as the evidence of spreading the Dharma, and named it "Huike". This isthe origin of the idiom story of "true story of the alms". The story of "seekingthe Dharma by breaking ones arm" has also been recited by Zen scholars. At thesame time, in memory of Huike, the second patriarch, who broke his arm to getBuddhist dharma, people also called "Dharma Pavilion" as "Lixue Pavilion".

On the east side of Dharma Pavilion is Manjusri hall, in which ManjusriBodhisattva is worshipped. Please follow me to visit the highest Hall of ShaolinTemple, which is also the most precious hall.

Thousand Buddha Hall thousand Buddha Hall is the last building of Shaolintemple built in the Ming Dynasty, also known as Pilu Pavilion. The hall is morethan 20 meters high and covers an area of more than 300 square meters. It is thelargest Buddha Hall in the temple. The shrine in the hall is dedicated to PiluBuddha (the Dharma body of Sakyamuni Buddha). The plaque of "Fa Yin Gao ti"hanging on the shrine is the imperial book of Emperor Qianlong of the QingDynasty. On the East, northwest and three walls of the hall are the inscriptionsof the Ming Dynasty The 500 large-scale color paintings of Pilu in the LuohanDynasty are made by unknown painters in the Ming Dynasty. They are exquisite inpainting, bold in design and of high artistic research value. We can see fromthe ground that there are four rows of 48 stake pits on the bottom of the brickpavement in the hall. They are the footpits where Shaolin monks practiced boxingand martial arts over the years. From these footpits, we can see that ShaolinKung Fu is extraordinary.

To the east of thousand Buddha Hall is Guanyin hall, also known as hammerspectrum hall. In the hall is dedicated to the great master in white, namelyGuanyin Bodhisattva. On the wall of the hall is the boxing Manual of ShaolinTemple drawn in the middle and late Qing Dynasty.

On the west side of the thousand Buddha Hall is the dizang hall, and in themiddle of the hall is the dizang king. On the south side of the dizang king isthe defense elder, and on the north side is the Daoming monk. On the north andsouth walls of the hall are the "ten halls of Yan Jun", and on the west wall arethe "twenty four filial piety pictures".

The scenic spot we are going to visit today is the ancient culture street.The ancient culture street is a street with Tianjin local characteristicscentered on the Tianhou palace. It is located in gongnangong North Street,Nankai District. In 1985, it was reorganized by the municipal government torestore its traditional style and named "Ancient Culture Street". The ancientculture street is different from the general commercial street. It gathers allkinds of handicrafts and cultural goods from all over Tianjin and even the wholecountry. Among them, the willow youth paintings, clay figurine Zhang Caisu andkite Weis kites are most famous at home and abroad. The whole street is full ofstrong Chinese flavor, Tianjin flavor, ancient flavor and cultural flavor. Sowhat about the ancient culture street? Lets make an evaluation after visitingit in person.

Well, we have come to the parking lot of the scenic spot. Please rememberthat our car is a white golden dragon, and the license plate is Jin a2345. At 4pm, the car will be waiting for you in Gongbei street. I hope you wont be late.Please lock the window. Please take your valuables with you. OK, please getoff.

The first thing that catches our eyes is a tall and majestic pailou withgold colored painting and green top Zhuying. The color painting on it is calledxuanzi color painting, with the words "hometown of Jinmen" written on it. Itdefinitely points out that the area near the ancient culture street was asettlement 800 years ago, where the Jin people who ruled the North establishedZhigu village, the most important prison of Tianjin city. Todays Tianjin isformed by the gradual development of this area as the original central area. Ithas always been a prosperous commercial area in Tianjin for six or seven hundredyears, which has played an immeasurable role in the development of Tianjin. Itis well deserved to be called the hometown of Tianjin.

Well, please follow me into this street. Youve noticed that many shops inthis street do not have colorful paintings under the eaves and in the rooms.These are Kaiguang Qing style Su paintings, most of which are character stories.Lets take a look at the color paintings of you Fangjian in Jizhen. On them areeight paintings in the romance of the Three Kingdoms, including "three marriagesin Taoyuan", "three heroes fighting Lu Bu in Hulao pass", "Lu Bu playing DiaoChan in Fengyi Pavilion" and "refusing Cao in Dangyang". From the perspective ofWestern Shu, they mainly depict the heroic stories of Liu Bei, Guan Yu and ZhangFei. We are looking at the Fangjian of Liyuan Pavilion opposite. The painting onit is the classic opera Xixiang Ji, which describes the love story between CuiYingYing and Zhang Junrui.

Well, now lets turn around and have a look. There are two tall flagpolesin front of the gate of tianhuangong mountain. They stick straight into Yunxiao,which is particularly eye-catching. This flagpole is 26 meters high. Theflagpole is made of several pieces of copper and iron rough wood. The outerlayer is wrapped with hemp plaster, and then coated with paint. It is solidthrough winter and summer. It is said that when the flagpole was first erected,on the one hand, it hung lights to guide the boats going to and fromsanchahekou, on the other hand, it served as a foil for Tianhou palace, makingthe whole building complex appear to be in an extraordinary state. Later, it wasspecially used to hang the long flag of Empress Dowagers title during thepilgrimage on the 1st and 15th day of each lunar month and during the templefair.

Please go on. Now we are looking at the main building of Tianhou palace.Tianjin local folk known as "empress", so the empress palace is also known asempress palace. It was first built in the Yuan Dynasty, and was rebuilt andreinforced many times in later dynasties. As we all know, most temples in Chinaface south from north, but the temple of heaven after heaven faces west fromEast. Why? Because the Sancha River in Jinmen is a necessary place for watertransport, which is not only the starting point of river transport, but also theterminal point of sea transport, and becomes a transit station for river seatransport. In order to satisfy the spiritual sustenance of the boat people,merchants and government officials in the water transportation and pray for theprotection of the God of the sea, the temple of heaven was built on the WestBank of the Haihe River. The temple gate faces east, faces the Haihe River, andships from south to North anchor and burn incense in the temple. Some shipscant reach the shore because they dont have time or for some reason. Boatpeople and merchants can also worship the queen on board and pray for peace. Inthis way, it not only met the requirements of the folk worship of the believerswho could not land, but also complied with the busy shipping demand at thattime, and met the requirements of the folk worship of the believers who couldnot land.

What we see now is the mountain gate, which is a mixed structure of brickand wood. There are three gates with a green tile roof on Jiuji Xieshan. Themiddle is a circular arch, which means "the sky is round" in ancient times, andthe two sides are rectangular gates. On the forehead of the gate is engravedwith the four characters of "Chijian Tianhou Palace", and in the middle arch isa plaque of "protect Sanjin". There was no such gate when the temple was firstbuilt. It was built in the 14th year of Qianlong.

You follow me in and face a wooden archway with two columns and one floor.On the left and right sides are the drum tower and the bell tower. Walkingthrough the archway, we can see the front hall in front of us. In the middle ofthe hall, there are worshippers of the Dharma God King, and on both sides are"Qianliyan", "shunfenger" and "Jiaxie" and "Jiashan".

松原查干湖风景区 各位游客朋友们，大家好!

欢迎您来到查干湖旅游。

查于湖在蒙语中为“查干淖尔”，意为白色圣洁的湖。查干湖东南距松原市区42千米，南北长37千米，东西宽17千米，水域总面积大约420平方千米，是全国10大淡水湖之一。蓄水量约7亿立方米，是吉林省最大的内陆湖泊，现为国家aaaa级旅游景区、国家水利风景区、国家级自然保护区，也是吉林省著名的渔业生产基地、苇业生产基地和天然旅游胜地。

“塞北圣湖，帝王昔日猎巡地;关东新府，蒙汉今朝鱼米乡。”查干湖自然资源十分丰富，盛产鲤鱼、鲢鱼、鲫鱼、武昌鱼等15科68种鱼类，年产鲜鱼6000多吨。其中“查干湖胖头鱼”经国家绿色食品认证中心认证为2a级绿色食品、有机食品，远销省内外。

近几年，查干湖的虾类、珍珠类等水产资源也得到有效的开发，查干湖四季分明的地理位置，水草肥美的自然资源，为野生、水生动物提供了良好的生存环境，使查干湖又成为野生动物的天堂、鸟类的乐园。这里有狐、(兔)、獾等野生动物20多种，有国家一级重点保护的白头鹤、东方白鹳、丹顶鹤、中华秋沙鸭等8种。国家二级重点保护的白天鹅、黑脸琵鹭等35种。共计239种鸟类和400多种动植物。其野生动物种类之多，密度之大，是省内外许多旅游景区都无法比拟的。

辽代自圣宗起，直至天祚帝，每年都要带领群臣嫔妃，千里迢迢从京城来到查干湖巡幸、春猎。他们在湖面凿冰捕鱼，用皇帝亲自钓上来的“头鱼”在岸边大摆“头鱼宴”，因为初春的湖鱼最鲜、最肥、最香。当春风吹绿郭尔罗斯草原的时候，查干湖畔大雁鸣、天鹅叫、百鸟争鸣。此时的帝王们又开始放鹰搭箭捕捉天鹅、大雁，辽帝亲自放飞的“海东青”捕来的头鹅被用来举行“头鹅宴”，君臣们在湖畔歌舞狂欢，饮酒作乐，直至春尽方还。由此可以想象当年查干湖那种恢宏壮观的场面。

查干湖冰下捕鱼单网曾打过21万千克的“红网”，开创并刷新了原始捕捞方式单网捕鱼量最多的吉尼斯世界纪录。与这种劳作方式一并延续下来的查干湖祭祀仪式——“祭湖醒网”，更是古老神奇、引人人胜，被称为“查干淖尔冬捕习俗”，已列入国家级第二批非物质文化遗产保护名录，在吉林八景评选中，“冰腾湖鱼”的名字更反映了冬捕时的盛况。

查干湖有记载的捕鱼祭祀活动要从早期的契丹人说起。以渔猎为生的契丹人信奉萨满教，认为渔网上附着有神灵，非捕鱼期渔网入仓后已经沉睡多时，捕鱼前需要“唤醒”。“醒网”祭祀的主要目的，是祈求捕鱼顺畅、安全、丰产。这种原始古老的捕鱼方式，慢慢形成独特的渔猎文化，是查干湖冬季旅游品牌和名片的精髓，也使“最后的渔猎部落”的查干淖尔渔猎文化完整地保存下来。

改革开放的浩荡春风，使查干湖这颗塞北明珠更加璀璨夺目。今日的查干湖旅游度假区，景观小品星罗棋布，亭、阁、廊、雕相映成趣;妙因寺香烟缭绕、暮鼓晨钟;鸿鹄楼雕梁画栋、祥云缥缈;成吉思汗召让您领略到郭尔罗斯历史的源远流长、民族文化及自然资源的丰富多样;漫步在沿湖路、查干淖尔文化广场，使人仿佛置身于江南水乡;具有浓郁民族风情的度假村、民俗村与小桥流水相映生辉。

Friends：

Now we come to Shanghai Huangpu River bank Bund， first， I tour to everybody visit Bund to express the welcome， and wishes in advance each traveling to be happy.

New Bund altogether has five traveling routes， nearby yours left hand is by the reputation is Wan Guo constructs reads extensively the magnificent architectural complex and spacious Zhongshan Road， nearby your right hand is the wave light clear Huangpu River as well as the future resembles the brocade the Pudong land to embellish the financial trade area， at present for is novel uniquely goes sightseeing the tour area. This architectural complex， Zhongshan Road， go sightseeing the area， the Huangpu River， Lu Jiazui in the as if music five spectra， the industrious Shanghai people seem between the string string the symbol， is composing most newly the most gorgeous music movement， is welcome fellow guests presence.

The powder can call Bund? Simple saying， it passed once was the desolate beach place which outside the Shanghai old city the reed grew thickly together.

In 1840 after first Opium War， the tight lock entrance to a country has been driven out by the colonizing ocean artillery， Shanghai also is compelled to ward off for the commercial port. Since then， all kinds of west foreign style construction hastens to ground along with colonizing but towers in abundance， to this century the beginning of 30s， Shanghai as soon as leapt into the far east biggest metropolis from seashore small Yi.

At present these have the Europe Renaissance time style the construction， although stems from hand of the identical design， also is not constructs at an age， but their construction style is such harmonious unification， the day becomes. From Jinling east road Bund to outside white temporary bridge long only 1.5 kilometer arcs in，height scattered about， is standing erect row after row 52 styles each different construction， has England -like， France -like， ancient Greece -like and so on. Same year many foreign banks， the general meeting， the consulate and so on converged to this， some East Wall Street the name， formed the old Shanghai semicolonial and semifeudal society a historical miniature.

Everybody please looked that， the new Bund 2 east winds hotels， in the past once were the English general meetings which extremely is well-known， it is a model English ancient canonical expression constructs. The building high has 6 (continually basement)， the roof north and south beginnings and ends respectively suppose □t look pavilion， the interior decoration are extremely magnificent. Inside a yet higher goal bar same year once because of has 110.7 foot Eastern longest bar cabinet but to be arrogant for a while， now USS Kentuckey quick dining room is located in.

New Bund 12 before are famous the Hongkong and Shanghai Bank， this building constructed in 1923， was in the style of antiquity Greece -like dome construction. The building for approaches the square the rectangular construction， high 5， a crown hemispheroid level goes against the vegetable to have 7 in addition， the steel portal frame construction. In the building decorates extremely is fastidious， is equipped with country each kind of reception room and so on America， England and France， Russia， date. This place constructed the English once to brag for from The Suez Canal to far east Bering Strait most was fastidious construction.

Nearby close neighbor Hongkong and Shanghai Bank that building is the Shanghai customs building， is 19th century restores the old the principle construction， constructed in 1927， is now the world institute rarely is ominous. Above the building bell all around worthy of looking at arrives is in luck， each 15 minutes play sound section of short tunes， melodious are deep， reputation 10 miles.

After the Hongkong and Shanghai Bank building and the customs building all stem from English designer Wilson， Shanghai kindly called they are the sisters building， at present was still one of Shanghais important symbols.

East Nanjing the street intersection two buildings are called the peaceful hotel. Sat north the Southern Dynasty this Lou Jianyu in 1906， at that time the name collected the hotel， was a Shanghai extant earliest hotel. It may take a historical construction， is the English Chinese world renaissance. This building most major characteristic is sets up the surface color red brick to make the waist line， Bai Qiangzhuan makes the cover， looks by far both gravely is elegant， and other style， the reality is a rare excellent work.

Bunds these constructions， all are the China working people industrious wisdom crystallization， simultaneously has also reflected western colonizing to Shanghais plundering and the aggression. Now in order to let the people understand these constructions the history， in front of each big front door hangs has the data plate which the Chinese and English compares.

Regarding Bund， the Shanghai person also passes for hers name along with the time changes. Shanghai persons is called old Bund， after the liberation liberation before Bund to be called as Bund， now the people approve her are new Bund. In the history occurs has seized Bund many times the scene， but each time all has the completely different historical significance. Since partys 11 sessions of three CCP plenary conferences， the China reform and open policy strategic center of gravity also from the south but north， Pudongs development and the promotion enable Shanghai to walk the nation reform and open policy most front. The spring breeze blew awakes the deep sleep many year Shanghai Bund， the Chinese and foreign financial organ in abundance has also seized Bund. Shanghai has made the clear nest directs the phoenix the significant action， the Bund finance street house big replacement， will attract everywhere the old customer reto come to settle down， again will reveal the far east Wall Street elegant demeanour.

Bund is Shanghais symbol， also is the Chinese and foreign tourists must arrive place. But in before because the path narrow， the pedestrian vehicles are packed like sardines， seriously has affected the Bund overall image. For the change place beach appearance， the Shanghai peoples government performs Bund as the key point to transform. At present this street called， also is Bund which Zhongshan a group， is for commemorate pioneer Mr. Sun Yat-Sen which China democratic revolution names synthesizes the transformation a part. This group span 826 meters， the width 45 meters， suppose 6 to 10 traffic lanes. This broad line of communication not merely is restricted in area Bund， it follows the reform and open policy step unceasingly to extend， north the Jiangwan five jiao fields， south arrive at the Nampo bridge. To the next the beginning of century， this north and south corridor long amounts to 15 kilometers， will become the sign landscape which the Shanghai traveling will go sightseeing.

We now walk this Bin Jiang main road quite has the characteristic. It not only collection culture， afforestation to a body， moreover the morning is the people practices the good place which the article practices martial arts，daytime is domestic and foreign goes sightseeing the tour world， evening is the ideal place which talks love to the lover， heard has many foreign friends all in admiration of somebodys fame to come to experience the life.

Fellow guests， stroll in new Bund to go sightseeing the area， whether you do feel， new Bund not only appearance changed beyond recognition， moreover in lively is lively passes the rich artistic breath. Everybody please looked that， In the Yenan east road Bund establishment subject will be for tomorrow the artistic landscape，will hug by 6 columns， with will have more than 80 years historical meteorological signal to become a group to the scenery. The customs building and the electronic waterfall clock also is quite has the fresh idea to the scenery. The electronic waterfall clock assumes the steps and ladders type， the length 27 meters， the height 3.5 meters， supposes 10 entire stairs. The entire operating process by the computer control， approximately some more than 1，000 nozzles water column is composed each kind of color the Arabic numeral， causes world each place since such remoteness， double is how being intimate with. Went sightseeing the area worthily to become to hold hundred Sichuan， is compatible Shanghai school characteristic culture scenery line which and gathered.

Strolls Bund， we unconsciously entered the Whangpoo River park. In mentioned this park， each Chinese all could not forget the former days foreign country big powers to hang the Chinese people and the dog did not have to enter in park entrance that block the sign， that notorious sign， let then Chinese people suffer the enormous shame! Now， looked at present that 60 meter high Shanghai people outstandingly talented monument， stands erect is facing the water place. The military might magnificent sight three columns yellow hillocks body in has told the people as if， the people forever cherishes the memory of since the Opium War， 54 movements and the war of liberation， is the scrubbing nationality shame， devotes the heroes for Shanghais revolutionary business.

The Whangpoo River park faces is well-known everywhere Huangpu River. On month Huanglong waters edge water yellow， extremely vividly described the Whangpoo River river water color. Improves Pujiang is Shanghais mother river， it originates to the Wuxi Tai Lake， is within the boundaries of Shanghai longest， is widest， deepest rivers， the span 114 kilometers; The mean breadth 400 meters， are deep 7 to 9 meters. Its original name calls Dong Jiang， also has the spring Shenjiang river， alternate name and so on Huang Xiejiang. Hands down before more than 2，000 years， Shanghai was Chu at that time， at that time Chu country has a senior general yellow to call to rest， he had very much rules a nation ability， is appointed by Chu king as prime minister， and sealed for presents Mr. Shen， had jurisdiction over Shanghai this land. At that time because upstream Dong Jiangs clogged with silt， he led the Shanghai people to carry on scours， and revised the route， caused Shanghai the aquatic transportation and the agriculture obtains the very big development， the posterity for commemorate Huang Xie the merit， renamed Dong Jiang as the spring Shenjiang river and yellow ， only then officially chose a name until the Southern Song Dynasty time as the Huangpu River.

The Huangpu River has two the child， calls Pudong， another calls Puxi. Before new China is born， their whole family deeply three mountains oppressions， on the mother river body is anchoring is the outside warship and the merchantman， two children also are pressed have not gasped for breath. Jumps Whangpoo River my sentence Shanghai persons pet phrase， refers to the common people which the old society really is unable to live，throws the river to here to commit suicide.

Looks out into the distance the opposite shore， Pudong Lu Jiazui the finance trade area and Puxi Bund distantly faces one another， its function for the finance， the trade and foreign serves， it will be the new Shanghais core and the symbol. East Bund the Bin Jiang main road， the total length 2，500 meters， the collection traveling， go sightseeing with the entertainment and so on are a body， is equipped with 6 multi-faceted squares along the road. Although the present only rumble cuts in line the sound， but the sound sound ， is in five spectra the most magnificent music movement， will be forecasting a Bund more glorious future.

大明寺位于扬州瘦西湖西北角的蜀冈中峰上，因始建于南朝宋孝武帝大明年间(公元457-464年)而得名，现在看到的寺是清同治年间建的。唐代名僧鉴真东渡日本前，即在大明寺传经授戒，该寺因此出名。

整个大明寺分三个部分，中部是主体寺庙建筑，东部是栖灵塔，西部是园林式的后花园——西园。按中部-东部-西部的顺序即可游览全大明寺。

沿着舒缓的台阶爬上山——山不高，海拔才28米，即来到大明寺的正门。山路两边有很多出售香火的小贩，不要买，外面的香是不准带入寺内的。请香在寺内，60元起，比较贵，你可以不烧香只拜一拜。

景区中部的主体寺庙建筑沿南北走向分三路。中轴线上从南到北依次是牌楼、同时扮演着天王殿角色的山门、大雄宝殿。西路上主要看欧阳修，南边是欧阳修任扬州太守时建的平山堂，后来苏东坡任扬州太守时，为纪念欧阳修在平山堂后建造了谷林堂，北边是欧阳祠。东路南边是方丈室平远楼，北边是鉴真纪念堂，鉴真纪念堂东还有藏经楼。

其中鉴真纪念堂是大明寺最重要的建筑。鉴真曾六次东渡，为日本带去了中国的佛教与文化，在日本奈良主持建造唐招提寺并最终圆寂于此寺，鉴真纪念堂于20世纪6、70年代建造时即模仿唐招提寺的样子。纪念堂前碑亭里立着刻有郭沫若题写的“唐鉴真大和尚纪念碑”汉白玉碑。院子的正当中有一个石灯笼，为日本唐招提寺长老所送，与唐招提寺中的另一个石灯笼是一对。纪念堂内供奉着楠木做的鉴真坐像，仿唐招提寺里鉴真像，是他圆寂时的模样。纪念堂对面原来的晴空阁现为鉴真史料馆，可以从图文介绍中了解到鉴真的事迹。

景区东部的栖灵塔，原是隋朝皇帝杨坚为庆贺生日而建，现在看到的塔是按照隋朝的塔复原重建的。塔高9层，里面供奉着舍利子和一尊楠木佛塔。爬到塔顶则可俯看整个大明寺，远眺瘦西湖与扬州城景色。栖灵塔的东、西两侧分别为钟楼和鼓楼，塔北的卧佛殿能看到来自缅甸的玉佛。

景区西部的后花园西园，因与乾隆下江南有关，又叫御园，园中和所有江南园林一样，假山、亭台楼阁林立，正中一片湖水是放生池。湖东有乾隆御碑亭，立着三块乾隆御碑。湖中有天下第五泉，这个“第五”是唐代《煎茶水记》的作者张又新评的。乾隆御碑往南走一点，即能看到“第五泉”石碑和一口古井。

北京长城英文导游词

The Great Wall, like the Pyramids of Egypt, the Taj Mahal(1) in India and the Hanging Garden of Babylon(2), is one of the great wonders of the world. Starting out in the east on the banks of the Yalu River in Liaoning Province, the Wall stretches westwards for 12,700 kilometers to Jiayuguan in the Gobi desert, thus known as the Ten Thousand Li Wall in China. The Wall climbs up and down, twists and turns along the ridges of the Yanshan and Yinshan Mountain Chains through five provinces-Liaoning, Hebei, Shanxi, Shaanxi, and Gansu--and two autonomous regions--Ningxia and Inner Mongolia, binding the northern China together.

Historical records trace the construction of the origin of the Wall to defensive fortification back to the year 656 B.C. during the reign of King Cheng of the States of Chu. Its construction continued throughout the Warring States period in the fifth Century B.C. when ducal states Yan, Zhao, Wei, and Qin were frequently plundered by the nomadic peoples living north of the Yinshan and Yanshan mountain ranges. Walls, then, were built separately by these ducal states to ward off such harassments. Later in 221 B.C., when Qin conquered the other states and unified China, Emperor Qinshihuang ordered the connection of these individual walls and further extensions to form the basis of the present great wall. As a matter of fact, a separate outer wall was constructed north of the Yinshan range in the Han Dynasty(206 BC--1644 BC.), which went to ruin through years of neglect. In the many intervening centuries, succeeding dynasties rebuilt parts of the Wall. The most extensive reinforcements and renovations were carried out in the Ming Dynasty (1368--1644) when altogether 18 lengthy stretches were reinforced with bricks and rocks. it is mostly the Ming Dynasty Wall that visitors see today. The Great Wall is divided into two sections, the east and west, with Shanxi Province as the dividing line. The west part is a rammed earth construction, about 5.3 meters high on average. In the eastern part, the core of the Wall is rammed earth as well, but the outer shell is reinforced with bricks and rocks. The most imposing and best preserved sections of the Great Wall are at Badaling and Mutianyu, not far from Beijing and both are open to visitors. The Wall of those sections is 7.8 meters high and 6.5 meters wide at its base, narrowing to 5.8 meters on the ramparts, wide enough for five horses to gallop abreast. There are ramparts, embrasures, peep-holes and apertures for archers on the top, besides gutters with gargoyles to drain rain-water off the parapet walk. Two-storied watch-towers are built at approximately 400-meters internals. The top stories of the watch-tower were designed for observing enemy movements, while the first was used for storing grain, fodder, military equipment and gunpowder as well as for quartering garrison soldiers. The highest watch-tower at Badaling standing on a hill-top, is reached only after a steep climb, like "climbing a ladder to heaven". The view from the top is rewarding, hoverer. The Wall follows the contour of mountains that rise one behind the other until they finally fade and merge with distant haze. A signal system formerly existed that served to communicate military information to the dynastic capital. This consisted of beacon towers on the Wall itself and on mountain tops within sight of the Wall. At the approach of enemy troops, smoke signals gave the alarm from the beacon towers in the daytime and bonfire did this at night.

Emergency signals could be relayed to the capital from distant places within a few hour long before the invention of anything like modern communications. There stand 14 major passes (Guan, in Chinese) at places of strategic importance along the Great Wall, the most important being Shanghaiguan and Jiayuguan. Yet the most impressive one is Juyongguan, about 50 kilometers northwest of Beijing. Known as "Tian Xia Di YI Guan" (The First Pass Under Heaven), Shanghaiguan Pass is situated between two sheer cliffs forming a neck connecting north China with the northeast. It had been, therefore, a key junction contested by all strategists and many famous battles were fought here. It was the gate of Shanghaiguan that the Ming general Wu Sangui opened to the Manchu army to suppress the peasant rebellion led by Li Zicheng and so surrendered the whole Ming empire to the Manchus, leading to the foundation of the Qing Dynasty. (1644-1911) Jiayuguan Pass was not so much as the "Strategic pass Under the Heaven" as an important communication center in Chinese history. Cleft between the snow-capped Qilian Mountains and the rolling Mazong Mountains, it was on the ancient Silk Road. Zhang Qian, the first envoy of Emperor Wu Di of the Western Han dynasty (206 B.C-24 A.D), crossed it on his journey to the western regions. Later, silk flowed to the west through this pass too. The gate-tower of Jiayuguan is an attractive building of excellent workmanship. It has an inner city and an outer city, the former square in shape and surrounded by a wall 11.7 meters high and 730 meters in circumference. It has two gates, an eastern one and a western one. On each gate sits a tower facing each other. the four corners of the wall are occupied by four watch towers, one for each. Juyongguan, a gateway to ancient Beijing from Inner Mongolia, was built in a 15-kilometer long ravine flanked by mountains. The cavalrymen of Genghis Khan swept through it in the 13th century. At the center of the pass is a white marble platform named the Cloud terrace, which was called the Crossing-Street Dagoba, since its narrow arch spanned the main street of the pass and on the top of the terrace there used to be three stone dagobas, built in the Yuan Daynasty(1206-1368). At the bottom of the terrace is a half-octagonal arch gateway, interesting for its wealth of detail: it is decorated with splendid images of Buddha and four celestial guardians carved on the walls. The vividness of their expressions is matched by the exquisite workmanship. such grandiose relics works, with several stones pieced together, are rarely seen in ancient Chinese carving. The gate jambs bear a multi-lingual Buddhist sutra, carved some 600 years ago in Sanskrit(3), Tibetan, Mongolian, Uigur(4), Han Chinese and the language of Western Xia. Undoubtedly, they are valuable to the study of Buddhism and ancient languages. As a cultural heritage, the Wall belongs not only to China but to the world. The Venice charter says: "Historical and cultural architecture not only includes the individual architectural works, but also the urban or rural environment that witnessed certain civilizations, significant social developments or historical events." The Great Wall is the largest of such historical and cultural architecture, and that is why it continues to be so attractive to people all over the world. In 1987, the Wall was listed by UNESCO as a world cultural heritage site.
