Good morning， ladies and Gentlemen， Welcome to China！ Welcome to Hubei Province！

Today I am very pleased to show you Three Gorges of Yangtze River.

At first I’ll have a brief introduction of Yangtze River， the Yangtze River， the biggest river in China， the third longest in the World， starts with the Tuotuo River at the Roof of the World —Qinghai—Tibet Plateau， takes in countless rivers， and flows eastward across the interior of China. With an overall length of more than 6，300 kilometers， the Yangtze River， next only to the Amazon and the Nile， is the third biggest river in the world and is a cradle that breeds the ancient civilization of the Chinese nation.

When the Yangtze River reaches the eastern Sichuan Basin in southwest China， it cuts through the Wushan Mountain. Here the river course suddenly narrows and the waters become turbulent. Sheer cliffs and steep mountains rise on either side， creating one of natures most fantastic sights. The Three Gorges———Qutang， wuxia and xiling————start just after Fengjie and end near Yichang， stretch about 200 kilometers. The Gorges vary from 300metres at their widest to less than 100 meters at their narrowest.

Qutang Gorge is the smallest and shortest Gorge， but grandest of the three. The Yangtze River， mighty and rapid here is suddenly contained like a thousand seas poured into one cup， as the Song Dynasty poet SU Tungpo described the spectacle. High on the both bank， at a place called Bellows Gorge， are a series of crevices. This area is said to have been the home of an ancient tribe whose custom was to place the coffins of their crevices， some containing bronze swords， armour and other artifacts， but the coffins are believed to date back as far as the Warring States Period （475bc————221BC）

Wu Gorge extends 40 kilometers along which the river snakes between based strange—shaped mountain peaks， each of which has a reputation based on a beautiful legend. The story of the 12 Peaks of Wushan goes like this： 12 nymphs once descended to enjoy themselves in the secular world. Finding how perilous Wushan Gorge was， they decided to stay there to protect ships. As time went by， they transformed themselves into 12 peaks. The Goddess Peak， the most graceful of the 12， is said to have been yaoji， the youngest daughter of the Queen mother of the Western Heaven .Goddess Peak stands out from the other peaks on the northern bank to be the first to greet the morning sun and the last to bid it farewell， hence its another name， Viewing the glow Peak. Seen at a distance， it resembles the silhouette of a beautiful young lady.

Down stream from the zigzagging Wuxia Gorge is Xiling Gorge which stretches 78 kilometers eastward and the cliffs on either side rise to just over 900 meters. Xiling Gorge is awesome with its dangerous rapids， shoals， reefs， sharp turns， billowy whirlpools. The water at one point is so turbulent that it seems to be boiling during the flood season. Xiling Gorge in the east consists of several small gorges. On the top of another is a rock that looks like a sword. On the crag of the north bank are two pieces of brown rock， which are named Bulls Liver and Horse Lung， whose shape they take. Next does the Lantern Shadow Gorge， which has four rocks， resemble Monk Xuan Zang and his three disciples———Monkey， Piggy and Sandy in the classic Chinese adventures of the four on their way to India to obtain Buddhist scriptures.

Around the last bend of Xiling Gorge stretches a vast plain. The river suddenly becomes wide here. Travelers on the Yangtze cruise may also visit many sites of historical and scenic interest along the river banks including the ruined of baidi Town and Precious Stone Village.

Everyone knows that the Yangtze Gorges are changing since the well—known Three Gorges Dam Project is being built at Sabdouping， Yichang， Hubei Province. The dam is 181 meters in height. Its construction investment comes up to 203.9 billion rmb， equals to 24.65 billion U.S. dollars. The installed power generation capacity is expected to be 18.2 million kilo watts. With the dam built， the flood in the Yangtze River valley will be controlled， navigation improved besides the economic benefits. Tourism will be little affected. Many cultural and historical relics are now being removed to a higher ground before the rise of the water level approaches.

Ladies and Gentlemen， the time has gone very quickly and your trip is drawing to a close. It’s a pity that you cannot stay here any longer. Please allow me， then， take this opportunity to thank you for your cooperation and understanding， and if you come back in the future， I hope to see you again and be your guide again.

大家好!我叫张卓文，是此程游客的导游。我将带领大家浏览颐和园，希望大家旅游愉快。

颐和园位于北京，是一个美丽的大公园。进了颐和园的大门，绕过大殿，就来到了有名的长廊。绿漆的柱子，红漆的栏杆，一眼望不到头。这条长廊有七百多米长，分成273间。每一间的横槛上都有五彩的画，画着人物、花草、风景，几千幅画没有哪两幅是相同的。

走完长廊，就来到了万寿山脚下。抬头一看，一座八角宝塔形的三层建筑耸立在半山腰，那就是佛香阁。登上万寿山，站在佛香阁的前面向下望，颐和园的景色大半收在眼底，葱郁的树丛，掩映着黄的绿的琉璃瓦屋顶和朱红的宫墙。正前面，昆明湖静得像一面镜子，绿得像一块碧玉。向东远眺，隐隐约约可以望见几座古老的城楼和城里的白塔。

从万寿山下来，就是昆明湖。昆明湖围着长长的堤岸，堤上有好几座式样不同的石桥。游人走过长长的石桥，就可以去小岛上玩。这座石桥有十七个桥洞，叫十七孔桥;桥栏杆上有上百根石柱，柱子上都雕刻着小狮子。这么多的狮子，姿态不一，没有哪两只是相同的。

快乐的时光总是短暂的，今天就浏览到这里。谢谢大家对我工作的支持，欢迎再来颐和园，再见!

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。

游客朋友们，感谢您的合作，期待着与您再次相逢!

按照鼠、牛、虎、兔、龙、蛇……顺序先右后左排列的，右边第一个是鼠，左边第一个是牛。它们会按照十二个时辰轮流喷水，起到报时的作用。然后，我们去‘万花阵’走迷宫。我和爸爸走同一条路进阵，妈妈走另一条进阵。我很快走出了迷宫，到迷宫中央的观花亭休息，听说，在夜晚，古代的皇帝和皇后都喜欢在‘观花亭’上观看举灯笼的宫女和太监走迷宫。穿过‘御花园’和水上乐园，我们来到了儿童乐园，坐了一会儿秋千。随后，我们又去坐了观景缆车，缆车把我们送到了山顶。我们在山顶上可以观赏到珠海的全景和澳门，还看见‘分界河’。最后我们又沿着福海走了一周，就回宾馆了。

Baima temple is located 12 kilometers east of the old city of Luoyang inHenan Province. It was founded in the 11th year of Yongping in the Eastern HanDynasty (AD 68). It is the first ancient temple in China and the world famousKalan temple. It is the first temple built after Buddhism was introduced intoChina. It is known as the "ancestral court" and "source of interpretation" ofChinese Buddhism. It has a history of more than 1900 years. The existing sitesand historic sites are preserved in yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties. There are alarge number of Jiagan lacquered statues of the Yuan Dynasty, such as the thirdBuddha, the second general and the eighteen Arhats.

In 1961, Baima temple was announced as the first batch of national keycultural relics protection units by the State Council of the peoples Republicof China. In 1983, it was designated by the State Council as the national keyTemple of Chinese Buddhism. In January 20__, Baima temple was named as the firstbatch of AAAA scenic spots by the National Tourism Administration.

In the seventh year of Yongping in the Eastern Han Dynasty (A.D. 64),Emperor Liu Zhuang (the son of Liu Xiu) spent the night in Nangong. He dreamedthat a golden man, six feet tall and shining on his head, would come from theWest and fly around the palace. The next morning, Emperor Hanming told theministers about the dream. Doctor Fu Yi said, "there is a God in the west, whichis called Buddha, just as you dream.". After hearing this, Emperor Han and Mingsent more than ten ministers, such as Cai Yin and Qin Jing, to the westernregions to worship Buddhist scriptures and Dharma.

In the eighth year of Yongping (AD 65), Cai, Qin and others bid farewell tothe imperial capital and embarked on the journey of "learning from the west". InDayue Kingdom (from Afghanistan to Central Asia today), I met Indian eminentmonks, such as shemoteng and zhufalan, and met Buddhist sutras and white feltstatues of Sakyamuni Buddha. I sincerely ask the two eminent monks to go east toChina to preach Buddhism.

In the tenth year of Yongping (AD 67), two Indian eminent monks wereinvited to carry Buddhist scriptures and statues on white horses together withenvoys of the Eastern Han Dynasty to Luoyang. Emperor Hanming was very happy tosee the Buddhist scriptures and statues. He was very polite to the two eminentmonks. He personally received them and arranged for them to stay in Honglutemple, the official office in charge of foreign affairs at that time.

In the 11th year of Yongping (A.D. 68), the emperor of Han and Ming orderedthe construction of monasteries in the north of Sanli imperial road outsideXiyong gate in Luoyang. In memory of Baima tuojing, it was named "Baima Temple".The word "Si" originated from the word "Si" of "Honglu Temple", and later "Si"became a general term of Chinese temples. This is the first Chinese translationof Buddhist scriptures in China.

After taking photos of moteng and zhufalan, many Western eminent monks cameto Baima temple to translate Buddhist scriptures. In more than 150 years after68 A.D., 192 Buddhist scriptures, 395 volumes in total, were translated here.Baima temple has become the first Buddhist Scripture Translation Center inChina.

In the second year of Caowei Jiaping (A.D. 250), Tan kejialuo, an Indianmonk, came to Baima temple. At this time, Buddhism also entered the public fromthe deep palace. Later, tankojaro translated the first Buddhist commandment inChinese in Baima temple. At the same time, Tan Di, a monk of the Sabbath state,also translated Tan Wu De Jie Mo in Baima temple, which regulated theorganization and life of the monks. So far, the commandments and theconstitution of the monks group have been completed, and a path of monasticpractice has been paved, which is the beginning of the commandments inChina.

In the fifth year of Ganlu (260 A.D.), a commandment ceremony was held inBaima temple, which is destined to be deeply engraved in the history of ChineseBuddhism. On this day, Zhu Shixing ascended the altar of abstinence inaccordance with the law of karma, knelt down in front of the Buddha, and becamethe first monk who formally received the bhikkhu commandment in Han China. Sincethen, the ancient Confucian tradition of "body hair skin, parents, dare notdamage" has been broken.

During the first 200 years of Buddhisms taking root and spreading inChina, the whole process is closely related to Baima temple. This is the productof Chinas first search for Dharma from the West. It is the residence of thefirst monks who came to China to preach and spread Dharma. The first ChineseBuddhist Scripture and Chinese Commandments were born here, and the firstChinese Buddhist monk was born In a word, Baima temple is closely linked withmany "firsts" of Chinese Buddhism, which makes it the real ancestor and sourceof Chinese Buddhism.

各位游客，大家好，

我是你们今天的导游员，我叫____，我来自于___旅行社，很高兴能为大家服务，也希望我的服务能给大家带来轻松和愉快。在我右手边的是我们的司机王师傅，他已经有了多年驾龄，所以大家尽可放心，尽情欣赏窗外美丽的风景和倾听由我给你带来的热心讲解。今天我带大家游览的是最有扬州风情特色的烟花古巷。现在距离我们的目的地东关街还有一段距离，下面由我来简要介绍一下我们的历史古城扬州。

扬州是一个会让人产生自豪感的城市，它的历史可以向上追溯2500年。这座千年古城屡经风云变幻，汉代的兴盛，隋唐的繁盛，明清的鼎盛，使这座古城体现出了无限的魅力。今日的扬州更是风采依旧。它是国务院首批历史文化名城、中国优秀旅游城市，04年获得中国人居环境奖，06年获得“联合国人居奖城市”。头顶这么多美丽的光环，扬州的秀美景色一定让各位不虚此行，来了就不想走了!

扬州的好吃的好玩的好看的，不用我多说，很多早已久负盛名了。先说玩的，扬州的景点很多，如诗如画的瘦西湖、晚清第一名园“何园”、四大名园之一的个园等等。扬州还有很多特色美食，像大家所熟悉的扬州炒饭、大煮干丝、富春包子等等，这些足可以让您在扬州期间大饱口福!“早上皮包水，晚上水包皮”这是对扬州百姓生活的最生动概括，另外，扬州还有“三把刀”，分别是理发刀、修脚刀、菜刀，这不仅是指扬州的刀口好，而是还反映了扬州三大服务业的繁盛。也就是说，这三把刀背后还代表了三大服务业，分别是：理发刀代表的是理发美容业，修脚刀代表的是修脚沐浴业，厨刀代表的是餐饮服务业。“到扬州，吃得好，玩得好，还要享受剃头洗个澡”，这已经成为近三百年来到扬州享受生活的典型写照。

每个城市都有自己最美的侧面，扬州的古巷也可以算是扬州最美的侧面了，扬州人常说：“巷连巷，巷通巷，大巷里面套小巷。”东西南北，横竖曲折，在扬州十几平方公里的老城区里就有500多条巷子。而巷子的大小是不能用长短，而是要用深浅来衡量的。于是也就有了“酒香不怕巷子深”的说法。在繁华似锦的扬州历史上，巷子的深浅也是门户高低的象征，幽幽的巷子尽头必隐藏着庭院深深的富商名贾之家。

大家好!我是故宫旅游业的颜剑大家可以叫我小颜导游，我今天要和大家一起去北京有名的景点：故宫。我们今天要去的地方有：太和殿、中和殿、保和殿。

Everybody is good! I am Forbidden City tourism YanJian you can call me xiaoyan tour guide, I want to go with you today Beijing famous scenic spots: the Forbidden City. We went there today: taihe palace, zhonghe palace and Baohe Palace.

我先主要介绍一下故宫：北京故宫，是世界上规模最大、保存最完好的古代皇宫建筑群，是中国古代建筑最高水平的体现。北京故宫，始建于明朝永乐四年(1406)，建成于永乐十八年(1420)，是明清两朝的皇宫，其时称紫禁城，1920xx年始称故宫。从1420xx年明成祖迁都北京，到1920xx年辛亥革命推翻清政府，将末代皇帝溥仪赶出故宫，结束中国历史上封建王朝的统治，故宫一直是中国统治阶级的政治和文化中心，先后经历了24位皇帝。

I mainly introduce the palace first: Beijings Forbidden City, is one of the worlds largest and best preserved ancient palace complex, is the highest level of ancient Chinese architecture. Beijing the imperial palace, the Ming dynasty yongle four years (1406), was built in the eighteenth year (1420), is the imperial palace during the Ming and qing dynasties, the timely according to the Forbidden City, beginning in 1925, according to the Forbidden City. Ancestor cheng, Beijing from 1421 to 1911 revolution to overthrow the qing government, the last emperor pu yi out of the palace, to end the rule of feudal dynasty in Chinese history, the palace has been the ruling class of the political and cultural center of China, has experienced the 24 emperors.

故宫占地面积72万平方米，建筑面积15万平方米，现有建筑980余座，有屋8700余间，故宫四周绕以10米高的城墙，外有50多米宽的护城河。明清故宫建于北京城的中央，以南北为中轴线，座北朝南，充分体现了皇权至上的封建统治思想，故宫城外是皇城，皇城外又有北京城，城城包围，显示了森严的等级制度。

The Palace Museum covers an area of 720xx0 square meters, construction area of 150000 square meters, the existing buildings of more than 980, have house more than 8700, around the Forbidden City around 10 meters high walls, and there are more than 50 meters wide moat. The middle of the Ming and qing dynasties imperial palace was built in the city, to the north and the south central axis, faces south, which fully reflect the supreme imperial power of the feudal rule, outside the Forbidden City is emperor city, outside the imperial city and Beijing city, the city surrounded by city, shows the guarded hierarchy.

历史上，故宫因火灾和其它原因曾多次重建，但基本格局没有改变，整个皇宫建筑分为南部前朝和北部后廷两部分。前朝有太和、中和、保和三大殿，这三大殿是故宫中最高大的建筑物，也是皇帝举行重大典礼的地方，是封建皇权的象征。后廷以乾清宫、交泰殿、坤宁宫为中心，左右东西六宫为翼，是皇帝、皇后、嫔、妃居住的地方。前朝后廷，界限分明，不可随便逾越，体现了中国古代传统的等级分明，内外有别的伦理观念。中国的建筑匠师们将如此大规模的建筑规划得井井有条，利用重重得墙门和庭院把故宫有序地组合成壮丽的建筑群。

In history, the Forbidden City has repeatedly reconstruction for fire and other reasons, but the basic pattern has not changed, the entire palace after the building is divided into north and south power at the two parts. Power with taihe, neutralization, and three main halls, are the three main halls in the Forbidden Citys tallest building, it is the place where the emperor held a major ceremony, is the symbol of the feudal imperial power. Back to the palace of heavenly purity, tai temple, palace of earthly tranquility of delivery as the center, around something natural to wing, is the emperor, empress, wives, princess lived. Power after the katyn, clear-cut, cannot overstep casually, embodies the ancient Chinese traditional hierarchical, both inside and outside have other ethics. Craftsman will such a large scale of Chinese architecture planning in order to use heavy doors and courtyard to the imperial palace and orderly combination into the magnificent buildings.

明清故宫的规划和建筑，不仅继承了中国古代建筑的传统，而且有所发展创新，是中国古代文化和中国古代建筑艺术成就的集大成者。其室内外建筑空间的组合、建筑体量大小的搭配、材料的运用、小品的陈设、装饰的制作、色彩的选择都达到了很高的水平，产生了激动人心的艺术效果。

The Forbidden City planning and construction of the Ming and qing dynasty, not only inherited the tradition of ancient Chinese architecture, the development and innovation, is the ancient Chinese culture and the achievements of the ancient Chinese architectural art. Its indoor and outdoor architectural space combination, the collocation of cubic construction size, the use of materials, the sketch of the display, decoration, the choice of the color are reached the high level, the exciting art effect.

Shenyang Zhaoling Mausoleum of the Qing Dynasty:

Hi, good morning everyone, welcome to Shenyang Zhaol-ing Mausoleum of theQing Dynasty. I’m your tour guide, Vickey. I wish you guys can have a wonderfultime with us and make a lot of friends during this trip.

Zhaoling mausoleum is located in the northern suburb of Shenyang, alsoknown as North mausoleum. It is the mauso-leum of the second emperor of the Qingdynasty, HuangTaiJi and his empress. It is the largest and most magnificent oneof three Imperial Mausoleums in Qing dynasty, and is also one of the mostcompleted existing ancient imperial Mauso-leum building groups in stock. In20__, the UNESCO (Unit-ed Nations Educational, Scientific and CulturalOrganiza-tion) officially listed Shen Yang Zhaoling mausoleum as the WorldHeritage.

HuangTaiJi is the eighth son of the first emperor Nurhachi of Qing dynasty.He, who was born in Liaoning, was famous in politics and strategy. He unifiedthe Northeast China. Zhaoling mausoleum was build from 1643 to 1651. Theex-isting building was the result of reconstructions and en-largements. In termsof architectural style, Mausoleum Zhaoling not only absorbed the advantages ofthe Ming Dy-nasty (which is the times before Qing Dynasty), but alsoas-similated to Manchu people. So it’s a typical Mausoleum blend of Han andManchu culture.

Here we come to the long-en Palace. Long-en Palace is the main palace ofthis mausoleum. It is also known as the "Xiang Palace". It enshrines the shrinesof HuangTaiJi and his empress and the emperor held grand ceremonies here. It wasbuilt in 1643, and was rebuilt in 1691. It was named “long-en" in 1650 and theplaque was hung at the same time. Alright, you guys can go use the restroom. Weare gathering here after 15 minutes.

I walk in the road, the following hatosy park will take in everything in a glance. Clear hatosy seems endless, little small boats gliding slowly moving on the surface of the lake, like only cute little ducks play in the water. My temper is very urgent, generally to hatosy. Can see hatosy water green, LanYingYing, pieces of the leaves fall in the river, dressed beautiful hatosy already more appealing. The only fish in the water happily, watching it all, seem to see the ancient official - bao zheng. Bao handle affairs justice, integrity, remain uncorrupted, never accept a little wealth.

We move on. I walked, while watching the river. In the backdrop of the sun, hatosy like put on a studded gold piece silver piece of coat, still shining! On one side of the weeping willows the river as a mirror, carefully washed with jade hand wash and dress her long hair, the whole hatosy look more beautiful in the park.

Of course, to hatosy park, rowing is indispensable. Its not my uncle had just paid the deposit, I cant wait to climb on the ship. Im sitting in the drivers position, a hand wheel, one hand on the door, blowing straight cool wind, simply means defect! "Click" sound, uncle, my hatosy and willow left aside.

This trip to hatosy park, let my life aftertaste!

Mount Jiuhua is one of the four sacred mountains of Chinese Buddhism. It is located in Qingyang County in Anhui province and is famous for its rich landscape and ancient temples.

Many of the mountain’s shrines and temples are dedicated to Ksitigarbha (known in Chinese as Dìzàng, Traditional Chinese: 地藏), who is a bodhisattva and protector of souls in hell according to Mahayana Buddhist tradition. Pious Buddhists often come to this popular attraction in Anhui to climb to Greater Tiantai peak, which is regarded as Jiuhuashan’s most important peak, although it is not the tallest.

History of Jiuhua Mountain

Jiuhu Mountain, known as a Buddhist wonderland and famous for its large number of temples and beautiful scenery, has been a resplendent pearl of Chinese cultural heritage.

Jiuhua Mountain was formed in the late Cenozoic Era, and Buddhism began in the Northern and Southern Dynasties (420-589) at the mountain. According to historical records, a monk named Fuhu built Fuhu Convent in 503; Monk Tanhao practised Buddhism here in 713; During 713-755, Jin Qiaojue, a Korean aristocrat, came to Jiuhua Mountain and lived in a stone cave at Dongya Peak. His hard practice moved the local people, and they contributed money to build a temple for him. In 781 the local official Zhang Yan presented a memorial to the emperor for the horizontal inscribed board "Huacheng". Upon Jin Qiaojue’s nirvana, it was said that the mountain roared, birds and monkeys cried, and the earth gave out fire and light. His body kept lively three years later, so he was respected as the Earth Buddha, wrapped with earth and has been preserved to present. Roushen Pagoda was built to revere him, and thus Jiuhua Mountain has become the place where Earth Buddhist rites are performed.

The history of Buddhism at Jiuhua Mountain can be divided into five periods: founded in the middle of Tang Dynasty ; decayed from the late Tang Dynasty to the Five Dynasties; slowly developed in the Song and Yuan Dynasties; and greatly developed in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. In the Ming Dynasty, the emperors granted money to rebuild Huacheng Temple for three times and two emperors bestowed inscriptions. The number of temples and nunneries was over a hundred, and many monks and nuns came. It was listed as one of the four famous Buddhist mountains, besides Wutai Mountain, Emei Mountain, and Putuo Mountain.

Reform means leap, opening up means prosperity and strength, bathing in thespring breeze of reform. In the twinkling of an eye, it has been more than 30years, and peoples living standards have undergone earth shaking changes.Shiyan, my hometown, has also changed miraculously.

In the past, my hometown was just a small village. The roads are full ofmud and potholes. My hometown is full of bungalows in my mind. There are only afew bungalows that I can see, and most of them are tile roofed houses. When itswindy and rainy, if its serious, the house will collapse, or even water willenter. The road in front of the house is cold and clear. There are no factories,no shops, let alone street lamps. A street is closed. In those days, owning abicycle has become peoples goal. The clothes people wore at that time were allpatched. There used to be a saying: new three years, old three years, sewing andmending for another three years. Even shoes are made by their own dexteroushands, including straw shoes, cloth shoes

In the wave of reform and opening up, Shiyan has become a small city.Prosperous and prosperous, beautiful and lovely. In the past, the low and shabbyold houses have long been replaced by new and unique high-rise buildings. Theold muddy road has disappeared. Wide expressways crisscross in all directions.On the smooth and wide asphalt road, vehicles shuttle and flow. On both sides ofthe road, people come and go. The former tile roofed house has now become aluxury residence. When you look around, you can see rows of brand-new high-risebuildings. The childrens paradise is full of joy, and the colorful fountain isdecorated like a fairyland. As long as you walk into a family at will, there areall kinds of household appliances, such as TV, refrigerator, air conditioner andtelephone. Many families also have mobile phones and private cars. Many familiesalso buy computers to browse, query information and engage in cultural andentertainment activities, which brings great convenience and endless fun topeoples life. Shopping malls and farmers markets are full of goods. Its a newlook and a new atmosphere every year!

Therefore, we must be a student with all-round development of morality,intelligence, physique, beauty and labor, so that our great motherland willalways stand in the forest of the world. I believe that with the diligence andwisdom of the people, my hometown will become more prosperous and peoples lifewill become richer.

Ladies! Gentlemen! Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. I am a tour guide zhi-xian li, nine years old this year. Everybody call me xiao li.

the original buildings on this site were burned down by the anglo-french allied forces in 1860. a new set of structures was built during the reign of emperor guanxu, and was called the hall of dispelling clouds, suggesting that it was a fairyland. the hall was built on a high terrace, and has 21 room. inside the hall are a throne, screens, tripods and mandarin fans. on a platform you will see bronze dragons, phoenixes and tripods. at the foot of the platform there are four bronze water vats, the ancient form of fire extinguishers. the 10th day of lunar october was ,empress dowager cixi` s birthday. on that day ,she sat on the throne here to receive congratulations and gifts. now we are going to pay a visit to the highlight of the summer palace- the tower of buddhist incense. what we are now standing on is a stone terrace which is 20 meters in height. it has a semi housed stairway of 100 steps, you will live for 100 years. so, let` s go !

(in the front of the tower of buddhist incense)

an octagonal structure with three storeys and quadruple eaves, the tower of buddhist incense is the very center of the summer palace, and is one of the masterpieces of ancient chinese architecture. the tower is 41 meters in height, and is buttressed by 8 solid pillars made of lignumvitae logs. with its complex structure, ingenious layout, towering terrace and convincing grandeur, the tower of buddhist incense was artfully set out by the imperial gardens and beautiful scenery surrounding it .the tower overlooks kunming lake and other picturesque spots within an area of tens of kilometers .on the west side of the tower stands baoyunge (precious cloud pavilion). it is made of bronze and is7.5 meters in height and 270 tons in weight. it resembles its wooden counterparts in every detail. it is one of the largest and most exquisite bronze pavilions still on existence in china. lamas prayed here during the reign of emperor qianlong in honor of the monarchs and their families. at the turn of the century 10 bronze windows were spirited abroad. in 1992 an american company bought the windows and returned them intact to china.

now we can see the long and snaking western causeway and a shorter dike that divides kunming lake into three areas that contain south lake island, seaweed-viewing island and circle city island. the three island represent three mountain in ancient chinese mythology, i. e. penglai, fangzhang and yingzhou. this peculiar method of incorporating a lake a three mountains within a single garden was a brainchild of emperor wudi of the han dynasty more than 2,000 years ago, bearing testimony to feudal monarchs` s longing for longevity. as the legend goes many heavenly elixirs grew on the three mythical islands. using artificial building techniques, the ancient chinese built this masterpiece based on the myth to make the mythical on appear to be accessible to humans.

(inside the garden of harmonious interest)

setting a garden within a larger garden has been one of china traditional architectural styles. the garden of harmonious interest serves as a fine example of this. this garden was built under the order of emperor qianlong and modeled after the jichang garden (garden of ease of mind )at the foot of mount huishan, jiansu province. it was renamed by his son emperor jiaqing in 1811. the existing garden was rebuilt by emperor or guangxu. empress dowager cixi used to go fishing here. the garden features 10 waterfront platforms, pavilions and halls as well as hundreds of galleries with all of its structures facing the lake and pools, the garden of harmonious interest is basically a garden of waterscape. spanning the vast expanse of the lake and pools are five bridges, each quite different from the others. the most famous of them is the bridge known as knowing –the fishing-bridge.” it is said that more than 2,500 years ago during the warring states period, two philosophere named zhuang zi had an interesting argument by the side of a pond. zhang said, ”fish swim to and fro in the water. what happy fish!” hui asked , ”you are not a fish. how do you know they are happy? ” zhuang replied, you are not me .how do you know i don’t know? ” hui signed, i am not you ,therefore, i don’t know you . and you are not a fish ,so how do you know that fish are happy? ” zhang said, you ask me how i know fish are happy, why do you keeping me the same question?” although the garden of harmonious interest was designed after jichang garden, it not only absorbed the original designs, but exceeded it .

(outside the south entrance to suzhou shopping street)

now lets have a look at longevity hill. on the back slope of the hill stands a group of architectures. the centerpiece of structures there are known as the four continents and are dedicated to buddhism. this group was laid out and arranged in accordance with buddhist cosmology. aside from a main shrine and structures embodying the four continents, there are eight towers representing minor continents. the shrine is surrounded by four lamaist pagodas and between the major and minor continents, there two platforms representing the sun and the moon. the qing authority attached great importance to buddhism. to further strengthen ties with the ethnic minorities who practiced buddhism, the monarchs incorporated both han and tibetan styles of architecture into this group of temples. further north at the foot of the four major continent lies the suzhou shopping street. built along the back lake of the summer palace, this street stretches about 300 meters and features more than 60 stores. it includes restaurants, teahouses, pawnshops banks, drugstores dye houses and publishing houses. in order to recreate the atmosphere of ancient times, visitors will have the chance to exchange their money to ancient style chinese coins for use here. storefronts are trimmed with traditional signboards and ornaments. the commercial culture of the mid-18th century has thus been recreated.

(atop the stone bridge inside the suzhou shopping street)

visitors may be surprise to see that this shopping street is almost the same as that in south china. as a matter of fact, this street was designed after the shops along the canals in suhzhou. originally known as emperor` s shopping street, it was built during the reign of emperor qianlong. after making several inspection tours to south china and being duly impressed by its commercial prosperity, emperor qianlong ordered the construction of this street. the imperial shopping street was burnt down by anglo-french allied forces in 1860. the site remained desolated until 1987, when reconstruction began. it was opened to the public in september 1990. with commercial culture as its hallmark, the suzhou shopping street is a vivid representation of china` s traditional cultures.

(on the road from the south fate of the suzhou shopping street to the marble boat)

this is the hall of pines. from it to the west we can walk to the marble boat. the path we aree taking stretches between longevity hill and back lake. monarchs and their cohorts used to stroll along it .hence it was named central imperial path. along this path you will see lilacs all around. hence, this road is also known as the path of lilac.

(in front of the ruins of the garden of complete spring)

quite a few unique structures were burnt down during the reign of emperor qianlong, among which the garden of complete spring was one of the most famous. the ruined and desolate courtyard by the roadside was its original site, it remains to be restored. this group of structures cover an area of 4,000 square meters and features a number of halls built on three different levels. all of the structures were connected with galleries and stone staircases. with its natural and ingenious combination of pavilions, a hall, galleries and rooms, the garden of complete spring serves as a fine model for other gardens. emperor qianlong frequently visited this compound.

(along the lakeside by the marble boat)

now we have returned from the back of longevity hill to the front. there is the famous marble boat. this structure is 36 meters in length and its body was made of marble. on top of it is a two storeyed structure. the floor was paved with colored bricks. all of the windows are inlaid with multi-colored glass and the ceiling was decorated with carved bricks. the drainage system channels rain water down through four hollow concrete pillars and into the lake through the mouth of dragon heads. according to a book written by emperor qianlong, the boat was used for enjoying the scenery and was supposed to be symbolic of the stability of the qing dynasty. halfway up the slope there stands the hall for listening to orioles . the ancient chinese liken the warble of an oriole to beautiful songs and melodies, hence the name of the hall which used to be a theater. now the hall is one of the most famous restaurants in china, featuring imperial dishes and desserts. it is a must for many foreign visitors to have lunch here when then come to beijing. more than one hundred heads of state worldwide have dined here and the late premier zhou enlai has held banquets here in honor of state guests. (sightseers who want to try the restaurant can go boating after they eat. those who do not can go abroad right away. those who do not feel like taking the boat can stoll along the long corridor to the outside of the east gate). (boating on kunmin lake) we are now going to enjoy the lakeside scenery from a pleasure boat. as a main part of the summer palace, kunming lake covers an area of 220 hectares, or three fourths of the combined space of this summer resort. this natural lake is more than 3500 years old. this lake was originally called wengshan lake. in 1749 emperor qianlong ordered the construction of qingyi garden, the predecessor of the summer palace. involving nearly 10,000 laborers, the lake was expanded and turned into a peach-shaped reservoir, the first of its kind for beijing. from 1990 to 1991, the beijing municipal government ordered the first dredging of the lake in 240 years .involving 200,000 men and hundreds of dredgers and other tools, a total of 625,600 cubic meters of sludge was dredged and 205 bombs dropped by the japanese during the anti-japanese war were removed. the summer palace set a precedent for sightseeing by boat. there used to be a large imperial flotilla, of which the kunming merry dragon” was the most famous. it was destroyed by the anglo-french allied forces in 1860. to make the tour of the summer palace a more pleasant one, a large pleasure boat tai he ” (supreme harmony )was built. this double –decked boat is 37.09 meters long,8,59 meters wide and 10.49 meters high. it can travel at a speed of 9 kilometer per hour. small pleasure boats are also available to tourist. another major spot of interest on the western causeway is jingming (bright view ) hall. both its front and rear face the lake. this structure also features three two- storeyed halls of varying heights. our tour is drawing to a close as we approach the shore. today we only visited the major scenic areas of the summer palace. i have left other spot of interest for your next visit. i will show you out through the east gate. i hope you enjoyed today` s tour. thank you .good-bye and good luck.

Chengcha River

There is a north-south fault between the peaks of Tianhuo and Longmen. For rocks crushed, weathering strong there, as time passes, it has formed a crack called Tamen. The water of the sky pond flowing from Tamen and long time eroding the earth formed Chengcha River. In myth, “Chengcha” means to lead to the heaven by wooden raft. with the length of 1250m, it is the shortest river in the world.
