Welcome to Shaoxing Lu Xun Memorial Hall. Shaoxing is a famous historicaland cultural city with outstanding people and brilliant stars since ancienttimes. Lu Xun, a great modern Chinese writer, thinker and revolutionist, is oneof the outstanding representatives. Lu Xun, formerly known as Zhou Shuren, wasborn on September 25, 1881 in a dilapidated family of feudal literati andbureaucrats in the capital of Shaoxing. He started at the age of 7 and studiedin Sanwei bookstore at the age of 12. When he was 13 years old, his grandfatherwas jailed for bribery in the imperial examination. His father, Zhou Boyi, fellill and suffered a lot from the decline of his family. When Lu Xun was 18 yearsold, he resolutely "took a different road, fled to other places, and went toNanjing and Japan to study. After returning to China in the summer of 1909, hesuccessively engaged in teaching and literary creation in Hangzhou, Shaoxing,Beijing, Xiamen, Guangzhou and Shanghai. On October 19, 1936, he died of illnessat his home in Shanghai new village. He was 56 years old.

Lu Xun spent more than one third of his life in Shaoxing. He not only spenthis childhood and adolescence in his hometown, but also carried out his earlyteaching practice, literary creation and social revolutionary activities. Thelife experience of his hometown not only has a great influence on hisideological development, but also is an important source of his literarycreation. Today, we are going to follow the footsteps of this great man andvisit his hometown.

Now we come to Lu Xuns birthplace - Lu Xuns former residence. Lu Xunsformer residence is located at the west head of the Zhoujia new gate at theentrance of Duchang Fangkou. The new gate of the Zhou family is the place wherethe Zhou family has lived for many years. It was built in the Jiaqing period ofthe Qing Dynasty, facing south from the north, with green tiles, pink walls,brick and wood structure. It is a typical deep courtyard in the south of theYangtze River. In 1918, the house, together with the herb garden behind it, wassold to Zhu, a neighbor in the East. After the change of ownership, most of theoriginal houses have been demolished and rebuilt, but the main part of Lu Xunsformer residence is fortunately preserved, so today we are lucky to see theoriginal Lu Xuns former residence.

These two black stone storehouse gates were originally the side gates ofZhou Jiaxins gate, where Lu Xuns family went in and out.

This ordinary mud flat house is the place where Lu Xuns family used toplace vehicles. As we all know, Shaoxing is known as "Venice of the East".Therefore, most families are equipped with water transportation. The two talloars are used on big ships, while the two small oars are used on black canopies.Sedan chair is a means of land transportation, among which the sedan bar is theoriginal of Lu Xuns family.

From the right door, through the corridor, to the "sweet scented osmanthushall". Mingtang is commonly known as Tianjing in Shaoxing. There used to be twolush osmanthus plants planted here, hence the name of Osmanthus Mingtang. WhenLu Xun was a child, he used to lie on a small table under the osmanthus tree insummer to enjoy the cool. His stepgrandmother Jiang, while shaking a banana fan,played riddles for Lu Xun and told stories such as "cat is the master of thetiger" and "water overflows the Golden Mountain". Lu Xun was influenced by folkliterature since childhood and provided rich materials for his later literarycreation. Later, he had vivid memories in his articles such as dog, cat, mouseand on the collapse of Leifeng Pagoda.

Through the sweet scented osmanthus hall, you come to Lu Xuns bedroom. Inthe summer of 1909, Lu Xun returned to his hometown from Hangzhou after studyingin Japan. He successively held teaching posts in Shaoxing Fuzhong school andShanhui Junior Normal School. This bedroom was his bedroom and study when he wasteaching in Shao. Lu Xun often prepared lessons and wrote late into the night.His first classical Chinese novel nostalgia was written here. The iron pearwooden bed on display in the bedroom is the original of that year.

Through the slate patio, facing is the well preserved two floors and twobottoms of Lu Xuns former residence. The first half of Dongshou is the mainplace for Lu Xuns family to eat and meet guests. Shaoxing is commonly known as"xiaotangqian". When Lu Xun was a teacher in Shaoxing, he often receivedvisiting friends and students here. The leather chair in the upper right cornerof the living room was used by Lu Xuns father. Lu Xuns father was dismissed asa scholar after his grandfather Zhou Fuqings cheating on dance in the imperialexamination hall. He was depressed and depressed. After that, he was so sickthat he was mistaken by a quack doctor that he died at the age of 36. From thenon, Lu Xuns family fell into predicament from a well-off family. After a seriesof family changes, young Lu Xun suffered from the coldness and coldness of theworld. He saw the degeneration and ugliness of the upper class society, whichhad a great impact on his thought and embarked on the road of seeking truth.

Separated from the living room is Lu Xuns mothers room. The Eight Leggedbed in the south is the original one that Lu Xuns mother, Lu Rui, had slept in.The little bed in the East is the bed that Lu Xuns brother ZHOU Jianren used tosleep in.

On the table by the window are displayed the things that Lu Xuns motherused to do needlework. Lu Rui, Lu Xuns mother, was born in anqiaotou, Shaoxing.She was kind and resolute. She was able to read books through self-study. Lu Xunadmired his mother and once said, "if my mother is 20 or 30 years younger, shemay become a heroine." Luri is indeed an extraordinary mother. Her three sonsare known as "the three heroes of the Zhou family" in the modern literaryworld.

To the west of the small hall is Lu Xuns stepgrandmother Jiangs bedroom.Lu Xun was deeply impressed by the stepgrandmother, who was cheerful andhumorous, and often told stories and riddles to his nephews andgrandchildren.

A patio away from Luruis bedroom is the kitchen where Lu Xuns familycooks and cooks. In front of the kitchen, the "three eye stove" used by the oldrich family in Shaoxing was restored according to the memories of the peopleconcerned. Pictures and words praying for blessings and avoiding evil spiritswere painted on the walls of the stove. The kitchen cover on the north wall wasmade by Zhang Fuqing, the "busy month" of Lu Xuns family. Zhang Fuqingsometimes brought his son to carry water for help, and became a close friendwith Lu Xun. Lu Xun and Yunshui met for the first time in this kitchen. "Purpleround face, wearing a small felt hat and a bright silver collar around hisneck", it was this water transportation that made Lu Xun realize a strange worldthat he could not see in books. In 1921, when Lu Xun wrote his novel hometown,he took water transportation as a model and created the vivid artistic image of"leap soil".

The three rooms in the back are where Lu Xuns family stores rice and farmtools. The one on the right is Zhang Fuqings residence. In the middle is thecorridor leading to BaiCaoYuan.

Ladies and gentlemen, now we can see that this garden is the famous"BaiCaoYuan". Although the name of BaiCaoYuan is elegant, it is actually anordinary vegetable garden. It was a deserted vegetable garden shared by morethan a dozen families in xintaimen at that time. Usually, some melons andvegetables were planted for drying rice in autumn. In his childhood, Lu Xunoften played with his friends in the herb garden, enjoying the cool in the shadeof trees in summer and catching crickets in the mud wall in autumn. In winter,we catch birds in the snow. As for BaiCaoYuan, Lu Xun once described it vividlyin his famous prose from BaiCaoYuan to Sanwei bookstore. In the article, hewrote with infinite affection: "it is not necessary to say the green vegetablebeds.

Smooth stone well fence, tall acacia tree, purple mulberry Just around theshort mud wall, there is infinite interest. " What we see now is the landscapein Lu Xuns works. When Lu Xun was 12 years old, his family sent him to Sanweibookstore to study. He had to say goodbye to his crickets, raspberries andMulian, and went to the most severe private school in the city to study. Nowlets say goodbye to everything here and follow Lu Xuns article from BaiCaoYuanto Sanwei bookstore.

From Lu Xuns former residence, walking hundreds of steps to the East,walking south through a stone bridge, and entering through a black paintedbamboo silk door, you will arrive at Sanwei bookstore, where Lu Xun studied inhis youth. Sanwei bookstore is a famous private school in Shaoxing City in thelate Qing Dynasty. It used to be the study of Shou family. Lu Xun began to studyhere at the age of 12. His five-year study career benefited him a lot,accumulated rich cultural knowledge, and laid a very solid foundation for hisfuture literary creation.

The plaque of "Sanwei bookstore" is hanging in the middle of the library,and there is a pair of clasps on both sides of the pillars: "music is silent,filial piety is the only thing; Taitang flavor is poetry." They were all writtenby Liang Tongshu, a famous calligrapher of the Qing Dynasty. What is "threeflavors?" according to Mr. Shou Jingwus son: "reading classics tastes likerice, reading history tastes like food, and a hundred schools of thought tastelike vinegar." Among them, acyl is condiment. There is a picture of pine anddeer hanging under the plaque. Every day, students should salute the plaque andthe picture before they start reading.

Your Chagan Lake cruise ship No.1 has left the wharf and is heading for themysterious Chagan Lake through the "grassland canal" - Yinsong canal. Afterentering the lake area, the cruise ship will speed up, the summit is very big,standing in the bow will be very cool and comfortable, but remind you to standfirmly when standing by the boat, pay attention to the safety of swimming in thelake, at the same time, pay attention to carry your goods, so as to avoidfalling into the lake.

Now our cruise ship has entered Chagan Lake.

Chagan Lake is called "Chagannur" in Mongolian, which means white lake.Chagan is 37 kilometers long in the north and 17 kilometers wide in the East andWest.

With a total water area of about 420 square kilometers, it ranks seventhamong the top ten freshwater lakes in China. Its water storage capacity is about700 million cubic meters. It is the largest inland lake and provincial naturereserve in Jilin Province, as well as a famous fishery production base in JilinProvince,

Chagan Lake is rich in natural resources, rich in carp, silver carp,crucian carp, Wuchang fish and other 15 families of 68 species, with an annualoutput of more than 5000 tons of fresh fish, of which "Chagan Lake pangtouyu" iscertified as AA grade green food by the national green food certificationcenter, and is exported to both inside and outside the province. In recentyears, the shrimp, pearl and other aquatic resources of Chagan Lake have beeneffectively developed, and the beautiful fish and shrimp have already been puton the table of tourists. Chagan Lake has four distinct seasons and rich naturalresources, which provides a rare living environment for wild and aquaticanimals, making it a paradise for wild animals and a paradise for birds. Thereare more than 20 kinds of wild animals such as foxes, rabbits and badgers, andmore than 80 kinds of rare birds such as wild ducks, swans, wild geese and redcrowned cranes in the lakeside grassland and small islands. The variety anddensity of wild animals are incomparable to many tourist attractions inside andoutside the province. The unique geographical location and natural resources ofunique scenery make Chagan Lake a dream wind since ancient times Shuibaodi. Fromemperor Shengzong to Emperor Tianzuo in Liao Dynasty, every year, he led hisministers and concubines to Chagan Lake from the capital for sightseeing andspring hunting. They dug ice on the lake to catch fish. They used the "headfish" that emperor liaozong had caught himself to hold a "head fish feast" onthe shore, because in early spring, the lake fish were the freshest, fattest andmost fragrant. When the spring wind blew green, the wild geese and swans weresinging on the Bank of Chagan Lake At that time, the emperors began to set offeagles and arrows to catch swans and geese, and held a goose banquet with thehead geese captured by "haidongqing", which was released by Emperor Liaohimself. They sang and danced by the lake and drank until the end of spring.From this we can imagine the magnificent scene of Chagan Lake.

When you look to the northeast of the lake, the mountain beside the lake iscalled Qingshantou, which is the commanding point around Chagan Lake. There isan old and sad story about Chagan Lake and Qingshantou

A long time ago, there was no Chagan Lake in gollos, but a vast grassland.Deep in the grassland, there was a handsome and powerful young man named Chaganshaobu who had lost his parents since childhood. He shot a good arrow, flying inthe sky, running underground, all shot a hundred times, Chagan shaobu waskind-hearted, and most of his prey was given to the surrounding students

The poor herdsmen are deeply loved by the herdsmen of the hundred milegrassland. One early spring, Chagan shaobu went out hunting with his bow andarrow. Suddenly, he saw a sika deer running towards him in panic. Two wolveswere chasing after him desperately. The exhausted deer was about to become everymeal of the two wolves. After a while, Chagan shaobu took a bow and shot twoarrows to kill the wolf and save the fawn. The fawn looked at Chagan shaobu withgrateful eyes and reluctantly turned and ran to the depth of the grassland.

That night, Chagan shaobu, who was not sleeping, suddenly dreamed of thesika deer he had saved. The deer said to him, "Im here to repay you for savingyour life. I was originally a fairy deer in the sky. Because I ate Ganodermalucidum in the Royal Garden, I was sent to earth by the Jade Emperor. Thepenalty will be over tomorrow. Ill come back to heaven to see my benefactor.See you alone a person too poor lonely, I want to find a companion for you toaccompany you. Tomorrow morning, you will go to Chaobei. After crossing 7749mountains, you will see a fairy peak. There is a fairy cave on the hillside.There is a stone box in the cave. There is a gold hairpin in the stone box. Ifyou put the gold hairpin in your arms and bring it back, there will be a fairyto accompany you. Remember it With that, the deer disappeared.

The next day, Chagan shaobu set out with his dry food bow and arrow in thedirection that the deer pointed out in his dream. He went through all thedifficulties and dangers along the way. He shot and killed countless wolves,insects, tigers and leopards with his good arrow technique, and finally came tothe fairy cave on the hillside of fairy peak. There was a stone box in the cavesurrounded by auspicious clouds. When he opened the stone box, he saw that therewas a light in it He was overjoyed with the dazzling gold hairpin. He picked itup and hurried back. It seemed that he would be home soon.

When he got home, he took out the gold hairpin from his arms and looked atit carefully. Suddenly, with a flash of gold, a pretty girl stood in front ofChagan shaobu and said, "my name is Qimuge. Im the fourth daughter of the queenmother of the West. I admire your kindness and bravery. I like your diligenceand perseverance. If you like, Ill marry you and join hands with you for ahundred years." He was so excited that he held his Muge tightly in his arms.Three years later, Qimuge gave birth to a fat son named bater for Chagan shaobu.One day when Chagan shaobu came back from hunting, he saw Qimuge frowning andasked her what happened? Qimuge tears side said: "tomorrow my mothers birthday,life I go back to celebrate, I need three days back and forth, but the sky threedays, human three years, I really cant bear to let you alone spend three yearsof time." Chagan shaobu comforted qimig and said: "three years will pass in aflash. When you come back, we will never separate again. Thats right, but whenQimuges wings fluttered and left in the colorful clouds, Chagan shaobu missedhis bedroom day and night, and soon he was seriously ill. On his deathbed,Chagan shaobu looked up at the sky and sighed: "Qimuge, I cant look at youagain. I cant close my eyes." At this time, Qimuge, who was far away in thetemple of heaven, seemed to hear Chagan shaobus heartbreaking call, so he wentback to the world regardless of everything. Seeing that Chagan shaobu was dying,he went back to heaven again. Regardless of the rules of heaven, he stole theelixir to take it for Chagan shaobu, and made Chagan shaobu safe.

Unexpectedly, at this time, the queen mother found that the elixir had beenstolen, and immediately sent the God to look for it. When she learned that shehad been stolen by Qimuge and saved Chagan shaobu, she was furious and orderedthe God to move a castle peak and press Qimuge at the foot of the mountain. Thisis what we see now. Another order was issued that no rain should be allowed inthe grassland where Chagan shaobu lived within three years, and that Chaganshaobu and all the plants, cattle and sheep here should die of thirst. Its truethat there hasnt been a drop of rain in this area for three years. Its as hotas a fire, the ground is dry and smoking, the grass is dry, and the cattle andsheep are thirsty. Seeing this, Chagan shaobu was very anxious. One day, Chaganshaobu had a dream of Qimuge again. Qimuge cried and said, "I broke the heavenrules by stealing the elixir to save you. I was pressed under the big greenmountain next to you. I cant save you and the villagers by my magic power. Ifyou want to sacrifice your life to save the grassland life, go to the fairy caveand eat the elixir Ive made, and you will become a big lake beside me."

When Chagan shaobu woke up, he settled down with bater. According toQimuges words, he went to the fairy cave to find the luminous elixir. When hereturned to the deep grassland under the big green mountain, he swallowed theelixir without hesitation. As soon as the elixir ate, Chagan shaobu immediatelyturned into a white lake. The water in the lake is white and transparent, like ajade mirror reflecting the big green hill. With the irrigation of sweet lake,the grassland here is greener, the flowers are more colorful, the cattle andsheep are breeding again, and the herdsmen live a happy life. In order tocommemorate and cherish the memory of the couple who sacrificed their lives tosave the grassland, people come to the lake every spring when the flowers bloom.They play the melodious horse head lute, stir up the happy Andai dance, and namethe Great Lake Chagannur. The green hill by the lake is called Qingshantou.

My friends, the legend of Chagan Lake and Qingshantou is here for you. Nexttime you come to Chagan Lake for sightseeing, I will tell you the next episodeof this beautiful legend - the story of Chagan shaobu and his son bater who ledthe lake to save his father and cut the mountain to save his mother.

A hutong is the passage formed by lines of siheyuan (四合院, four-side enclosed courtyards). Strictly, hutong alleys are less than nine meters wide. Most hutongs in Beijing run in an east-west or north-south direction, with most houses facing south to take in as much sunshine as possible.

A standard siheyuan usually consists of houses on its four sides with a yard in the center. The gates are usually painted red and have large copper door rings. Usually, a whole family lives in compound. The elder generation lives in the main house standing at the north end, the younger generations live in the side houses, and the south house is usually the family sitting room or study.

Hutong joins hutong, and siheyuan meets siheyuan to form a block. Blocks join with blocks to form the whole residential constructions.

Manyemperors and generals left their footprints here: Emperor Qinshihuangs questfor immortality, Emperor Weiwus eastward expedition, Emperor Taizongsexpedition to Korea, and the five emperors of the Qing Dynastys stay There havealso been many major historical events here: Xu Dajians establishment of agarrison, the Jiashen war in the late Ming Dynasty, the invasion of the EightAllied forces, the second Zhifeng war, and the first shot of the Great Wall AntiJapanese war. Laolongtou scenic spot is located on the coast of Bohai Sea, 5kmsouth of Shanhaiguan city. It is composed of Ninghai City, stone city into thesea, chenghailou, nanhaikouguan, longwuying, Haishen temple, etc.

Like a giant dragon, the Great Wall stretches across the land of China. Itseast end is 4 kilometers south of Shanhaiguan City, and it is inserted into thesea. Like the dragon head, it becomes the eastern starting point of the greatwall of Ming Dynasty, so it is called the old dragon head. Chenghai tower is thecommanding height of the old dragon head, and it is a resort to view the sea.Mengjiangnu temple is located in Fenghuang mountain, 6.5km east of Shanhaiguan,which is composed of zhennu temple and mengjiangnu garden. In front of thetemple, there are 108 steps leading to the mountain gate. Inside the red wall ofthe temple, there are two halls, bell tower, Zhenyi Pavilion, Wangfu stone, etc.In the back of the temple, there is a garden area of Jiangnan style, MengJiangnu yuan and the east west side hall, which reproduces the panoramic view of"Meng Jiangnus story", the first of the four folklores in China.

圆明新园于公元一九九七年二月二日正式建成并开放，它坐落于珠海九洲大道石林山下，占地面积为1.39平方公里，以北京圆明园为原稿，按1：1比例精选圆明园四十景中的十八景修建而成，投资6亿元人民币，是我国首批4A级景区之一。它三面环山，南面平坦开阔，福海湖水域面积8万平方米。

圆明新园集中再现当年北京圆明园皇家园林的宏伟气势，所有建筑景观均按原尺寸仿建。大殿“正大光明”、“九洲清晏”、“蓬岛瑶台”、“方壶胜景”组成中轴线为皇家宫殿式建筑群，中轴线西面是“远瀛观”、“大水法”、“海晏堂”等西洋楼景区，环湖有“曲院风荷”、“上下天光”、“平湖秋月”、“濂溪乐处”等十余处中国江南园林建筑景观。它以其浓厚的清文化、精雅别致的亭、台、楼、阁和气势磅礴的大型舞蹈表演吸引了无数国内外游客。

1860年第二次鸦片战争时，英法联军入侵北京，以为咸丰帝还在圆明园，遂以圆明园作为进攻目标。实际上咸丰早在英法联军进北京前就带领一帮大臣逃去了热河。入侵者进了圆明园见到庄严的大殿，辉煌的楼阁，幽静的园林，立即动手大抢起来。据史料记载，入侵者进入皇宫后，也不知道拿什麽东西，拿了金子丢了银子，为了镶有珠宝美玉的艺术品，又把金子丢了。无价的瓷器和珐琅器，因太大不能搬走，竟被打碎。联军抢劫圆明园后还不满足，认为只有焚毁圆明园才能使中国及皇帝产生震动，给予最大打击，故英国将士在他们政府和舆论的支持下决心焚毁圆明园。公元1860年10月一代名园终于在侵略者的火把下化为灰烬。圆明园的焚毁，在人类文化史上的损失是无法估量的，侵略者不但毁坏了世界上独一无二的名园，而且把大批的珍贵文物也掠夺到国外，一代名园只剩下残垣断壁。以后清帝几代虽仍想重建圆明园，但终因内忧外患，国力不足，重建工程不得不半途而废。

圆明新园融古典皇家建筑群、江南古典园林建筑群和西洋建筑群为一体，为游客再显了清朝盛世风华。园内西部，是独具高贵气质的西洋建筑群，白色的大理石墙身，精致的殿内装饰，让您仿佛置身于古老的欧洲宫殿。

正大光明殿、九洲清宴景区等布局庄严、方正，或体现皇族气派、或展现后宫佳丽的脱俗气质;黄色的琉璃器宇轩昂;绿色的琉璃充满生机;紫色的琉璃驱鬼辟邪，难怪乾隆皇帝有“不雕不绘，自得轩茅舍意”。

圆明新园内有众多游客参与、观赏的活动。“正大光明”的皇帝登基;“九洲清晏”的折子戏;“濂溪乐处”的江南丝竹;“方壶胜境”的皇帝选妃、大婚。“乾隆游江南”的福海湖大巡游活动，使游客可乘龙船体验当“皇帝”、“皇后”的感觉;园中的茶楼、酒廊、书画廊、民间艺人的精彩表演使您感受到中华文化的源远流长。 园中每天都会有“皇帝登基”、“清宫轶事”、“皇帝选妃”等节目表演，游客可以一睹清廷礼仪。

葡萄沟英文导游词

导游词是导游者向旅客们介绍景点使用的套词。下面是小编带来的是葡萄沟英文导游词，希望对您有帮助。

新疆是我国最大的葡萄产区，也是我国栽培葡萄的发源地。据调查，新疆葡萄共有50多个品种。尤其在吐鲁番，到处种植着葡萄，占全疆葡萄种植面积的90％以上，简直成了“葡萄的王国”。吐鲁番的葡萄勾起了我们无限遐想。在新疆各族人民中传唱的“吐鲁番的葡萄熟了，阿娜尔罕的心儿醉了”的美妙歌词，就充分表达了人们对葡萄的赞美之情。葡萄被人们誉为“珍珠和玛瑙”，成了新疆“瓜果之乡”的象征。下面就让我们前往吐鲁番最美丽的地方葡萄沟，去体会一下阿娜尔罕陶醉的心情吧!

Xinjiang is the largest grape producing area in China, and also the birthplace of cultivated grapes in china. According to the survey, there are more than 50 varieties of grapes in Xinjiang. Especially in Turpan, grapes are planted everywhere, accounting for more than 90% of the total area of grape growing in Xinjiang. It has become the kingdom of grapes". The grapes of Turpan remind us of our reverie. Sung by the people of all ethnic groups in Xinjiang in the "Turpan grapes are ripe, Anaerhan heart drunk" beautiful lyrics, full of people to express the admiration of grape. Grapes are known as "Pearl and agate", and become the symbol of "hometown of melons and fruits" in Xinjiang. Where Putaogou let us go to Turpan to enjoy the most beautiful, Anaerhan intoxicated mood!

游客们，我们的汽车行驶在火焰山旁，山的西端就是葡萄沟。

Tourists, our cars are driving along Flaming Mountains, and the west end of the mountain is the grape ditch.

葡萄沟是火焰山山脉中一块呈南北走向的河谷地，全长7公里，最宽处约2公里。其间布满了葡萄园，居住着维吾尔、回、汉等民族的果农。倘若您走进葡萄沟，就会看到源于天山的人民渠水穿谷而过，树木繁茂，空气湿润，气候凉爽宜人，与炽热的火焰山形成了鲜明的反差。举目望火山，低头看绿地，真不愧是炎夏避暑的好地方。

Grape ditch is a river valley in the Flaming Mountains mountains, which is 7 kilometers long and the widest is about 2 kilometers. In the meantime, it was full of vineyards, inhabited by Uygur, Hui, Han and other ethnic growers. If you walk into the grape ditch, you will see people from the Tianshan Mountain canal water through the valley, lush trees, humid air, cool climate pleasant, and the hot Flaming Mountains formed a sharp contrast. Look down at the volcano, green, really is a good place for summer summer.

葡萄园→无核白葡萄→葡萄干晾房 我们现在来到了葡萄园内，只见这里的葡萄似遮天的绿云、铺地的绿毯，片片相接，架架相连，绿阴蔽日，硕果累累。 葡萄沟内的葡萄园占地约400多公顷，主要品种有无核白葡萄和马奶（nai）子葡萄，还有玫瑰红、喀什哈尔、比夹干、黑葡萄、索 索葡萄等。此外，还有从国外引进的京早晶、艾麦纳、无核紫、无核红、玫瑰香等优良葡萄品种。其果形各异，有球形、卵形、圆柱形、椭圆形等，有的鲜艳似玛瑙，有的晶莹如珍珠，而有的碧绿若翡翠。这里年产葡萄逾6000吨，晾制葡萄干300余吨，堪称是“世界葡萄植物园”。

The vineyard, grape, raisin drying room now we come to the vineyard, but here the grape like green cloud covered the sky, paving the green carpet, a piece of connected frame is green sun, fruitful. In the grape vineyard covers an area of about more than 400 hectares, the main varieties of seedless grapes and grape seed milk (NAI), and rose red, Kashi hall, clamp of dry, black grape, grapes and other cable. In addition, there are some excellent grape varieties, such as Jing Jing crystal, red silk, seedless purple, seedless red and rose fragrance. Its fruit shape is different, with spherical, oval, cylindrical, oval, etc., some bright agate, some crystal like pearls, and some green jade. It has an annual output of more than 6000 tons of grape and more than 300 tons of dried raisins, which can be called "world grape botanical garden"".

新疆葡萄中的佼佼者是无核白葡萄，葡萄沟内就普遍种植着这种葡萄。瞧!那一串串挂在葡萄架上的果粒椭圆、果呈浅黄绿色的“绿色珍珠”就是无核白。它皮薄肉脆，汁多味甜，鲜果含糖量达24％以上，超过了美国加利福尼亚州葡萄的含糖量，成为世界上最甜的葡萄。由于它没有籽，最适合晾制葡萄干，晾干后其含糖量可达75％以上，并含有蛋白质、有机酸等多种养分，是营养丰富的干果佳品。晶莹如玉的无核白葡萄干，色泽碧绿鲜艳，食之酸甜可口，被称为“中国绿珍珠”。

Xinjiang is the leader of grape grape, grape ditch generally planted with this grape. Look! The strings of fruit oval, hanging in the vine fruit is pale yellow green "green pearl" is thompson. It is thin and crisp, juicy and sweet, fresh fruit sugar content is more than 24%, more than the sugar content of grapes in California in the United States, as the worlds most sweet grapes. Because it has no seed, it is suitable for drying raisins. After drying, its sugar content can reach more than 75%, and contains a variety of nutrients such as protein, organic acid, which is rich in dried fruit. Crystal jade seedless raisins, bright color green, sweet and sour food, known as the "Green Pearl Chinese".

葡萄沟中栽培面积居第二位的是马奶（nai）子葡萄，它果粒呈长柱形或纺锤形，果皮薄而韧，汁多而肉质松脆，没有香味，但特别甜。值得一提的是，吐鲁番盆地由于具有地势低洼、气温高、降水少、太阳辐射强等独的自然条件，因此所有葡萄都没有病虫害，更不需喷洒农药，从而使新疆葡萄干这一品牌名扬海内外，成为难得的天然无毒果品。

The Grape Valley in the cultivated area ranks second in the mare (NAI) sub grape fruit, it is long cylindrical or spindle shaped, peel is thin and tough, juicy and crisp flesh, no smell, but very sweet. It is worth mentioning that the Turpan basin because of its low-lying, high temperatures, less precipitation, solar radiation and other unique natural conditions, so all the grapes are no pests, but do not need spraying pesticides, so that the Xinjiang raisins are the brand famous at home and abroad, has become a rare natural non-toxic fruit.

游客们，漫步在绿色长廊之中，望着这诱人的葡萄，真是无比地惬意! 刚才有的游客问道：葡萄干是怎样制成的?瞧!前方那平顶、长方形、土木结构的小房子就是专门为晾制葡萄干而盖的晾房。晾房墙壁是由土块砌成的有孔花墙，长方形的小孔主要起到自由通风的作用。晾房的门多设在北边或东边，这样一方面可减少阳光的射入，另一方面在运输葡萄时，如晾房一 时容纳不下，可暂时放在晾房外北墙边，数小时内不会被阳光照到，制干后的品质不变。在吐鲁番，这样的晾房随处可见，但多数建造在山坡高处或沟岸上地形开阔平坦、通风和干燥等条件良好的地方。说到这里，游客们或许已经明白了吐鲁番的葡萄干制作方法也有独特之处，它既不同于其他国家利用阳光曝晒，也不是利用人工加温烘干，而完全是凭借干燥温暖的气候自然风干的。这样完全保存了葡萄果实中的叶绿素，使葡萄呈干绿色，这在世界年产约印万吨的葡萄干中，也可算是一种独占望头的佳品了。

Visitors walk in the green corridor, looking at this charming grape, is really very happy! Just some tourists asked: how raisins are made? Look! In front of the barn, flat rectangular, civil structure small house is dedicated to curing raisins and cover. Dry room walls are made of dirt piled hole wall flower, rectangular holes play a major role in free ventilation. The barn doors in the north or East, so that one can reduce the sunlight, on the other hand, the transport of grapes, such as a barn to hold, can be temporarily placed in a barn outside the north wall, not within a few hours of sunshine, dried the same quality. In Turpan, this kind of air drying house can be seen everywhere, but most of them are built on the hillside or on the shore of the ditch, where the terrain is open, flat, ventilated and dry. Here, visitors may have understood the Turpan raisin production methods are unique, it is different from other countries by the sun, nor the use of artificial heating and drying, and is completely dry and warm climate with dry naturally. This completely preserved fruit in the chlorophyll, make the grape is dry green, this in the world with an annual output of about India million tons of raisins, can also be regarded as an exclusive observation for the.

吐鲁番除了葡萄干外，葡萄酒也非常有名，色香味俱佳， 而且酿制历史十分悠久，唐代诗人王翰曾有诗赞道：“葡萄美洒夜光杯，欲饮琵琶马上催。醉卧沙场君莫笑，古来征战几人回。”诗人的名句，将葡萄美酒的神韵与驰骋疆场的将军的豪迈气概描述得出神入化。

In addition to raisins, Turpan, wine is also very famous, color and fragrance, and brewing history is very long, Tang Dynasty poet Wang Han had poetry praise: "Grape Beauty shining cup, want to drink Pipa immediately urge.". Zuiwo battlefield Jun Mo laugh, a few people back to the ancient battle." The famous poet, the wine of the charm and dash about in a battlefield general heroic description reach the acme of perfection.

游客们，现在我们来到了葡萄沟的北部，前面一块大理石碑上写着“葡萄沟”三字，这是前人大常委会委员长彭真同志的手迹，大家可在此摄影留念。

The tourists, now we come to the Grape Valley in the north, in front of a piece of marble monument reads "Grape Valley" three words, this is the former chairman of the NPC Standing Committee Comrade Peng Zhens handwriting, we can in this photo.

这里流水潺潺，葡萄满架。我们漫步在葡萄长廊，宛若畅游江南园林，浑然不知身处烈日炎炎的火焰山中。穿过石桥，置身在葡萄王国中，只见悬崖绝壁的砂砾层中渗出的泉水，汇流成池，池中游鱼，仿佛也和游人一样，怡然自乐，鱼乐人亦乐，泉清心更清。 旅游区内还有葡萄博物馆、葡萄酒品尝点、民俗馆等其他参观设施，以及维吾尔族民乐表演，休息片刻后我们再去参观欣赏。

The water is flowing and the grapes are full. We stroll in the grape corridor, like a tour of Jiangnan gardens, unaware of the scorching sun in the flames of the mountains. Through the stone, in the middle of the grape Kingdom, exudation of gravel layer in spring and sheer precipice and overhanging rocks, the confluence of the pool, the pool of fish, and visitors seem like fish music also contented and happy, happy, spring heart more clear. There are grape Museum, wine tasting point, Folk Museum and other visiting facilities in the tourist area, as well as Uygur folk music performance. After a short rest, we will go and enjoy it again.

扬州鉴真纪念堂是为纪念唐朝律学高僧鉴真而建。鉴真是当时淮南地区极有名望的佛教首领，他拜唐代律宗祖师道岸为师，受请东渡日本传法，于奈良东大寺设坛传戒，又创建唐招提寺，成为日本律宗初祖。鉴真是友好使者，他曾六次东渡，历时十年，虽双目失明而矢志不渝，在日十年不仅辛勤传法，而且把唐代绘画、书法、雕塑、医药、工艺、印刷、建筑等成就的文化带至日本，实际上是一僧团形式的文化代表团。他使魏晋以来中日两国人民互相友好的夙愿和以圆满的实现。1963年鉴真圆寂1200周年，中日双方商定，举行隆重的纪念仪式，我佛教协会主席赵朴初和日本佛教首领大谷莹润分别代表两国鉴真纪念委员会，商定在此建造纪念堂，1973年动工，1974年竣工。

纪念堂由我国著名建筑专家梁思成先生设计，他接受任务后专程赴日，参观奈良唐招提寺和日本其他一些古建筑，回国后，又对我唐代庙宇建造风格进行研究，精心设计这座纪念堂，体现了1963年中日两国商定的精神：不仅从意义上，而且建筑物本身也要成为中日友好的象征。纪念堂分为两组，一组为四松堂构成的清式四合院，南为纪念馆，北为门厅，由游廊周接，天井内有四棵古松，廊悬云板、木鱼，精舍巧建，清幽雅洁。另一组为仿唐式四合院，由纪念碑亭、纪念堂，再由超手游廊将两建筑周接，园内植佳兰芳卉，其中樱花为1980年鉴真大师像回故里探亲时，日本奈良唐招提寺森本孝顺长老所赠。这两组纪念堂一为清式，一为唐式，分之为二，但同处一条中轴线上，又合之为一。

Beidaihe - A Must for Birds Watchers

Set on the coast some 280 km east of Beijing, the seaside holiday resort of Beidaihe is famous not only as a tourist center and as a good place to recuperate after illness, but also as one of the best places in the world to see migratory birds.

Chinas Yanshan Mountain Range winds its way thousands of miles from the west to the eastern seaboard. It sends a number of waterways like the Henghe, Daihe, Yanghe and Luanhe rivers down to the Bohai Sea at Beidaihe. They create a vast area of wetlands, mud-banks, and lagoons with rich feeding and good places for birds to rest. Here migratory routes come together like great seasonal rivers of birds linking northeast Asia with south China, Indo-China, Australia and even far off east Africa.

Nature has richly endowed Beidaihe with bird species and of the 1,198 found in China, 416 have been recorded at Beidaihe. This is a part of the world that plays host to eighteen species of gulls, three of swans, and six of cranes.

Xu Weishu, vice director of the China Ornithological Society tells of the time when as many as 2,729 oriental white storks were recorded in Beidaihe, doubling the previous world record.

Look into the skies of Beidaihe in the first ten days of November every year and you will be sure to see flocks of red-crowned cranes and white cranes.

The year from May 1999 to May 20xx saw ten new bird species added to the list for Beidaihe.

Back in the 1940s Danish scientist, Axel Hemmingsen, published a report saying that he had seen large numbers of cranes at Beidaihe, but no one followed up on this at the time. Then in 1985 guided by Hemmingsens report, British ornithologist Doctor Martin Williams first came to Beidaihe. With the help of an official from the Beidaihe tourism authority, Dr Williams visited Shijiutuo Island in nearby Laoting County. What he discovered there was far beyond his expectations and he found many new kinds of birds. Since then, accompanied by his Chinese counterpart, Xu Weishu, he has brought many overseas professionals together in Beidaihe every year to enjoy watching the birds and carry out research.

Since the first two parties of Chinese bird enthusiasts visited Beidaihe in 1999, more and more domestic visitors have joined bird watching groups going there on vacation.

Beidaihe has enjoyed a good reputation since 1893. It was then that a British engineer helping build a railway line recognized that with its low hills, beaches and sea breezes, the headland was an ideal place to go to escape the summer heat of the interior. On his recommendation, the first holidaymakers arrived. Beidaihe, until then a poor fishing village, quickly became popular with diplomats, merchants, missionaries, and well off Chinese.

Meanwhile the birds are regular visitors here too. Flocks of gulls are easily spotted. What might not be so easy is to be able to distinguish among the bewildering variety in the skies over Beidaihe. Many different birds pass through here as the seasons come and go and every year still sees fresh species spotted. It is a magnificent sight to see the occasional flock of large cranes pass by or to watch the birds of prey, however the larger birds have been decreasing in number.

Round the calendar

The period spanning the last ten days of April through the last ten days of May is the best season for bird watching. This is when you can see the greatest number and variety of birds in Beidaihe.

Then the period from the last ten days of August through September is the time for the medium and small wading birds to pass through.

October brings another peak season as many birds pass through the area, going south for the winter.

As the colder weather comes in with the first ten days of November, flocks of cranes will be making their way south. They will come north again the following March.

The best spots

For waterfowl and songbirds, try Chitu Hill, Lianfeng Hill and the hilltops in Geziwo Park or the many well-wooded courtyards in Beidaihe District.

· For swimming and wading birds, Daihe, Yanghe and Dapu rivers should not disappoint.

· Visit Jiaoshan Mountain to enjoy watching birds of prey and songbirds.

· Shijiutuo Island in nearby Laoting County is well worth an extended visit of a few days duration.

During the course of a typical 12-day visit, you might expect to see 200 different kinds of birds. Beidaihe China International Travel Service arranges specialist tours for bird enthusiasts. Their office number is 086-335-4033598.

黄山，位于安徽省南部，地处皖南歙县、黟县和休宁县的边境。面积约1200平方公里，其中精粹风景区约154平方公里。这里，千峰竞秀，有奇峰72座，其中天都峰、莲花峰、光明顶都在海拔1800米以上，拔地极天，气势磅礴，雄姿灵秀。

黄山，中国十大风景名胜之一，90年被联合国教科文组织列入“世界文化与自然遣产”名录，蜚声中外，令世人神往。

黄山集名山之长，泰山之雄伟，华山之险峻，衡山之烟云，庐山之瀑，雁荡之巧石，峨嵋之秀丽，黄山无不兼而有之。明代旅行家、地理学家徐霞客两游黄山，赞叹说：“登黄山在下无山，观止矣!”又留下“五岳归来不看山，黄山归来不看岳”的美誉。

Of all the notable mountains in China, Mount Huangshan, to be found in the south of Anhui province, is probably the most famous. Originally known as Mt. Yishan it was renamed Mt. Huangshan in 747 AD in recognition of the legendary Huang Di, who was the reputed ancestor of the Chinese people and who made magic pills for immortality here.

Wu yue is the collective name given to Chinas most important mountains, namely Mt. Taishan in Shandong Province, Mt. Huashan in Shaanxi Province, Mt. Hengshan in Shanxi Province, Mt. Songshan in Henan Province and Mt. Hengshan in Hunan Province. It is said that you wont want to visit any other mountains after seeing wu yue but you wont wish to see even wu yue after returning from Mt. Huangshan. This saying may give you some idea of the beauty and uniqueness of Mt. Huangshan. Together with the Yellow River, the Yangtze River and the Great Wall, Mt. Huangshan has become one of the great symbols of China.

Mt. Huangshan can boast not only of its magnificence but also its abundant resources and great variety of zoological species, for which it has been listed as a World Natural and Cultural Heritage Site. 朋友们，你们好!现在我们已经到达黄山风景区南边重镇汤口。在这里先向诸位介绍一下黄山风景的概况。

黄山，位于中国安徽省南部，属中国南岭山脉的部分，全山面积约1200平方公里。黄山山系中段，是黄山的精华部分，也就我们要游览的黄山风景区，面积约154平方公里。它在黄山市境内，南邻歙县、徽州区、休宁县和黟县，北连黄山区;这五个县、区也都属于黄山市管辖。

黄山在中国唐代以前叫黟山，黟是黑样子，因为山上岩石多青黑青黑的，古人就给它起这样一名字。传说咱们中华族的先祖轩辕黄帝在完成中原统一在业、开创中华文明之后，来到这里采药炼丹，在温泉里洗澡，因而得道仙。唐朝著名的皇帝明皇李隆基非常相信这个说法，就在天宝六年(747年)下了一道诏书，将黟山改名黄山。意思是，这座山是黄帝的山。从那以后，黄山这个名字就一直到现在。

朋友们，你们不远千，甚至万里到这里，就要亲眼看一看黄山的美吗?不就是要感受一次人生快乐吗?是的，黄山是绝美绝美的，可说天第奇山，能够登临它，亲眼看看它，确实是人生的一大乐事。在很久很久前，在漫 长地质历史代，大自然的无穷力，塑造了黄山那绝美的风采和种种奇特的景观，令人倾倒，令人心醉。

在这里，我把黄山“四绝”分别作个介绍吧。

说起黄山“四绝”，排在第一的当是奇松。黄山松奇在什么地方呢?首先是奇在它无比顽强的生命力，凡有土的方就能出草木和庄稼，而黄松则是从坚硬的黄岗岩石里长出来的。黄山到处都生长着松树，它们长峰顶，长悬崖峭壁，长在深壑幽谷，郁郁葱葱，生机勃勃。千百年来，它们就是这样从岩石迸裂出来，根儿深深扎进岩石缝里，不怕贫瘠干旱，不怕风雷雨雪，潇潇洒洒，铁骨铮铮。你能说不奇吗?其次是，黄山松还奇在它那特有的天然造型。从总体来说，黄山松的针叶短粗稠密，叶色浓绿，枝干曲生，树冠扁平，显出一种朴实、稳健、雄浑的气势，而每一处松树，每一株松树，在长相、姿容、气韵上，又各各不同，都有一种奇特的美。人们根据它们的不同的形态和神韵，分别给它们起了贴切的自然而又典雅有趣的名字，如迎客松、黑虎松、卧龙松、龙爪松、探海松、团结松等等。它们是黄山奇松的代表。

怪石，是构成黄山胜景的又一“绝”。在黄山到处都可以看到奇形怪异的岩石，这些怪石的模样儿千差万别，有的像人，有的像物，有的有的反映了某些神话传说和历史故事，都活灵活现，生动有趣。在121处名石中，知名度更高一些的有“飞来石”、“仙人下棋”、“喜鹊登梅”、“猴子观海”、“仙人晒靴”、“蓬莱三岛”、“金鸡叫天门”等。这些怪石有的是庞然大物，有的奇巧玲珑;有的独立成景，有的是几个组合或同奇松巧妙结合成景。还些怪石因为观赏位置和角度变了，模样儿也就有了变化，成了一石二景，如“金鸡叫天门”又叫“五老上天都”，“喜鹊登梅”又叫“仙人指路”就是移步换景的缘故。也还有些怪厂，在不同条件下看，会产生不能的联想，因而也就有了不同的名字，如“猴子观海”又叫“猴子望太平”便是。

再说云海。虽然在中国其它名山也能看到云海，但没有一个能比得上黄山云海那样壮观和变幻无穷。大约就是这个缘故，黄山还有另外一个名字，叫“黄海”。这可不是妄称，是有历史为证的。明朝有位著名的史志学家叫潘之恒，在黄山住了几十年，写了一部60卷的大部头书--黄山山志，书名就叫《黄海》。黄山的一些景区、宾馆和众多景观的命名，都同这个特殊的“海”有关联，有些景观若在云海中观赏，就会显得更加真切，韵味也更足了。这些也都证明，“黄海”这个名字是名副其实的。

最后，介绍一下温泉。我们常讲的和游览的温泉是前山的黄山宾馆温泉，古时候又叫汤泉，从紫石峰涌出。用它命名的温泉景区，是进入黄山南大门后最先到达的景区。温泉水量充足，水温常年保持在42度左右，水质良好，并含有对人体有益的矿物质，有一定的医疗价值，对皮肤病，风湿病和消化系统的疾病，确有一定的疗效。但是只能浴，不能饮;过云说它可以饮用，是不科学的。

为人所不知的是黄山还有第五绝，那就是冬雪，轻盈的雪花纷纷扬扬，夹带着云雾，伴随着山风没在山恋上追逐，在深谷中飞腾。黄山骤然间换了模样，满目的苍绿不见了，到处朴树迷离，一切都是显得晶莹透亮。古人形容说：“一夜寒风起，万树银华开。”整个黄山宛如一个银色的世界，仿佛身处水晶宫。 除了“五绝”之外，黄山的瀑布、日出和晚霞，也是十分壮观和奇丽的。

Friends, Hello! Now that we have arrived at the Huangshan scenic area south of city of tangkou. Here to give you some information about Huangshan scenerys profile.

The yellow mountain, located in the southern part of Anhui Province, is part of the nanling mountains, China, the whole mountain area is about 1200 square kilometers. Middle section of the Huangshan mountains, are the best parts of the yellow mountain, we also want to visit Huangshan scenic area, covering an area of about 154 square kilometers. It internally in Huangshan city, South o she County, Huizhou district, xiuning County and Yixian County, North Huangshan District; the five counties, districts are under the jurisdiction of Huangshan city. Huangshan in China before the Tang dynasty named Black Mountain, black is black, blue black blue black rocks on the Hill, the ancients gave it this name. Legend of Chinese ancestors Emperor Huangdi in the us following the completion of Zhongyuan harmonized working, creating Chinese civilization, came here to herb of immortality, bath in the hot springs, which attained the immortal. Famous Tang dynasty of Emperor Ming Huang Li long JI is believe it, in tempo, six years (747) under the edict, rename the Black Mountain Huangshan. Mean, this mountain is a mountain of Yellow Emperor. From then on, the name Huangshan has been up to now.

Friends, not far from thousands of you, even miles here, will do down and take a look at the beauty of Huangshan? Isnt it just to feel a life happy? Yes, Huangshan is a beautiful beautiful, can be said that the mountain of the day, be able to climb it, and see that it is indeed a great joy in life. In a long, long time ago, in a long geological history, natures infinite force, shaped Huangshan the exquisite elegance and all sorts of exotic landscapes, stunning, is enchanted.

Here, I put the yellow mountain “four unique” respectively, made a presentation.

Speaking of Huangshan mountain “four”, ranked first was pine. Huangshan songqi in what place? First of all, is singular in its strong vitality, where soil-vegetation and crops, and Ponderosa are long out of the yellow gang of hard rock. Huangshan pines everywhere, they peak, long cliffs, long in shenhe Valley, lush and vibrant. For thousands of years, this is how they burst out from rock, root deep into the crevices of rocks, not afraid of marginal arid, without fear of rain and snow storm, Selsun, tieguzhengzheng. Can you say do not odd? Secondly, Huang Shansong also singular in its unique natural style. In General, Huang Shansong conifer stubby dense, dark green leaf color, branches with curved, Crown flat, showing a simple, robust, powerful and imposing, but every pine tree, each strain pine on the looks, sapling, and spirit, all different, there is a strange beauty. People according to their different patterns and romantic charm, respectively, give them appropriate natural and elegant and interesting names, such as welcoming pine, black tiger pine, pine Pinus, Dragon claw, in Wolong research on Korean pine Pinus, unity, and so on. They are the

Huangshan pine representatives.

Stone, is constituted of scenery in Huangshan mountain and a “must”. In Huangshan everywhere you can see strange and odd-shaped rock, these stones vary, some people, some like, some of it reflects some myths and legends and historical stories, vivid, lively and interesting. Stone at 121, the popularity of higher “flying stone”, “fairy play”, “magpie”, “sea monkey view”, “immortal Sun boots”, “three Penglai island” and “Rooster call gate”.

These rocks have a behemoth, some of Kit Kat exquisite; separate scenes, sometimes combining several ingeniously combined with pine or King. Some formations for viewing location and angle had changed, also changed, became a stone of the second King, such as the “golden rooster called heaven” also called the “five old God”, “magpie” also known as “fairy Guide” is a moving account of the change of scenery. Also had some strange plants, under different conditions, not Lenovo, therefore has a different name, such as “sea monkey view” also known as “monkey Wang Taiping” is.

Clouds again. Although clouds can also see other mountains in China, but none can match the spectacular Huangshan clouds and is constantly changing. About this, there is another name of Huangshan, known as “yellow”. Its not in vain, there is historical evidence. Famous Shi Zhixue called Pan Zhiheng of the Ming dynasty, lived in Huangshan mountain for decades, wrote a voluminous book of 60 volumes--Huangshan mountain records, titles of the Yellow Sea.

Huangshan scenic spots, hotels and many other landscape named with this special “sea” Association, some landscape ornamental in the clouds, to be even more true, charm was also more. These have proved that the “Yellow Sea” that is worthy of the name.

Finally, tell us about the hot springs. We often say, and before the tour of hot springs is the Huangshan Mountain Hotel Spa, in ancient times called tangquan, from purple Pinnacle emission. Named with its hot spring scenic spot, is the first to arrive after entering the southern gate of Huangshan scenic spot. Hot spring water is sufficient, water temperatures remained at about 42 degrees year-round, water well, and contains useful minerals for the human body, there are some medical value, skin diseases, rheumatism and diseases of the digestive system, does have a certain effect. But only bath, you cannot drink; said it is drinkable, is not science.

Known unknown is a fifth of Huangshan must, its winter and snow, snowflakes swirl of light, clamp with mist, accompanied by the mountain breeze didnt love chasing the mountain, fly in a ravine. Huangshan suddenly changed his appearance, land of pale green is gone, Park trees everywhere blurred, everything is shining brilliantly. The ancients described: “one night, chilling trees YINHUA opened. ”Yellow mountain like a silver world as a whole, as if being in a Crystal Palace.

In addition to “land with five unique features”, the waterfall of the yellow mountain, Sunrise and sunset, are spectacular and strange.

Paris has long inspired opinionated outbursts, from delusional to denouncing, but on one matter travelers remain in agreement: its among the most stimulating cities in the world. Paris assaults all the senses, demanding to be seen, heard, touched, tasted and smelt. from luminescent landmarks to fresh poodle droppings on the pavement, the city is everything it should be - the very essence of all French things. If you come here expecting all youve heard to be true, you wont leave disappointed.

Paris is at its best during the temperate spring months (March to May), with autumn coming in a close second. In winter, there are all sorts of cultural events to tempt the visitor, but school holidays can clog the streets with the little folk. August is usually hot and sticky, and its also when many Parisians take their yearly vacations, so businesses are likely to be closed.

Musée du Louvre

Louvre is probably one of the most world-renowned sightseeing places in Paris. This enormous building, constructed around 1200 as a fortress and rebuilt in the mid-16th century for use as a royal palace, began its career as a public museum in 1793. As part of Mitterands grands projets in the 1980s, the Louvre was revamped with the addition of a 21m (67ft) glass pyramid entrance. Initially deemed a failure, the new design has since won over those who regard consistency as inexcusably boring. Vast scrums of people puff and pant through the rooms full of paintings, sculptures and antiquities, including the Mona Lisa, Venus de Milo and Winged Victory (which looks like its been dropped and put back together). If the clamor becomes unbearable, your best bet is to pick a period or section of the Louvre and pretend that the rest is somewhere across town.

Eiffel Tower

This towering edifice was built for the World Fair of 1889, held to commemorate the centennial of the French Revolution. Named after its designer, Gustave Eiffel, it stands 320m (1050ft) high and held the record as the worlds tallest structure until 1930. Initially opposed by the citys artistic and literary elite - who were only affirming their right to disagree with everything - the tower was almost torn down in 1909. Salvation came when it proved an ideal platform for the antennas needed for the new science of radio telegraphy. When youre done peering upwards through the girders, you can visit any of the three public levels, which can be accessed by lift or stairs. Just south-east of the tower is a grassy expanse that was once the site of the worlds first balloon flights and is now used by teens as a skateboarding arena or by activists bad-mouthing Chirac.

Cowherd Ferry

Cowherd Ferry, located on the Chengcha Lake is a stone across the river, which seems like a little bridge, helping people across the river. Because after crossing Chengcha River, one will be able to gaze until of the Weaver Girl Peak, so has its name. Their love story found evidence in Changbai Mountain. Moreover, The lying cow shaped boulder engraved with three characters "Cowherd Ferry". Today, many young people take photo here to show their unwavering love. It has become a love stone.

The construction of the Yamen here started in 1303 in Yuan Dynasty, and thepresent buildings were built in Qing Dynasty. It was the most well preservedgovernment office of country level in feudal China. Since our opening up to theoutside world in 1984, it has attracted a number of our government officials andvisitors form both at home and abroad because of its special history, science,attractive value and its own charm. We have the famous saying : Beijing is thedragonhead while the dragon’s tail is in Neixiang. It is also one of theimportant cultural relics of state level.

The front part building of the Yamen was called a screen wall, which wasbuilt with blue brick relief sculpture. In the middle of the screen, there is astrange beast, which is called “Tan”. It was said to be a greedy beast thatcould swallow gold and silver treasures in the legend. Here in the picture wecan see that around it there are treasures everywhere. But he is not satisfied.His mouth opens widely intending to swallow the sun in the sky, but as a result,he falls off the steep cliff, having his body smashed into pieces. The pictureon the screen was first created by Zhu Yuanzhang, the founder of the MingDynasty. The purpose of the drawing is to warn the government officials not totake bribes and break the law. Here is the main entrance, halfway there isanother gate right in the middle, called Yimen, the second main officialentrance. It used to be open only on the day when new governor took his place orwhen higher official came to visit. On both sides of the second gate, there’retwo small doors, the one on the east was called Life door, while the one on thewest was called Death door, or Ghost door, which was used only by the criminalswhen they were sentenced to death and were going to be killed. Passing throughYimen, you can see a grand building here in front of you . That is the greathall. The great hall was the place where the governor of the county announcedthe government orders, and also some important ceremonies were held here andsome important and serious criminal cases were tried here. In the middle of it,a trial desk was placed, and on the desk, the four treasures of the study andthe red and green bamboo pieces used for trial could be found. On the front sideof the screen, there’s a picture of seawater, tide and the sun, meaning that anofficial should be as clear as the sun and the moon and as clean as seawater. Inother words, an official should be honest and upright. When the prosecutor andthe defendant were taken to the hall for trial, they must kneel down on thestones. The square stone on the east was for the prosecutor, and the rectanglestone on the west was for the accused. Since most cases

involved more defendants, the stone for them was longer then. The housebehind the great hall was called doorman house. The man who guarded the housewas called Doorman, who was the county governor’s relative or people who wereclose to him. Now we have come to the second hall. It was the place where theCounty Magistrate dealt with small cases. Please look at these famous couplets,which means that before law everyone is equal. So the judges should pass thefairest judgment on people. This is called Fuzi Yard, an ancient form of addressto a Confucian scholar or to a master by his disciples. Fuzi was usually theofficial’s assistant who was usually their close friend of knowledgeable andartistic talent. Everyone, including the county governor respectfully addressedhim as Lao Fuzi, so the place where Fuzi worked was called Fuzi Yard. Finally,let’s go to the third hall. It was the place where county governor did his dailywork. If the cases he dealt with were of great importance, he would do it here.There was also a garden behind. It was here that county governor enjoyed hisfree life and got away from his government affairs. As we can see now, there’remany succinct couplets with rich intension here. But this one before the thirdhall was the most famous. It was written by GaoYigong , a county governor inNeixiang county. It means that being the local officials, we rearded the commonpeople as our parents. We worked for them voluntarily and willingly.Nowadays ,many of our Party leaders like Chairman Jiang Zemin read it with deep feelings,and Premier Zhu Rongji sings high praise of it. The words can be no doubtregarded as famous saying and epigram, and the only one of its kind. So now theYmen in Neixiang, together with the Museum Palace in Beijing, and the other twoin Hebei and Shanxi, has formed a special international tore route of the fourgreat ancient Chinese Yamens. Neixiang is now going out of Henan and into theworld. We warmly welcome all the reiends from all over the world to visitNeixiang, and enjoy the elegant demeanor of the ancient Yamen.
