16.燕窝岭:燕南岭一带时常飞来一些黑燕,并在沿岸的悬崖峭壁上做窝,故而得名,如刀削斧劈般的一截岸壁巨石直插海底场面壮观,这里也是春日赏花(杜鹃)和休闲垂钓的理想场所。
17.北大桥,滨海路上的桥,又称情侣桥、吉祥桥,为纪念大连与日本北九州市结为友好城市而建的三跨悬索桥全长230米,滨海路也是一条浪漫情人路,滨城多数“终成眷属”的有情人婚礼当日都来此下车携手一游,如两对新人于桥上相遇,则互赠手帕,10分钟左右,市内路线必去,影视剧多在此取景.18.棒槌岛国宾馆区及海水浴场(20元),异国情调的别墅群及海水浴场,位于大连市滨海路东段,大连市东南约5公里处,是一处以山、海、岛、滩为主要景观的风景胜地。这里三面环山,一面濒海,北面为群山环绕,南面是开阔的海域和平坦的沙滩,棒槌岛名字的来历是因离岸500米远处的海面上有一小岛突兀而立,远远望去,极象农家捣衣服用的一根棒槌,故称棒槌岛,岛上主峰海拔53.1米,登临其上,市区景色和海滨风光尽收眼底。岛上散布着风格各异的别墅群,有如鲜花散落在如茵的草地上,这就是著名的棒槌岛国宾馆区,亚洲地区最大的森林国宾馆,既可游览,又可入住,房价是贵些却有诸多的与众不同,当年是国家领导人避暑疗养之地,里面房租不便宜,风景不错,海边风景非常好

(二)金石滩景区:
金石滩在距离在大连市区北75公里开发区那里,市内至金石滩仅需50分钟,游玩至少需一天的时间,主要以海水浴为主。还有发现王国游乐场,地质公园,蜡像馆等。这些景点都在火车站附近有快轨和旅游大巴往返,单程票价8元和15元。
1.金石滩国家旅游度假区(金石滩地质公园):位于辽东半岛黄海之滨,距大连市中心50公里。1988年,被确定为国家级风景名胜区。金石滩,以高尔夫球场为中心的度假区,具“神力雕塑公园”之称 “绅士乐园”之誉;这里有一流的阳光海滩、垂钓岛礁、度假酒店别墅,这里有顶级的高尔夫球场、国际游艇俱乐部和狩猎场,这里 空气清新,海水纯净,主要环境指标均优于国家一类标准。金石滩度假区的石头是中国仅有的、世界上罕见的、地球上不能再生的。6亿年前的地壳运动在这里再现,在这里我们可以看到金石缘、玫瑰园、“恐龙探海”、“贝多芬头像”、“ 龟裂石”、“神龟寻子”等粉红色的礁石、金黄色的石头、独具特色的龟裂石,这些奇石非人力所为,而是大自然鬼斧神工的创造,是中国北方最理想的海滨旅游度假圣地。黄金海岸海水浴场等,还有盆景园、赏石馆、蜡像馆、打猎场等人文景观,240分钟。
2.金石滩发现王国,在金石滩,发现王国这名字很贴切,尤其是对初次来的游客,站在诺大的广场举目四望,那边的身着光鲜亮丽的卡通形象刚夺了你的眼球,这方的腾越翻转的过山车又抢了你的目光;右边的尖叫声引你前去观望的时候,左边又传来了不绝的赞叹声,一切都那么新鲜,一切都值得你去发现。公园门口的特色小店流露出浓郁的欧洲风情,走在小路上,它们的如积木般光鲜亮丽的外表,让人驻足欣赏。当注意了每家店铺的名字后,又会被这充满新意的构思所折服。迈步进入店铺瞧瞧逛逛,感觉同时拥有英国老街上的闲适节奏和美国时尚街头的蓬勃朝气,里面的像城堡,大多是比较刺激的游戏,适合年轻人玩,还有各种风情表演和特技表演等,内容丰富,不过里面的食品很贵,最好自己带些食物进去,人多的时候排队的现象也比较恐怖。园区分为六大景区,分别是疯狂小镇、神秘沙漠、金属工厂、魔法森林、传奇城堡和婚礼殿堂。其中,每个小主题公园都融入了不同历史时期和不同地域文化的不同建筑,歌舞表演,商品餐饮,娱乐设施等,而且每个主题区都有一个故事线贯穿其中。比如在传奇城堡中有个“鬼屋”,它是一个结合3个不同游乐设施的项目:“神秘游戏屋”(展示具有趣味性的小机件,类似“信不信由你”)、“莫林秘密实验室”(令游客在其中感受到无法预期的旋转)及“亚瑟王的圆桌”(石中剑的故事,并凭借旋转与平面下降的地板体验离心力的奥妙),整个故事线是让游客参观一个中古世纪的博物馆。游客从一个房间换到另一个房间,直到他们被“鬼”所捉到。
3.金石高尔夫球场,一面依山,三面环海,位于金石滩国家旅游度假区内,是国内罕见的海滨球场,堪称是镶嵌 在“北方明珠”上的一颗绿宝石,金石高尔夫球场的建筑均由加拿大引进的冷杉原木组装而成,古朴典雅,充满异国情调,这里的配套设施也一应俱全:会馆、宾馆、高级别墅、五星级酒店、儿童游乐场、海滩浴场、直升飞机停机场等。
4.十里黄金海岸,是国内第一个全部使用防紫外线设施的健康型海滨浴场,上千个沙滩凉亭、帐篷、阳伞或是用无污染的草做顶篷,或用防太阳黑子材料。十里海岸沙质金黄,颗粒均匀,浴场水质属一类海域,优于大连市中心地区的海水浴场。1999年8月,原国家主席江泽民到大连视察时,亲临金石滩在现国宾浴场下海畅游,并为金石滩题字“大连金石滩”。度假区于2001年5月完成了对原有海岸的修整扩建,现在的黄金海岸绵延4.5公里,宽100-200米,北方最大,可同时容纳10万人。海滩之上还增建了高杆广场灯,形成夜间灯光浴场(开放至晚10点)。
(三)旅顺口景区:距大连市区50多公里的旅顺口景区主要是历史景点,得一天行程。
(四)冰峪风景区:冰峪风景区,素有“辽南桂林”之美誉,蜚声海内外,被誉为“天然动植物王国”的辽宁仙人洞国家森林公园,是庄河市又一旅游胜地,与冰峪相邻,这里珍禽野兽,奇花异草多达上千种,六百多公顷的赤松林风不仅亚洲乃至世界上都堪称一绝,冰峪被冠以“辽南小桂林”、“东北九寨沟”、“东方小瑞士”的美称,冰峪的山既有北方山岭粗犷豪放的气势,又有南国峰峦玲珑秀美的风姿,其中最著名的要数龙华山腰的仙人洞,洞内有道佛两家寺庙,日日香烟缭绕故而得名,在冰峪众多的沟谷中,可以游览的主要有南沟和北沟,大自然的美景妙韵仿佛全浓缩在这里。
1.仙峪湾海滨度假区,有东北最好的海滨浴场—浴美人浴场,辽南最大的十八罗汉庙—观海寺,复州八景之一的水泡荷风,海上明珠—情人岛,度假区还有钓鱼池、森林野营园、深海鱼养殖基地等众多景点。仙浴湾有“东北明珠”之称;情人岛又被称为浴美人更衣岛,从长达820米的吊桥可徒步走上情人岛,情人岛与浴场相距1公里, 情人岛是辽宁省唯一的海滨型国家AAA级旅游度假区-仙浴湾的重要组成部分,享有"海上明珠"之誉,情人岛原名叫耗坨,是仙浴湾西部海域中一个美丽的小岛,遥望该岛就像一只耗子卧在海面上,故得名为“耗坨”。
2.安波温泉:旅游好地方,在大连郊区普兰店,两天一夜,中国第一温泉,可结合冰峪沟安排二晚三日游!3.冰峪沟(100元):冰峪沟在庄河境内,比金石滩还远,主要是看山水,一般都是2天行程。旅游好地方!在大连郊区-庄河,两天一夜差不多,素有辽南小桂林之称。清新自然、风光无限。离市区行车180分钟,当天往沟内,既有十八家子的纯朴民风,也有准三星酒店的豪华舒适,当后半夜三点鸡叫寅时,当黎明的曙光照进窗帘,久住都市的人啊,你会感到另有一番情趣!
二、大连的海滨浴场: 大连的海水浴场很多,但由于地理位臵不同,海水的深浅和周围环境不同,游泳要特别注意安全。由于潮汛的关系,对滩底平缓和水深程度都会有一定影响,要有所注意。另外游泳时要特别注意呛水,为了安全起见,最好到管理比较好的海水浴场游泳,因为那里有一定保护措施和救援人员。此外,8月份海中海蜇开始增多,下海前最好准备点明矾或者浓肥皂水,万一被蛰可缓解疼痛。
1.秀月峰:秀月峰区内的海水浴场规模不大,相对临近的付家庄而言要清静的多,秀月山庄是滨城不多的”卧枕听涛”式酒店。

Good morning!ladies and gentlemen:
Today we will go and visit the yuelu academy!yuelu academy is one of the four famous academies in china, and it was established by zhudong, magistrate of tanzhou prefecture in 976a.d at the time of northern song dynasty.the academy accepted disciples throughout the song, yuan, ming and qing dynasties.it was only in 1903 that the academy was transformed from a school of traditional confucian learning to an insitute of higher learning and in 1926 it was officially named hunan university.Early in 1015, emperor zhen zong of the song dynasty awarded the academy hid majesty“s own handwriting ”yuelu academy“ on a tablet.form then on many famous scholars and great thinkers gave lectures here, among them were zhangshi, zhuxi and wangyangming, thus making a great impact on the province”s culture and education.most of the existing buildings here were constructions of the ming and qing dynasties, and the bulk of the engraved stone plates and inscribed tablets have all been kept intact, in 1956 the academy was listed as a historical site at the provincial level and later, in 1988 it became a historical site at the state level.the last restoration project started in 1981 and the major part was completed in 1987.Now, here we are at the “he xi platform”, “he xi” means the “the splendour of the sunrise”, it was named by zhuxi, a great idealist philosopher of the confucian school during the song dynasty, the platform was first built on the top of yuelu hill, by zhanshi, and later in 1528, a pavilion was built on it, but it became deserted with the passing time.in 1790 luodian, the master of the academy, built a platform at the present site, in 1820, the succeeding master, ouyang houjun, renamed it “he xi platform” in order to memory zhuxi and zhanshi.it was restored in 1868.On the inner walls of the platform are two big chinese characters “fu” and “shuo”, which mean “blessing” and “longevity” respectively.legend has it that the character “shuo ”was written with a broom soaked in yellow mud by a taoist master at the time master luodian was attending a banquet in honour of the examination officials and those dispels who had passed the civil exam hence it has been regarded as having “celestial touch” the character “fu” was written by luodian, the master himself.This gate in front of us is the main gate, the gate was formerly built at the time of the song dynasty, and was then called “central gate”.the main gate underwent both destruction and reconstruction in the course of time.the present structure was once thoroughly renovated in 1868.The characters “yuelu academy” on the horizontal tablet were inscribed by emperor zhen zong of the song dynasty.it was presented as an award to zhoushi, the master of the academy, when he was summoned to the emperor“s presence.on both door posts are couplets which read ”the kingdom of chu, unique home of the talents, the academy of yuelu, the very cradle of all “.it was composed in the qing dynasty by the master of the academy, yuan jiangang and his disciple zhang renjie.This gate was the second gate, it was first built in 1527 during the ming dynasty.it underwent repairs and restoration many times.it was completely devastated during the anti-japanese war.in 1984, the gate was restored to its former state.This is the lecture hall, where the students had lessons here, it was first built at the time of the song dynasty and was once named ”jing yi hall“.now, it has a more elaborate name ”the hall of the loyalty, filiality honesty and integrity“, because on the inner walls of the hall are engraved four big chinese characters:” loyalty, filiality, honesty and integrity.they were handwriting by the great scholar, zhuxi, who once lectured here.others, such as the school regulations, the administrations and way to read were masterpieces of the masters of the academy.on the two horizontal tablets hanging on top were written:
“Learn before you can probe the infiniteness of the universe.”
“The doctrines taught here in the south are genuine confucian doctrines.”
They were inscribed by the emperor kangxi and qianlong respectively during the qing dynasty.The building in front of us is the yushu library, “yushu” literally means “imperial books”, so yushu library ,built in 999a.d in the early song dynasty, was a place to keep imperial books.books were continuously sent here during the succeeding dynasties.the library was first named “classics treasuring house” in the song dynasty, “classic venerating house” in the yuan and ming dynasties, and finally “yushu library” in the qing dynasty,.it had been repaired and expanded many times, and now it has a collection of over twenty thousand chinese classics.this building was rebuilt on its original site in 1986.The two small pavilions xi quan and ni lan , built during the song and ming dynasties, were restored to the right and left of the compound galleries in order to display cultural relics.
第五篇:颐和园英文导游词-重要景点英文介绍(模版)
The summer palace(颐和园)HIstory: It has a history of over 800 years, which goes back to the Liao& Jin Dynasty.Firstly in Jin Dynasty, it was built to be a temporary palace, named Golden Hill and Golden Water Pond;Then in Yuan Dynasty, the Emperor Kublai Khan(忽必烈可汗)intent to develop the water transportation system, to response, water was brought from Shenshan Mountain to the Jade Spring Hill and then to Jar Hill Pond;In Ming Dynasty, as the 10th emperor was quite fond of the outstanding sceneries here, he ordered to build an imperial residence by the lake.From then on, the beautiful place with natural hill, neat pond and colorful botany became an ideal place for emperor.The name of “The summer palace” was indeed given by express Cixi, who loved here very much.She embezzled the navy funds to have the palace rebuilt under the excuse of setting up a navy academy inside.This led to big budget deficit in economy and what was worse resulted in Chinese defeat in the Sino Japanese War in 1894.To avoid war in 1902, Cixi escaped to Xi’an with the emperor Guangxu.The summer palace, as we can image, was badly destroyed and ransacked at that moment.When Cixi returned after the war, she spared no effort to rebuild the palace and came to live here every year from April to October.The summer palace today is more or less the same look as it was rebuilt in 1903.Reputation: Over the past 50 years, Chinese Government has spent lots of money to renovating it.In 1988, the summer palace was listed as a World Culture Heritage Site by UNESCO.Difference with The Forbidden City: The roofs here are covered with plain bluish gray tiles in harmony with the landscape.So it looks more like a garden than an imperial court.1: the East Palace Gate(东宫门)
It is the main entrance of the summer palace.In ancient times, only emperor and empress can go through the central gate because of rigid hierarchy.We can see the relief style carving depicts two dragons playing with a pearl.It symbolizes the emperor’s dignity.2: The Hall of Benevolence and Longevity(仁寿殿)The hall was a political area for emperor to handle state affairs.The name of this hall came from Lun yu’s saying” those who are benevolent can enjoy a long life.”
Look at this monster, it’s name is Bronze Qilin(铜麒麟).Qilin is regarded as one of the 9 sons of the dragon, which embodies power and bravery.Qilin has the head of dragon, antlers of dear, hooves of an ox, tail of a lion and the body of a fish with scales all over it.This creature is believed to detect any disloyal subjects.Another famous spot is the Long Life Well(延年井), it is said once Express Cixi once got heatstroke when she was in the Summer Palace, she quickly recovered herself after drinking the water here and gave the name for the wishes of long life.3:Long Corridor(长廊)The long corridor is about 728 meters long with 273 sections.It is the longest, biggest and most famous one in China and even in the world.There are totally 14,000 paintings and pictures painted on the beams and crossbeams.What attracts me most is that each of these paintings is almost different from the other!So it is really art gallery!The colorful paintings on the beams include landscapes, scenic spots, human figures, stories, flowers, birds and so on.Most of These figures were copied from beautiful sceneries in Hangzhou.That is because during the inspection trips to the south of China, Emperor Qianlong was deeply attracted by the splendid sceneries there, in order to keep long memory , he order the painters to draw them on the ceiling of the long corridor for regular visit.To added, the Long Corridor was also a birthday gift that Emperor Qianlong gave to his mother.In 1990, the Long Corridor was listed in the Guinness World Records as the longest painted corridor in the world.In 1998, it was listed as a world Culture Heritage Site by UNESCO.4:The Hall of Jade Ripples(玉澜堂)In the late Qing Dynasty, it was Emperor Guangxu’s private living quarters。But after the failure of the Reform Movement in 1898, it has become a forbidden area, just like a prison, that Emperor Guangxu was under the house arrest for 10 years here till he died in the age of 38.5: The Hall of Happiness and Longevity(乐寿堂)It was Empress Cixi’s residence and she came to live here from April to October every year during the rest of her lifetime.This hall consists of 4 chambers, including breakfast and tea room, dressing room, bedroom and her office.Cixi was ratter crazy about luxurious life so that she requested fancy food, porcelain plate(瓷器盘), embroideries(刺绣),chandeliers(水晶灯)etc.6: The front Hill Area(前山景区)
The front Hill Area includes the Gate of Dispelling Clouds(排云门), The Hall of Dispelling Clouds(排云殿), The Tower of Buddhist Incense(佛香阁)and the Temple of the Sea of Wisdom(智慧海)。Express Cixi used to come and worship Gods in the Tower of Buddhist Incense on the 1st and 15th day of each lunar month when she was living in the Summer Palace.In the Temple of the Sea of Wisdom ,the statue of Guanyin Bodhisattva is enshrined in the center.This temple is the highest point of Longevity Hill.7:Marble Boat(石舫)
It is located at the end of the Long Corridor, near the Stone Pavilion.Emperor Qianlong built this Marble Boat based on a story that happened in Tang Dynasty.Wei Zheng , the prime minister in Emperor Li Shimin’s period, once said that ”Water can carry a boat, and it can also capsize a boat”.Here , “Water” represented common people and “Boat” indicated the Tang Dynasty Court.Emperor Qianlong built this marble boat for the purpose of keeping the stability of Qing Dynasty forever.8:The back Hill Area(后山景区)
This part includes the Four Great Regions(四大部洲),Suzhou Shopping Street(苏州街)and The Garden of Harmonious Interest(谐趣园).Emperor Qianlong made several inspection tours to South China during his lifetime, and he was totally impressed by the beautiful sceneries, commercial prosperity of shopping streets and gardens there.So after he came back , he ordered to built these structures imitating what he had seen in the South China.9: the 17-Arch Bridge(十七孔桥)It is the largest bridge in the Summer Palace.Seen from a distance, it really looks like a rainbow hanging across the water on the lake.This bridge is built in 1750, and it was believed that the bridge was the imitation of Marco Polo Bridge, but more beautiful.Why 17 arches? Because no matter which side you see the bridge from the left or right, the 9 arches is in the middle.As I have explained before, the number nine was the lucky number and favorite number in the ancient times.10 the pavilion of Haralding Spring(知春亭)
The pavilion stands on the islet in Kunming Lake.You see a number of willow trees and peach trees planted on the islet.This pavilion is embraced by water on all sides.When the peach trees blossom, people will know that warm spring has returned.There is also a famous saying describing this phenomenon “the duck knows first when the river becomes warm in early spring.” OK, as it is the best place to take pictures, I give you guys 15 minutes to have a short break.
