爱华网黄山英文导游词
Good afternoon! Ladies and gentlemen! Today, with such great joy, on behalf of Anhui Travel Agency. I’d like to extend our warm welcome to all of you, our distinguished guest from the other side of the Pacific. Please allow me to introduce myself. My name is Li Xin and I work for Anhui Travel Agency .During your short stay in Huangshan, I’ll be your local guide. It’s my honor to be of your service. If you have any request, go ahead! I’ll try my best to help you and make your stay comfortable!
Now, I want to say something about your itinerary. You will be here for about 3 days. During these days, you’ll enjoy not only the beautiful scenery of Huangshan Mountain, but also the ancient Huizhou-Culture!
First, we’ll visit the most beautiful scenery—Mt.Huangshan.
Ok, we’re heading for the main gate of Huangshan. It’s about 1.5 hour’s bus ride. On the way you can enjoy the beautiful scenery and I’d like to give you a brief introduction about Mt.Huangshan.
Huangshan is probably the most notable mountain in China. It’s located in the South of Anhui Province, and the main scenic area covers 154 square kilometers. Mt.Huangshan is well-known 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 in 1990, and also listed as a world geological garden in 2005, which is unique in China!
In ancient times, Mt.Huangshan known as Mt.Yishan because the mountain is formed by granite which looks black and grey, and Yi in old Chinese means “black”, hence the name. But it renamed Mt.Huangshan in 747 AD in recognition of the legendary Huangdi, 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 China’s most important mountains which we can also call them the five holy mountains. It’s said that you won’t want to visit any other mountains after seeing the five holy mountains but you won’t wish to see even the five holy mountains after returning from Mt.Huangshan. This saying which said by Xuxiake, a famous traveler over 400 years ago may give us some idea of the beauty and uniqueness of Mt.Huangshan.
Now, after my introduction, are you expecting to feel the graceful bearing! Be patient! There’s only half an hour before we arriving. Let’s continue.
Within so large area, there is a crowd of peaks, 72 of which have names indicating the shapes they resemble. Lotus, Brightness Top and Celestial Capital are the three major ones, all rising above 1,800 meters above sea level. And it’s well-known for its four wonders, ( I think some of you know some about it, who knows?) Yeah, they are the oddly-shaped pine trees., fantastic rocks, sea of clouds and hot springs. Now, people also add to the winter snow as the fifth wonder. Here I will not introduce one by one and soon you’ll enjoy with your own eyes. Mt.Huangshan changes its color and appearance with the alternation of seasons, now it’s winter, and we will keep ourselves into a crystal world of frost and ice with sliver boughs and rocks everywhere. Don’t be excited, everybody! As a matter of fact there are marvels almost everywhere, especially in the following scenic areas. Hot Spring, Jade Screen Tower, West Sea, North Sea, Cloud Valley Temple and Pine Valley Nunnery.
Eyes front! Ladies and gentlemen, the colorful archway across the street is the main gate of Huangshan. We’ll go directly to the North Sea Scenic Area, which is the most important scenic area! So never miss it!
Ok, here we are, seeing is believing, let’s get off the bus and bring your camera.
The first sight that comes to us is Yungu Temple, here we’ll take Yungu Cable-car to White Goose Bridge. It’s about ten minutes. Oh, come on, then follow me, walk downstairs to Start-to-Believe Peak. Along the way we can see several famous Huangshan Pines: Black Tiger Pine, Couple Pine, Dragon’s Claw Pine and so on. Now, before we climb to the top of Peak Start-to-Believe, for a breathtaking outlook, that is Bamboo-Shoot Peak. Do you see? You surely can take a picture.
En, Next destination after Start-to-Believe is Peak Lion, let’s go! It’s shaped like a sleeping lion from a point of view in North Sea Hotel. Ok, here is Dawn-Light Pavilion, you can see a group of interesting rocks: You see two in the middle resembling two celestials playing chess, on the left is a man in packback, and on the right is a onlooker—a Chinese ancient official who watch play. You can see carefully and do you think so? Then we’ll reach a Refreshing Terrace, and you can view a fan—shaped pine cling to the cliff beneath the terrace a nice crowd of pines, a column of stone looking like a person with a big pen, Peak Rooster and Peak Rise surrounding you.
Arriving at the destination—on the top of Lion Peak, you can see a rock like a monkey on the flat top of another hill. It’s a very famous rock: a monkey gazing at the sea when there is a sea of clouds.
I expect that after such a long visit you’d like a good rest, and here are the optimum places to see the sunrise. So now we can go back to the North Sea Hotel to have a rest.
Tomorrow we’ll visit Brightness Top, Lotus Peak which is the highest peak in Huangshan mountain, and the most famous spot—Guest-Greeting Pine, and which is also the sign of Huangshan.
Ok, ladies and gentlemen, now our itinerary is all finished. First of all, on behalf of my company, my Chinese colleagues and myself, I’d like to take this opportunity to express my thanks for your consideration, understanding, tolerance and cooperation.
A few days ago, we met as total strangers, but today, you leave as my friends. I’ve tried my best to satisfy your needs and explained to you what I know about Huangshan Mountain. However, there are probably still some unfulfilled requests. I hope you’ll leave your comments and suggestion so that we can better our service in the future.
