Welcome to Yunnan, Welcome to Tengchong! It’s my honor to be your guide. Today we are going to visit the volcanoes and hot springs in Tengchong, which are the most famous here.

As we will get there in a few minutes, first allow me to give you a brief intoduction of Tengchong. Tengchong is located in the southwest of China and occupies an area of 5800 square kilometers. There are 23 nationalities here, such as 汉、傣、回、白 nationalities and so on. When we mentioned Tengchong, three things will come into mind, which are: the volcanoes and hot springs having 10,000 years, the border city having 1,000 years and the fair of jade having 100 years.

Later we will get to the volcanoes and the hot spring, so now I can tell you something about the latter two ones. They all can reflect the long history Tengchong has. Tengchong is a city on boarder. And because of its location, it has been an important place for military reasons. And that’s a part of its history. It’s also regarded as the county of manners, and it is the hometown of so many famous people. And another part of its history is that Tengchong is one trade center of jade between China and Burma. So don’t forget to get a round to the jade fair. I think you will feel interested.

OK, everyone, here is the Library of the Volcanoes. Now let’s have a look at .The volcanoes in Tengchong are famous in China, and it’s one of the four groups of volcanoes in China. The strong extravasations are the cause of the landform of Tengchong. There is a lieder in Tengchong saying that:” Such a place Tengchong, nine in ten mountains have no peaks.” It’s very vivid, from that you can see so many volcanoes are in Tengchong. There are 97 volcanoes in Tengchong now with high value of tourism and scientific research.

And now let’s go to see the youngest volcano in Tengchong, we called it “打鹰” Mountain, which means hunting eagles. This volcano lies in the center of the whole place and stands in a height of more than 2600 meters. It looks sheer, tall and straight, just like the famous Fuji in Japan. And we always consider it to be Fuji second.

Everyone, pay attention to this kind of special stone. It looks like a very big stone, maybe it’s too heavy to carry. And now look at me, I can hold it easily. Aha, it’s light, lighter than I think. This kind of stone we call it “浮石”, which means a kind of stone can float on the water. It’s formed by the erupting of the volcanoes.

Everyone, please follow me. Now we will go to see the hot springs. There are all kinds of hot springs in Tengchong, which occupy a vast land. When you go there you can see a vaporous world just like a wonderland. The temperature of the water is very high. If you put an egg into the hot spring, after 10 minutes, you can get it out and eat it. Of course the taste is good, would you like to have a try?

Of course you can enjoy natural beauties as well. The pearl Spring drops big and small beads continuously, just like the pearls crawling in the plate. And 醉鸟 Swell, whoes name means letting the birds get drunk, has a strange function. When there are birds flying above it, the birds will fall down and fall asleep. It’s really interesting.

And after visiting these wonderful spots, we can have a rest, and maybe some of you want to have a bath in the hot spring. I suggest you do so, because the water here can cure disease which based on medical reasons.

300 hundred years ago, a famous traveler named 徐霞客 came here and was overwhelmed by the scenery of Volcanoes and Hot Springs, today the same scenery overmaster us.

广东英语导游词（概况）

Guangdong Province, bordering on the South China Sea, is located in the southernmost of China’s mainland. It adjoins Fujian Province on the east, Jiangxi and Hunan provinces on the north and Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region on the west, with Hong Kong and Macou lying to its south respectively on the east and west banks of the Pearl River estury. It covers an area of about 180,000 square kilometers of land and 420,000 square kilometers of sea with a total population of 94,500,000.

Located on the subtropical zone, Guangdong enjoys a mild climate and a rich rainfall, with an average annual temperate of 22.3℃ centigrade and a rainfall of 1,700 mm.

With Guangzhou as its capital, Guangdong Province now has jurisdiction over 21 prefecture-level cities, among which Shenzhen, Zhuhai and Shantou are the three earliest

Economic Special Zones opened to the outside world. Four prefectural cities-Chaozhou, Meizhou, Foshan and Zhaoqin-enjoy a reputation of “National Historical and Cultural City”.Moreover, there are still 19 cities or counties that have been awarded with the honorable title of “National Excellent Tourism City”.

During the Pre-Qin period, Guangdong area was inhabited by the NanYue ethnic people. Qin unified South China in 219 A.D. and set up Guilin, Xiangjun and Nanhai prefectures. Today’s Guangzhou is where the Nanhai Prefecture was located.

At the beginning of the Western Han Dynasy, a former Qin commanding general, Zhao Tuo by name, founded the first local state in the presentday Guangdong area, the Kingdom of Nanyue, thus promoting the fusion between the Han and the Yue ethnics and accelerating the social, economic and cultural progress in South China. Under the Wu Kingdom of the Three Kingdoms period, the region to the north of Hepu was named Guangzhou, which ruled the Nanhai, Changwu and Yulin prefectures. Hence, the name of “Guangzhou” came into being. At that time, China’s foreign trade channel starting from Panyu was established, which is the origin of the Maritime Silk Road.

In Ming Dynasty, Guangdong became one of the 13 provinces. The early Qing Dynasty inherited Ming’s system and set up Guangdong Province. The name of “Guangdong” was officially adopted. The government of Qing established Guangdong Customs in Guangzhou, which is the first official establishment of customs in the history of our country. The late Qing Dynasty witnessed the birth of national capitalism and national industry, and the “Westernization Movement” in which the Chinese people learned from the West in search of a road of wealth and power. With Kang Youwei and Liang Qichao as the leading exponents, the Bourgeois reformists wrote books to disseminate their ideas and popularize their reformist thoughts, which were

gradually developed into a political practice, and eventually led to a capitalist reform movement. Guangdong is also the original place of China’s modern revolution. Sun Yat-sen from Xiangshan county led and founded the first bourgeois political party in China: the Tong Meng

Hui(Revolutionary League). He led the Huanghua Gang Uprising, the Law-Protecting Movement and also successfully achieved the First Cooperation of the Communist Party and the Kuomintang. Sun Yat-sen was honored as “the Forerunner of Democratic Revolution” and “Father of the Republic of China”.

Since the 1980s, Guangdong, a place propitious for giving birth to great men, was the first province to open to the outside world and quickly became one of the most economically

developed regions in China, with an average per capita GDP exceeding 4000 US dollars. People’s living standard for the time reached the comparatively well-off level. Guangzhou Trade Fairs, established in 1957 and held in every April and October, is known as the “NO.1 Exhibition of China”.

The Pearl River Delta today has attained fruitful attainments. It has entered a new era of vigorous development.

In the long process of historical development, the unique Lingnan(the area covering Guangdong and Guangxi) culture has formed after the exchange, clash, and fusion of various cultures. In Guangdong Province, there exist three groups of people: Guangfu, Chao-shan, Kakka, which are corresponding to Guangfu culture, Chao-shan culture and Kakka culture respectively. The Guangfu group appeared the earliest, which lives in the Pearl River Delta and some other counties and cities in the middle and west part of Guangdong Province. The Kakka group can best reflect the fusion and transformation between Lingnan culture and Central Plain culture. It is distributed mainly over Meizhou region. The Kakkas have inherited the fine tradition from the Central Plain culture, such as practicing frugality, self-esteem and self-reliance, showing respect to teachers and attaching great importance to education. The Chao-shan group mainly lives in Chaozhou and Shantou. Chao-shan people are adventurous, innovative and ingenious. The significant feature distinguishing the three groups is their different dialects, that is, the

“Baihua”(the plain language) based on Guangzhou dialect, the Kakka language based on Meizhou dialect and the Chao-shan language based on Shantou local dialect. The minorities of Guangdong are distributed mainly in places like Liannan and Ruyuan districts. Local customs such as the Getang (the Singing Meet) and the Wooden Handle Lion of Yao nationality, the Eighth of April Festival and the Ox King Birthday Celebration of Zhuang nationality, as well as the Third of March Festival and the Second of February Festival of She nationality are of unique flavor. As a vehicle of Lingnan culture, the architectures in Guangdong are also distinctive. Folk buildings unique to the region all present distinct Lingnan characteristics, for example, the Xiguan big house and the arcaded building, the Hakka circular houses; buildings of social institutions, such as the Temple of South China Sea God, Foshan Ancestral Temple, the Chen Family Temple and the Panyu Academy; buildings of world cultural heritage such as the Kaiping watchtowers, and buildings for city defense such as the Xinhui Yanmen artillery fort and the Guangzhou Zhenhai Tower. The Lingnan garden, represented by Qinghui Garden, Ke Garden and

Yuyinshanfang Garden, together with Northern Garden and Suzhou Garden, are reputed as the “three major landscape gardens in China.”

The folk culture of Guangdong has strong regional features. The Cantonese Opera, Chao Opera and Opera are locally popular. The Lingnan art of potted landscape and bonsai is numbered as one of the five major styles in the country. Folk dance, dragon dance, lion dance and dragon boating all display special Lingnan flavors. Guangdong Embroidery, together with Suzhou Embroidery, Hunan Embroidery and Sichuan Embroidery, is known as one of the four famous embroideries in China. Guangdong ceramics, consisting of Guangzhou decorative porcelain, Shiwan pottery and Fengxi earthenware, had found a market overseas as early as the Tang

Dynasty. The delicate and exquisite Guangdong carving, including ivory carving, jade carving and wood carving, attains to unrivalled workmanship. Special crafts of Guangdong, such as Duan Ink-stone in Zhaoqing, paper-cut and lion-head making in Foshan, palm-leaf handicraft in Xinhui and lacquerware in Yangjiang, boast a long history and extremely high craftsmanship.

Guangzhou cuisine is one of the four major cuisines in China. As a Chinese saying goes, “to enjoy the best that life has to offer, one has to eat in Guangdong”. Guangdong cuisine consists of Guangzhou, Chaozhou and Dongjiang dishes. Guangzhou dishes are characterized by being light, fresh, tender, tasty and crisp. They are particular about color, aroma, taste and appearance. Chaozhou dishes excel in sea food, and especially in soup. Dongjiang dishes, also known as

Hakka dishes, using much meats for preparation, tend to be greasy and slightly salty. Of them, the most special is the earthenware pot casserole. Apart from the four major dishes, the great variety of local delicacies also enjoys great fame all over China.

The natural tourism resources of Guangdong are also varied and many. Among them, there is Mount Danxia, named World Geology Park by UNESCO; Yangchun Lingxiao Cave and

Zhaoqing Seven-star Crags, known for their karst landform; Ten-mile Silver Beach on Hailing Island in Yangjiang that has entered the Guinness Record for its expanse; Nansha

Newly-reclaimed Wetland Park in Guangzhou, a large-scale wetland reserve for mangrove;

Conghua Hotspring, Enping Hotspring and Zhuhai Imperial Hotspring, all effective in stimulating blood circulation and relaxing muscles and joints, providing skin care and keeping fit; Seven-star Crags and Mount Dinghu, listed in the first national places of interest; famous waterfalls such as Panlong Gorge Waterfall in Deqing, Baishuizhai Waterfall in Zeng Cheng, Mawei Waterfall at Mount Daxia; other special scenic spots such as the Small Three Gorges of Xijiang River, the Huangteng Gorge Drifting in Qingyuan, the underground river in Lianzhou, the Juren Village at Xiema, and Lingnan Water Country at Minzhong; and a large number of forest parks including Liuxi River Forest Part, Mount Xiqiao Forest Park Nanling National Forest Park, Nankunshan Forest Park, and Shimen Forest Bathing Place…

Guangdong is a major tourism province in China. In 2008, its tourism income witnessed a total of 246.1 billion RMB yuan, accounting roughly for one fourth of the general national tourism income. Over a hundred million inbound tourists visited the province in this year. With 9.1 billion US dollars of foreign exchange earnings from tourism, the province ranked first in the whole country.

In the history Hangzhouperson midautumn festival enjoys looking at the moon has three bigdestinations: In the lake pushes one of three islands Three deep pools India month, onthe mountain should be the phoenix hillside 月岩 the scenic spot, asfor the shore, number this pale blue wind was clear, the water and skyaltogether blue Pinghu harvest moon!

Now each position saw front this strip "between willow peach" the tourcauseway is the Bai Dike. When our ship drives here, the Xihu mostbeautiful scenery presented in front of everybody. Looks! In the dikenearby two respectively has line of willows, the prunus persica,specially is playing, the willow branch exudes, the peach tree greenbright red, a piece of pink willow green scenery, the tourist reachesthis point, as if like near fairyland. The Bai Dike original name "iswhite Sand Dike", as early as in more than 1,000 year ago Tang Dynasty,is famous by the sight fluttering flags. It although manages the BaiDike with Bai Ju which constructs not in a position, but the Hangzhoupeople for cherish the memory of this to make the brilliantcontribution to Hangzhou "senior mayor", still named it as the BaiDike. It manages the construction with Su Dongpo the Soviet dike justlike in the lake two brocades belt, gorgeous is varied, enhances oneanothers beauty. Everybody looked again that, the Bai Dike middlethis bridge is called the brocade belt bridge, before is the placewooden bridge, in the name "contains the blue bridge", now changes thename as the stone arch bridge. In Bai Dikes terminus, to mediated thebridge, the span 1 kilometer Bai Dike from this but "breaks".

Breaks the bridge the name most early to take to the Tang Dynasty, theSong synonym valuable blessing bridge, Yuan Daiyou name is DuanJiazhi, before is the place mess stained ancient stone bridge. We nowsee this bridge although is the place very ordinary stone arch bridge,but its name and "the Tale of the White Snake" the story relates intogether, thus has become in Xihu a most famous bridge

Talks about here, I saw some friends already carefully wereobserving, perhaps you immediately could ask: This bridge has notsimply broken, why has to name "breaks the bridge"? This question letsme explain.

Whenever the auspicious snow first clear, thebridge was open already Ice Disappears the snow, but bridge shady-sideactually or snow gleams white, looked by far, the bridge bodyresembled breaks must breaks, "broke the bridge remnant snow"therefore to acquire fame. Also, breaks the bridge also is Bai Dikesend point, comes the Bai Dike from the Pinghu harvest moon to reachthis point the severance. Talks about here, perhaps everybody alreadyunderstood, originally was "the dike breaks the bridge to beunceasing".

Fellow friends: The Xihu coast landscape introduced here, meets us towatch in the lake three islands.

First we look at in Xihu most Oshima "Three deep pools India month", also calls thesmall sea state. This is "in the lake has the island, in the islandhas the lake" in the lake the garden.

大连英语导游词

（致欢迎词）

首先自我介绍：我叫ｘｘｘ，我来自ｘｘｘ旅行社，我们的司机师傅姓ｘ，我们可以称呼他ｘ师傅，大家今天在大连的游览就是由我们两位为大家服务。

Good morning to everyone! First of all， I’d like to introduce myself to you: Im ....， from China Travel Agency. Our driver today is …. We call him ...... Welcome to the beautiful coastal city of Dalian! Please let us know how we can help you.

现在我们位于大连港，大连港始建于1899年，距今已有百余年的历史。大连港位于辽东半岛南端的大连湾内，港阔水深，冬季不冻，万吨货轮畅通无阻，大连是哈大线的终点，以东北三省为经济腹地，是东北的门户，也是东北地区最重要的综合性外贸口岸，是仅次于上海、秦皇岛的中国第三大海港。

Now we are at the Dalian Port. Dalian Port was founded in 1899; it has more than 100 years of history. At the southernmost tip of Liaodong Peninsula， Dalian Port is a non-freezing， deep-water harbor. With a wide opening， millions of tons of cargo can pass unimpeded. It connects the three provinces in the Northeast part of China. The three provinces are Helongjiang Province， Jilin Province and Liaoning Province. The Northeast part of China was once known as Manchuria. The three provinces form the economic backyard of the Dalian Port. Dalian Port is also the door to Northeast China， and it’s the most important international trade seaport， which is the third largest in China， after Shanghai and Qin Huangdao.

现在展现在大家眼前的，是各位到大连后见到的第一个广场——港湾广场。

现在港湾广场正在施工修建地铁，也是大连地铁东端起点。2012年12月将建成通车。现在我们经过的是人民路，它是大连市开建最早的一条主干道，东西走向，长一公里，沙俄占领大连的时候被称为莫斯科大街，日本占领大连的时候称为山县通，解放初，为了表示中苏友好，又改称斯大林路，1994年才更名为人民路。由于紧连着大连港这个东北地区对外开放的窗口，所以路两边大都是外贸、航运、物流和金融机构以及海关、商检等单位，是我市著名的金融、商务和航运中心区。

Now in front of us is the first square of your visit --- Harbor Square. You can see that the Dalian metro is under construction now， and here， the harbor is the starting point of the Metro Line from the east. Dalian metro line will be open to the public in December 2012.

Now we are driving along Renmin road. It’s the earliest main road from east to west in Dalian. It was called Moscow Street when tsarist Russia occupied Dalian. Later it was called Tongshan County when the Japanese invaded Dalian in 1904. After China was liberated in 1949， in order to show our Sino-Soviet friendship， it was renamed Stalin Road， and then renamed as Renmin road in 1994. Renmin means people in Chinese.

Since this area is close to the Dalian Port， there are many companies Along Remin Rd for international trade， shipping， logistics and finance. There are also office buildings for customs， commodity inspection， etc. Obviously this area is a well-known financial， business， and shipping center.

在路的两侧有好多五星酒店，刚刚经过的就是国际连锁酒店——香格里拉，紧接着是富丽华酒店，新世界大酒店，旁边的时代广场是去年新开业的国际品牌的商品购物中心，马路中间的电车大家一定很好奇，在这样一座现代化的城市居然能看到如此古老的交通工具，是的，大连至今依然保留着已经拥有一百多年历史的古老电车，而且所有的司机都是女性，也是大连一直保留下来的传统。

On both sides of the road there are a number of five-star hotels， the hotel we are just passing is Shangri-La Hotel， an international hotel chain popular in Asia. Neｘt to it is the Furama hotel， and beside it， is Times Square， a new international brand shopping mall， which opened last year.

You may be surprised to see trams in the middle of the street. Dalian still keeps the old tram with one hundred years of history， and the tradition that every driver is female has also been maintained.

右手边就是我们的友谊商城，下午会给大家到里面时间自由购物。

现在展现在大家眼前的是中山音乐广场，现在建地铁，没建地铁之前，这里晚上是大连人休闲好去处，晚上播放舞曲，大家问乐起舞，很惬意，也是大连最古老的广场，沙俄占领大连的时候被称为尼古拉耶夫广场，日本占领的大连的时候被称为大广场，后拉为了纪念中国国父--孙中山先生，更名为中山广场。在广场周围的建筑都具有浓郁的欧洲古典风味，其中有一幢是大连宾馆，曾经的末代皇帝溥仪就曾经住在里面。其他的建筑多半都是银行，因此这里也被称为是大连的金融中心。现在我们行驶在延安路上，我们今天第一个将要参观的就是大连的绿山观景台，现在我就给大家简单介绍一下大连（大连概况）

On the right hand side， is Friendship Shopping Mall. You can have some time shopping in this duty-free place this afternoon.

Now what we see is Zhongshan Music Square. Before the metro line was constructed， it was a nice place for Dalian people to relaｘ， and for English speakers to meet for English Corner. In the evening people used to come here to listen to music and dance. It’s the oldest Square in Dalian. In the time of occupation by Tsarist Russia， it was called Nikolayev Square; in the time of occupation by Japan， it was called the Grand Square; finally it was renamed as Zhongshan Square， in honor of Dr. Sun Yat-sen， the father of China. Zhongshan was his given name in mandarin Chinese， whereas Yat-sen was his given name in Cantonese. Buildings around the square are of European classical style. One of them is the Dalian Hotel. The last Emperor of China， Pu Yi lived there for a time. Another eｘample is the Concert Hall. Many international performances are held there every year. Most of the other buildings are banks such as the American Citibank (花旗银行)， so this square is also known as the financial center of Dalian.

Now we are driving along Yan’an Road. The first scenic spot we are visiting today is the Green Mountain Viewing Platform. Can I give you a brief introduction to Dalian before hand?

——大连位于中国辽东半岛最南端，东濒黄海，西临渤海，冬无严寒，夏无酷暑，年平均温度10℃。大连是中国优秀旅游城市、卫生城市、园林化城市，2001年6月5日联合国授予大连为中国唯一、亚洲第二个＂世界环境500佳＂城市。又被称为＂浪漫之都＂。大连海陆空交通都方便：国际航线东北最多。大连市区内的交通也相对其他城市要便捷很多——大连的马路上大家是不是发现有2种车子比较少见？对了，是自行车跟摩托车。因为大连属于丘陵地形，所以很少有人骑自行车和摩托车，因为要经常上坡，下坡，骑起来比较费劲。

As you know， Dalian is located in Liaoning Province， the southern end of the Liaodong Peninsula. It faces Bohai Sea to the west and Yellow Sea to the east. It’s not eｘtremely cold in winter and not too hot in summer. The average annual temperature is 10 degrees centigrade or 50 degrees Fahrenheit. Dalian is an eｘcellent tourist city， a clean city， and is called a garden city. In 2001， Dalian was named to the “World Environment 500” list of cities. Dalian is the only city in China with this honor. Dalian is also known as a “romantic city”.

The sea-land-air transportation is very convenient here in Dalian: Dalian Airport provides the most international airlines in the northeast of China. The traffic conditions in Dalian are better than many other cities in China. Different from many other cities in China， it’s hard for you to find two kinds of vehicles. Yes， they are bicycles and motorcycles. Because Dalian is quite hilly， it not convenient for people to ride bicycles and motorcycles.

好了，前面即将到达的就是绿山观景台了，它位于大连电视塔脚下，劳动公园的顶端，站在这里可以俯瞰整个城市的全景。大家去过的北京，西安是古城，那么大连是一座现代新兴城市，现在就给大家15分钟时间下车拍照留念。

Well， we are arriving at THE Green Mountain Viewing Platform. It’s at the foot of Dalian Television Tower， and above Labor Park. Standing here you can get a bird’s eye view of the whole city. Maybe you have been to ancient cities such as Beijing and ｘian， but Dalian is a rising modern city. Now you can have 15 minutes to take photos.

（停车15分钟，下车继续讲解），大家请看公园里面的红白相间的足球，是大连的建筑艺术博物馆，因为大连曾经被称为“足球城”，这也可以称之为城市的标志之一。后面的楼是瑞诗酒店，右手边看到的是凯宾斯基酒店以及大连市内最高档的海鲜餐厅万宝海鲜坊，左边黑白相间的高楼是韩国现代集团投资建成的希望大厦，也是市区内最美的建筑之一，我们身后的塔就是电视塔，在劳动公园里面有一个缆车站，就是直通到电视塔的，夏天可以滑草。

Please look at the huge football with red and white colors. It’s one of the icons of Dalian， also the museum of Dalian architectural art. Dalian was once called “soccer city” when its soccer team was No. 1 nationwide. The building in the back is the Swiss Hotel. On the right hand side you can see the Kempinski Hotel and the city’s most eｘpensive seafood restaurant ---- Wanbao seafood Restaurant. On the left hand side you can see a Black and white high-rise. That is the Hope Mansion invested by South Koreas Hyundai Group. It’s one of the most beautiful buildings in Dalian. The tower behind us is Dalian Television Tower. There is a cable car to connect to television tower. There on the slope people can do a rail toboggan slide.

（组织客人上车清点人数）观赏了市区的众多建筑后大家一定会发现，大连好多建筑都是俄式、日式，为什么一个中国的城市会有这样多外国的建筑呢？下面我就简单给大家介绍下大连的历史：始建于1899年9月的大连，已走过了110个春秋。地处辽东半岛南端的大连，为京津门户，背依东北三省和内蒙古东部的广阔腹地，是东北地区联系世界的窗口。然而，就是这样一方地理位置极优越的土地，在近代历史上先后被沙俄、日本帝国主义侵入、霸占了47年。对殖民者的欺凌和压榨，大连人民进行了可歌可泣的反抗与斗争。

Seeing a number of buildings in Dalian， you might have found there is a lot of Russian and Japanese architecture. Why are there a lot of foreign buildings? Now I’ll give a brief introduction to the history of Dalian: Dalian was founded in 1899 so we now have a history of more than 100 years. Since it’s located in the southern end of Liaotung Peninsula， it’s an important door to Beijing and Tianjin. Dalian has got the economic support from the three provinces of Northeastern China and Inner Mongolia. That is， Dalian is the doorway to the northeast of China and the world. Due to its vital location， both Tsarist Russia and Japan invaded it and occupied it for 47 years. As I mentioned earlier， the Northeast part of China was once known as Manchuria. Facing the bullying and eｘploitation of the invaders， Dalian people waged a heroic struggle against the invaders.

1945年8月，大连终于回到了中国的怀抱，并成为新中国建立之前最早获得新生的城市之一。1978年以来加快了大连的发展速度。港口、贸易和造船、内燃机车制造以及渔业生产在全国占有举足轻重位置的大连，成为我国首批批准对外开放的沿海城市之一和计划单列市，名列中国城市综合实力50强的第八位，成为国家园林城市、国家环保城市，率先成为国家卫生城市、优秀旅游城市，同时，又是我国“服装城”、“足球城”、“田径之乡”、“水果之乡”，是一座遐迩闻名、充满生机、花园般的海滨城市。中国著名市长薄熙来在规划这座城市的时候就说过，要将大连这座城市建在花园里，而不是把花园建在城市里，要让老百姓走出家门就走进花园。

Dalian was reunited with motherland China in August 1945 (before national liberation). Since 1987 Dalian has accelerated the pace of development. Now Dalian has earned a pivotal position in transportation， trade， shipbuilding， locomotive manufacturing， and fishery production. It’s one of the Chinese coastal cities opened in the 1980s with Mr. Deng ｘiaoping’s introduction of the reform and open door policy. It ranks No. 8 among the top 50 Most Powerful Chinese Cities. It has enjoyed such titles as “a garden city” and ‘an environment protection city’. It’s the first city to become the national clean city， outstanding tourist city etc. In addition， it’s called “fashion city”， “football city”， “athletics city”， “fruit city”， etc. Our former mayor， Mr. Bo ｘilai， who is now the Party Secretary of Chongqing Autonomous City once said， the city of Dalian should be built in a garden， rather than gardens built in the city. That is， people should feel walking into gardens once they go outdoors.

Since 2007， Dalian has alternately held the summer Davos World Economic Forum with Tianjin. Dalian is also the place where Warren Buffet and Bill Gates get their suits made. The brand they wear is called Dayang Trands.

现在大家眼前出现的这一大片绿色，就是大连市的行政中心——人民广场，在广场跟市政府之间大家有没有发现一个漂亮的女交警？在大连交通警察是很少见的，因为现代化技术非常发达，我们的交叉路口都有“电子眼”，但是这条路是大连贯穿东西方向的主干道，于是广场中间常年都有一位女交警在这里执勤，每两个小时换一班。（停车15分钟，下车继续讲解）。

Now the wide green lawn we are facing is Peoples Square. On the north side of the square is the Dalian Municipal Government building. Can you see a tall policewoman standing in the middle of the square? They are like a scenic spot of Dalian. However， there aren’t many policemen patrolling on the road. Many high-tech electronic eyes are installed at intersections. But since this is the main road running from east to west， all year around there is a female traffic police officer on duty， in two hour shifts.

每天早上都会有升旗仪式，傍晚都会有美妙的音乐喷泉，也是老百姓饭后散步的好去处。蓝色圆顶建筑是大连青少年活动中心。大连很重视教育。有高等学府22所，其中著名的有海事大学，理工大学，东北财经，软件大学。。。（看见大连市民，可以讲大连人的民风）大连人喜欢穿着，有句话说广东人什么都敢吃，大连人什么都敢穿，舍得在服装上投资，穿名牌，穿着也比较开放，特别是大连女孩，吃海鲜，身材好，皮肤好，更是引领时装潮流，每年大连都举办服装节。人民广场是市政广场，广场对面就是大连的人民政府，两侧分别是大连市公安局，中级人民法院，这里目前还保留中国最大草坪广场的记录，市长曾经提出：大连建设不求最大，但求最好。

Here at the People Square， every morning there is a flag-raising ceremony. In the evening there is a wonderful musical fountain. Many people come here to have a walk after dinner.

The building with the blue dome is the Dalian youth activity center. People in Dalian attach great importance to education and there’re 22 institutions of higher learning here including Dalian Maritime University， Dalian University of Technology， Dongbei University of Finance and Economics， Software University， and Liaoning Normal University. People Square holds the record of being the largest grass square in China. In terms of the overall city development， the mayor believes that although Dalian is not the biggest in size， it should strive to be the best.

（组织客人上车清点人数）现在我们左手边经过的是市区内最大的医院——医科大学附属医院，是日式的建筑，当时日本占领大连的时候被称为赤十字医院。我们车子现在经过的是奥林匹克广场，建成于1999年，也是大连市建市100周年献礼工程。大家看到广场中间一个正在奔跑的铜像了么？那正是中国第一个参加奥运会的运动员，叫做刘长春，是我们大连人，也是著名的短跑冠军。

Now look on the left. What we are passing is the largest hospital in Dalian. It’s No. 1 Hospital affiliated to Dalian Medical University. You can see the building is of Japanese style. During the Japanese occupation， it was called Red Cross Hospital.

Now we are driving along Olympic Square. Olympic Square was built in 1999， as a memorial project for Dalian’s 100th anniversary. Can you catch a sight of a bronze statue of a runner? That was Chinese first Olympic athlete， Mr. Liu Changchun， a famous sprint champion. He was the very first person in China who participated in the Los Angeles Olympic Games in 1932.

看了广场，大家发现在广场上面的人好像很少，其实人都在地下呢，看到广场两端的彩色大半球了么，那里就是美国品牌沃尔玛超市入口，在超市的旁边还有大连最大的电子商城，方便了大连的百姓购买电子产品，大连有着中国第一个硅谷—软件园。大家看到广场后面几栋高高的蓝色顶的楼么？那里也是大连市政府为奖励高级教师建的教师大厦，大连的高级教师可以免费住在楼里。

Seeing the Olympic square， you might have found that there aren’t many people on the square. Actually people are busy under the ground. Can you see the large， colorful hemispheres on the both ends of the square? They are the entrances to the American supermarket Wal-Mart. Neｘt to it is the Dalian Electronic Market， the largest one in the city. It’s very convenient for people to buy electronic products in Dalian.

Talking about electronic products， we have the first Chinese Silicon Valley in China – Dalian Software Park. It’s at the western part of Dalian.

Can I draw your attention to a few tall buildings with blue tiles behind us? They’re called Teacher Mansions， The apartments there are rewards to outstanding senior teachers， professors and scientists， sponsored by Dalian Municipal Government. These outstanding people can live there for free.

我们车子现在行驶的路叫做中山路，也被称为水晶大道，全长10公里，贯穿大连东西方向，大家看窗外的路灯是不是很别致？它们叫做水晶槐花灯，槐花，也是大连的市花，大连也被称为“东方槐城”。每年5月在大连槐花盛开的时候都会举办一次赏槐节，，一边闻着飘香的槐花，一边品尝自制的槐花点心。

The road we are driving along is called Zhongshan Road. It’s also called Crystal Avenue， running from east to west. Let’s look at the street lights outside the window. Aren’t they unique? They are known as Crystal Acacia Lights. The acacia tree is the Dalian city tree. So the acacia flower is the city flower of Dalian. The Dalian National Acacia Blossom Festival is held every May， when the flowers are in full bloom. People will be having a great time enjoying the fragrance of acacia flowers and eating homemade acacia dessert.

马路两旁的树都是法国梧桐，因为这条中山路是为了纪念孙中山先生命名的，而孙中山先生生前最喜欢的树就是法国梧桐，因此这条路的两旁便种了很多梧桐树。我们现在经过的是马拦河，在过去这里是一条臭水沟，大家都说生活在这里的老百姓要比生活在市区内的百姓平均寿命要少5年，因为河水污染太严重了，现在经过整治，这条河又干净如初，每天晚上还会有好多人在河岸边锻炼身体，打太极拳。

You might have also noticed that on both sides of the road there are many Chinese parasol trees. Do you still remember the name of the road? Yes， it’s Zhongshan Road. As mentioned earlier， this road is named to honor Dr. Sun Yat-sen. Zhongshan was his given name in Mandarin Chinese. Yat-sen was his given name in Cantonese. During his lifetime， Dr. Sun Yat-sen favored Chinese parasol trees.

Now we are passing Malan River. In the past， Malan River was a smelly drainage ditch. People in the neighborhood said that their life span would be 5 years shorter than other people because of the serious water pollution. Now through regulation， the river is as clean as ever. Every evening there will be many people doing eｘercises near the river， for eｘample， doing taichi.

现在我们经过的是和平广场购物中心，在广场的地下有东北最大的钻石宫殿，也是李嘉诚先生投资在东北建的第一个钻石店，前面我们即将抵达的就是亚洲最大的城市广场

Now we’re passing by Peace Square Shopping Center. In the square there’s a huge diamond shop， which is the largest in northeast part of China. It’s a diamond shop invested by Mr Li Ka-shing. He is a famous Hong Kong billionaire tycoon.

——广场中心由999块四川红色大理石铺设而成，红色理石的外围是黄色大五角星，红黄两色象征着炎黄子孙。广场周边还设有5盏高12.34米的大型宫灯，由汉白玉柱托起，光华灿烂，与华表交相辉映。

The neｘt place we are arriving is the largest city square of Asia. It’s ｘinghai Square. The center of the square is paved with 999 huge pieces of Sichuan red marble， and the outskirts of the red marble are big yellow five-pointed stars. The colors of red and yellow stand for Chinese people. You can also see five white marble columns of 12.34 meters in height around the square. These five columns hold five palace lanterns， and in the light of the sun， they look bright and luminous. The lanterns and the ornamental column add radiance and beauty to each other.

从中心广场南行，便是"百年城雕"。百年城雕的北侧一段是千人足印铺就的《路》，上面最年轻的脚印是1999年出生的婴儿的脚印，最大的是1899年出生的老人的脚印，那个时候老人还都是裹脚的。这1000双脚印里面包含了大连的老红军，劳动模范，还有时任市长薄熙来的脚印（已经被前来参观和大连老百姓摸成了金色），其中700双是无偿采集的，300双是有偿采集，每双5000元。路的尽头是打开的书形广场，面对无垠的大海，寓意着百年后的大连经历了百年历史又翻开了新的一页。从中心广场北行，则是会展中心，它是集展览、会议、贸易、金融、娱乐为一体的具有国际一流水平的现代化建筑。贯穿广场南北的中央长廊，建有喷泉水景大道。整个广场绿草茵茵，每隔20米的航标石柱灯一线排开直通大海，典雅肃穆，宁静致远。中心广场面积4.5万平方米，这是一个纪念香港回归的工程。广场中心全国最大的汉白玉华表，高19.97米，直径1.997米。华表底座附有八条龙，柱身雕着一条龙，九条龙寓意中国九州。华表顶端坐着金光闪闪的望天吼，高2.3米。围绕华表的的汉白玉石柱高12.34米，各自托起的是一盏宫灯。广场中心仿效北京天坛圜丘的设计，由999块四川红大理石铺成，大理石上刻着天干地支、24节气和12生肖，站在自己的生肖上许愿，可以带来好运，但是若实现了是要回来还愿的。

Driving southward from the Central Square， we can see the Dalian Centennial City Sculpture. Dalian Centennial City Sculpture was built in 1999. It’s unique in architecture. Most sculptures in the world are vertical， but this sculpture is horizontal.

There’re two parts to this horizontal sculpture. The northern part is a bronze path spread with a thousand pairs of footprints. The youngest footprints belong to the babies born in 1999， and the oldest one belongs to the senior citizen who was born in 1899. Her footprints were different from others， (or rather abnormal). She had a pair of bound feet. The footprint moulds also include Dalian’s veteran Red Army soldiers， model workers and the mayor at that time， Mr. Bo ｘilai， whose footprints have become golden by tourists’ touching. Among the 1000 pairs of footprint， 700 were collected free of charge， but the other 300 were bought by sponsors for 5000 RMB per pair.

At the end of the footprint path is the second part of the Centennial City Sculpture， that is， the sculpture of an open book square， facing the boundless sea. The open book sculpture implies Dalian will open a new page after having eｘperienced the 100 years of history.

Walking northward from the Central Square， you’ll see a tall building. It’s Dalian Eｘhibition Center， a first-level international modern building. It hosts eｘhibitions， conferences， trade fairs， financial offices and entertainment venues. This building is also the host to the Summer Davos World Economic Forum， as I mentioned earlier.

Neｘt to it is a pink building. It’s a convention center. From the pink building to the Central Square， there runs a long corridor from north to south， with a fountain boulevard running along with it. You can see this area is very green， and every 20 meters there is a navigation stone-pillar lantern standing in a line and directly connects to the sea. Standing here， you will eｘperience the feeling of elegance and serenity.

The Central Square commemorates the return of Hong Kong to China in 1997. In the center of the square， there stands a white marble ornamental column. Ornamental columns are also called China clocks in Chinese， symbolic of the nation. This one at ｘinghai Square is 19.97 meters in height and 1.997 meters in diameter commemorating the 1997 date. The base of the ornamental column is embellished with 8 dragons and the column is engraved with 1 dragon. These nine dragons together represent the whole China， since the number “9” in ancient Chinese philosophy meant the largest number. On the top of the ornamental column is a gilded “Heaven’s Roar”， which is 2.3 meters in height. The 5 white marble columns around the ornamental column are 12.34 meters in height， each holding up a palace lantern.

The Central Square imitates the Circular Mound Altar of the Temple of Heaven inBeijing. It’s paved with 999 Sichuan red marble tiles and carved with the ancient Chinese Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches Calendar， 24 solar terms and the 12 animals of the Chinese Zodiac. Look for the year of your birth to find your zodiac animal. If you stand on the animal representing yourself， you can make a wish that can bring good luck for you.

好，现在就给大家30分钟的时间让大家在我们美丽的广场上拍照留念。（下车引导客人，回答客人问题，并现场指点车上讲过的内容）

You can have 30 minutes to take photos on the square.

（组织客人上车，清点人数）现在我们行驶的这条路就是大连的滨海路，滨海路的景色以山海相融为主要基调。滨海路以前是一条军事专用道，现在开发为旅游路线。

Well， the following route is very relaｘing; we’ll visit the most beautiful tour road， Binhai， road by bus. ‘Binhai’ in Chinese means costal. So you can also call this road Coastal Road. Binhai Road combines the harmony of mountain and sea together. It was formerly only for military use and visitors were prohibited. Now Binhai Road is an open tourist area.

沿海一边我们看到的木栈桥，是去年刚刚进入吉尼斯世界纪录的世界最长的木栈桥，所有木头都是用俄罗斯红松木铺就的，每年5月的一个周末在大连都会有一场盛大的徒步大会，来自世界各地的徒步运动爱好者都会欢聚于此，根据身体条件选择自己的路线：最短的走5公里，然后10公里，20公里，最长的走30公里。

On the seaside road we can see the wooden sidewalk trestle， which is built of Russian red pine. It was the longest wooden trestle recorded in the Guinness Book of World Records last year. Every May， Dalian will hold a grand Walking Festival and more than 100，000 people， many from other countries， will gather here to make the hike together. There are four different lengths and people choose according to their health conditions: the shortest distance is 5 kilometers， 10 kilometers， 20 kilometers， and the longest is 30 kilometers.

像这样的大连自己的节日还有每年正月初二的烟花爆竹迎春会，每年4月在旅顺的樱花节，5月的赏槐节，7月的啤酒节，9月的服装节，10月的马拉松，以及11月的冬泳节。可以说在大连几乎每个月都有属于自己的狂欢节。也印证了大连是座浪漫的城市，每个节日都是浪漫的节日。

Talking about festivals in Dalian， beside this Walking Festival， other festivals in Dalian include:

1)Fireworks Festival，

2)Greeting Spring Festival on the 2nd day of January according to the lunar calendar，

3)Cherry Blossom Festival in Lushun every April，

4)Acacia Festival in May，

5)Beer Festival in July，

6)Fashion Festival in September，

7)The Dalian Marathon in October， and

8)Winter Swimming Festival in November.

It can be said that Dalian has its own carnival every month. As a romantic city， every festival in Dalian is a romantic holiday.

接下来我们经过的是金沙滩，从这条小路走下去便能看到大连海边最美的沙滩，在大连也有个不成文的规矩，每个夏天每个公司的老板都要带领自己的员工到海边去玩一天，因为大连有这样得天独厚的条件，若是不带自己员工出来玩，就说明这个老板很小气，赚不到钱。从这里望下去我们所看到的都是黄海，可能在之前介绍的时候大家都以为黄海是黄颜色的，现在亲眼目睹了黄海，才看到黄海是很特别的蓝色，与它的名字截然不同。在滨海路上我们还看到好多的小别墅，这些多半都是有钱人买来度假用的，真正的大连人是不会买这样靠近海边的房子的，因为冬天会比较冷，夏天会比较潮湿。

The neｘt spot we are visiting is Golden Sand beach. Walking down the path you’ll see the most beautiful sand beach in Dalian. There’s an unwritten rule in Dalian. That is， every boss should take his employees to come to the Golden Sand beach to have a break， because of the fabulous environment. If the boss can’t do this， that means the boss is stingy and won’t be able to earn much money.

Looking down from here we see the Yellow Sea. Before we introduce it， you might think that the Yellow Sea is yellow in color. Now with our own eyes， we can tell the Yellow Sea is very blue， despite its name.

On Binhai road you can also see a number of cottages. These are mostly used for vacation homes purchased by rich people. The real Dalian people will not buy such houses near the beach， because it is relatively cold in winter， and would be very humid in the summer.

接下来我们看到左手边经过的是大连森林动物园的二期散养区，还造就了＂狗妈妈喂养虎儿子＂：一只老虎生了两只小老虎，小虎靠狗妈妈喂养长大。在世界上要看＂狗娘养的老虎＂，只有在大连，我们可以更近距离的接触他们，里面可以观赏到中国的国宝大熊猫。海上可以看见海水养殖—前面就是鲍鱼研究中心，大连海产品丰富，鲍鱼产量占全国60％。大连海域海水干净，冷度适宜，含盐量30‰，正适合鱼虾、鲍鱼、刺参、扇贝、紫海胆、螺类等海珍品的生长，营养价值高且味道鲜美。

On the north side of Binhai Road we’re passing Dalian Forest Zoo. Dalian Forest Zoo has a free-range area. There you can enjoy the sight of the marvelous elephant performances. Some tame animals are allowed to roam free so that you keep in close contact with them. You also can enjoy the rare sight of a dog mother raising a tiger’s son: a tiger gave birth to two baby tigers， and one baby tiger was raised by a dog mother. So if you’d see a tiger brought up by a dog mother， the only place you can choose is Dalian. Here you can also see the national treasure， the panda.

What you can see at sea isn’t agriculture but Mariculture. In front of us is an abalone research center. Dalian is rich in seafood and the production of abalone accounts for 60% of the country’s total. In Dalian， the sea conditions are ideal for faming seafood. The water is clean， the water temperature is perfect and the salt content is 30%，. Seafood in Dalian include fish， prawns， abalones， sea cucumbers， scallops， purple sea urchins， trumpet shells， etc.， which are all nutritious and delicious.

现在大家右手边经过的是付家庄海水浴场，之所以叫做付家庄是因为在这一代曾经住着好多姓付的老百姓，以捕鱼为生，如今这里变成了大众海水浴场，每到夏天的时候就可以来到这里观赏各色的美女。现在我们要经过的是一所美丽的学校，嘉惠阳光学校，里面的老师都是讲英文的，从小学到中学都有，属于私立贵族学校。

On the left-hand side is Fujiazhuang Bathing beach. Here Fu is a family name in China， jia in Chinese means a family. Zhuang in Chinese means village. The reason why it is called Fu Jia Zhuang is that there lived a number of villagers whose surnames are called Fu and they made a living by fishing. Now it has become a public bathing beach. Now we are passing by a beautiful school， Jiahui Sunlight School， whose teachers are English-speaking. It is a private elite elementary school and secondary school.

滨海路由于一边是山，一边是海，也被大连的老百姓称之为“情人路”，我在这里也给大家讲讲大连的婚俗吧：一对新人进入恋爱成熟阶段后，首先要做的便是登记，登记后，小两口双双到男方家吃一顿喜庆饭。按常理，婆婆应在这个时候给媳妇钱和首饰，以表接纳之意。钱数通常会是1001或者10001，代表新娘是千里挑一，万里挑一的。接着便是选定结婚的日子。婚日以双数为好，最好是阴历、阳历和星期几都是双日，而在双数中最 受欢迎的是六，“六六大顺”嘛，如果阴历有六，阳历为6月6日，又是星期六，这样的日子可谓大吉大利。不过，单数中也有例外，譬如九就特别受青睐，因为它寓意地久天长，1999年9月9日，大连结婚的人就特别多。结婚那天最好是晴空万里的好天气，如果下雨则意味新娘为人厉害，大家的心情会因此感到沮丧。

Sometimes Binhai Road is called lover’s Road because of its romance. As you can see， one side of the road is the mountain， and the other side is the sea. Now let me share with you Dalian’s marriage custom: after the couple turn into the mature stage of love， the first thing they are going to do is to register， then the young couple will go to the guy’s family to have a festive meal in pairs. Normally， the man’s mother should give son’s new wife money and jewelry as a present at this time， which means the mom accepts the girl as her son’s wife. As a rule， the amount of money is 1001 RMB or 10，001 RMB， which means the bride is chosen as one from 1000 girls or 10，000 girls. Then it’s time to choose the wedding date. The wedding date is better on an even-numbered date， the best days are even-numbered days in lunar calendar， solar calendar and days of week， and the most popular even number in China is 6. It’s a lucky number in our culture. In Chinese we call “Liu Liu Dashun”， which means smoothness of everything. If there is a number siｘ in lunar calendar and the date is June 6 in solar calendar as well as it is Saturday， such date is the absolute most favorable. But there are also the singular eｘception， for eｘample number nine， it is an especially favored date， because it implies your love would live on for ever and ever， that is why there were a number of marriages on September 9， 1999. In addition， if there is a blue sky on the wedding day， it could be the best of all. If it rains， it means the bride is as sharp as a razor and the participants would feel depressed.

现在我们将经过的就是燕窝岭——这里已经成为婚庆的主题公园，因常有黑燕飞来，故名”燕窝岭”。

Now we’ll go through the Bird’s Nest Hill--- Bird’s Nest Hill has become a wedding-theme park. Many black swifts often fly about， thus it’s named.

现在出现在大家眼前的是北大桥——北大桥是大连市与日本国北九洲市结为友好城市之后，为增进两个城市友好往来，纪念两个城市人民的传统友谊，分别在北九洲市公园中建立一个具有中国民族风格的亭——“大北亭”，在大连市建一公路桥——北大桥。 在大连我们也称之为情人桥。若夫妻俩一同走过这座桥哦，这也寓意你们的爱情会天长地久。若是周末或者好日子我们到这里总能看到好多对刚刚结婚的新人，两对新人在这里如果遇见了，是一定要交换一件礼物的，可以是手绢，胸针或者一朵鲜花都可以，交换一件礼物就代表交换一份幸福，据说交换的次数越多，结婚后的幸福也就越多。

Well， in front of us is the North Bridge--- it is to commemorate the friendship between the two sister cities， Dalian and Kitakyushu City of Japan. This bridge is the witness of friendship eｘchanges between the two cities and to promote the traditional friendship between the peoples of the two cities. In Kitakyushu City Park， the Japanese established a Pavilion of Chinese national style called the "Great Northern Pavilion."

In Dalian we also call North Bridge Lover’s Bridge. If a couple walk across the bridge hand in hand， it means their love will last forever. On weekends or on special days we can see many newly married couples. If the two newly married couples meet here， they would eｘchange a gift， like a handkerchief， a brooch or a flower. To eｘchange gifts means to eｘchange happiness. It is said that the more you eｘchange with your partner， the more happiness you can get after marriage.

接下来我们即将抵达的是老虎滩的虎雕广场，这个由韩美林先生（设计北京奥运会福娃的设计师）花了2年零9个月雕刻成的飞虎群雕，也是大连的标志。那现在给大家20分钟时间，可以自行到广场上拍拍照片，也可以到广场对面的绿顶房子去用洗手间。

（组织客人上车，清点人数）这里之所以被称为老虎滩，是因为在靠近岸边的山下有个非常大的溶洞，每到晚上涨潮的时候海水冲进洞里就会听见呜呜的像老虎低吼一样的声音，住在附近的老百姓便给这里取名老虎滩。接下来我们要经过的是一艘军舰——104导弹驱逐舰，它曾经参加过第二次世界大战，现在退役了被大连政府买来供游人参观。现在我们经过的是老虎滩的极地海洋动物馆——也是大连唯一一个5A级景区，里面除了可以看到海洋动物表演，也可以看到各种极地动物——北极熊，白鲸，企鹅……置身极地馆可以让我们这些生活在温带的人也感受到极地世界的美妙。我们现在驶入的这条路是中南路，名字很好记，北京有个中南海，大连有条中南路。

Here， we are arriving at the Tiger & Eagle Square on Tiger Beach. The sculpture was carved by Mr. Han Meilin， the same designer who designed the 2000 Beijing Olympics mascots. He spent 2 years and 9 months carving the Flying Tiger sculptures. It is also the symbol of Dalian.

Now we’ll have 20 minutes to take photos on the square. You could go to the green house for toilet opposite the square.

This place is also called Tiger Beach. There is a very big mountain cave near the shore and every evening when the water rushes into the cave at high tide， you will hear the constant whine like a Tiger’s Growl. People who live here call it Tiger Beach.

The neｘt place we are passing by is retired guided-missile destroyer number 104. It participated in World War II， and then turned into a guided missile destroyer. It is now open for visitors.

Now the place we are passing by is the Tiger Beach Polar & Marine Animal Aquarium， a 5A-level scenic spot. In addition to the performances of marine animals， you can also see a variety of polar animals - polar bears， beluga whales， and penguins. Here people who live in temperate regions can enjoy the beauty of the polar world.

Now the road we are driving into is Zhongnan Road. Zhongnan means Central South in Chinese. It’s a major road leading to the sea in Dalian.

现在我们就要前往大连之旅最后一站——友谊商城自由购物。大连位于东北三省最南端，也是东北三省里面最时尚，最浪漫的城市。从我们马路上的车牌前两个字可以看出，大连是辽宁省第二大城市，“辽”代表大连位于辽宁省，“B”代表大连是辽宁省第二大城市，省会，也是第一大城市位于大连北边，是沈阳市，第三位的是鞍山市，以重工业钢铁闻名的城市，接下来是煤都抚顺，边境城市丹东，站在丹东的虎山长城，我们可以近距离的看到鸭绿江对岸的朝鲜，虎山脚下还有一条很窄的沟壑，距离朝鲜仅一步之遥。本溪市也是辽宁著名的城市之一，以四、五百万年前形成的大型充水溶洞——本溪水洞闻名。在辽宁西部，还有美丽的盘锦市，每年9月到10月可以观赏到美丽的红海滩。。若下次大家来东北，来到辽宁，我也会带大家去参观我们其他的美丽风景。现在我们就抵达了友谊商城，给大家30分钟时间可以自由选购大连的纪念品。

Now we are headed to our last stop， Dalian Friendship Shopping Mall for free time shopping.

On our way there， please let me tell you more about Dalian. Dalian is located on the southern tip of the three Northeastern provinces of China; it is the most fashionable and romantic city in Northeast China. You might have noticed a letter B on the license plate. The first character is Liao， standing for Liaoning， and the second mark is the letter B， meaning Dalian is the second largest city in Liaoning Province.

Talking about Liaoning Province， the capital of the province is Shenyang. It is also the largest city in the province. The third largest city in the province is Anshan， famous for iron and steel heavy industry. The neｘt one is Fushun known as the “coal metropolis”. Liaoning borders with North Korea， and the border city is Dandong. Yalu River runs between North Korea and China. In 1950， there broke out the Korean War. Americans bombed the bridge on the river. The broken bridge is still maintained as a memorial to that war.

A portion of the Great Wall is also found in Dandong. It’s called Dandong Tiger Mountain Great Wall.

At the foot of Tiger Mountain there is a very narrow gully， only one step away from North Korea.

Benｘi is another famous city in Liaoning Province. It’s known for its water caves. Benｘi Water Cave National Park is a wonder of the world. Large water-filled caves were formed 4 or 5 million years ago.

In the western part of Liaoning province is the beautiful city of Panjin， where you can enjoy the sight of Red beach from September to October every year.

Chaoyang is another famous city in Liaoning. It has unearthed many dinosaur fossils. It claims that it is the place where the first bird in the world ever flew， and the first flower ever bloomed.

If you come to northeast of China another time and visit Liaoning， hopefully I’ll take you to visit these beautiful scenic spots.

（购物结束组织上车），现在我们就返回大连港了，感谢大家在这秋日里为大连这座海边城市带来的一份热情，让这座城市又增添了几分活力，也感谢大家对我和司机师傅工作的支持，欢迎你们下次有机会来到大连，来到东北，届时我会为大家提供更加优质的服务，带大家去欣赏更多的美景。谢谢！
