湖南天子山英文导游词

Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. Welcome to Mountain Tianzi for sightseeing. Very pleased to be your tour guide. We are goanna visit the nature reserve of Mountain Tianzi, acclaimed as the gem of forest and peaks. It is one of the scenic highlights in the scenic area of Wu Lingyuan. Enjoying favorable climate, Mountain Tianzi presents you fantastic natural beauty, overlooking mountains and valleys in the distance.

We can see this strange landform known as quarts sandstone landform. According to scientific research, 300millon years ago here was vast ocean. About 100million years ago, due to the impact of waves, quarts sandstone laid more than 500m deep at the bottom of the sea. Later, owing to the movements of earth’s crust, the land here appeared out the deep water. With small gravel washed away, the movements of rocks and rain’s erosion, the region in the long years has formed the special quarts sandstone landform. Walk in the mountain and have an exciting experience of “an enlarged bonsai ,a minimized fairy land and gem of the forest and peaks.”

Here we are at Shen Tangwan, the most mysterious spot of Wu Lingyuan. It has nine level of rocks. Someone once ventured into the valley only to return when he was absolutely horrified on the fourth level of about 150m deep, howling wind accompanied by mournful shrills enshrouded in the valley. In 1968, some PLA soldiers planed to cull some precious medical herbs in the valley. With guns and slings, they went down the valley. Again they were forced back when they reached the sixth level. Even seen from there, the valley looked bottomless and horrible. They also saw with telescopes some giant boas and other wild beasts. Since then, Shen Tangwan has become a world of mysteries and no one has ever set foot in it

About 500m away from Shen Tangwan lies the Terrace for Mustering Officers where according to a legend that the son of heaven used to practice his army here. You might imagine how great the son of heaven was, practicing his arm here. Have a look at the peaks down there. At first glance, they look disorderly. With close examination, they look neat in its formation. Do they look like soldiers, energetic and dignified , going on a expedition?

In front of us is the Helong park. Entering the park, in sight is the Bronze Statue of Helong. It stands 6.5m in height , weighing more than 9 tons ( the weight of the horse included). This the largest and heaviest of all the statues of the great men of China in the past hundred years.

Not far away from the back of the statue stands the overlook of Yun Qingyan, from there you may feast your eyes on the natural beauty of West Sea. West Sea refers to a sea of pillars and peaks, stretching for miles.

Please look ahead. Not far away, charming peaks rising dramatically in uneven clusters, bear close resemblance to writing brush. This is the “Peaks of Royal Writing Brush”, one the ten tourism highlights of Wu Lingyuan. Legend has that after his defeat, the son of heaven burned all his official papers. When the papers were burning, he caught a glimpse of the royal writing brush, which reminded him of the past. With these writing brushes, he read official papers, wring comments. With these writing brushes, he gave orders, leading his army. After his defeat, he felt ashamed to see these writing brushes. Angry and sad, he tossed these writing brushes into the valley. When the writing brushes landed, they magically changed into the peaks—Peaks of the Royal Writing brush. The scenic spot is so famous that some stamps, official envelops and tickets have been graced by the picture of the peaks.

Dear friends, please look at the opposite side in the middle of the mountains. There you may feast your eyes on a natural beauty in mist. A slender maiden, stands gracefully, with a basket offlowers and nice smiles on her face. She is now scattering flowers to the human society , thus called as “Fairy Maiden Presenting Flowers”.

The scenery of Mountain Tianzi holds a fascination for tourists home and abroad. And the people here are simple and honest. Mountain Tianzi haves more scenic sights to offer than we can enjoy and has too many stories to tell. No wonder people speak highly of the mountain that Mountain Tianzi is beyond exploration. After visiting the mountain, you shall have no interest in visiting any other mountain.

Hopefully, you shall have pleasant and unforgettable memories of the mountain. Welcome you back to Mountain Tianzi for another sightseeing tour at your convenience. Thank you very much!
