沙逊大厦与中国银行大楼沙逊大厦因当时内部装修豪华被称为是“远东第一楼”。现在是和平饭店的北楼。外形象大写英文字母A。中国银行大楼是万国建筑博览中唯一一个中国人自己建造的大厦，他比沙逊大厦低60厘米，这还有一个故事。当被中国资本家觉得在外滩全是西方列强建造的形式各异的高楼，而且反映了各国列强的雄厚的经济实力，为了不让我们中国人丢脸面，于是中国官僚资本主义也决定造一个大楼，而且要造比其他国家的都要高，于是原计划要造34层，但是后来受沙逊大厦的业主也就是沙逊的阴挠，他说“你们们中国人是一点地位没有的，造的楼怎么可以比我们英国人的还要高呢?”于是打官司打到英国伦敦，结果大家是可想而知的，中国人败诉了，后来只能造成15层，比沙逊大厦低了60厘米。但是中国人还是不服气“上有政策下有对策”，你楼房不让我超过你，我在楼底上竖了两杆国旗，这两个棋杆比你们沙逊大厦高，这回你们应该没话讲了吧?所以我们现在看到的这两个棋杆就是鉴证。中国银行大厦外形有中为民族特色，楼底国角微翘，檐口用斗拱装饰。窗框是中国钱币的变形的形状。
凝固音乐的尾声是由东方汇理银行和上海大厦担当。
东方汇理银行为巴洛克式建筑，整幢大楼富有凹凸感，对比强烈。现在是上海市建筑保护单位。
百老汇大厦具有现代主义风格是观赏黄浦江、外滩、浦东景色的最佳处，周曾经陪同不少外国元首和贵宾登临观光。20世纪90年代，连续获得涉外宾馆“十佳安全优胜单位”称号。
好了，各位朋友，整个被称为凝固的音乐外滩的讲解到此就结束了。希望能给各位留下美好的回忆!
这秋高气爽的十月里我来到了上海。建在花园里的现代化城市，或许可以如此形容上海；上海给我的印象是美丽、时尚、辉煌，当然，上海最美丽的景色就数外滩的夜景了。
夜幕降临的时候，形状各异的摩天高楼上的灯光都亮开了，金茂大厦、香格丽拉大酒店楼顶上闪烁的霓虹灯犹如女皇的王冠，灯火阑珊，美妙的外滩呈现出迷人的风采。我见过山城重庆的夜景，山连着山，星星点点，似乎与天际相连，但外滩的夜景更让人着迷。黄浦江上来往的船只都由霓虹灯装扮起来，像宫殿、像龙船，每一艘船都形状各异，变化万千；黄浦江也变成了一条流动的丝带，江两旁高高低低、各式各样的高楼如镶嵌在丝带上的钻石。这些钻石中最耀眼的就数东方明珠电视塔了，塔呈圆锥形，由上下两个球体组成，中间由钢架支撑着。夜晚的东方明珠格外显眼，两个巨大的球体灯光闪烁迷离，不断变化着七彩的颜色，非常美丽。晚风习习在外滩散步，欣赏这美丽的夜景，真是一种美妙的享受。
上海是快乐的天堂，上海是时尚的翅膀，上海是放飞梦想的地方。在不一样的城市体验不一样的味道，上海外滩的夜景让我不知道用什么词来形容，总之，上海外滩的夜景太美丽了。
朋友们：
下午好!现在我们来到上海黄浦江畔的外滩，首先，我对各位的参观游览外滩表示欢迎，并预祝各位旅游愉快。
新外滩共有五条旅游路线，在您的左手边是被誉为“万国建筑博览”的壮观建筑群和宽敞的中山路，您的右手边是波光粼粼的黄浦江以及前程似锦的浦东陆家点缀金融贸易区，眼前为新颖独特的观光游览区。这建筑群、中山路、观光区、黄浦江、陆家嘴仿佛乐谱中的五线谱，勤劳上海人民则好似串串间符，正组成最新最华美的乐章，欢迎着各位来宾的光临。
地粉才能叫外滩呢?简单的说，它过去曾是上海老城厢外的一块芦苇丛生的荒滩地。
1840年第一次鸦片战争以后，紧锁的国门被殖民者洋炮轰开了，上海也被迫辟为商埠。从那时起，各式各样的西洋式建筑随着殖民者的“抢滩”而纷纷耸立，至本世纪30年代初，上海已从海滨小邑一跃成为远东最大的都市。
眼前这些具有欧洲文艺复兴时期风格的建筑，虽然不是出自同一个设计之手，也不是建造于一个年代，但它们的建筑格调是那么的和谐统一，宛然天成。从金陵东路外滩到外白渡桥长仅1.5公里的弧线上，高低错落，鳞次栉比地矗立着52幢风格各异的建筑，有英国式的、法国式的、古希腊式的等等。当年许多外国银行、总会、领事馆等云集于此，有东方“华尔街”之称，形成旧上海半殖民地半封建社会的一个历史缩影。
各位请看，新外滩2号东风饭店，过去曾是十分闻名的英国总会，它是一座典型的英国古典式建筑。楼高有6层(连地下室)，楼顶南北两端各设瞭望亭一座，内部装饰极为华丽。一层楼酒吧间当年曾因拥有110.7英尺的东方最长的酒吧柜而骄傲一时，如今美国的肯德基快餐厅设在里面。
外滩是上海的象征，也是中外游客必到之处。但在以前由于道路狭窄、行人车辆拥挤不堪，严重影响了外滩整体形象。为了改变处滩的面貌，上海人民政府把外滩作为重点加以改造。眼前这条马路称中山一路，是为了纪念中国民主革命的先驱孙中山先生而命名的，也是外滩综合改造的一部分。该路全长826米，宽45米，设6至10个车道。这条宽阔的交通线不仅仅限于外滩一带，它伴随着改革开放的步伐不断延伸，北起江湾五角场，南抵南浦大桥。到下个世纪初，这条南北走廊长达15公里，将成为上海旅游观光的标志性景观。
这秋高气爽的十月里我来到了上海。建在花园里的现代化城市，或许可以如此形容上海;上海给我的印象是美丽、时尚、辉煌，当然，上海最美丽的景色就数外滩的夜景了。
夜幕降临的时候，形状各异的摩天高楼上的灯光都亮开了，金茂大厦、香格丽拉大酒店楼顶上闪烁的霓虹灯犹如女皇的王冠，灯火阑珊，美妙的外滩呈现出迷人的风采。我见过山城重庆的夜景，山连着山，星星点点，似乎与天际相连，但外滩的夜景更让人着迷。黄浦江上来往的船只都由霓虹灯装扮起来，像宫殿、像龙船，每一艘船都形状各异，变化万千;黄浦江也变成了一条流动的丝带，江两旁高高低低、各式各样的高楼如镶嵌在丝带上的钻石。这些钻石中最耀眼的就数东方明珠电视塔了，塔呈圆锥形，由上下两个球体组成，中间由钢架支撑着。夜晚的东方明珠格外显眼，两个巨大的球体灯光闪烁迷离，不断变化着七彩的颜色，非常美丽。晚风习习在外滩散步，，欣赏这美丽的夜景，真是一种美妙的享受。
上海是快乐的天堂，上海是时尚的翅膀，上海是放飞梦想的地方。在不一样的城市体验不一样的味道，上海外滩的夜景让我不知道用什么词来形容，总之，上海外滩的夜景太美丽了。
亲爱的游客，我们的车子行驶在延安东路高架上，还有十五分钟就到了上海的著名景点外滩了。我在此向大家介绍一下外滩景区的概况。外滩是上海的窗口，是上海的像征，是上海历史的凝聚。他集中体现了上海作为中国最大的经济中心城市，国际现代化大都市的特点。又能体现出上海作为历史文化名城的特点。外滩景区是自然景观和人文景观相融合的风景区，又是西方古典风情与中国现代风情相得益彰的风景区，也是中国近代文化与现在文化交相辉映的风景区。外滩位于上海母亲河黄浦江与苏州河的交汇处，与东方明珠景区隔江相望。它北起外白渡桥，南至新开河中山东一路中山东二路地区全长约1800多米地形呈新月形。在它西面有北京东路南京东路九江路汉口路福州路广东路延安东路金陵东路等几条各具特色的重要道路，它们是建设和发展外滩景区的重要支架。
外滩原是在上海城厢外，东北面的沿江滩地。旧时俗称：黄浦滩。1843上海开阜后，英国第一任驻沪领事巴富尔看中了这一地区，于1845年以上海道台颁布的所谓〈上海土地章程〉为依据划定外滩在内的800亩土地为英租界。1849年法国也在英租界的南面划定亩土地为法租界。随后两国沿江开筑道路，称黄浦路，黄浦滩路。120xx年后也就是1945年，为了纪念伟大的革命先驱孙中山先生才改名为中山东一路。二十世纪二三十年代，沿江修筑起了二十多栋巍峨参差，各具特色的世界各国古典风格的建筑。并在此地区开设了110多家银行等经融机构，使之成为当时远东最大的经济中心。百年沧桑，上海政府于1992-1993年间对这一地区进行了大规模的改造。将原来的马路扩建成十车道的宽阔道路，并在北面建起来造型独特的吴淞路闸桥以此减轻外白渡桥的重负。随后又建起了延安东路高架，使该地区的交通更为通畅，更展现了国际化大都市的强劲活力。沿江则修建起防汛墙和绿色长廊，各类雕塑和建筑小品坐落其间更使得外滩诗情画意。
站在黄浦江边的观景台上，江风拂面，江面波涛粼粼，百舸争流，江上海鸥高低飞翔，可一览大城市港口的绚丽风光。隔江而立的东方明珠广播电视塔耸入云宵，国际会议中心造型优美，金茂大厦，中银大厦等跨世纪的摩天大楼更是欲与天工试比高，以及南浦大桥，杨浦大桥宏伟的气魄更使外滩借得美景。亲爱的游客们想必大家在此时已经很想一览外滩的壮丽风光了吧，那下面由我带领大家一起浏览外滩风景区。亲爱的游客门，现在我们站在外滩的观景台上，西面就是著名的：万国建筑博览风景线，北面可以看到绿树成阴的绿色长廊，黄浦公园和人民英雄纪念碑也在北面。隔江眺望则能看到陆家嘴经融区的摩天大楼建筑群。下面我将重点给大家讲解世界著名的万国建筑博览风景线。大家可以看到从延安东路高架下来一直到北面的外白渡桥，在中山东一路的西面成一字排开的20多栋西方古典风格的建筑，他们构成为了万国建筑博览风景线。
这些上海的近代经典建筑源于西方的古典建筑，所以要想了解它们则要把它们和西方的传统建筑联系起来，在比较中了馑?遣脑?蚣疤氐愫凸δ堋?/p>二十世纪二三十年代，上海凭借自身优越的自然条件和人文环境，特别是历代中西方文化以及南北地域文化不断交流融合所造就成的深厚文化底蕴，让上海迅速成为当时中国乃至世界的一个突出的经济文化中心。使上海成为当时世界建筑大师们竞相表现自身价值，展示自己不风身手的大舞台。其时大量外国建筑师的登陆，先期留学欧美的中国建筑师的回归，给上海带了西方先进的建筑理念和技术，当然也使得当时建造成的上海近代建筑渗透了西方建筑的影响。所以当时上海的近代建筑呈现出一派欣欣向荣的景象，留下了一大批价值连城的文化遗产。目前为止世界上还没有一个国家的城市能像上海一样拥有如此规模庞大。精美，技术精湛的近代建筑群。其中万国建筑博览风景线就是上海最为集中的近代建筑群。
Welcome to the Bund of Shanghai. I'm your tour guide today_________ You cancall me little. Today's itinerary will be provided by me for you. I hope myservice can get your satisfaction. I also wish you have a good time today.
The Bund was originally a place along the river beach outside Chengxiang,Shanghai (Town God's Temple). Formerly known as "Huangpu Beach", after theopening of Shanghai in 1843, the first consul of British Consul in Shanghai tookthe place of the Bund, and designated the Bund.
In the 1920s and 1930s, Linjiang built towering classical style buildingsaround the world, and opened more than 110 financial institutions. It became the"Wall Street of the Far East". In the 1990s, the tide of China's reform andopening up came to Shanghai, and the municipal government began to carry outlarge-scale transformation of the Bund, forming the city we see today The Bundscenic spot is like a wonderful staff. It is composed of "solidified music"World Architecture Expo and "flowing music" Huangpu River. Our friends to watchthese western classical style buildings, not only to pay attention to itsexternal beauty. And we should appreciate them as sculpture art.
In this "solidified music" music, 26 buildings, the buildings arescattered, just like the beating keys on the piano. The music is composed ofprelude, three climaxes, epilogue and other movements.
Its prologue is undertaken by the weather signal station in front of theflood control wall on the Bund. This weather signal station is an ancientarchitecture of "atuonupo" style. Its main functions are as follows: first, wecan have a look at the signs of various shapes hanging on the mast on the top ofits tower. This is to play the role of weather forecast. According to themeteorological information measured by Xujiahui weather station, it will be usedfor the fifth time in the day In order to ensure the safety of navigation, thechessmen of different colors are hung on the mast to announce the wind, wavesand other meteorological information outside Wusongkou to the ships. Second, wecan observe that there is a big ball on the mast that can rise and fall up anddown. At 11:45 on the next day, the ball rises to half the height of the mast.At 11:55, the ball rises to the top again. At 12:00, the ball falls back to itsoriginal position. I don't want to say that we all know what we do. By the way,he is the time desk. But with the development of modern informationcommunication science, there are so many kinds of clocks that they can onlyretire. In October 1993, in the second phase of the comprehensive renovationproject of the Bund, in order to protect this ancient building with more than 80years of history, it was moved 20 meters from its original position to thenortheast as a whole, and it was decorated to make it look new. At night, withthe light of blue and white, such as a huge crystal clear "Yuzhu", beautiful andmoving.
The climax in the solidified music is divided into three parts: the firstpart is composed of three buildings: Asia building, Shanghai Federation andChina Commercial Bank building. Due to the time constraint, I would like tointroduce the Shanghai Federation. It is located at No. 2, East 1st Road,Zhongshan, and was built in 1920___ It costs 450000 taels of silver. It wasoriginally a place for British expatriates to have leisure and entertainment.The building is Renaissance style. In the East facade of the building, threehorizontal sections are adopted, and the front door is taken as the verticalaxis. The decorative patterns of the left and right doors and windows aresymmetrical, making the whole building harmonious, symmetrical and stable. Inaddition, we can see that the third and fourth floors of the building aresupported by six Ionic columns, which are slender, about 9 to 10 times as highas the bottom diameter. The columns are banded, and there are curled up vorticeson their heads. They are the symbol of "female beauty". There are Baroque towerpavilions at the north and south ends of the top floor of the building,enhancing the height and luxury of the whole building. From a distance, he lookslike a perfect work of art in the hands of a sculptor. In addition, the interiordecoration of the building is also very elegant and luxurious. There is a 34meter long wine bar covered with Italian marble, which is known as the longestbar in the Far East. There is also a semicircular iron fence elevator on thenorth side of the lobby. This is also the earliest elevator in Shanghai at thattime. Now many TV dramas reflecting old Shanghai are shot here. The decorationof the building imitates the style of the British palace, so it is known as the"Royal Society".
Next to the Shanghai general meeting is the China Commercial Bank building,which is located at No. 6 on the Bund. It is a Gothic building with a classicalcolonnade at the front door. This is the first climax of solidified music.
The second climax of solidified music is composed of HSBC building andcustoms building. It is the most representative building in the WorldArchitecture Expo Group. The HSBC building, located at No. 11, East 1st Road,Zhongshan, was built in 1923. From 1955 to 1995, it was the seat of ShanghaiPeople's government and then used by Pudong Development Bank. The British claimthat this building is the most exquisite one from the Suez Canal to the BeringStrait. It covers the widest area, has the widest facade and is the largestbuilding. The whole building presents the classical style of Europe in the 17thand 18th centuries and is an ancient Roman building. On the ground floor of thebuilding are three Roman stone arches. From the second floor to the fourth floorof the building, there are six Greek Corinthian pillars. This kind of columnappeared in the prosperous city of Corinth in the Greek era. On the top of thecolumn, there is a bunch of leaves and flower vines, which is shaped like aflower basket and beautifully carved. It is a symbol of "the rich". On the topof the column, there is a Baroque spire. The most noteworthy thing is that italso has three rare treasures: the first one is a pair of bronze lions on bothsides of the gate, sitting north facing south, one with a big mouth open,sitting on the back The one in the South Dynasty and the one in the NorthDynasty is closed, which has the meaning of bank funds. It is said that themodel was destroyed after it was cast in England, making it out of print in theworld. The second one is a huge mosaic mural on the roof of the room, which israre in the world, with a total area of 200 square meters. The third is thatthere are 28 Italian marble pillars 13 meters high in the lobby of the building,which are all formed naturally. Four of them, if not spliced, are carved out ofpure natural boulders. It is said that there are only six in the world. Thereare four here, which shows its value. (the other two are in the Louvre inFrance). So that the whole building palace, which commands more than 20buildings nearby, showing a gorgeous and solemn style. It makes it the mosteye-catching in the whole Bund complex.
The customs building was built in 1920___ It costs 4.3 million taels ofsilver in 20__. The building is eclectic. The big clock at the top of thebuilding is made in imitation of the big clock of the parliament building inLondon, with a silver price of 20 yuan___ The remaining two. It is the largestclock in Asia and the world famous clock. The big clock has a diameter of 5.It's four meters long and three minutes long. 17 meters, 2 hours long. Threemeters. There are three pendulums of up to two tons in the clock. The clockopens three times a week, and it takes four people to wind each time for onehour. In addition, every day at a quarter of an hour, a piece of "Dongfanghong"will be played, and at the same time, a whole piece of "Dongfanghong" will beplayed.
The two buildings, known as sister buildings, are Shanghai's landmarkbuildings. The HSBC building is graceful and elegant, while the customs buildingis vigorous and straight. The two buildings stand side by side and complementeach other. They share the second climax of solidified music.
The third climax of solidified music is composed of Huizhong Hotel, Shaxunbuilding and Bank of China building. The theme of this movement ismodernism.
Huizhong hotel is located at the intersection of Zhongshan East Road andNanjing Road. Its sixth floor is at 23 Nanjing East Road. 1920___ Built in, ithas a beautiful appearance, with white fair faced brick as the wall and redbrick as the waistline. It is known as "Bund beauty". This was the site of threeimportant meetings. First, 1920___ The second is the 1996 Shanghai InternationalConference, and the third is 1920___ Representatives of 17 provinces of Chinaheld a meeting to welcome Dr. Sun Yat Sen back to China to take up the post ofinterim president.
Shaxun building and Bank of China Building Shaxun building were called "thefirst building in the Far East" because of the luxurious interior decoration atthat time. Now it's the North Building of the peace hotel. The outer image iscapitalized with the English letter A. The Bank of China building is the onlyone built by Chinese in the World Architecture Expo. It is 60 cm lower thanShaxun building. There is another story. When the Chinese capitalists thoughtthat the Bund was full of high-rise buildings of different forms built byWestern powers, which reflected the strong economic strength of the powers ofvarious countries, in order not to let us Chinese lose face, the Chinesebureaucratic capitalism also decided to build a building, which was higher thanthat of other countries, so the original plan was to build 34 floors, but laterthe owner of Shaxun building was also affected He said, "you Chinese peopledon't have any status. How can you build a building higher than ours?" so hefiled a lawsuit in London, England. As you can imagine, the Chinese people lostthe lawsuit. Later, they could only build 15 floors, 60 cm lower than the Shaxunbuilding. But the Chinese are still unconvinced that "there are policies at thetop and there are countermeasures at the bottom". Your building won't let mesurpass you. I put up two national flags on the bottom of the building. Thesetwo chess sticks are higher than your Shaxun building. You should have nothingto say this time? So the two chess sticks we see now are authentication. Theshape of Bank of China building has Chinese national characteristics, the bottomof the building is slightly tilted, and the cornice is decorated with a bucketarch. The window frame is a deformed form of Chinese coins.
The finale of solidified music is played by the Oriental Bank and Shanghaibuilding.
The Oriental Bank is a baroque building. The whole building is full ofconcave convex feeling and strong contrast. Now it is the building protectionunit in Shanghai. Broadway building is a modern style, and it is the best placeto enjoy the scenery of Huangpu River, Bund and Pudong. Premier Zhou onceaccompanied many foreign heads of state and distinguished guests to visit. Inthe 1990s, the company won the title of "top ten safety units" for foreignhotels.
Well, dear friends, this is the end of the whole explanation of what iscalled the frozen music Bund. I hope I can leave you good memories.
亲爱的游客，我们的车子行驶在延安东路高架上，还有十五分钟就到了上海的著名景点外滩了。我在此向大家介绍一下外滩景区的概况。
外滩是上海的窗口，是上海的像征，是上海历史的凝聚。他集中体现了上海作为中国最大的经济中心城市，国际现代化大都市的特点。又能体现出上海作为历史文化名城的特点。外滩景区是自然景观和人文景观相融合的风景区，又是西方古典风情与中国现代风情相得益彰的风景区，也是中国近代文化与现在文化交相辉映的风景区。
外滩位于上海母亲河黄浦江与苏州河的交汇处，与东方明珠景区隔江相望。它北起外白渡桥，南至新开河中山东一路中山东二路地区全长约1800多米地形呈新月形。在它西面有北京东路南京东路九江路汉口路福州路广东路延安东路金陵东路等几条各具特色的重要道路，它们是建设和发展外滩景区的重要支架。
外滩原是在上海城厢外，东北面的沿江滩地。旧时俗称：黄浦滩。1843上海开阜后，英国第一任驻沪领事巴富尔看中了这一地区，于1845年以上海道台颁布的所谓〈上海土地章程〉为依据划定外滩在内的800亩土地为英租界。1849年法国也在英租界的南面划定亩土地为法租界。随后两国沿江开筑道路，称黄浦路，黄浦滩路。120xx年后也就是1945年，为了纪念伟大的革命先驱孙中山先生才改名为中山东一路。
二十世纪二三十年代，沿江修筑起了二十多栋巍峨参差，各具特色的世界各国古典风格的建筑。并在此地区开设了110多家银行等经融机构，使之成为当时远东最大的经济中心。百年沧桑，上海政府于1992-1993年间对这一地区进行了大规模的改造。将原来的马路扩建成十车道的宽阔道路，并在北面建起来造型独特的吴淞路闸桥以此减轻外白渡桥的重负。随后又建起了延安东路高架，使该地区的交通更为通畅，更展现了国际化大都市的强劲活力。沿江则修建起防汛墙和绿色长廊，各类雕塑和建筑小品坐落其间更使得外滩诗情画意。站在黄浦江边的观景台上，江风拂面，江面波涛粼粼，百舸争流，江上海鸥高低飞翔，可一览大城市港口的绚丽风光。隔江而立的东方明珠广播电视塔耸入云宵，国际会议中心造型优美，金茂大厦，中银大厦等跨世纪的摩天大楼更是欲与天工试比高，以及南浦大桥，杨浦大桥宏伟的气魄更使外滩借得美景。
亲爱的游客们想必大家在此时已经很想一览外滩的壮丽风光了吧，那下面由我带领大家一起浏览外滩风景区。
亲爱的游客们，现在我们站在外滩的观景台上，西面就是著名的：万国建筑博览风景线，北面可以看到绿树成阴的绿色长廊，黄浦公园和人民英雄纪念碑也在北面。隔江眺望则能看到陆家嘴经融区的摩天大楼建筑群。下面我将重点给大家讲解世界著名的万国建筑博览风景线。
大家可以看到从延安东路高架下来一直到北面的外白渡桥，在中山东一路的西面成一字排开的20多栋西方古典风格的建筑，他们构成为了万国建筑博览风景线。这些上海的近代经典建筑源于西方的古典建筑，所以要想了解它们则要把它们和西方的传统建筑联系起来，在比较中了解他们产生的原因及特点和功能。
二十世纪二三十年代，上海凭借自身优越的自然条件和人文环境，特别是历代中西方文化以及南北地域文化不断交流融合所造就成的深厚文化底蕴，让上海迅速成为当时中国乃至世界的一个突出的经济文化中心。使上海成为当时世界建筑大师们竞相表现自身价值，展示自己不风身手的大舞台。其时大量外国建筑师的登陆，先期留学欧美的中国建筑师的回归，给上海带了西方先进的建筑理念和技术，当然也使得当时建造成的上海近代建筑渗透了西方建筑的影响。所以当时上海的近代建筑呈现出一派欣欣向荣的景象，留下了一大批价值连城的文化遗产。目前为止世界上还没有一个国家的城市能像上海一样拥有如此规模庞大。精美，技术精湛的近代建筑群。其中万国建筑博览风景线就是上海最为集中的近代建筑群。
Now we come to the Bund by the Huangpu River in Shanghai. First of all, Iwould like to welcome you to visit the Bund and wish you a pleasant trip.
There are five tourist routes in the new Bund. On your left hand side arethe magnificent buildings and spacious Zhongshan Road known as the "WorldArchitecture Expo". On your right hand side are the sparkling Huangpu River andPudong Lujia financial and trade zone with bright future. In front of you is anew and unique sightseeing area. The buildings, Zhongshan Road, sightseeingarea, Huangpu River and Lujiazui are like the staff in the music score, whilethe industrious Shanghai people are like strings of inter symbol, forming thelatest and most beautiful movement. Welcome to all the guests.
In short, it used to be a grassy wasteland outside the old city ofShanghai.
Although these buildings with European Renaissance style are not designedby the same designer or built in the same era, their architectural style is soharmonious and unified that it seems to be natural. From the the Bund road tothe outer white road bridge, the length of the arc is only 1.5 kilometers, androw upon row of 52 buildings of different styles, including English, French,ancient Greek, etc. At that time, many foreign banks, associations andconsulates gathered here, known as "Wall Street" in the East, forming ahistorical miniature of the semi colonial and semi feudal society in oldShanghai.
Please see, Dongfeng Hotel No.2 on the new Bund used to be a very famousBritish club. It is a typical British classical building. The building is 6stories high (including basement). There is a lookout Pavilion at the north andsouth ends of the roof. The interior decoration is very gorgeous. The firstfloor bar used to be proud of its 110.7-foot bar, which is the longest in theEast. Now KFC is located in the bar.
Before the new Bund 12, it was the famous "HSBC Bank". The building wasbuilt in 1923, which is an antique Greek style dome building. The building is arectangular building close to square, with five stories high and a halfspherical top layer. There are seven stories at the top of the building and asteel frame structure. The interior of the building is decorated with variousreception rooms in the United States, Britain, France, Russia and Japan. Thisbuilding was once regarded by the British as one of the most exquisite buildingsfrom the Suez Canal to the Bering Strait in the Far East.
The building next to HSBC is the Shanghai customs building, a 19th-centuryretro building, built in 1927, which is rare in the world today. The clock onthe top of the building can be seen all around. It plays a short tune every 15minutes. The sound of the bell is melodious and deep, with a sound of 10 Li.
After Wilson, the British designer, the HSBC building and the customsbuilding are affectionately called "sister buildings" in Shanghai, and they arestill one of the important symbols of Shanghai.
The two buildings at the entrance of Nanjing East Road are called peacehotel. The south facing building was built in 1906. It was called Huizhong hotelat that time. It is the earliest existing hotel in Shanghai. It can be used as ahistorical building, belonging to the Renaissance of British culture. Thebiggest feature of the building is that the facade is made of red brick withwaist line and white wall brick with veneer. From a distance, it looks solemnand elegant with unique style, which is a rare masterpiece.
These buildings on the Bund are the crystallization of the industriouswisdom of the Chinese working people, and also reflect the plunder and invasionof Shanghai by the western colonists. Nowadays, in order to let people know thehistory of these buildings, the Chinese and English nameplates are hung in frontof each building.
As for the Bund, the name given to her by Shanghai people has changed withthe passage of time. Shanghai people call the Bund before liberation the oldBund and after liberation the Bund. Now people praise it as the new Bund. Therehave been scenes of seizing the Bund many times in history, but each time has acompletely different historical significance. Since the Third Plenary Session ofthe Eleventh Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, the strategicfocus of China's reform and opening up has also changed from south to north. Thedevelopment and revitalization of Pudong has brought Shanghai to the forefrontof China's reform and opening up. The spring breeze has awakened Shanghai Bund,which has been sleeping for many years. Chinese and foreign financialinstitutions have also seized the Bund. Shanghai has made a major move to "cleanup the nest and attract Phoenix", replacing the houses on the Bund FinancialStreet, attracting "old customers" at home and abroad to settle down again,showing the style of "Wall Street" in the Far East again.
The Bund is a symbol of Shanghai and a must for Chinese and foreigntourists. But in the past, because of the narrow road and the crowded traffic,the overall image of the Bund was seriously affected. In order to change theappearance of the Bund, the Shanghai People's government takes the Bund as a keypoint to transform. The road in front of us is called Zhongshan Road. It isnamed in memory of Dr. Sun Yat Sen, the pioneer of China's democraticrevolution. It is also part of the comprehensive transformation of the Bund. Theroad is 826m long and 45m wide with 6 to 10 lanes. This wide traffic line is notonly limited to the Bund area, but also extends with the pace of reform andopening up. It starts from Jiangwan Wujiaochang in the north and ends at NanpuBridge in the south. By the beginning of the next century, the North-SouthCorridor will be 15 kilometers long and will become a landmark of Shanghaitourism.
The riverside road we are taking now is quite unique. It not onlyintegrates culture and greening, but also is a good place for people to practicewriting and martial arts in the morning, a place for tourists at home and abroadto visit in the daytime, and an ideal place for lovers to have a love talk inthe evening. It is said that many foreign friends have come to experiencelife.
Ladies and gentlemen, strolling in the new Bund Sightseeing Area, do youfeel that the new Bund not only has a new look, but also has a strong artisticatmosphere in the bustling city. Let's see: an artistic landscape with the themeof "for tomorrow" is set on the Bund of Yan'an East Road, embracing with sixcolumns and combining with the meteorological signal station with a history ofmore than 80 years to form a group of scenery. The customs building and theelectronic waterfall clock are also quite new. The electronic waterfall clock isa ladder type, 27 meters long and 3.5 meters high, with 10 full steps. The wholeoperation process is controlled by computer. There are more than 1000 jets ofwater in various colors of Arabic numerals, which makes the world so far awayand so close to each other. The tourist area has become a scenic line ofShanghai style culture that can accommodate hundreds of rivers.
Huangpu Park is facing the famous Huangpu River at home and abroad. "Theyellow water in Huanglongpu on the moon" vividly depicts the color of HuangpuRiver. Jiangpu river is the mother river of Shanghai. It originates from TaihuLake in Wuxi. It is the longest, widest and deepest river in Shanghai, with atotal length of 114 km, an average width of 400 m and a depth of 7-9 M. Itsoriginal name is Dongjiang, also known as chunshenjiang and huangxiejiang. It issaid that in the 20th century___ Many years ago, Shanghai belonged to the stateof Chu at that time. At that time, there was a great general named Huang Xie inthe state of Chu. He was very talented in governing the country. He wasappointed prime minister by the king of Chu and was granted the title of"fengshenjun" to govern the land of Shanghai. Due to the siltation of the upperreaches of Dongjiang River at that time, he led the people of Shanghai to dredgeand modify the waterway, which greatly developed Shanghai's water transportationand agriculture. In order to commemorate Huang Xie's achievements, latergenerations changed the name of Dongjiang River to "chunshenjiang" and"huangxiepu", which was not officially named "Huangpu River" until the SouthernSong Dynasty.
Overlooking the other bank, Pudong Lujiazui financial and trade zone andPuxi Bund are facing each other. Its functions are finance, trade and foreignservices. It will be the core and symbol of new Shanghai. "East Bund" BinjiangAvenue, with a total length of 2500 meters, integrates tourism, sightseeing andentertainment, along which there are six distinctive squares. Although I canonly smell the rumbling sound of piling, it is the most gorgeous movement on thestaff and predicts a better future for the Bund.
汇丰银行大楼
中山东一路11-12号，1923年建成，古典主义建筑风格，又带有新希腊建筑风格的装饰(唯一一幢)。英国人自诩“从苏伊士运河到白令海峡的最讲究的一幢建筑”。现为浦东发展银行。
是外滩门面最宽、占地最广、体量最大的建筑。主立面成横三段、竖三段的格式，大楼主入口由三个罗马石拱券形花饰细腻的铜质大门组成，券门左右置高低圆柱灯各一，铜狮一对。2至4层中段中部贯以6根希腊式科林斯柱子，其中2排为双柱。建筑顶部为古罗马万神庙的穹隆顶，顶端还有巴洛克式尖塔，犹如一顶巨大的皇冠，显出华丽庄严的风范。
“稀世三宝”
汇丰银行大楼门关的铜狮
为汇丰银行的重要象征物，张嘴吼叫的是“史提芬”，为香港分行总司理;闭嘴苦思的称为“施迪”是当时上海分行经理的名字。
八角门厅穹顶上的巨型马赛克镶嵌壁画
门厅的下半部是由8个圆拱形门洞构成的，圆拱的拱肩上镶嵌有16个希腊风格的人物造像。圆拱门洞上方8个主要的镶板代表东西方的金融中心，其象征分别是汇丰银行在伦敦、纽约、东京、上海、香港、巴黎、曼谷、加尔各答的八家银行。每幅壁画的主题人物是不同装束和寓意的女神。门厅里圆形天顶图案是：太阳神赫利俄斯驾驶着金色马车从东至西驰过天空，追赶着孪生姐妹月亮神阿耳忒弥斯;云彩承托着谷物女神色列斯手捧丰收之角，里面盛满了谷穗和各种水果，是丰硕的象征。整幅天顶画象征的是苍穹大地和日月星辰的生生不息。穹顶外圈是黄道12宫星座图像。
四根意大利大理石圆柱
在大厅大理石的工程里，特别值得一提的是4根用整块意大利天然大理石凿成的圆柱，没有拼接，每端布置两根。这些圆柱在意大利制造，每根柱子重约7吨，从意大利完好无损地运到现场。据说，世界上这种大理石圆柱只有6根，另2根在法国卢浮宫内。
上世纪80年代的外滩，夏日微醺的暮色里，滨江的百年老建筑群犹如一位洗尽铅华的贵妇人，不事张扬地默默伫立。借着阑珊的灯火，倚着长长的江堤，蔚为壮观的外滩“情人墙”，呈现出别样的美丽。
曾记否，入夜时分，从黄浦公园外白渡桥边到延安东路轮渡码头，千余米的水泥矮墙上，密密匝匝挤满了一对对情侣。他们伏身江堤，互不干扰，面对星星点点的江水，诉说冗长的情怀。有好事者在外滩北京东路到南京东路一段200米长的岸边做过统计，共有600对情侣在谈恋爱——平均1米内有3对恋人6个青年男女。这样的场景，从上世纪80年代初兴起到90年代初消失，绵延整整十数年。
说到外滩“情人墙”产生的原因，现在的年轻人恐怕难以理解。一位名叫“阿华头”的市民在博客里写道：当时，上海人家普遍住房窘迫，两代人或三代人同住一室习以为常。男女青年到了谈恋爱的年龄，如果上对方家里去，就必须在家人的目光关注下呢喃低语，尴尬之情，可以想象。到户外去吧，公园晚上一般都不开门，黑灯瞎火的地方又常有小混混骚扰或联防队员巡逻。那时候哪有什么咖啡馆、酒吧、舞厅可泡，情侣们的“活动场所”，只剩下马路。于是，“荡马路”就成了谈情说爱的代名词。
情侣们不约而同地要找一个既隐蔽又安全的地方，众志成“墙”，外滩“情人墙”就这样慢慢形成。趴在防洪堤上，脸朝着黑黢黢的江面，路过的人只能看到背影，熟人认出的概率也少了许多。当然，煞风景的事情也是有的，那时有些胳膊上戴着红袖标的纠察队员，拿着装有五节一号电池的强光手电筒到处乱照。情侣们稍有亲热举动，就大声吆喝：“文明点!文明点!”
上世纪90年代，外滩结合防汛墙的改造，建成观光平台，“情人墙”也随之不复存在，但青年人的活动空间，早已今非昔比。当年那些在“情人墙”上编织过五彩生活梦的情侣们，也许想不到，如今他们的子女正置身多么绚丽多姿的时代。关于外滩的玫瑰色记忆，不但是那一代上海人挥之不去的情结，而且也是这座城市永恒的风景。据外滩管委会20xx年估计，平均每天20万游人中，情侣大概有2万对。“想和你去外滩吹吹风”，又成一种新时尚。
The Bund, located on the Bank of Huangpu River in the Central District ofShanghai, is a scenic spot in Shanghai and a must for tourists to Shanghai. TheBund, also known as zhongshangdong 1st Road, is about 1.5 km long. FacingHuangpu River in the East and 52 buildings with different styles, such asGothic, Roman, Baroque, Chinese and western wall style, in the west, are knownas the "World Architecture Expo Group".
Facing the open mother river, Huangpu River, the Bund leans back on thebuildings with rigorous modeling and different styles. Because of its uniquegeographical location and its influence on Shanghai and even China in the fieldof economic activities in the past century, it has a very rich culturalconnotation. The Bund's riverside, levee, green belt and beautiful buildingsconstitute the street view, which is the most characteristic Shanghai landscape.In the morning, the Bund is a place for people to keep fit; in the daytime, itis a bustling tourist attraction; in the evening, it is a place for lovers tofall in love. When the lights start to shine, the buildings on the Bund areresplendent, like crystal palaces, which make tourists at home and abroadmarvel. Strolling here, we appreciate the style of Huangpu River, the motherriver of Shanghai, overlook the new appearance of Lujiazui area on the otherside of Pudong, feel the different flavor of metropolitan gardens among greentrees and flower beds, and enjoy the rare fresh air and sunshine in ametropolis.
The Bund got its name
Huangpu River is the largest river flowing through Shanghai. The source ofHuangpu River is located in Longwangshan nature reserve, Anji, ZhejiangProvince. As the Huangpu River is connected to the sea, it is affected by tides.On average, there are obvious rising and falling tides twice a day. The waterlevel drop in a day can reach more than 4 meters. In case of astronomical springtide, the water level drop will be even greater. (as for the source of HuangpuRiver, some said it was in Dianshan Lake, others said it was in Taihu Lake.However, it is rare to see lakes as the source of rivers in the world geography.Moreover, Taihu Lake is a shallow lake basin with water from many sources, whichcan not be regarded as a complete source. Only by finding the source of TaihuLake can we find the real source of Huangpu River. After investigation andresearch, Xitiaoxi, located at the foot of Longwang mountain, has a drainagearea of 2800 square kilometers with a length of 145 kilometers, 1.8 billioncubic meters of water. Its water supply accounts for 70% of Taihu Lake's watersupply, making it the first water source of Taihu Lake. Longwang mountain is thesource of Huangpu River. )
150 years ago, Shanghai was only a medium-sized County along the coast ofthe south of the Yangtze River. The shipping industry was very underdeveloped,and people did not have the necessity or ability to build embankments along theriver. Therefore, most of the river banks were natural beaches except theHuangpu River bank in Dongmen. At ebb tide, the river water stagnates in thecenter of the riverbed, exposing a large area of beach. At high tide, the rivernever crossed the bank. Huangpu River is the main channel of Shanghai. Becausethe river is wide and the water is fast, ships going against the river have topull their boats. For hundreds of years, the track of the trackers has steppedon a winding path on the Huangpu River beach, which is known as the "trackway",which is the earliest Road on the Bund.
In terms of place names used in Shanghai, the upstream of the river isgenerally called "Li", and the downstream of the river is called "Wai". Forexample, people in Shanghai today are used to call Hanyang road and Bridge onHongkou port "Lihong bridge", Changzhi Road and bridge "Zhonghong bridge", andDaming Road and bridge "Waihong bridge", which is named according to thelocation of the river where the bridge is located. Similarly, the first bridgeof the Suzhou River entering the Huangpu River estuary is called "Wai Bai Dubridge". The bridge in turn is also commonly known as the "Li Bai Du bridge"(now Zhapu Luqiao) and the three Bai Du bridge (now Sichuan Luqiao). Forexample, based on the county seat, the place close to the city is called "Li",and the place far away from the city is called "Wai". Today's southern urbanarea is named "lixiangua Street" and "waixiangua Street"; "Licang bridge" and"waicang bridge" are named after this.
The Huangpu River near the county seat of Shanghai forms a sharp bend atthe exit of Lujiabang, so the Shanghainese take Lujiabang as the boundary. Itsupstream is called "lihuangpu" and its downstream is called "waihuangpu". Thebeaches in lihuangpu are called "lihuangpu Beach" for short, and the beaches inwaihuangpu are called "waihuangpu Beach" for short.
After 1840, Shanghai, as one of the five trading ports, opened to theoutside world. In 1845, the British colonialists seized the Bund and establishedthe British concession. In 1849, French colonists also seized the Bund andestablished the French concession. From then on to the early 1940s, the Bund wasoccupied by the British concession and the French concession, and was called"the Bund of the British concession" and "the Bund of France" respectively. TheMinistry of industry of the public concession and the Council of the FrenchConcession are their highest municipal organizations and leading bodiesrespectively.
The concession is like a sovereign area, and the Western powers operate andmanage it in their way. With the construction of the concession, the Bund becamethe earliest and most prosperous place in the concession. In the early days, theBund was a center of foreign trade, where there were many foreign companies andtrade flourished. Since the late 19th century, many foreign and Chinese bankshave been established on the Bund, which has become Shanghai's "FinancialStreet" and also known as "Oriental Wall Street".
As a result, the Bund has become a "geomantic treasure land". Owning apiece of land on the Bund is not only a symbol of wealth, but also a symbol ofreputation. After commercial banks and financial enterprises occupied a place inthe Bund, they built the company building. Most of the buildings on the Bundhave been rebuilt for three or more times. Architects from all over the worldhave shown their skills here, making the Bund, which is not large in area,gather more than 20 buildings of different periods, different countries anddifferent styles. Therefore, the Bund is also known as the "World ArchitectureExpo".
For more than a hundred years, the Bund has always appeared in front of theworld as a symbol of Shanghai. It is the pride of the people of Shanghai. Itshows the world the culture of Shanghai and the excellent ability of integratingforeign civilization with local civilization, innovating and developing.

Hello, everyone! Welcome to Shanghai. I'm a tour guide of Shanghai travelagency. You can call me Xiao X or director X. Now, we are in the Bund area.Next, I'd like to give you an overview of the Bund tourist area.
The Bund tourist area is located at the junction of Huangpu River andSuzhou River in the mother river of Shanghai. It looks across the river from thePearl River scenic spot in Pudong. It is located on the 1300 sides of theZhongshan East Road.

Good, ladies and gentlemen. Due to the time limit, the general situation ofthe Bund tourist area is here for the time being. Next, let's visit the scenicspots.
各位游客，大家好!今天我要带大家游览的地方是上海著名的金融一条街，有万国建筑博览群之称的外滩，它是百年上海的一个影子，也是旧上海资本主义的写照。那现在大家就随我一起找寻下这片浦江土地吧。
外滩位于黄浦江和苏州河的交汇处，与浦东陆家嘴金融区隔江相望。它北起北苏州路南至金陵东路，长约1800米，地形呈新月形。
外滩原来是上海城厢外北面的沿江滩地，旧时俗称黄浦滩”，筑路后，名为黄浦路，1945年更名为中山东一路。那黄浦江的名字又是由何而来的呢?早在春秋战国时期，楚国有个十分有威望的人叫春申君，浦江这一带是他的领土，故上海简称申”，春申君名叫黄歇所以就叫黄浦江。它是发源与浙江安吉的龙王山，全长114公里，平均水深14米。但并不是从龙王山算起的，是从上海的淀山湖一直流往吴淞口来最后注入长江，期间经过10个区。那有人会问我黄浦江的水为什么是黄的呢?我就简单的和大家解释下。其实有三个原因。第一是因为黄浦江江底的泥土是壤土，壤土是介于泥土和沙土之间的一种土质，是又有泥又有沙的。第二是因为它流入的时候经过10个区，所以经过了一定的污染。第三是因为长江水的回流把一定量的沙土带了进来。基于以上三种原因所以黄浦江的水是黄的。
1843年上海开放后，英国第一任驻沪领事巴富尔，看中了外滩一带地方，在1845年以上海道台公布的所谓上海土地章程”为根据，划定外滩在内的800亩土地为英租界。1849年法国也在英租界的南侧划得986亩土地为法租界。但临江而立的巍峨参差、的世界各国风格的建筑群，是到上世纪初，特别是在二十、三十年代才建造起来的。它从这一时期起，逐步成为远东最大的经济中心的象征。经过百年历史沧桑的外滩，在1992—1993年大规模的改造工程后，旧貌换新颖，景色更为迷人，被中外游客评为上海最喜爱的风景点”。
外滩是上海标志性的景点，到上海必游外滩，否则就等于没来过上海，它的总体布局可以5条线来概括。1、万国建筑博览群(在这条路上有中外建筑26幢形成了一条靓丽的风景线)2、10车道的中山东一路贯通了四方的交通。3、外滩的绿化、城雕、喷泉。4、浦东新兴的陆家嘴金融贸易区。5、外滩情人墙
那我们就连着这几条线，把外滩迷人的风景尽情的欣赏下吧。
走到这里，我们先看下对面那幢不起眼的房子，它位于中山东一路和金陵东路口。现在看起来十分的不起眼，但在解放前他是上海比较高级的公寓房，里面的房间布置相当豪华，每个房间都有20平方左右，而且有独立的卫生设备，它是专门给在外滩工作的高级职员居住的。郭沫若先生在日本和他第2个老婆安娜生的儿子也在这里居住过。
首先我们在这里揭开外滩序曲的是这座具有86年历史被人们称为阿脱奴婆”式的气象台。他建于1920xx年的3月9日，他统高50米，包括上面的天线等，塔的实际高度为36.8米。这个塔原先并不是在这个位置上的，因为92年外滩改建的时候马路拓宽，修建新的防汛墙，基于这个天文台历史悠久，而且十分有价值，就把他从原来的位置向东北面整体移位20米，并对他进行装修。他在以前的作用是他可根据徐家汇气象信号台测得的气象信息。每天5次在塔顶桅杆上悬挂各种形状的标志，向往来船只告示吴淞口外的风浪和海浪等气象信息，以保证航行安全。另外在桅杆上有一只可以上下升降的大球，每天中午11：45分，球升到桅杆一半的高度，11：55分又将球升到顶端，12点正又将球升到原来的位置向往来的市民、船员报时，所以他也是中国出现的第一座报时台。但随着现代划信息传播科学的发展，它也只能退休”了，现在是外滩的历史陈列馆，有兴趣的话大家可以进去参观一下。
[上海总会]
现在我们位于中山东一路3号，现上海总会，原英国侨民活动的上海总会又称皇家总会。它1920xx年建成，耗资白银45万两，是文艺复兴式风格。所谓文艺复兴式风格的特点就是整体感觉给人十分均匀、对称。整幢建筑以正门为纵轴线，左右对称，显得和谐均匀而稳重。大楼的第三层与第四层之间，有六根爱奥尼克立柱，爱奥尼克立柱特点是柱身修长，柱身有条带状，柱头上有卷起的旋涡状，是女性美”的象征。除此之外还有其他的两种柱子风格叫多立克柱式，柱身粗壮，柱顶是突出的圆形，上方有方形的石头盖顶，是男性美”的象征。海关大楼地层就是用这种柱式。还有就是科林斯柱，此柱出现在希腊时期商业繁荣的科林斯城，柱顶有一束树叶和花蔓组成，似花篮状，雕刻华美，是富豪”的象征，汇丰银行和怡和洋行都使用这种柱式，以显示自己的财富。这里要和大家值得一提的是在这幢建筑中远东第一长酒吧台，有34米长。大堂北侧是环形楼梯，旁边有半圆形铁栏电梯，现仍能上下通行。市内装修由日本设计师承担，参照日本帝国主义王宫的风格设计，故又称之为东洋的伦敦”，这做优秀近代建筑已列为上海市文物保护单位。
[中国通商银行大楼]
位于中山东一路6号的中国通商银行大楼是一幢四层哥特式建筑。1920xx年建造。屋顶坡面陡，顶端原立有十字架。尖角顶的两侧原来也有小尖塔，如向上帝供奉的巨烛。第四层的窗户形状都像教堂的窗框一样，采用尖卷形。正门前有古典式柱廊。中国通商银行是1879年由盛宣怀筹资兴办的中国人自己最早经营的一家银行。
[大北电报公司大楼]
中山东一路7号，是一座文艺复兴式风格的大楼。该建筑注重统一、对称、稳重，外立面装饰甚为讲究。每层都采用了古典风格的柱子，或用来承重，或只作为装饰。窗户四周图形多样，立体感强，近似巴洛克式。它的黑顶白窗形成了鲜明的对比。同时也不失一种优雅的感觉。这楼是现在的盘谷银行上海分行，自1920xx年建成以来，它已四度易主，最早称为大北电报公司大楼。后为中国通商银行及长江航运公司所用。
[招商局大楼]
作为中国自己经营的第一家新式轮船企业——招商局就是在此期间创办的。招商局建于1920xx年，该楼宇为座西向东的三层砖木结构。底层正门框向外伸出，正门两侧有高敞的拱形落地窗，二、三层立面用古典柱式装饰。大楼局部外墙用花岗石贴面。招商局大楼可视为19世纪末20世纪初外滩建筑的典型。无论就具历史性或是艺术性而言，都值得我们前去观瞻一番。
[浦东发展银行大楼(原上海市人民政府大楼、汇丰银行大楼)]
中山东一路10-12号，属新希腊建筑，建于1920xx年，原系美商汇丰银行上海分行。美国当时将这座建筑自诩为从苏伊士运河到远东白令海峡的最讲究的建筑。建成时大楼门前放了两只引人注目的大铜狮，据说狮子铸成后，立刻就将铜模毁掉了。从而使这对铜狮成为绝版珍品，现已将其送入上海历史博物馆。文化大革命时期，其中一只狮子的尾巴被人锯了下来偷走了，后来没办法只好把狮子移进去，重新镶了个尾巴上去。现在的狮子并不是原版的，如果哪个人把当时的一截尾巴给拿出来的，也算是一宝了。该楼八角形门厅的顶部，离地面20多米高处，有8幅由几十万块仅几平方厘米的彩色马赛克镶拼成的壁画。它宽4.3米，高2.4米，分别描绘了20世纪初上海、香港、伦敦、巴黎、纽约、东京、曼谷、加尔各答等8个城市的建筑风貌，并配有神话人物形象，还有24幅为神话故事中动物的形态，顶部巨大的神话故事壁画，总面积近200平方米。世纪壁画间有一圈美文，译为四海之内皆兄弟，其象征了在新世纪到来之际，整个世界的和平繁荣”。这副壁画当时装修的时候是被人用涂料遮住了。说到这幢楼也有点历史故事呢。当时20xx年代的时候，此楼是美商汇丰银行上海分行，后来上海解放后，政府要回了这幢楼，汇丰银行就要把楼要回去，政府说这楼是国家的财产，是全国人民的财产，你要的话去和全国人民要去。后来没办法，只好罢休。解放后当时是做为上海市人民政府大楼。后来当时上海市长汪道涵首先提出要恢复外滩远东华尔街的风貌，提出市府大楼搬迁，把楼卖掉。对外公布后，汇丰银行便很想把楼给买回来，出资2亿美金买楼。市府领导请了英国的房产评估师到此评估下这楼到底值多少钱。那个评估师一到，仔细看了一下，还没看到里面的壁画，就说这楼没办法用金钱来衡量，因为想这样的建筑在欧洲也不多了，要我真的出价的话60亿美金。所以当时政府就把这幢楼开价16亿美金，汇丰银行原来准备出3亿美金买的，一听到16亿也就不买了。但此时市府人员已搬的差不多了，没人买也不是办法。所以当时浦东发展银行(也是政府的银行)筹集资金，用了3亿美金把楼给买了下来，反正便宜点卖给中国人总比卖给外国人要好。房子卖下来了总要装修吧，这里所有的东西都是那么的古老，一般人很难装修的，当时浦发银行就请欧洲人来，但价钱太高了，辗转反折后还是请了中国人自己设计装修。现在浦发银行的这幢楼应该算是外滩一带面积最大，最有价值的一幢楼了。
上海海关大楼
汇丰银行的姐妹楼”，建于1920xx年，雄伟挺拔，与雍容典雅的汇丰银行大齐肩并列，相得益彰。上海海关大楼结合了欧洲古典主义和文艺复兴时期建筑的优点，大楼门楣由四眼巨大的罗马花岗石圆柱支撑，以高耸的钟楼为轴线，气势非凡，建筑造型属新古典派希腊式，上段的钟楼的、则为歌特式，有十层楼高，是仿美国国会大厦的大钟制造，与美国的国会大钟是姐妹钟，在美国造好后运到上海组装。据说花了白银2千多两，是亚洲第一大钟，也是世界著名大钟之一。海关大楼巍然屹立在浦江之滨，它那铿锵、激昂的钟声象征着庄严，象征着使命。
交通银行大楼
中山东一路14号，建于1940年，占地1908平方米，建筑面积为10088平方米。属近现代主义风格。建筑设计强调垂直的线条，外立面简洁明朗。底层外墙用黑色大理石贴面，庄严华贵。进门两侧有紫铜栏杆装饰的人造环形大理石扶梯，上到二楼大厅，满目红色，富丽堂皇。厅内36根圆形柱子的的下半部分以及大厅四周墙壁均由红色瓷砖铺贴、装饰，地坪也是红色地砖铺成。大楼外观的凝重与内部的热烈使其别具特色，在古典建筑丛中更显现代气息。
华俄道胜银行大楼
是一座具有文艺复兴时期风格的建筑，至今已历了八十多个春秋。国民党中央银行、上海航天局、中国外汇交易中心都先后在此办公。该建筑结构坚实，装饰精致，以正门为中轴线形成对称结构底层大门有双立柱四根，两旁有洞形窗户。二至三层东立面有爱奥尼克柱子，窗户两边也有古典立柱装饰。外墙用白色釉面砖和花岗石相拼，色调和谐，底楼外墙用苏州花岗石轩石勒脚。楼内扶梯用大理石建成，二楼壁上有人物浮雕，巨大的精美彩色玻璃顶栅和回廊，至今还保存完好。
中国台湾银行大楼
现今招商银行上海分行之所在。该楼兴建于1920xx年，占地904平方米。整体上属于日本近代西洋建筑风格。东立面配于四根欧洲古典主义式的柱子。从而使其富有欧洲古典建筑风格，这不禁让人想起具有东洋伦敦”之称的东风饭店。这些楼与楼之间内在或外在的联系，使得外滩的建筑尤显和谐统一，建立一种整体的美感。
麦加利银行大楼
上海的第一家外资银行是丽如银行，就开在如今被人们称作麦加利银行大楼之内。大楼共五层，底层外墙用花岗石铺贴，内部地坪则是黑白对比的大理石。大门则是楼的主线，南北两边建筑造型对称。二至四层外立面有两根爱奥尼克式柱子支撑，第五层横面中段有6根方型柱子。刻以花瓣造型。为使建筑具有高度感，现顶楼加了三角形屋顶，更让人们感受到麦加利银行大楼的玲珑与别致。
友邦大厦(原桂林大楼、字宇大楼)
这里曾是外国在上海开设最大的新闻出版机构——《字林西报》馆。友邦保险公司于1998年正式整修入驻，故改名为友邦大厦”。大楼的立面分三个层次。第一层以粗糙的大石块为贴面;第二层用水泥粉刷;第三层两侧为穹形券窗，加配以造型优雅的塔顶，尽显了建筑的变化及文艺复兴时期艺术的匀称、和谐。
和平饭店南楼(原汇中饭店)
漫步外滩，有一幢白清水砖墙，红砖腰线的建筑特别引人注目，这座美国风格的六曾楼房就是和平饭店南楼，它位于中山东一路19号，原名中央饭店。是上海第一个饭店—汇中饭店。当时也是上海最豪华的饭店之一。其中有一间房间的浴缸是用24K涂金。这座建于1920xx年的饭店具有深远的历史意义。1920xx年万国禁烟会”就在这里举行，1996年又召开了联合禁毒署举办的上海国际兴奋剂会议”，并为万国禁烟会”立会址标志。1920xx年中国同盟本部也在该饭店召开了孙中山就任临时大总统欢迎大会。这一系列具有纪念价值的史实为和平饭店南楼增添了更多辉煌。
和平饭店北楼(原沙逊大厦)
和平饭店南北两楼错落而置，与南楼相比，北楼顿觉气魄豪华。高77平方米的大楼，由于内外装饰讲究而被誉为远东第一楼”。大楼具有美国芝加哥学派建筑风格，外形简洁明朗强调垂直感，花岗石的墙面，圆锥形的屋顶，紫铜的屋面，无部不渗透出古朴典雅之气。饭店内部设有英、美、印、德、法、美、日、西、中等九国套房。餐厅、大堂装饰富丽堂皇。还有颇受国外游客欢迎的上海老年爵士乐队，在此演奏世界各地名曲，使人仿佛置于一个世界文化与经典艺术相交融的殿堂。沙逊大厦是美国来华的沙逊先生建造的，当时他也是外国冒险家一员，以外国人的身份到中国来闯荡的，也是众多来华者比较成功的一个。当时来的时候身无分文。后来靠着外国人的身份做房地产渐渐的发达起来的。在和平饭店528房间曾经还发生过一起3J赢3A的一场十分巨大的赌博。那是和沙逊一样的外国人哈同和中国赌王之间的一场梭哈赌博。哈同也是来华冒险的一个外国人，也很成功，他名下的产业也很多，象比较有名的哈同花园就是他名下的产业。当时他们赌的一副牌的牌面，哈同是3A一个K还有个牌不知道，而中国赌王是3J一个A底牌也不知道。当时牌面上的赌资已经很大了，中国赌王背后的大老板是中国的多家银行。而最后中国赌王要求赌哈同所有的财产，按当时的规矩，赌博赌的很大的时候在还没有翻牌之前是可以要求封牌的。在封牌之后，中国赌王就派人去量哈同的产业，找人估计他的财产总额。让哈同以为他的底牌是必胜的。后来哈同为了保持自己的身价就放弃了，中国赌王赢了。但哈同并不甘心，他想让中国赌王给他看看他的底牌，中国赌王要求给100万看一张牌，哈同情愿出100万给他，底牌原来是个2，所以上海有句话叫癞无2底牌，就是很差的意思。现在的这间房是和平饭店最豪华的一间套房，里面有好多见房间。也有着悠久的历史。
中国银行大楼
外滩的建筑素以欧洲风格见长，而中国银行大楼是为数不多的具有中国民族特色的建筑之一。大楼分为主楼和次楼。外墙为金山石，屋顶为平缓的四方攒尖顶，上盖绿色琉璃瓦，楼檐上用斗拱装饰，是典型的中国古典建筑。东立面从高到低有变形的钱币形镂空窗框。大门上方原有孔子周游列国石雕讲述了一个个令人神往的故事。营业大厅的天花板上原来还雕有八仙过海”的图案。到处洋溢着古色古香的氛围。这些雕梁画栋、碧瓦飞檐同时也是中华民族智慧与勤劳的结晶，让后人得以继承和发扬。在建造此楼的时候也有个十分耻辱的事情，原先此楼的设计是造36层要比沙逊大厦高很多，但后来沙逊不同意中国人造那么高的楼，官司一直从中国打到国外，后来判下来不允许造那么高，中国银行大楼被迫减掉10多层，比沙逊大厦低了30公分，所以这也是中国人的一种耻辱。现在我们可以造亚洲第一高楼，乃至世界第一高楼也没有问题，洗刷了中国当年的耻辱。
陈毅广场
各位游客，这里是陈毅广场，也是外滩5条线当中城雕的一个展现。广场上的陈毅市长塑像展现。新中国第一任上海市市长陈毅的塑像昂然矗立，塑像坐北朝南，用青铜浇注，高5.6米，底座用红色磨光花岗石砌成，高3.5米，塑像再现了陈毅同志视察工作时的典型姿态，显示他一路风尘，勤勤恳恳的公仆形象，又有和蔼可亲，虚怀若谷的儒将风度。陈毅是上海解放后上海的第一任市长。我们在朝浦东方向看，从这里我们可以看到浦东陆家嘴繁荣的景象，高耸入云的东方明珠—上海新一代的标志性建筑，高有460米，有大小11个球体组成，意为大珠小珠落玉盘，它是由上海的设计师设计建造的。旁边有香格里拉五星级大酒店，金茂君悦超五星的酒店，他是亚洲第一高楼，高420米，54楼以下是写字楼，55楼到87楼是上海最豪华的酒店君悦大酒店。我们朝左边一点看有个直角形的转弯口，他就是陆家嘴的嘴巴，黄浦江的水自南往北流到了这里来了个90度的转弯往东流一直流向长江。外滩观景平台上的装饰花篮有36个，长板凳有24个，呈弧度弯出去的观景台有28个，地砖有14万块。
怡泰邮船大楼
中山东一路北京东路口，有一座看似平常但又富有趣味的建筑，它就是怡泰邮船大楼即格林邮船大楼”。该楼高7层，另有2层地下室。坚固厚实的花岗石拱券大门旁是古典式柱子。二至五层附有外展的阳台，七层顶楼还建有塔楼，雅致美观，整个大楼外立面简洁明朗，也是一座典型的文艺复兴风格的建筑。
正金大楼
建成于1920xx年，独具后文艺复兴时期的风格，与其他文艺复兴时期的建筑同样有着花岗石的外墙，明晰的主线，对称的造型，但少了许多繁琐的装饰，使其更显流畅。大楼底层用大型石块贴砌。整幢建筑给人以稳重感。二至五层有两根爱奥尼克式柱子支撑，显示出古典风采。内部大厅中长圆形玻璃天顶，造型典雅，工艺精美，是外滩的典型建筑。
怡和洋行大楼
自从1943年上海开埠后，国外商家纷纷开设洋行，怡和洋行就是最早的几家之一。此后英商在这里开展了大量的贸易活动。怡和洋行大楼位于中山东一路27号，是一座文艺复兴风格的建筑。大楼一、二层为一段，用花岗石垒砌轴线明显，大门和双侧窗框都用罗马半圆拱券石拱造型，正门上方有羊头浮雕装饰，显得庄重坚实，第三至五层又一段，有罗马科林斯柱式支撑，气魄雄伟，显示出浓郁的西欧古典色彩，第三层有石栏杆阳台，整段窗框上方有石雕镶嵌，第五层上方原有的平台，穹顶被拆除，已加高至七层。
东方大楼
即现在的市公安局交通处大楼原是法国东方汇理银行上海分行的办公场所。设计师用豪华浮夸的手笔，在教堂和宫殿中把建筑、雕塑和绘画结为一体,并用短檐、波浪形墙面、重迭柱及壁画，使建筑物产生神秘的宗教气氛。大楼强调立面装饰和处理，尤为注重建筑自身的比例。其上面是贯通的爱奥尼克巨柱，两侧厚实的墙面横向划分为三段，顶部出檐较深，并有精致的雕刻。底层门窗形成三个高大的楼门，居中是线状的浮雕。另外，大楼在小构体上也精雕细凿，力求完美可谓是巴洛克式的经典之作。
英国领事馆
建于1873年，楼高二层，近似文艺复兴式建筑风格，楼宇台基较高，底层竖向中段有五扇圆拱形窗，两边房间窗户倒是圆拱形。外立面整齐见变化。整幢建筑外立面原采用清水砖，层顶用中国蝴蝶瓦铺成，现外墙已采用水泥粉刷，大楼东面楼前有大草坪，环境更现优美。解放后，中国国际旅行社上海分社层设在这里，该社迁出后，由上海市外国投资工作委员会、上海国际经济贸易研究所、上海国际问题研究中心等机构设在这里。
除了上述地处外滩的大厦外，外白渡桥、上海大厦、俄罗斯总领事馆以及气象信号台与外滩的这些建筑浑然一体，勾勒出了一幅完整的万国建筑博览”的画卷。
人民英雄纪念碑
我们现在在为中国革命献出宝贵生命的革命先烈们的纪念碑钱，他是有三根直式枪杆冲天而上，寓意三个时期。1840的鸦片战争时期，1920xx年的旧民主时期，1949年解放抗日战争的新民主时期。原先这个碑是预计在1950年解放后一周年建造的，下面有块奠基石上面有陈毅市长的签名，由于某些原因，因故拖迟了。在城雕下面还有几副从鸦片战争到解放后的一浮浮雕刻。大家有兴趣的话可以看下。
外白渡桥
位于黄浦公园西侧，架在中山东一路，东大名路之间的苏州河河段上。1920xx年建成，是上海第一座钢铁结构桥，跨度52.16米，宽18.3米，是上海市区连接沪东的重要通道，过桥人流量，车流量很高。因为旧社会的时候，外国人在此修了座木桥，向往来的行人收取买路费，遭至很多人的不满。后来上海的几个富商酬资在木桥这里建了个摆渡站，免费为来往的行人摆渡，而且不收钱。而这个渡口是在桥的外边的，故称外白渡桥。
上海大厦
由主楼和副楼组成的上海大厦位于外白渡桥的北侧。这是一幢早期现代派风格的八字式公寓结构。外部处理与内部装修简洁明朗，外观气势宏伟。主楼原名百尧江大厦”。副楼又名浦江饭店”。现为三星级宾馆，饭店设有中、美、英、法、日、阿拉伯六国特色高级套房，曾接待许多国家元首及中外游客。
俄罗斯总领事馆

浦江潮：位于黄浦公园南大门内，它是大型青铜人像雕塑。一位身躯伟岸的工人，扬着风帆迎向袭来的巨浪，奋勇搏击。形象而动感强烈，表现出无产阶级力量无比，不畏艰险，勇敢前进，气吞山河的大无畏精神。作品主题是表彰上海工人阶级在革命和建设事业中的光辉业绩。
上海百年风云大型花岗石浮雕：位于黄浦公园下沉式圆岛上，浮雕全长120米，高3.8米。浮雕以写实的手法撷取具有典型意义的历史事件，表现了从1840年至1949年间上海人民的革命斗争。两翼为装饰性的花环图案，象征着上海人民对革命先烈的缅怀。浮雕可分为七组，97个典型人物，表现了先烈们伟大的斗争业绩。
好了各位，外滩的讲解就到此结束了，接下来给大家拍照自由活动的时间。
各位游客，大家好!欢迎大家光临上海。我是上海旅行社的导游，大家可以叫我小X，或者X导。现在，我们来到了外滩游览区。下面，我先把外滩游览区的概况跟大家介绍一下。
外滩游览区位于上海的母亲河黄浦江和苏州河的交汇处、与浦东的东方明珠游览区隔江相望，它北起外白渡桥，南至延安东路全长 1300米的中山东一路两侧区域。
外滩游览区的主要景点有被誉为"万国建筑博览群"中最高的海关大楼，在外滩门面最宽、占地最广、体量最大的汇丰银行大楼，充满中华元素的中国银行大楼和外白渡桥，以及上海的母亲河黄浦江、黄埔公园，还有世博会前夕竣工的四大广场。(周边的景点有百老汇大厦和正在进行综合改造的外滩源。)
外滩，原来是上海城厢外东北面的沿江滩地，俗称"黄浦滩"。1843年上海开埠后，英国第一任驻沪领事巴富尔看中了这块地方，就在1845年以上海道台公布的所谓"上海土地章程"为依据，划定外滩在内的800亩土地为英租界，沿江开筑道路称"黄浦路、黄埔滩路"。上世纪初前后，就有国内外银行入住，并逐步发展成为"东方的华尔街"。直到1945年，才改名为中山东一路。
解放后，特别是20世纪90年代和20xx年世博会前夕外滩经历了两次大规模的改造。值得一提的是：经过世博会前夕的改造，外滩游览区全面提升了外滩滨水区域的环境品质、更加凸显了"万国建筑"的历史文化风貌和特色、充分演绎了"城市，让生活更美好"的世博会主题，使外滩成为上海最具标志性、最经典的城市景观区域。
20xx年，外滩游览区以"外滩晨钟"之名，被评为"新沪上八景"之一。
总之，我们说：外滩游览区集人文景观和自然景观于一体、西方古典风情和中国现代风情相得益彰，是上海都市旅游中经久不衰的经典旅游景区。是国内外游客到上海游览必到的一个旅游景点。
好，各位游客。由于时间关系，有关外滩游览区的概况就暂时说到这里。下面，我们就去参观景点吧。
亲爱的游客，我们的车子行驶在延安东路高架上，还有十五分钟就到了上海的着名景点外滩了。我在此向大家介绍一下外滩景区的概况。外滩是上海的窗口，是上海的像征，是上海历史的凝聚。他集中体现了上海作为中国最大的经济中心城市，国际现代化大都市的特点。又能体现出上海作为历史文化名城的特点。
外滩景区是自然景观和人文景观相融合的风景区，又是西方古典风情与中国现代风情相得益彰的风景区，也是中国近代文化与现在文化交相辉映的风景区。外滩位于上海母亲河黄浦江与苏州河的交汇处，与东方明珠景区隔江相望。它北起外白渡桥，南至新开河中山东一路中山东二路地区全长约1800多米地形呈新月形。在它西面有北京东路南京东路九江路汉口路福州路广东路延安东路金陵东路等几条各具特色的重要道路，它们是建设和发展外滩景区的重要支架。外滩原是在上海城厢外，东北面的沿江滩地。
上海外滩旧时俗称：黄浦滩
1843上海开阜后，英国第一任驻沪领事巴富尔看中了这一地区，于1845年以上海道台颁布的所谓〈上海土地章程〉为依据划定外滩在内的800亩土地为英租界。1849年法国也在英租界的南面划定亩土地为法租界。随后两国沿江开筑道路，称黄浦路，黄浦滩路。120xx年后也就是1945年，为了纪念伟大的革命先驱孙中山先生才改名为中山东一路。二十世纪二三十年代，沿江修筑起了二十多栋巍峨参差，各具特色的世界各国古典风格的建筑。并在此地区开设了110多家银行等经融机构，使之成为当时远东最大的经济中心。
百年沧桑，上海政府于1992-1993年间对这一地区进行了大规模的改造。将原来的马路扩建成十车道的宽阔道路，并在北面建起来造型独特的吴淞路闸桥以此减轻外白渡桥的重负。随后又建起了延安东路高架，使该地区的交通更为通畅，更展现了国际化大都市的强劲活力。沿江则修建起防汛墙和绿色长廊，各类雕塑和建筑小品坐落其间更使得外滩诗情画意。站在黄浦江边的观景台上，江风拂面，江面波涛粼粼，百舸争流，江上海鸥高低飞翔，可一览大城市港口的绚丽风光。隔江而立的东方明珠广播电视塔耸入云宵，国际会议中心造型优美，金茂大厦， 中银大厦等跨世纪的摩天大楼更是欲与天工试比高，以及南浦大桥，杨浦大桥宏伟的气魄更使外滩借得美景。
亲爱的游客门，现在我们站在外滩的观景台上，西面就是着名的：万国建筑博览风景线，北面可以看到绿树成阴的绿色长廊，黄浦公园和人民英雄纪念碑也在北面。隔江眺望则能看到陆家嘴经融区的摩天大楼建筑群。下面我将重点给大家讲解世界着名的万国建筑博览风景线。大家可以看到从延安东路高架下来一直到北面的外白渡桥，在中山东一路的西面成一字排开的20多栋西方古典风格的建筑，他们构成为了万国建筑博览风景线。这些上海的近代经典建筑源于西方的古典建筑，所以要想了解它们则要把它们和西方的传统建筑联系起来，在比较中了馑们产生的原因及特点和功能?
二十世纪二三十年代，上海凭借自身优越的自然条件和人文环境，特别是历代中西方文化以及南北地域文化不断交流融合所造就成的深厚文化底蕴，让上海迅速成为当时中国乃至世界的一个突出的经济文化中心。使上海成为当时世界建筑大师们竞相表现自身价值，展示自己不风身手的大舞台。其时大量外国建筑师的登陆，先期留学欧美的中国建筑师的回归，给上海带了西方先进的建筑理念和技术，当然也使得当时建造成的上海近代建筑渗透了西方建筑的影响。所以当时上海的近代建筑呈现出一派欣欣向荣的景象，留下了一大批价值连城的文化遗产。目前为止世界上还没有一个国家的城市能像上海一样拥有如此规模庞大，精美，技术精湛的近代建筑群。其中万国建筑博览风景线就是上海最为集中的近代建筑群。
