Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. Did you sleep last night? Great. I'm sorry, the baggage was delayed last night. As the baggage car broke down, we had to ask for another one. By the way, have you opened your luggage? No wonder it's sunny outside. Our tour guide often said, "the guests brought the sunshine in the bag.". I thank you for that. Good well. I have announced the schedule for breakfast. Today we will go to the old city of the sea, that is, the location of the Yu Garden and the Yu Garden mall.
Our car is driving in the Bund. Your left is the famous Huangpu river. We'll be here later.
In order to save time, I would like to talk about Chinese gardens and Yu Garden before I get to Yu Garden.
In China, gardens are divided into three major categories: Royal Gardens, private gardens and temple gardens. Yu Garden belongs to private gardens. Chinese gardens have many skills, such as borrowing scenery, blocking scenery and so on. But they are all made up of four basic factors. These four factors are water, plants, buildings and rockery. Most of the private gardens are in the south of the Yangtze River, just because there are many water sources and stones suitable for making rockery. Yu Garden is the Ming dynasty built more than 400 years ago. The owner surnamed pan, is a senior official. He built this garden to please his parents and make them enjoy their old age. Therefore, the word "Yu" of Yu Garden takes its meaning of "Yue Yue". It's a pity that his parents could see Yu Garden fall and die. At the end of the Qing Dynasty, the pan family was weak and its descendants sold the garden to the local guild. There is another reason why Yu Garden is famous. In 1853, a sword Club uprising broke out in Shanghai, and a hall was used as the headquarters. Today, Yu Garden is a must go place. So I suggest that there we must not become separated, the best you closely, okay?
Here is the parking lot. If someone here, please remember the bus number three last number is 121. I think it's best not to happen. I will be holding a small red flag, all of you will accompany Mr. Zhang dianhou. Are you ready yet? Let's hit the road. Please pay attention to your bike when you get off.
Ladies and gentlemen, this is the famous jiuquqiao. Why is nine? Because it is the highest number of yang. Walk on the bridge and stay long. You can also enjoy the scenery from different angles. Also, it is said that ghosts can only walk in a straight line, so you don't have to worry about ghosts.
In the middle of the bridge, there is a pavilion, built in the Qing Dynasty, about 80 years ago, was converted into a teahouse. The old people like to come here in the morning, meet friends, make a pot of tea and chat. Generally they drink a green tea called Longjing. This teahouse is also the place where foreign leaders often come. For example, in 1986, Queen Elizabeth II of England came to Shanghai, also went to the teahouse to drink tea.
Indeed, it is also a pleasure to have a pot here. Imagine, on a summer day, when you come to the teahouse and sit by the window, overlooking the green pond full of lotus flowers. A cool breeze blew in the face. In the elegant Jiangnan Silk sound, you lift the teapot, slowly sipping lukewarm Longjing green tea. If you feel floating losses.
Would you like to have a pot? Sorry, I still can't let you go. Will it be OK for us to make a decision after we finish Yu Garden?
This is the entrance to the Yu Garden. When you walk into a private garden, the sight of what things are always blocked, sometimes is a rockery, sometimes this Su zhaobi. This is a garden skill, called "barrier landscape". Don't let you know one day, but let you see a part, and then achieve the effect of moving scenery.
This hall is called mount Du hall. As you all know, Shanghai is located in an alluvial plain, with no mountains or forests. So this mountain refers to the rockery opposite. It is 12 meters tall and weighs 80 tons. It has been a miracle in the past and even today. Because more than 400 years ago, no cement and plaster, people use cooked glutinous rice, add alum and lime, the stones together. So far safe. See the pavilion on the top of the mountain? Four hundred years ago, it was the highest point in Shanghai. From there you can see the Huangpu River on the fishing boat, sails, but these can only see in movies today. You can only see the top of their heads up. For the winding paths are covered with trees and stones. This is really the masterpiece of Zhang Nanyang, a gardener. It is also recognized as the best local rockery.
After the rockery, there is a dragon wall. This is a characteristic of this garden. There are five dragon walls in all. This way, I'm going to take you to a place where you can see another dragon wall clearly.
Ladies and gentlemen, this is the dragon wall I just mentioned. Dragons are actually imaginary animals. We call ourselves the descendants of the dragon. I wonder if you have read Pearl Buck's Dragon seed. If you've seen it, a lot of things are familiar to you here. Look at the dragon. You'll see it's a complex of many kinds of animals. You see, it looks like cattle, eyes like shrimp, horns, I do not look like cattle. We usually say a deer, a snake, a scaly fish, a claw like chicken or an eagle. Please tell me, how many toes do you see?. Three pairs. But the dragon should have five toes. Why three? There's a story. Previously, only emperors and royals were equipped with dragon designs. Pan Yunduan, the gardener, used the dragon as a wall. He was ambitious. Somehow, when the emperor learned of the matter, he sent for an investigation. When Pan Yunduan heard of it, he immediately knocked two toes. The delay officers arrived, master said: look, this is not long, only three. It is a wise man, otherwise he would be killed.
You said you wanted to take a picture. I think it's the best place for the dragon wall. Let me shoot for you. Don't forget to say "Cheese".

Because of its unique geographicalenvironment and hydrological and climatic characteristics, Chishui River hasbrewed more than ten kinds of famous wines at home and abroad, such as Maotai,Jiangling, Xijiu, Chishui Goujiang, Langjiu, huaijiu, etc. The "white" ofChishui is the purity of spirituality, the gift of nature and the mystery of"the unity of man and nature".
The "green" red water is a vast sea of bamboo and a forest of Alsophilaspinulosa. Bamboo sea and Chishui River are closely related. The vast bamboo seaconserves the water source for Chishui River and makes it continuously flowing.The surging Chishui River makes the bamboo sea flourish. They help each other tocreate a green world. Some people say that when you come to Chishui, you arehere to wash your lungs. There are pre glacial plants growing here, which arecalled "living fossils" of scientific research. They are of great value inscientific research and appreciation. They are first-class rare and endangeredplants under national protection. At this point, you can take as many deepbreaths as possible in Chishui. Some people even joke that you can sell a lot ofmoney when you go back with a bag of Chishui air in a plastic bag!
The "red" of Chishui has two important components. One is that it is themost incisive "magic stroke" of Chairman Mao's campaign, guerrilla warfare andthe battle tactics of winning more with less during the long march of the RedArmy. Although today's peaceful and happy life has replaced the smoke and war,the respect for "red" in people's hearts will never go away. The second "red" isDanxia, the world-famous geomorphic feature of Chishui. After a special visit toChishui by famous Danxia geomorphologists in China, they came to the conclusionthat "the Danxia Landform in Chishui is the largest in China in terms of itslarge area, typical development and spectacular beauty.".
Dear tourists, when you come to Chishui, you can see the "red" and "green"in your eyes, as well as the intoxicating "white". Have you been deeplyattracted. Today's Chishui has beautiful scenery, numerous delicious food, andpeople live and work in peace and contentment. In such a peaceful city, we oftenstay in it, and we are happy not to think of Sichuan. Let's enjoy themagnificent beauty, mysterious beauty, quiet beauty, and distant beauty ofChishui, and feel the beauty of harmonious existence between nature and humanbeings. This is a place you must come to in your life, and it is always open toyou!
Dear tourists
Good morning, everyone! Welcome to join the Guizhou tourism team ofChongqing air travel. I'm Mu Ke, your tour guide. I wish you a happyjourney!
It is believed that many people's understanding of Guizhou begins with thesaying "the sky is not clear for three days, the earth is not level for threemiles, and people are not silver"; I don't think the 38 million people of allethnic groups in Guizhou will agree with it, because its description isdiametrically opposite to the actual situation of Guizhou. "It rains at night,it's sunny, the roads are peaceful everywhere, and people are full of silverevery festival" is the real Guizhou. Occupying all the advantages of time, placeand people is actually "the treasure of China".
According to the two character "Guizhou", it is "Zhong, Yi, Bei, Zhou",that is, "a treasure state of China", which reveals the peculiarity and value ofGuizhou. What kind of treasure is Guizhou? It is the perfect combination ofheaven, earth and human. It is a pure land of nature and human culture.Guizhou's "sky" is clean, humid and pleasant; Guizhou's "Earth" is composed ofvaried karst wonders; Guizhou's "people" live in a variety of culturalenvironments and create splendid cultures and civilizations. Guizhou is locatedbetween 24 ″ 37 ′ N and 29 ″ 13 ′ n, which belongs to subtropical monsoon humidclimate with abundant precipitation, small temperature change, warm in winterand cool in summer.
Today, the earth's climate is getting worse and worse. In many parts of theworld, people are suffering from heat, drought, flood and sandstorm; Naturaldisasters are eroding people's homes on a large scale. However, in this preciousland of Guizhou, the weather is still four seasons like spring, three sunny daysand two rainy days, with fresh air and pleasant climate. It is like a rare largeair conditioner.
The unique natural climate and environment have created a wide variety ofgreen vegetation in Guizhou, which is the magic picture of "mountainZhangjiajie, Jiuzhaigou everywhere". From this, Guizhou has won the reputationof "Park province" and "air conditioning province". This is where Guizhou'scharming charm lies. At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, Liu Bowen oncepredicted: "in five hundred years, Yunnan and Guizhou will compete in Jiangnan."What does Yunnan and Guizhou win over Jiangnan? Liu Bowen said: "thousands ofrivers in Jiangnan are the most important mountains in Yunnan and Guizhou." Theconcentrated expression of Guizhou scenery is the vast mountains. Guizhou is aplateau mountainous area, with mountains and hills accounting for 95.2% of theterritory's land area. It is known as "eight mountains, one water and onefield". Those who have been to Yunnan may have heard of its "Eighteen monsters";there are also eight monsters in Guizhou this time
The first one: stone as tile
Guizhou's stones are very special, with clear layers. They can peel offpieces of stone a few centimeters thick. Using these pieces of stone instead oftraditional sintered tiles, although the area is not too uniform and neat, itsaves the cost of firing, and is stronger and more durable than tiles. Whynot?
Second strange: the old lady goes up the mountain faster than the car
There are many mountains in Guizhou, so the road is also difficult. Thewinding mountain highway has been circling around the mountain. Even if thefastest car can go up the mountain along the winding mountain highway, it has togo up one by one. Naturally, the distance is dozens of times of people's walkingpath. Therefore, when the car goes up, even the slow old lady will arriveearly!
Third: half of the houses are built on the mountain
Anshun Dragon Palace scenic area has many houses built close to themountain. By borrowing the mountain as the back wall and skillfully borrowingthe terrain, it also saves the stone of one wall. According to the commonpeople, this kind of house has the advantage of being warm in winter and cool insummer!
Fourth strange: shanbaoer is independent
Guizhou's mountains, especially in southwest and South Guizhou, areisolated and abrupt. Only the foot of the mountain is connected with each other.Far from Yunnan's mountains, they are connected by the same ridge, rolling andgreen peaks. Maybe that's where shanbaoer stands alone?
Fifth: growing vegetables on the roof
This is not a common phenomenon, but a special way, that is, when theresidents with good conditions are building houses, they often use cement toreinforce the roof, and then leave a parapet, spread good soil in the parapet,and grow some common vegetables, but they also end up with a feeling that theycan not ask for people without asking for them!
Sixth strange: chili as a home dish
Guizhou is located in the plateau and mountainous area. At the same time,the rainy weather makes up a complete humid climate. Eating chili often candrive away the cold and strengthen the body? Sometimes I don't understand. Onthe edge of the desert in the northwest, the residents in the setting sun alsohave chili after eating. So what are they doing? Maybe under the bad foodconditions, in order to have a meal? Guizhou residents, especially Miao and Dongpeople, like spicy food, but also acid . As the local saying goes, "if you don'teat sour food for three days, you'll walk around (meaning unstable)". Thus, twofamous dishes were derived: one is fish in sour soup. During the production, thetomato and ginger are put into the rice soup, stored in the earthen jar forfermentation, and then a variety of Chinese herbal medicines, Chinese pricklyash, green onion and Chinese toon are added to cook with the fish. The soup isfresh, tender, hot and sour, and the appetite is wide. The second is tiger skinpepper, that is, green pepper is roasted on the fire, torn into strips, mixedwith soy sauce and other seasonings, and served on the plate.
The seventh: three mice in a sack
The rats here, of course, refer to the giant rats. Each mouse weighsseveral kilos and can be packed into a sack.
However, this monster should be the same as the three mice and a sack inYunnan.
The eighth: take it with you in the toilet
It refers to the fact that there were few toilets in the past, and the longskirts of Miao people made it convenient to use the toilet everywhere. InGuizhou, more than 40 ethnic minorities, such as Miao, Dong and Buyi, live inharmony and have colorful ethnic customs. Women especially like to dress up withsilver ornaments. It is said that a Miao woman's silver ornaments weigh 16 kg.However, when working in the field, they don't wear accessories, and they oftenwear skirts (also known as hundred fold skirts) on their lower body. When youneed to "release", you can squat down at any time, and the skirt opens around,just like a natural toilet.
Also heard another guide said: the uglier the better sell (GuizhouGastrodia elata) bark as medicine to sell (Guizhou Eucommia ulmoides) wine notfloating at home abroad (Guizhou Maotai)

Containing examples of the ancient arts， it also has graceful landscapes and magnificent constructions. The Summer Palace is the archetypal Chinese garden， and is ranked amongst the most noted and classical gardens of the world. In 1998， it was listed as one of the World Heritage Sites by UNESCO.
Constructed in the Jin Dynasty (1115-1234)， during the succeeding reign of feudal emperors; it was extended continuously. By the time of the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911)， it had become a luxurious royal garden providing royal families with rest and entertainment. Originally called "Qingyi Garden" (Garden of Clear Ripples)， it was know as one of the famous "three hills and five gardens" (Longevity Hill， Jade Spring Mountain， and Fragrant Hill; Garden of Clear Ripples， Garden of Everlasting Spring， Garden of Perfection and Brightness， Garden of Tranquility and Brightness， and Garden of Tranquility and Pleasure). Like most of the gardens of Beijing， it could not elude the rampages of the Anglo-French allied force and was destroyed by fire.

颐和园是我国现存最完好、规模最宏大的古代园林。位于北京市海淀区境内，距天安门20余公里，占地290公顷。
颐和园原为封建帝王的行宫和花园，远在金贞元元年(1153年)即在这里修建“西山八院”之一的“金山行宫”。明弘治七年(1494年)修建了园静寺，后皇室在此建成好山园。1664年清廷定都北京后，又将好山园更名为“瓮山行宫”。清乾隆年间，经过2019年的修建工程，将该园改名为“清漪圆”。此时的清漪园，北自文昌阁至西宫门筑有围墙，东、南、西三面以昆明湖水为屏障，园内修建了许多亭台楼阁，桥廊斋榭，山清水秀，富丽堂皇。咸丰十年(1860年)，英法联军疯狂抢劫并焚烧了园内大部分建筑，除宝云阁(俗称“铜亭”)智慧海、多宝琉璃塔幸存外，珍宝被洗劫一空，建筑夷为一片废墟。光绪十四年(1888年)慈待太后挪用海军经费3000万两白银，在清漪园的废墟上兴建起颐和园。光绪二十六年(192019年)颐和园又遭八国联军的野蛮破坏，后慈禧又动用巨款重新修复。数百年来，这里一直是封建帝王、皇室的享乐之地，解放辟为公园。1961年国务院公布颐和园为全国重点文物保护单位。
颐和园包括万寿山、昆明湖两大部分，园内山水秀美，建筑宏伟。全园有各式建筑3000余间，园内布局可分为政治、生活、游览三个区域。政治活动区，以仁寿段为中心，是过去慈禧太后和光绪皇帝办理朝事、会见朝臣、使节的地方。生活居住区，以玉澜堂、宜芸馆、乐寿堂为主体，是慈禧、光绪及后妃居住之地。风景游览区，以万寿山前山、后山、后湖、昆明湖为主，是全园的主要组成部分。
在世界古典园林中享有盛誉的颐和园，布局和谐，浑然一体。在高60米的万寿山前山的中央，纵向自低而高排列着排云门、排云股、德辉殿、佛香阁、智慧海等一组建筑，依山而立，步步高升，气派宏伟。以高大的佛香阁为主体，形成了全园的中心线。沿昆明湖北岸横向而建的长廊，长728米，共273间，像一条彩带横跨于万寿山前，连结着东面前山建筑群。长廊中有精美柁画 14000多幅，素有“画廊”之美称。位于颐和园东北角，万寿山东麓的谐趣园，具有浓重的江南园林特色，被誉为 “园中之园”。
占全园总面积四分之三的昆明湖，湖水清澈碧绿，景色宜人。在广阔的湖面上，有三个小岛点缀，其主要景物是西堤、西堤六桥、东堤、南湖岛、十七孔桥等。湖岸建有廓如亭、知春亭、凤凰墩等秀美建筑，其中位于湖西北岸的清晏舫(石访)中西合璧，精巧华丽，是园中著名的水上建筑。后山后湖，林茂竹青，景色幽雅，到处是松林曲径，小桥流水，风格与前山迥然不同。山脚下的苏州河，曲折蜿蜒，时狭时阔，颇具江南特色。在岸边的树丛中建有多宝琉璃塔。后山还有一座仿西藏建筑——香岩宗印之阁，造型奇特。苏州街原为宫内的民间买卖街，现已修复并向游人开放。拥山抱水，绚丽多姿的颐和园，体现了我国造园艺术的高超水平。
