用英语介绍北京
Beijing is an ancient city with a long history. Back in 3000 years ago in Zhou dynasty, Beijing, which was called Ji at the moment, had been named capital of Yan. Thereafter, Liao, Jin, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasty all made Beijing their capital. Therefore, Beijing was famous for "Capital of a thousand years".
The long history leaves Beijing precious cultural treasure. Winding for several kilometers in Beijing area, the Great Wall is the only man-made structure that could been seen in the space. The Summer Palace is a classic composition of ancient royal gardens, and the Forbidden City is the largest royal palaces in the world. Tiantan is where the emperor used to fete their ancestors, and also the soul of Chinese ancient constructions. The four sites above has been confirmed world cultural heritage by UNESCO. However, the best representatives for Beijing are the vanishing Hutongs and square courtyards. Through hundreds of years, they have become symbol of Beijing's life. Tian'anmen square being still brilliant today with cloverleaf junctions and skyscrapers everywhere, the old-timey scene and modern culture are combined to present a brand new visage of Beijing.
As Beijing has been confirmed home city of Olympics 2008, the spirit of "green Olympics, scientific Olympics and humanized Olympic" will surely bring more and more changes to Beijing, promote the development of sports and Olympics in China as well as in the world, and strengthen the friendly communications between Chinese and foreign people.
The Temple of Heaven was initially built in Yongle year 18 of the Ming Dynasty (in 1420). Situated in the southern part of the city, it covers the total area of 273 hectares. With the additions and rebuild during the Ming, Qing and other Dynasties, this grand set of structures look magnificent and glorious, the dignified environment appears solemn and respectful, it is the place for both Ming and Qing Dynasty's Emperors to worship Heaven and pray for good harvest. The northern part of the Temple is circular while the southern part is square, implies "sky is round and earth is square" to better symbolize heaven and earth. The whole compound is enclosed by two walls, dividing the whole Temple into inner and outer areas, with the main structures enclosed in the inner area. The most important constructions are the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvest, the Circular Mound Altar, Imperial Heaven, The Imperial Vault of Heaven, Heaven Kitchen, Long Corridor and so on, as well as the Echo Wall, the Triple-Sound Stone, the Seven-Star Stone and others of historic interest and scenic beauty. The Temple
of Heaven is a comprehensive expression of the unique construction techniques from Ming and Qing Dynasties, it is China's most treasured ancient architecture,
it is also the world's largest architectural complex for worship heaven. In 1998, it was included in the "list of the world heritages" by the United Nation's Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization.
Do you know? There are four wonderful sounds in the Temple of Heaven! It's worth your time to study the four wonderful sounds.
1. The echo from the Echo Wall - There is a circular wall around The Imperial Vault of Heaven, this is the famous Echo Wall. One person's mere whisper at any point close to the wall can be heard clearly on the other side if you draw your ear close to the wall, it is so clear that it is like talking on the phone. Do you want to know why? This is possible because the wall is round and hermetically constructed with smooth, solid bricks, so the sound wave can transmit to the
other side via the extremely smooth inner circle.
2. The sound of the Dialogue Stone - If you speak while standing on the 18th stone in front of The Imperial Vault of Heaven, the sound can clearly pass to the northeast corner of the north side hall and the northwest of the west side hall that are both 36 meters away. The sound can be heard just as well on the stone
when speaking from the corners of these two side halls, this is what we call the "Sound of the Dialogue Stone".
3. Repeating sounds of the Triple-Sound Stone - In front of the steps leading away from the hall is the Triple-Sound Stone. If you stand on the first stone and call out or clap your hands, the sound will echo once; on the second stone, the sound will be heard twice; and on the third stone, the sound will repeat three times. Hence it inherited the name. This is because the distances that the sound wave reflected from the round wall to the stone are different, the number of echo is also different. Take a guess which flagstone is at the center of the Echo Wall's? The third one. The echo actually gets repeated more than 3 times, it's just the sound is too weak to be heard after the 4th echo.
4. The hollow of the Heaven's Center Stone - There is a stone plate in the center of the Circular Mound Altar called the Heaven's Center Stone. Shouting aloud standing above, you will hear the reverberation of the echo. This is due to the refraction of the sound.
Beijing Municipality
As the capital of the People's Republic of China, Beijing is the nation's political, economic, cultural and educational center as well as being the most important
center in China for international trade and communications. It has been the heart and soul of politics and society throughout its long history. By the time of the Warring States Period (476 BC - 221 BC), it was serving as the capital of the Yan Kingdom. Because of its role in the life and growth of China, there is an unequalled wealth available for travelers to discover as you explore Beijing's ancient past and enjoy its exciting 21st Century world. In 2008 when Beijing hosts the Olympic Games, Beijing will show the world something so special that everyone will be awestruck by Beijing's latest accomplishments combined with its ancient history.
What to see
The magnificent Forbidden City is the world's largest and best-preserved imperial palace complex. Surrounded by a moat that is six meters deep and a ten-meter high wall are 9,999 rooms - just one room short of the number that ancient Chinese believed represented divine perfection. Once having entered the Forbidden City, visitors are transported to a spacious world of great luxury that had a culture of its own. For five centuries, this palace functioned as the administrative center of the country as well as being the pleasur"Tian'anmen Tower"e home of the emperors and empresses who were served by thousands of people. Walking along the corridors and through various rooms it becomes easy to understand the impact of the rulers who lived here and their isolation from the rest of Chinese life. Regardless of how much history you have read, or movies featuring the Forbidden City you have seen, the place itself is not to be missed by any Beijing visitor. (Self-guided audio tour tapes are available in several languages at the entrance.)
For a peaceful and interesting stroll, visit one of Beijing's many beautiful parks, such as Beihai Park, which was probably built by the Great Khan centuries earlier than the Forbidden City. This park was enjoyed by the various rulers of China for hundreds of years and features pavilions, architecturally interesting walkways, the 27-meter-long (about 88 feet) Nine Dragon Screen (built to scare off evil spirits), a jar that is the last remnant of the Khan's court that had been there, the Five Dragon Pavilion dating from the mid 1600's, and a large lake with an island in the middle. Another park that is a definite "must see" is the Summer Palace, a famous classic imperial garden with breathtaking beauty. Bold and generously designed, the northern gardens skillfully blend into the exquisite delicacy of the southern gardens. The Summer Palace holds a special place in the history of Chinese gardens. These are only two of the many majestic gardens in Beijing. Sometimes, you can find exceptional gardens within or surrounding Beijing's many ancient temples.
Beijing has many beautiful temples that at one time served as the focus for religious life. Temple of Heaven is the largest group of structures in the country dedicated to rituals that pay homage to heaven. This temple was built specifically for the worship of heaven and prayers for good harvests during the time of the
Ming and Qing dynasties. There are two amazing acoustical spots here. On the top of the tri-leveled round altar (originally built in the 1500's) there is a spot where your words reverberate around you. You can easily imagine the power that temporal rulers felt as their prayers for abundance echoed as if they issued down from the heavens. The other is at the Echo Wall that partially encloses a circular courtyard that is 65 meters (213 feet) in diameter. Words whispered at one end travel along the wall and can be heard clearly by someone listening at the other end. The entire temple complex is a treasure of ancient Chinese architectural design and art. Symbolic shape combinations (the temples are round on square bases signifying heaven and earth) and various mystical numbers are the basis for much of the design work. The temple structures themselves are stunning works of art. All of this and more is set in the midst of a beautiful park.
There are many other fascinating temples in Beijing, among which are: the Yunju Temple, which houses the most stone inscriptions of Buddhist scriptures in the world, the White Cloud Taoist Temple, which is one of the oldest and still the most active of Taoist temples in Beijing, and the Temple of Confucius. Visiting these temples can help elucidate three primary philosophies that formed the basis for early Chinese life and culture. For example, much of traditional Chinese medicine's principles and theories were derived from the work of Taoist doctors and masters.
The largest city central square in the world, the solemn and respectful Tiananmen Square is not only the symbol of Beijing but also the symbol of China. This immense courtyard is the site of many historic events. The square is surrounded by a variety of significant edifices: Chinese Revolution History Museum, Mao Mausoleum, Great Hall of the People, the elegant and beautiful Tiananmen (Heavenly Peace Gate), and Qianmen (Front Gate). The daily flag ceremony at the square, performed at sunrise and sunset each day, is most exceptional and well-worth making time to view.
Zhong Nan Hai The Great Wall is one of the eight wonders of the world and is the only man-made structure that is visible from the moon. This immense wall was built to keep out invaders as well as to retain the inhabitants. It spans five provinces (6,700 kilometers, or 2,587 miles) from Shanhaiguan Pass in the east to Jiayuguan Pass in the west. Like a gigantic dragon, it winds up and down across deserts, grasslands and mountains. Just outside Beijing, it is possible to climb a section of the Great Wall and enjoy a splendid panoramic view that you will remember for the rest of your life.
Other famous Beijing attractions include the Ming Tombs, the burial site of 13 ancient emperors; the Drum Tower built in the 1400's; Tiantan Park with its excellent Ming architectures; Fragrant Hills Park; the Ancient Observatory that dates back to the days of Kublai Khan; The Silk Market; Botanical Gardens; the Indian-designed Temple of Azure Clouds and many, many more wondrous
places. Any reader of the classic The Dream of Red Mansions will want to visit Prince Gong's Mansion of the 18th Century, which is purported to be the model for mansion in the novel.
History
How can one city boast so many phenomenal places? Beijing's long and illustrious history starts approximately 500,000 years ago. It is here that the ancestors of modern Homo sapiens, Peking men, lived in caves. Records show that Beijing has been an inhabited city for more than three thousand years and has lived through invasions, devastating fires, dynasties, warlords, Anglo-French troops and has emerged each time as a strong and vibrant city. For more than 800 years, Beijing was a capital city - from the Yuan Dynasty to the Ming and Qing dynasties. Thirty-four emperors have lived and ruled in Beijing and it has been an important trading city from earliest days. Although now Beijing is modern, fashionable and full of 21st Century vitality, you can experience authentic Beijing life and become acquainted with "old Beijing" by exploring many tea houses, temple fares, Beijing's Hutong and Courtyard and enjoy the Peking Opera. Adding these to your Beijing tour, you will leave feeling in your heart a special appreciation for this ancient city that has truly seen it all and tells its story with matchless grace and beauty.

老北京传统小吃文化调查
老北京传统小吃文化调查 ——以隆福寺小吃和九门小吃为例 摘要：老北京传统小吃历史悠久，驰名中外，是北京独树一帜的文化符号。如今，随着北京现代化建设的推进，街头巷尾的老北京小吃逐渐难觅踪迹，它们逐渐走进了商业化的餐厅之中。本文作者实地考察了北京市东城区的两家老北京小吃店，并与食客进行了充分的访谈。在实践的基础上，本文给出了老北京小吃文化在北京的大致发展现状，并对其现状进行了简单分析，最后给出了相应的政策建议。 关键词：老北京小吃文化商业化 一、背景介绍 北京小吃历史悠久，种类丰富，深受老百姓的喜爱。老北京小吃的历史最早可以追溯到北京建都之时。发展至今，一些老北京小吃已经有数百年的历史，时间短一些的至少也有100 多年。清代《都门竹枝词》写到：“日斜戏散归何处，宴乐居同六和局。三大钱儿买甜花，切糕鬼腿闹喳喳，清晨一碗甜浆粥，才吃茶汤又面茶；凉果糕炸糖耳朵，吊炉烧饼艾窝窝，叉子火烧刚卖得，又听硬面叫饽饽；烧麦馄饨列满盘，新添挂粉好汤圆，爆肚油肝香灌肠，木须黄菜片儿汤。”这些小吃都在庙会或沿街集市上叫卖，人们无意中就会碰到，老北京形象地称之为“碰头食”。 其实，与苏杭地区的一些特产食品相比，老北京小吃绝对算不上什么精制的美食，恰恰相反，它们大多是底层大众专属的底层食品，大多由贫苦的旧社会生活中衍变而来。最为显著的例子非豆汁和焦圈莫属了：豆汁儿是制造绿豆粉丝的下脚料，焦圈则与炸油条基本无异。这两者搭配便是老北京小吃的一绝，显然，两种食物都是绝难登大雅之堂的，但以它们为代表的北京小吃却恰恰迎合了普通北京百姓的平民口味；正是因为反映了普通百姓生活的人生百味，因此老北京小吃才会深受人们的喜爱。 老北京小吃也包含着许多文化内涵。很多名人为其作诗作文进行称颂。比如，“红糖水馅巧安排，黄面成团豆里埋。何事群呼‘驴打滚’，称名未免近诙谐。”描述了驴打滚有趣的名字。“从来食物属燕京，豌豆黄儿久著名。红枣都嵌金屑里，十文一块买黄琼。”描述了豌豆黄的精致和美味。“一锅豆汁味酸甜，咸菜乘来两大盘；此是北平新食品，请君莫作等闲看。”描写出豆汁的受人喜爱。这些普通小吃看起来毫不起眼，然而从其名称到制作、从历史沿革到经营过程，无不与北京深厚的文化底蕴密切联系着。因此，当这些小吃流传至今的时候，它们所形成的饮食文化也延续下来，成为最最真切的北京的符号。 然而，老北京小吃的发展似乎逐步陷入了困境。近年来，一些老字号小吃长期无法保持盈利，不得不关门停业，从历史舞台消失。据不完全统计，老北京传统小吃曾经多达两三千种，而如今能做的出、吃的到的仅剩二三百种，很多老北京小吃已经几乎看不到也吃不到了。2008年的前门大街改造，便是老北京小吃在北京城中生存历史变迁的一个缩影：前门本是老北京众多老字号小吃的集中地，但是为了迎接奥运会，整条大街进行了修整。整个北京为新的前门大街该装配什么样的店铺展开了激烈的辩论，而最终，前门大街成为了一条国际化的步行街，老字号小吃几乎消失踪影，取而代之的是麦当劳、肯德基等洋快餐。北京选择这一转变的正确与否，至今仍有人在不断质疑。
关于武汉的英文简介
武汉位于中国中部，是湖北省省会和政治、经济及文化中心。世界第三大河长江及其最大的支流汉水在此相汇，市区由隔江鼎立的武昌、汉口、汉阳三部分组成，通称武汉三镇。唐代大诗人李白的一句“黄鹤楼中吹玉笛，江城五月落梅花”，使这座中国腹地的特大中心城市自古有着“江城”的美誉。全市现辖13 个区、3 个国家级开发区（武汉经济技术开发区、东湖新技术开发区、吴家山台商投资区），总面积8494 平方公里，常住人口858 万人。 武汉的城市文明历史可追溯到3500 年前的盘龙城。这是长江流域发掘出的最古老的城池，被学者认为是长江流域文明和黄河流域文明融合的突破口。3500 年间，因水运发达，物产丰富，这里从来就是兵家必争之地，并由军事中心进而发展为区域性政治商贸中心，武汉也因此拥有融汇多元文化的优势和特质。辛亥革命的首义文化铸就了武汉人敢为天下先的人文精神。 武汉是一座典型的山水园林城市。上百座大小山峦遍布三镇，近两百个湖泊座落其间，水域面积占到全市国土面积的四分之一，居全国大城市之首。其中东湖水域面积33 平方公里，是中国最大的城中湖。 武汉历来被称为＂九省通衢＂之地，是中国内陆最大的水陆空交通枢纽．它距离北京，上海，广州，成都，西安等中国大城市都在１０００公里左右，是中国经济地理的＂心脏＂，具有承东启西、沟通南北、维系四方的作用。巨大的区位交通优势推动了武汉现代物流业的快速发展。以建设国家级物流枢纽城市为目标，合理规划布局以现代物流园区、物流中心、配送中心为节点的现代物流体系，武汉作为联结国内外两个市场和促进中国东、中、西部互动的桥梁纽带功能逐步显现 武汉是中国重要的工业基地。现已形成门类比较齐全、配套能力较强的工业体系。武汉正在大力发展现代制造业，着力推进产业技术升级、集群发展。重点发展钢铁、汽车及机械装备、电子信息、石油化工、环保、烟草及食品、家电、纺织服装、医药、造纸及包装印刷十大主导产业。同时运用产业政策，引导企业向园区集中。重点发展钢铁化工及环保产业聚集区、汽车及机电产业聚集区、光电子及生物医药产业聚集区、食品工业聚集区、都市工业聚集区。一批年销售收入过百亿元的大型企业，以及一批拥有核心技术的“武汉制造”知名品牌正在涌现。 武汉是国家重要的科教基地之一，科教综合实力居全国大城市第三位。拥有包括武汉大学、华中科技大学等52 所普通高校，70 万在校大学生。成人高校在校学生近12 万人。各类科研机构106 所，国家实验室1 个，国家级重点实验室13 个，在汉中国科学院与工程院院士47 名。智力资源和人力资源十分丰富，“武汉·中国光谷”所在地武汉东湖地区是我国第二大智力密集区，在光通讯、生物工程、激光、微电子技术和新型材料等领域，科技开发实力处于全国领先地位。 Located in central China , Wuhan , the capital of Hubei Province , serves as the political, economic and cultural center of the province.

虽然是在网站上找的，但是还是费了不少的力，希望对你有帮助那我的辛苦也就没有白费了！ 1.自由女神像介绍： Out of all of America's symbols, none has proved more enduring or evocative than the Statue of Liberty. This giant figure, torch in hand and clutching a stone tablet, has for a century acted as a figurehead for the American Dream; indeed there is probably no more immediately recognizable profile in existence. It's worth remembering that the statue is - for Americans at least - a potent reminder that the USA is a land of immigrants: it was New York Harbor where the first big waves of European immigrants arrived, their ships entering through the Verrazano Narrows to round the bend of the bay and catch a first glimpse of "Liberty Enlightening the World" - an end of their journey into the unknown, and the symbolic beginning of a new life. These days, although only the very wealthy can afford to arrive here by sea, and a would-be immigrant's first (and possibly last) view of the States is more likely to be the customs check at JFK Airport, Liberty remains a stirring sight, with Emma Lazarus's poem, The New Colossus, written originally to raise funds for the statue's base, no less quotable than when it was written……Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name Mother of Exiles. From her beacon-hand Glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame. "Keep ancient lands, your storied pomp!" cries she With silent lips."Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse to your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door." The statue, which depicts Liberty throwing off her shackles and holding a beacon to light the world, was the creation of the French sculptor Frédéric Auguste Bartholdi, who crafted it a hundred years after the American Revolution in recognition of solidarity between the French and American people (though it's fair to add that Bartholdi originally intended the statue for Alexandria in Egypt). Bartholdi built Liberty in Paris between 1874 and 1884, starting with a terracotta model and enlarging it through four successive versions to its present size, a construction of thin copper sheets bolted together and supported by an iron framework designed by Gustave Eiffel. The arm carrying the torch was exhibited in Madison Square Park for seven years, but the whole statue wasn't officially accepted on behalf of the American people until 1884, after which it was taken apart, crated up and shipped to New York.

北京小吃介绍
北京小吃介绍 北京小吃俗称“碰头食”或“菜茶”，融合了汉、回、蒙、满等多民族风味小吃以及明、清宫廷小吃而形成，品种多，风味独特。 北京小吃大约二、三百种。包括佐餐下酒小菜（如白水羊头、爆肚、白魁烧羊头、芥末墩子等）、宴席上所用面点（如小窝头、肉末烧饼、羊眼儿包子、五福寿桃、麻茸包等）以及作零食或早点、夜霄的多种小食品（如艾窝窝、驴打滚等）。其中最具京味特点的有豆汁、灌肠、炒肝、麻豆腐、炸酱面等。 都门竹枝词（清杨米人） 日斜戏散归何处，宴乐居同六和局。 三大钱儿买甜花，切糕鬼腿闹喳喳， 清晨一碗甜浆粥，才吃茶汤又面茶； 凉果糕炸糖耳朵，吊炉烧饼艾窝窝， 叉子火烧刚卖得，又听硬面叫饽饽； 烧麦馄饨列满盘，新添挂粉好汤圆， 爆肚油肝香灌肠，木须黄菜片儿汤。
北京小吃之面食类 馄饨: 据说馄饨侯的馄饨其皮儿“薄如纸”，其陷儿三肥七瘦。一碗馄饨为二两：一两皮儿，一两陷儿，分毫不差
红白蜂糕：点心掰开后，中间有很多蜂窝状的小孔，所以叫蜂糕。在发好的面上均匀地兑上碱揉匀，上面放上小枣、桂花、松仁、葡萄干等点缀，再 刷一层油。蒸面时用筷子在面上捅几个出气孔，红蜂糕加红糖，白蜂 糕加白糖，松软利口。
驴打滚：豆面糕又称驴打滚，原料是用黄米面加水蒸熟，制作时将蒸熟的黄米面外沾上黄豆粉面擀成皮，然后抹上赤豆沙馅卷起来，撒上白糖就行了。 被叫做“驴打滚”是一种形象的比喻，点心做好后放在黄豆粉面中滚一 下，就像驴在地上打滚，扬起灰尘一样，因此得名。
北京小吃之火锅类 这些小吃最好趁热吃，在卖的时候离不开火炉，因此称它们为火锅类。 豆汁：豆汁儿不是每个人都喝得了的，那犹如泔水般的气味，让人闭眼捏鼻子，都难以下咽。第一次喝的人，一口下肚，那表情往往都是龇牙咧嘴。不过 你喝过两三次后，可能感受就不同了。豆汁讲究的是烫口时候喝，要喝完满头大汗才好，而且还要配上焦圈、咸菜，缺一样都失色。

It is not only an important scenic spot, but also a symbol of "piping times of peace" in people's minds. Scholars in the past dynasties wrote hundreds of poems and scores of writings in praise of the magnificent Yellow Crane Tower. The legend about the tower has become a bright pearl of the Chinese literature. Rebuilt in 1985, the Yellow Crane Tower Park occupies a hilly area and consists of towers, pavilions and corridors, forming an architecture complex and a garden complex of man--made and natural scenery. It has become the symbol of Wuhan for its long history, its magnificent outlook and its imposing architectural style.

The lake covers 33 square kilometers and stretches far into the distance. Ancient pagodas and temples scattered in 34 verdant hills around the lake make the scenic spot more historic and imposing. All the six areas of the East Lake have in common green hills, clear waters, an abundance of woods and typical style of Chu Culture. Perhaps you'll enjoy yourself most in two of them----Tingtao Pavilion and Moshan Hill.

On the east side of the lake towers aloft Moshan Hill, where the city of Chu has been set up according to the legend that Zhaolie, King of the Chu State laid an altar and worshiped Heaven there. The imposing Chutian Tower symbolizes the power and prosperity of the ancient State of Chu.
