凤凰古城简介
凤凰古城简介 看点 凤凰古城始建于清康熙四十三年（1704年），历经300年风雨沧桑，古貌犹存。现东门城楼和北门城楼尚在。城内青石板街道，江边木结构吊脚楼，以及朝阳宫、天王庙、万寿宫、大成殿等建筑，无不具古城特色。 导游 凤凰古城导游图 凤凰分为新旧两个城区，老城区集中了凤凰大多数的古老建筑，是凤凰县的核心景区，值得细细品味。 如果你想目睹真正的湘西风情，就不得不到凤凰古城（又名沱江镇）走一趟。凤凰紧邻沱江而建，吊脚木楼布满山坡。这里是文学大师沈从文的故乡，他曾在《边城》中描绘过它素朴而迷人的风情。 介绍 凤凰地处湖南湘西自治州南部，为中国历史文化名城。凤凰县历史悠久。关于县名，据《凤凰厅志》记载：“凤凰之名因山受”。在县城以西五十里有一名山，其山处于群峰之中，形状若鸟，昂首展尾，人们为取吉祥，称为凤凰山。
《湖南省志》中记载：“凤凰营，即凤凰山。在县治西50里”。由此可见，凤凰县的美名来自凤凰山。春秋战国时期凤凰为“五溪苗蛮之地”，属楚国疆域。在漫长的时代演变中，凤凰曾属不同的县郡，名称也多次的变迁，直至1957年才最后定为湘西土家族苗族自治州至今。 凤凰古城现有文物古建筑68处，古遗址116 处，明清两代特色民居建筑120多栋。还有明清石板古街道20多条。保存完好的唐朝旧县治黄丝桥古城是中国保存最完整的石头城之一。始建于明朝万历年间的中国南方长城——“湘西边墙”，成为国际国内关注的焦点。 古城依山傍水，清浅的沱江穿城而过，红色砂岩砌成的城墙伫立在岸边，南华山衬着古老的城楼，城楼还是清朝年间的，锈迹斑斑的铁门，还看得出当年威武的模样。北城门下宽宽的河面上横着一条窄窄的木桥，以石为墩，两人对面都要侧身而过这里曾是当年出城的唯一通道。 小知识：凤凰八绝 1．沱江边的菜场以及在河边捣衣的女人。 2．沙湾的吊脚楼。 3．北门外沱江边上的露天餐座。

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.

1、华尔街 Wall Street is the name of a narrow street in lower Manhattan in New York City, running east from Broadway downhill to the East River. Considered to be the historical heart of the Financial District, it was the first permanent home of the New York Stock Exchange（纽约证券 交易所）. The phrase "Wall Street" is also used as a metonym（换喻词） to refer to American financial markets and financial institutions as a whole. Most New York financial firms are no longer headquartered on Wall Street, but elsewhere in lower or midtown Manhattan, Fairfield County, Connecticut, or New Jersey. JPMorgan Chase, the last major holdout, sold its headquarters tower at 60 Wall Street to Deutsche Bank in November 2001. 2、自由女神 Statue of Liberty Liberty Enlightening the World, known more commonly as the Statue of Liberty, is a statue given to the United States by France in 1885, standing at Liberty Island in the mouth of the Hudson River in New York Harbor as a welcome to all visitors, immigrants, and returning Americans.
