上海外滩导游词

上海外滩导游词
外滩原是在上海城厢(城隍庙)外的一处沿江滩地,旧时称“黄浦滩”早在1843年上海开埠以后,
英国第一任驻沪领事巴富尔看中了外滩一带地方,于是划定外滩
在内的800亩地为英租界,到了20世纪二三十年代临江建造起巍峨参差的世界各国古典风格的建筑群,
并开设了110多家金融机构,这里成了“远东的华尔街”,到了九十年代,中国改革开放的大潮来到了上
海,市政府开始对外滩进行大规模的改造,形成了今天我们看到的像一首美妙的五线谱一样的外滩景区,
它是由“凝固的音乐”万国建筑博览和“流淌的乐曲”黄浦江所组成。我们各位朋友观赏这些西方古典风
情的建筑群,不仅要注意它的外部的造型美。而且要把它们视为雕塑艺术来欣赏。
在这“凝固的音乐”乐曲上,26栋建筑,楼宇的高低错落犹如钢琴上跳动着的琴键,乐曲上有序曲、
三个高潮、尾声等乐章组成。
它的序曲部分由外滩防汛墙前的气象信号台所承担,这座气象信号台,是“阿脱奴婆”式的古建筑,
它的主要功能有两个:第一个我们各位可以看一下在它的塔顶桅杆上悬挂各形状的标志,这是起到天气预
报的作用,它根据徐家汇气象台测得的气象信息,第天五次在在桅杆上挂不同颜色的棋子,向来往的船只
告示吴淞口外的风力和海浪等气象信息以保证航行的安全。第二个作用我们可以再观察一下桅杆上有一只
可以上下升降的大球,第天中午11点45分,球升到桅杆一半的高度,11点55分,又将球升到顶端,
12点正时,球又降到原来位置。这个目的我不说咱们在座的各位也知道是干什么的了吧?对了!他就是
报时台。但是随着现代化信息传播科学的发展,各式各样的钟表数不胜数,它只能“退休”了。在199
3年的10月份,在外滩综合改造二期工程中,为了保护这座具有八十多年历史的古建筑,由是将它在原
来的位置向东北整体的平移了20米,并且对它进行装修,使之面貌一新。夜晚,用青白色的灯光照着,
如一个巨大的通体晶莹剔透的“玉柱”,清丽动人。
在凝固的音乐上的高潮分为三部分:第一部分由亚细亚大楼、上海总会、中国通商银行大楼三幢大楼
组成。由于时间的关系这里着重给各位介绍一下上海总会,他位于中山东一路二号,建成于1910年,
耗资45万两白银。原是来是供英国侨民休闲娱乐活动的场所。大楼是文艺复兴式的风格。在建筑的东立
面采用的是横三段处理,又以正门为纵轴线,左右门窗装饰图案对称,整幢大楼显得和谐匀称而且稳重。
另外我们再看大楼的第三层与第四层是用六根爱奥尼克式立柱支撑,这种柱式,柱身修长,高度约为底径
9至10倍,柱身有条带状,柱头上有卷起的旋涡状,是“女性美”的象征。在大楼层顶南北两端有巴洛
克式塔亭,增强了整幢建筑的高度和豪华气派。从远处望来他就像一件雕塑家手中的完美的艺术品。另外
大楼内部的装修也十分曲雅、豪华。这里有一长34米的用意大利的大理石铺面的酒巴台,号称远东最长
的酒吧。大堂的北侧还有一个半圆形的铁栅栏电梯,这部也是当时上海最早的一部电梯,现在好多的反映
老上海的电视剧都是在这里拍摄的。大楼内的装饰仿英国皇宫格调,因此它有“皇家总会”之称。
紧挨着上海总汇的这个就是中国通商银行大楼,它位于外滩六号。是一幢哥特式的建筑,正门有古典
式的柱廊。这就是凝固音乐的第一高潮部分。
凝固音乐的第二高潮,是由汇丰银行大楼和海关大楼所组成。是万国建筑博览群的最有代表性的建筑。
汇丰银行大楼 位于中山东一路11号,1923建成,1955年至1995年这四十年间它曾
是上海人民政府所在地,再在是浦东发展银行使用。这座大楼英国人自称是从苏伊士运河到白令海峡的最
讲究的一幢建筑,它是外滩占地最广,门面最宽,体形最大的建筑,整幢建筑呈现十七、十八世纪欧洲出
现的古典主义风格,是古罗马式的建筑。大楼底层是三个罗马石拱券大门,大楼第二层至第四层,用六根
希腊式科林斯柱子。这种柱式出现在希腊时代商业繁荣的科林斯城,其柱顶上有一束树叶和花蔓组成,似
花篮形状,雕刻华美,是“富豪”的象征,在他的顶端还有巴洛克式尖塔,最值得我们注意的是它还有着
三件稀世之宝:第一件是大门两侧有一对铜狮,坐北朝南一只张着大口,坐南朝北的一只闭着嘴,这正好
有银行资金的吐纳之意。据说在英国铸成之后就将其模型毁掉,使他成为世界上的绝版;第二件是室内顶
上有一幅世界上极为鲜见的巨型马赛克壁画,画面有200平方米。第三件是大楼大堂内有28根高13
米的意大利大理石石柱,全是天然形成。其中有四要是没有拼接的,是纯天然巨石雕成的,据说世上只有
六根,这里拥有四根,可见它的价值,(另外两根在法国卢浮宫)。使整幢大楼皇宫,它统领着附近的二
十多幢建筑,显出了华丽庄严的风范。使得它在整个外滩建筑群中最为引人注目。
海关大楼 建成于1927年,花去430万两白银。大楼是具有折中主义建筑风格。大楼顶部的
大钟,是仿英国,伦敦国会大厦大钟式样制造,花白银2000余两。它是亚洲第一大钟,又是世界上著
名的大钟。大钟直径5。4米,分针长3。17米,时针长2。3米。钟内有三个最达两吨的钟摆,这个
大钟每周开三次,每次上发条要四个人操作一小时。另外每天在一刻钟的时候会奏响一段《东方红》乐曲,
到整点奏响一整曲《东方红》。
这两座大楼被称为姐妹楼是上海的标志性建筑,汇丰银行大楼雍容曲雅,海关大楼雄健挺拔。两幢大
楼并列一起相得益彰。共同承担了凝固音乐的第二高潮。
凝固音乐的第三高潮由汇中饭店、沙逊大厦、中国银行大楼三幢建筑组成。这一乐章以现代主义为主
题。
汇中饭店 位于中山东路南京路口,它的正六在南京东路23号。1906年建造,它外形美观,
白色清水砖作墙面;红砖作腰线。有“外滩美女”之称。这里曾是三次重要会议所在地。第一,1909
年“上海万国禁烟大会”;第二是1996年“上海国际兴奋剂”会议;第三是1911年中国17省代
表召开欢迎孙中山先生回国就任临时大总统会议。
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6
0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,周总理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。

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。

接下来是小编为大家整理的关于外滩中英文导游词,方便大家阅读与鉴赏!外滩中英文导游词1The Bund, located on the Bank of Huangpu River in the Central District of Shanghai, is a scenic spot in Shanghai and a must for tourists to Shanghai. The Bund, also known as zhongshangdong 1st Road, is about 1.5 km long. Facing Huangpu River in the East and 52 buildings with different styles, such as Gothic, Roman, Baroque, Chinese and western wall style, in the west, are known as the "World Architecture Expo Group".Facing the open mother river, Huangpu River, the Bund leans back on the buildings with rigorous modeling and different styles. Because of its unique geographical location and its influence on Shanghai and even China in the field of economic activities in the past century, it has a very rich cultural connotation. The Bund's riverside, levee, green belt and beautiful buildings constitute 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, it is a bustling tourist attraction; in the evening, it is a place for lovers to fall in love. When the lights start to shine, thebuildings on the Bund are resplendent, like crystal palaces, which make tourists at home and abroad marvel. Strolling here, we appreciate the style of Huangpu River, the mother river of Shanghai, overlook the new appearance of Lujiazui area on the other side of Pudong, feel the different flavor of metropolitan gardens among green trees and flower beds, and enjoy the rare fresh air and sunshine in a metropolis.The Bund got its nameHuangpu River is the largest river flowing through Shanghai. The source of Huangpu River is located in Longwangshan nature reserve, Anji, Zhejiang Province. 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 water level drop in a day can reach more than 4 meters. In case of astronomical spring tide, the water level drop will be even greater. (as for the source of Huangpu River, 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, which can not be regarded as a complete source. Only by finding the source of Taihu Lake can we find the real source of Huangpu River. After investigation and research, Xitiaoxi, located at the foot of Longwang mountain, has a drainage area of 2800 square kilometers with a length of 145 kilometers, 1.8 billion cubic meters of water. Its water supply accounts for 70% of Taihu Lake's water supply, making it the first water source of Taihu Lake. Longwang mountain is the source of Huangpu River. ) 150 years ago, Shanghai was only a medium-sized County along the coast of the south of the Yangtze River. The shipping industry was very underdeveloped, and people did not have thenecessity or ability to build embankments along the river. Therefore, most of the river banks were natural beaches except the Huangpu River bank in Dongmen. At ebb tide, the river water stagnates in the center of the riverbed, exposing a large area of beach. At high tide, the river never crossed the bank. Huangpu River is the main channel of Shanghai. Because the river is wide and the water is fast, ships going against the river have to pull their boats. For hundreds of years, the track of the trackers has stepped on 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 is generally called "Li", and the downstream of the river is called "Wai". For example, people in Shanghai today are used to call Hanyang road and Bridge on Hongkou port "Lihong bridge", Changzhi Road and bridge "Zhonghong bridge", and Daming Road and bridge "Waihong bridge", which is named according to the location of the river where the bridge is located. Similarly, the first bridge of the Suzhou River entering the Huangpu River estuary is called "Wai Bai Du bridge". 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). For example, 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 urban area 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 at the exit of Lujiabang, so the Shanghainese take Lujiabang as the boundary. Its upstream is called "lihuangpu" andits downstream is called "waihuangpu". The beaches in lihuangpu are called "lihuangpu Beach" for short, and the beaches in waihuangpu are called "waihuangpu Beach" for short.After 1840, Shanghai, as one of the five trading ports, opened to the outside world. In 1845, the British colonialists seized the Bund and established the British concession. In 1849, French colonists also seized the Bund and established the French concession. From then on to the early 1940s, the Bund was occupied by the British concession and the French concession, and was called "the Bund of the British concession" and "the Bund of France" respectively. The Ministry of industry of the public concession and the Council of the French Concession are their highest municipal organizations and leading bodies respectively.The concession is like a sovereign area, and the Western powers operate and manage it in their way. With the construction of the concession, the Bund became the earliest and most prosperous place in the concession. In the early days, the Bund was a center of foreign trade, where there were many foreign companies and trade flourished. Since the late 19th century, many foreign and Chinese banks have been established on the Bund, which has become Shanghai's "Financial Street" and also known as "Oriental Wall Street".As a result, the Bund has become a "geomantic treasure land". Owning a piece of land on the Bund is not only a symbol of wealth, but also a symbol of reputation. After commercial banks and financial enterprises occupied a place in the Bund, they built the company building. Most of the buildings on the Bund have been rebuilt for three or more times. Architects from all over the world have shown their skills here, making the Bund,which is not large in area, gather more than 20 buildings of different periods, different countries and different styles. Therefore, the Bund is also known as the "World Architecture Expo".For more than a hundred years, the Bund has always appeared in front of the world as a symbol of Shanghai. It is the pride of the people of Shanghai. It shows the world the culture of Shanghai and the excellent ability of integrating foreign civilization with local civilization, innovating and developing.The historical evolution of the BundThe first stage is the formation period, from 1843 to 1885. At the beginning of the opening of the Bund, the buildings were mostly 2-3-storey veranda buildings. The earliest building was the former British Consulate, which was completed in 1849.The second stage is the development period, from 1886 to 1920__. At the beginning of the 20th century, it was called "Far East Wall Street", and the Bund's position as the Far East Financial Center was further consolidated.The third stage is the mature period, from 1920__ to 1937. In the 1930s, the Bund "international architecture Expo" finally became the scale of today.After the founding of new China, the Bund experienced two large-scale reconstruction in the 1990s and on the eve of the Shanghai World Expo in 20__. The Bund reconstruction in the 1990s focused on solving the problems of traffic function and flood control safety. On the eve of the World Expo, the purpose of renovation is to improve the environmental quality of the Bund waterfront area, highlight the historical and cultural years and characteristics of "universal architecture", fully interpret the Expo theme of "Better City, better life", and become the most iconicand classic urban landscape area of high-quality block and Shanghai.Introduction to scenic spotsHuangpu ParkHuangpu Park, which once recorded the humiliating history of "Chinese and dogs are not allowed to enter", is the earliest European style garden in Shanghai. It was built in 1886, and it is a witness to the vicissitudes of the Bund for a century. T oday, the Shanghai People's hero memorial tower stands tall and upright, and the Bund historical memorial hall, which is free to open at the bottom of the tower, is a century long history of struggle of the Chinese nation.Shanghai People's hero memorial towerLocated in Huangpu Park, which used to be "forbidden for Chinese and dogs", it gives people deep thinking. The three gun shaped towers symbolize the immortality of the martyrs who died in glory since the Opium War, the May 4th Movement and the liberation war, with profound generality.Pujiang tideLocated in the South Gate of Huangpu Park, it is a large bronze statue. A worker with a great body raised his sails to fight against the coming waves. It is vivid and dynamic. It shows the fearless spirit of the proletariat, which is incomparable in strength, fearless in difficulties and dangers, courageous in advance and breathtaking. The theme of the work is to commend the brilliant achievements of the working class in Shanghai in the cause of revolution and construction.Large scale granite relief in ShanghaiLocated on the sunken Round Island of Huangpu Park, the relief is 120 meters long and 3.8 meters high. The relief depictstypical historical events in a realistic way and shows the revolutionary struggle of Shanghai people from 1840 to 1949. The two wings are decorated with wreaths, symbolizing the memory of the Shanghai people for the revolutionary martyrs. Relief can be divided into seven groups, 97 typical characters, showing the great achievements of the martyrs.Wai Bai Du BridgeThe famous Garden Bridge of Shanghai is one of the landmark buildings in old Shanghai. It is located at the mouth of the lower reaches of Suzhou River, on the west side of Huangpu Park, on the Suzhou river section between zhongshangdong 1st Road and dongdaming road. It is an all steel structure bridge with two spans of 52.16 meters and a width of 18.3 meters. It is an important channel connecting the north and east of Shanghai. The flow of people and vehicles passing the bridge is very high.Shop 16Xiaodongmen, formerly known as "Baodai gate", has 16 shops outside. The market is adjacent to Huangpu River in the East, Danfeng road in the west, old Taiping Lane in the south, Longtan Road in the north, and Wanyu Dock Street in the south. This is the water gate of Shanghai.The new Luyuan commercial building, Shenke Hotel, Longshen restaurant and the Jasper pool luxury bathroom, which are suitable for high-end consumption, together with a number of small and medium-sized hotels, can provide nearly 900 rooms and more than 20__ beds, providing comprehensive services for passing passengers.The 16th shop logo appeared on August 7, 20__. The new 16th shop logo stands out in more than 20__ applications. It is designed by an advertising designer with special feelings for 16thshop. Its creative inspiration comes from the shape of the cloud and lotus of the Pujiang River in the new Shiliupu building. The three water patterns reveal the geographical characteristics of Shiliupu, which is located in the city along the river. The gorgeous turn of the new Shiliupu starts from this. Blue symbolizes the profound cultural heritage of Shiliupu. The combination of water patterns and the shape of the new landmark buildings in the new logo endows Shiliupu with unique visual identification characteristics.On the 630 meter building belt of Shiliupu, three small buildings will be erected. They are like bright diamonds inlaid on the magnificent crown of Huangpu River. As the perfect embellishment of the 16 shop wide green space and the boundless river scenery, they will become the model of Bund architecture. In the total construction area of about 68000 square meters, the total construction area of the three small buildings is only 5000 square meters, which makes the greening rate of the project as high as 52%. Citizens and tourists can feel the wind of the river and the shadow of the trees when they stay in the small building; they can sit on the roof platform like a garden in the sky and overlook the vastness of the Huangpu River and sigh about the great changes on both sides of the river.Bund city sculpture groupThe beauty of a city should consist of three parts: architecture, sculpture and greening. Urban sculpture, also known as "urban eyes", is an important part of beautifying the city. The Bund city sculpture group is composed of three stainless steel sculptures: "light of the Pujiang River", "sail" and "wind". It is located in the green corridor on the Bund of Jinling East Road, shining in the sun. "The light of the Pujiang River" has a uniquestyle. It combines vertical water waves and water drops, such as jumping notes on the staff, and plays the music of Shanghai's Mother River Huangpu River with a relaxed and cheerful melody. "Sail" shows that there are many masts on the Huangpu River, the fleet is sailing all over the country, foreign exchange and tourism are flowing in this economic River; the connection between sails and sails, the multi curve floating, increases the three-dimensional dynamic. "Wind" is characterized by sharp and obtuse angles, arcs and broken lines, and fold fluctuation. The east wind blows vigorously and has a myriad of appearances.Chenyi PlazaAt the end of Nanjing Road, a statue of Chen Yi, the first mayor of Shanghai, stands tall. The statue of Chen Yi, which faces south, is 5.6 meters high, cast in bronze, and its base is 3.5 meters high, built with red polished granite. The statue reproduces the typical posture of Comrade Chen Yi when inspecting his work, showing his diligent public servant image and amiable and open-minded Confucian demeanor. Every weekend, a grand square concert will be held in front of the statue.Yongquan of Chen Yi square: located on the Bund of East Nanjing Road, south of Chen Yi statue. Its shape is a modern fountain with square outside and oval inside. With the sound of water jet, high and low, the pool bottom is installed with a color light source, at night with the change of light, the water column reflects red, yellow, blue and green beams, adding a magnificent night scene to the Bund.Bund Tourist TunnelThe Bund sightseeing tunnel is located in the Bund road between Puxi Nanjing road and Pudong Lujiazui Oriental Pearl.

That’s the origin of the Bund. In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, many buildings were built, such as hotels, banks and so on, which make the Bund became the financial and political center of the international community in China.

Previously it was the headquarters of Bank of China, and it now houses the Shanghai Branch of Bank of ChinaThe building was designed and constructed by Chinese; after its completion in 1937, it is a very rare modern building with traditional Chinese decorations on the Bund. History:Bank of China Building was built on the site of the old German Club. After WW 1, German was defeated; the Chinese took over the club.It is said that the building was originally designed to be 34 storied and would be the tallest building in Shanghai at that time. But Victor Sassoon, the powerful neighbor of Sassoon House, insisted that no other building on the Bund could be higher than his. As one of the biggest taxpayers in the international concession, Sassoon forced the authority not to issue the construction permit.As a result, Bank of China Building was cut nearly half with 17 stories. It was 30 centimeters lower than Sassoon Building.The so-called ‘War of layers’ is not simply a matter of architectural dispute, but a mirror of the time when China was bullied by foreign powers.Physical features:The outlook carries many traditional Chinese decorations. You could see roofs covered with green glazed tiles. Above the main gate there are carvings about Confucius making his lecture tours in various states.At the front of the bank is guarded by a pair of PI XIU Instead of lions. PI XIU is a legendary animal in Chinese traditional culture, who are in charge of the money world.There are 9 steps leading to the Bank. In Chinese culture, 9 is a symbol of permanent. Therefore, it is often used in the construction of ancient Chinese architectures. All the fences and windows are well decorated in oriental style.Importance:In Shanghai’s concessions days, the erection of the Bank of China among numerous foreign buildings was so important to the Chinese.It was funded and constructed by Chinese, which broken the foreign dominance of Shanghai’s grand building.

Shanghai has no exception the Waibaidu Bridge is the most famous bridge after its completion in 1907. Not only because it is the first steel bridge in this city, but also it raises many memories of the local people. Location & Basic factsIt is located at the confluence of Suzhou Creek and Huangpu River, the Bridge is 18 meters wide and 104 meters longHistoryIn the 1850s, there was no bridge across Suzhou Creek and ferries were the only means of transportation. After the establishment of the British and American concessions on both sides of the creek a bridge was badly needed. In 1856, a British businessman named Wells built a 120-meter-long wooden bridge. The Wells’ Bridge was built for making money. Locals soon found that the toll was only charged for Chinese while foreigners could cross the bridge free of charge.In 1873, another wooden bridge was built to replace the Well’s Bridge. It was free for all people. Locals called the new bridge ‘Waibaidu Bridge’. In Chinese ‘Wai’means ‘outside’; ‘bai’means ‘free of charge’‘Du’means ‘to cross’. So ‘Waibaidu Bridge’means the outsides bridge which is free to cross.In 1907, this wooden bridge was disassembled to make way for a strong steel bridge. Foreigners called the steel bridge as the Garden Bridge, since it was quite close to the Public Garden, now it is the Huangpu Park.FunctionsToday the bridge still plays an important role in traffic system, because of its goldenlocation. The bridge is also a popular scene for film and television productions.

地粉才能叫上城呢?简单的说,它过去曾是上海老城厢的一块芦苇丛生的荒滩地。

1840年第一次鸦片战争在此之后,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,各式各样的中西合璧建筑随着殖民者的“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。

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,也不是建造于一个六十年代,但它们的建筑格调是那么共管的和谐统一,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,鳞次栉比地横卧着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。

当年许多别国银行、总会、领事馆等云集于此,有东方“华尔街”之称,形成古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,过去曾是十分总会闻名的荷兰总会,它是普遍性一座典型的英国古典式建筑。

楼高有6层(连地下室),楼顶南北两端各设楼下瞭望亭一座,内部装饰非常华丽。

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,位于如今美国的肯德基快餐厅设在里面。

新外滩12一号以前是大名鼎鼎的“汇丰银行”,该建筑建于1923年,属仿古希腊式的圆顶建筑。

大楼为接近靠近正方形的矩形建筑,高5层,加上顶部一半球形层顶菜有7层,钢框架结构。

楼内装饰十分简朴,设有美、英、法、俄、日等国各种接待室。

外滩讲解词[修改版]

第一篇:外滩讲解词外滩讲解词外滩位于上海母亲河黄浦江和苏州河的交汇处,与浦东的东方明珠隔江相望!它北起外白渡桥,南至延安东路的中山东一路一带,像一个新月形,全长约1300米。

在中山东一路的西侧有北京东路、南京东路、九江路福州路、延安东路等几条各具特色的重要道路,东面有黄埔见以及浦东陆家嘴金融中心。

外滩游览区最具历史价值的是“万国建筑博览:,现已被列入全国重点文物保护单位。

其历史演变大致可以分为三个阶段。

第一阶段,是1843年到1885年.这一阶段外滩的楼层大多数是2至3层的外廊式建筑。

第二阶段,时间从1886年到1915年。

这一时期,具有代表性的建筑主要有海关大楼,上海总会新楼,华俄道胜新楼建成。

第三阶段,时间从1916年到1937年,这一时期外滩开始了大规模的楼宇建造,有“外滩第一楼“之称的亚细亚大楼落成,汇丰银行建成;新海关大楼建成。

1937年中国银行等一大批新大楼纷纷落成,使外滩”万国建筑博览“终成现在的规模。

外滩的景点也是丰富多彩。

今天我给各位游客讲解几个比较有意思的景点,第一个就是上海的华尔道夫酒店(上海总会大楼)。

此建筑1910年假建成,造价45万两白银。

至于45万两白银是多少,大家知道嘛!1910年,那个时候的一两白银大概是200元左右,大家算一算,45万白银,那又是多少人民币呐!对了,就是90000000万啊。

上海外滩华尔道夫酒店是具有传奇色彩的上海总会,也是上海遗留下来的为数不多的优秀建筑之一. 是一座拥有丰富文化内涵、深厚历史的奢华酒店,它完美结合了上海外滩闻名遐迩的历史与文化及二十一世纪的繁华。

接下来给大家介绍的是《浦东发展银行大楼》(原汇丰银行),1923年建成,它是种中国历史最悠久的外资银行之一,中文名”汇丰”,含有期望汇总业务发达的意思。

驻守在大楼门前的铜狮是汇丰银行的重要象征,有银行吐纳资金的寓意。

目前,这对狮子不是原物,真正的收藏于上海城市历史发展陈列馆内。

太平洋战争爆发后,被日本人占用此楼,抗日战争结束后,直到1996年后上海市浦东发展银行迁入使用。
