1、 乌镇西栅英文导游词 导语：乌镇西栅是一个景区，西栅（zh）位于浙北桐乡市杭嘉湖平原上的乌镇，以原汁原味的水乡风貌和千年积淀的文化底蕴成为江南古镇中的佼佼者，是一个5A级景区。篇一、乌镇西栅英文导游词 In the tranquil little village of Wuzhen, the light hangs over the Dong Shi River in a soft summer pallour, as though the clouds are making a deliberate effort to protect the residents from sunburn.

2、Along the river, a select group of day-trippers enjoy a cruise aboard a pole-steered barge. Im highly privileged to be visiting the very last of Chinas ancient “water towns” to be opened to visitors. When the authorities opened the 1,300 year old riverine settlement of Wuzhen to visitors in early 20

3、01, they were determined to avoid the tacky mix of tourist restaurants and kitsch souvenir shops that has swamped other estuary towns such as Zhouzhuang (which also lies in the Yangtze River delta). Wuzhens old buildings, an architectural symphony of stone, wood and tiles, have been preserved rather

4、 than restored, and lovingly maintained rather than tarted up. The result is a place that is a sheer joy to explore on foot. Wuzhen is still a living town, where daily life goes on life goes on as it has for the last thousand or so years. Coppersmiths, wood-carver and silk-spinners work at their age

5、-old crafts. Bicycle rickshaw drivers exchange stories as they wait for passengers. People cart water, cook meals, and tend their gardens, each flower-plot the size of a postage stamp. The townsfolk of Wuzhen gather in the town square around mid-day - talking, smoking or playing mah-jongg. They seem

6、 laidback and contented. Most of all, they seem to enjoy observing the passing parade, which provides a constant source of amusement. I started to wonder whether it was the town or the strange foreign visitors like myself that was the main attraction. Western visitors are still a rarity here. Wuzhen

7、 lies in the far north-east of Zhejiang province, about 90 minutes by road from Shanghai. The name “water town” is especially apt; besides lying on the Grand Canal, the settlement is completely encircled by two rivers - the Dong Shi and a smaller tributary, which meet at a T-junction. No matter wher

8、e you stand, water provides the backdrop, the raison dtre of the whole town. About 250 families used to live in the old quarter of Wuzhen. However, following the “restoration” of the town, many townsfolk have been moved out to the “new” Wuzhen, an attractively landscaped but otherwise characterless

9、apartment block 15 km down the road towards Shanghai. Those who remain are mainly the elderly and craftspeople. While I was assured that there is nothing to stop new residents moving into the old town, young people nowadays seem strangely absent. The old wooden shops of Wuzhen look ageless and immov

10、able, as though their timbers have totally defied the ravages of time. At first, one suspects that the custodians of the town have tried to cover up the decomposing processes of nature. But look more closely and you find slow rot setting in around the bases of the doorframes, and splinters breaking

11、away from the lintels. What little restoration has been done is so inconspicuous as to be totally indistinguishable from the original. All the buildings in Wuzhen are in Ming or Qing Dynasty style. One palatial establishment is the “Double Happiness” Marriage Shrine. Twin hearts are joined in a nouv

12、eau-Chinese character in gilt upon a flaming crimson background, presumably depicting the inseparability of marriage - perhaps the Chinese know something that we Westerners dont. Wuzhen also has some unique attractions, including Yu Liuliangs Coin and Paper Money Exhibition. Nearby (would you believ

13、e) stands a Pawnshop Museum, as if to prove that usury is universal. (Maybe fortunately, Wuzhen has the only such establishment Ive ever come across). I tried looking for a Qing Dynasty DVD player in the pawnshop, but was sadly disappointed. No fewer than eight stone bridges cross the Dong Shi River

14、, the grandest of them being the Fengyuan Double Bridge. The bridge is separated into two parts by a wooden sluice gate. Cyclists carry their bikes across the high arches of the bridges, which are designed to let boats pass underneath without difficulty. Back in the main square, the elders are still

15、 hanging out. On the village stage, a performance of Peking Opera is underway. Across the square, a master puppeteer entertains visitors with a shadow-play of the type known in Java as wayang kulit. But while the Javanese version of shadow puppetry is subtle and refined, the Wuzhen style has the pro

16、tagonists attacking each other with the ferocity of tigers. Whether by accident or design, this town seems to have been dropped into its watery setting by a master town planner from another galaxy. A more perfect location for a settlement would be difficult to find. It is fervently to be hoped that

17、tourism will augment rather than destroy the unique ambiance of Wuzhen.篇二、乌镇西栅英文导游词 My friends, everybody! I am a tour guide, suhang, wuzhen west gate by I explain for you. Now we come to is relative to the eastern gate development late west gate of the scenic area, compared with the east gate of th
