Today, we’ll travel to Luding instead of Hailuogou according to our travel schedule. What a pity! But if you come next time I’ll certainly escort you to Hailuogou. Now, you can have a shor rest, or watch the landscape outside the window. Time is fast. After about forty minutes’ drive, we arrive at Luding County. Look over there, ahead of us is the world-famous Luding Bridge(泸定桥) I mentioned several times on the way. Dear friends, Luding Bridge is a small bridge, but it became famous overnight because the Red Army(红军) forced their way across the bridge in 1935. The Kuomintang(国民党) army dismantled all the planks on the iron-cable bridge and tried to stop the Red Army’s military offensive. Many soldiers of the Red Army fell down into the Dadu River(大渡河) and were killed by Kuomintang soldiers’ machine guns. However, the Red Army successfully captured the bridge and accomplished the world-famous Long March (长征). Now, our coach has stopped. Please get off the coach one by one. In order to keep the historical moment, you may take picture of this common, but significant bridge. We’ll leave for Kangding(康定) after twenty minutes. The distance between Luding and Kangding is about 49 kilometers. I believe the love songs of Kangding will certainly capture your soul and enthrall all of us. III. Translation The Former Imperial Palace The colors used to apply on the palatial buildings(富丽堂皇的建筑) in the Former Imperial Palace(故宫), except for the outside beautification, attributed much more to the feudalistic(封建的) implications in politics. 故宫富丽堂皇的建筑所使用的色彩,Chinese Lacquerware Lacquer is a natural substance obtained from the lacquer tree which has its home in China, a country still leading the world in lacquer resources. Chinese lacquer is a natural varnish made from the sap of the lacquer tree. Exposed to air, it forms a plastic coat, resistant to water, acid or alkaline corrosion. To make lacquerware, a base coat is applied to a core material, followed by extremely thin layers of the finest lacquer. Once these have dried, a final layer is added to make the lacquer strong and light, whilst maintaining the elegant appearance and harmonious color. Chinese lacquerware has a long history dating back as early as the New Stone Age. The original wares in China were those coated with black and red lacquers. From the Shang Dynasty to the Han, colorful painting, gold inlaying and other techniques were introduced into the making of lacquerware. The oldest lacquer ware discovered dates back to the Warring State Period (403-221 B.C.) when lacquerware was popular. Before the invention of the Chinese ink, lacquer had been used for writing. Twenty-eight bamboo clips found in a Warring States (475-221 B. C. ) tomb at Changtaiguan, Xinyang, Henan Province, bear a list of the burial objects with the characters written in lacquer. Language tips Student A Would you agree that the lacquerware is one of the best Chinese souvenirs? What’s your opinion of the craftsmanship of the lacquerware? What is the lacquare used for in ancient China? Do you know what techniques are applied in the workmanship of lacquerware? I’m sorry, but could you explain what you mean by the base coat of the lacquerware. Student B What a pleasant surprise! The lacquerware is so beautiful, isn’t it? The point is that you should know the materials used in the making of lacquerware. I’m wondering if you could understand the value of the best lacquerware. You would be surprised if you know the laquareware discovered in China has a history of more than 2000 years. As early as in the Shang Dynasty, colorful painting, gold inlaying were introduced into the making of lacquerware. Part Four: ABC about Tourism旅游知识 Types of Tourism旅游的类型 Types of Tourism Tourism is consumed（消费）where it is produced – the tourist must be physically present at the destination to experience tourism. The man who stays in his residence to watch the landscape is not a tourist. In other words, the tourist has to move out of his residence and travel to the destinations by means of transport. As a matter of fact, a tourist is both the customer and producer of the tourism product. Without the spatial（空间的） movement from the residence to the destination the tourist will fail to appreciate the attractions he wishes to visit. What a tourist obtains from tourism is the experience, whether it be pleasurable（愉快的）or painful. ? In response to the issues identified above, we feel that it is important to pay attention to the spatial movement of the tourism activity. 1. Tourism arises out of a movement of people to, and their stay in various places, or destinations. 2. There are two elements（因素）in tourism - the journey to the destination and the stay (including activities) at the destination. 3. The journey and stay take place outside the usual environment or normal place of the residence. 4. The movement to destinations is temporary（暂时的）and short term in character – the intention is to return within a few days,weeks or months. 5. Destinations are visited for purposes other than taking up permanent（永久的）residence or employment in the places visited. They are six types of tourism and tourists. First is recreational tourism（休闲旅游） which is what most people have in mind when “tourism” is mentioned. Second is cultural tourism（文化旅游）. The aim here is to experience new cultural activities. Third is historical tourism（历史旅游）. This involves visits to heritage locations, museums, cathedrals（大教堂）, monasteries（寺庙）and so on. Fourth is ethnic tourism（民族旅游）. This involves contact with unusual or quaint（奇异的）customs in remote areas. Five is environmental tourism（环境旅游）when the higher income groups in particular, are interested in visiting remote or “pure” environments. Finally here is business tourism（商务旅游）. The travelers for business reason range from company chairmen and executives to technical and sales personnel. Choose the best answer from the four choices given below. 1. Tourism is consumed where it is produced because tourists ( ) A. watch the landscape or historical interest at home. B. move out of his residence and travel to the destinations. C. resort to the modes of transport D. involve in the whole process of tourism experience. 2. What tourists gain from the travel is( ) A. impressions on the landscapes of a destination.

( ) the journey to the destination and the stay (including activities) at the destination the journey and stay outside the usual environment or normal place of the residence the temporary movement to destinations the job or settlement in the places visited 4.

Have a good journey! Judy: Thank you, sir. II. On-the-Way Introduction途中讲解 ?Direction: On-the-way introduction is an important part of guiding service. It may take hours for tourists to arrive at the destination. A tour guide should try to arouse the interest of tourists who may feel boring because of the long journey en route. So on-the-way introduction is one of the best ways to keep tourists in high spirits and aspiring for the tourist site. The following two aspects should be observed while making on-the-way introduction: 1. A general introduction of the destination so as to create a good image or the mental picture in the mind of tourists. 2. Briefly introduce the location, distance and the expected arrival time of the destination. 3. Describe the cities or scenic spots en route when tourists pass, but they won’t visit them. 4. Briefly explain the travel schedule for the present day or the next day upon arrival On-the-Way Tour from Ya’an to Luding Bridge雅安至泸定桥途中导游 ?Good morning, dear friends!
