And your cooperation would be appreciated; here I wish you a pleasant stay in Henan.
Today we are going to visit the Yellow River Dam Project Scenic Spot at Xiaolangdi in Mengjin county Luoyang city. As we are already in Luoyang now, I’d like to give you a brief introduction about this city. Luoyang is located in the western part of Henan province, stretching across the middle reaches of the Yellow River. As a city famous for its splendid history and profound culture, Luoyang has become a shining gem in central part of China for its abundant and characteristic modern civilization. It is among the first cities to be declared by the State Council as the ancient capitals and famous historical and cultural cities. Luoyang is one of the cradles of Chinese civilization and is one of the Four Great Ancient Capitals of China. Starting from the first dynasty of China---Xia, it served as capital for 13 dynasties, which is the first one to have served as the capital for the most numerous dynasties and for the longest time. Now, Luoyang has become one of the excellent tourist cities in China and is striving for the title of the best tourist city in China.
Lying in Mengjin County 40 kilometers north of Luoyang City, Xiaolangdi Dam Project is not only a milestone in the history of the continuing effort to tame the Yellow River, but also a masterpiece in the history of world hydro-engineering. The main objectives of the project are: flood control, ice jam control, siltation control, irrigation, water supply, as well as hydroelectric power generation. Xiaolangdi Scenic Area is divided into four grand areas, which are Xiaolangdi Dam, Jinzi Mountain, Bali Gorge and the Sanmenxia Dam. There are 13 sightseeing districts and 113 scenic spots. Each spot has its own historical stories; therefore, we can appreciate the scenic glamour of large mountains with lakes, gorges and rivers featured by the middle-lower reaches of the Yellow River Project.
Okay, everybody, now we’ve arrived at the Yellow River Dam Scenic Spot at Xiaolangdi. we will have three hours to visit this scenic spot, now it is 8am that is to say you should come back here at 11am at exactly the same place at the parking lot on time. Please remember our bus number YU AL1001. My phone now is 123, if you have any need, please call me. Now please take your valuable things along with you and get ready to get off the bus.
Well, ladies and gentlemen, we have now arrived at the Xiaolangdi Dam. The Dam Project is not just an eye catching feature of the whole scenic area, It also creates three firsts in the world and six firsts in China. This vast record breaking construction is 1667 meters long with a height of 154 meters. The whole project consists of ten intake towers, nine flood and sediment tunnels, six power tunnels and an underground powerhouse. Following the completion of the project a vast reservoir covering 272 square kilometers has been formed above the dam. The views across this vast shimmering man-made lake surrounded by towering mountains are amazing.
Let’s head for The Three Gorges of Yellow River. We will appreciate these sceneries on the ferry. The Three Gorges are the essence of this scenic area on the Yellow River. Situated on the upper reaches of Xiaolangdi Dam, the gorges cover an area of 40 square kilometers. Each gorge has its own characteristics. Bali Gorge forms the narrowest part of these reaches of the river and the water gushes between the sheer cliffs on either side. Gushan Gorge is extraordinary as if it were cut out by some supernatural beings while the Dragon and Phoenix Gorge winds snake-like between steep sides. All in all the Three Georges of the Yellow River present uniquely beautiful water and mountain scenery in northern region of China.
Here’s the Bali Gorge, Bali Gorge is also nicknamed 'Bali By-street'. It is the last section of the Yellow River gorges and it is the narrowest. Cliffs stand straight up on either side as if they have been cut through by a giant sword. The narrow and steep valleys continue upwards appearing to almost join the sky. Seen from a distance, these beautiful valleys connect with each other to form a natural door, thus they have been called 'The Door of the Yellow River'. The current here is wild and strong and waves continually dash against the shore .The whole gorge is splendid.
Now we are at the Gushan Gorge. Gushan Gorge goes from south to north. Here mountains and water become an inseparable whole; pavilions and small wooden houses stand beside the water and adorn the mountain sides. When visiting this place, you will be touched by the grand landscape and surrounded by a strong sense of poetry. In this gorge, natural beauties and sceneries of humanities are interwoven, enhancing the beauty of each other.
Here’s Dragon and Phoenix Gorge. The Dragon and Phoenix Gorge twists and turns through steep cliffs, so it used to be called as “nine-dragon bay” But now people changed it to Dragon and Phoenix Gorge because this gorge and its another scenic spot Phoenix platform enlighten each other forming a natural picture which indicates harmony. For that reason this gorge has been endowed with many romantic names, like Lover's Island, Lovesickness Waterfall, Dragon and Phoenix Pond, and so on. Some would say that this is a perfect place for lovers!
Ok, so much for my explanation. Now you will have one hour to go around when we get off the ferry and take some photos if you like. But please do remember we will meet here at 10am, then we will head back. Please be there on time. Thanks for your cooperation, wish you a pleasant journey, thank you!
篇三：河南英文导游词黄河小浪底风景区
Yellow River Dam Project Scenic Area at
Xiaolangdi,Luoyang
(黄河小浪底风景区）
Ladies and gentlemen ,good morning!
You’ve enjoyed most of the artificial sights or historical sights in Luoyang.Today I’d like to show you a mixture one,both artificial and natural------The Yellow River Dam Project Scenic Area at Xiaolangdi---in Luoyang.I hope you’ll enjoy it,too.
The dam project is located at the mouth of the last gorge of the middle reaches of the Yellow River some 40 kilometers to the north of Luoyang City,130km west to the Sanmenxia Dam on the Yellow River.It started in September 1992,and completed in the end od 2001 with an investment of around 35 billion RMB.It is a super huge type multi-purpose water-control project built by means of international bidding,partly with the loan from the World Bank.The three principle parts (the dam,the flood and sand discharge system and the electricity generating system)of the project were respectively constructed and fixed by some Italian,German and French experts,who brought us advanced technology in construction and referencable experience in management.Maybe you’ll ask why we invested so great a number of funds in the project.Now let me begin with the Yellow River.
I believe most of you know the Yellow River.It is the second big river in China.It’s so well-known is the world largely for the color of its water.Its popularity even exceeds the Yangtse River,which is the biggest river in China. I wonder if you know the why.
As a lucid tricklet at the headstream, the Yellow River originates from the Yuegozonglie Bason of the Northern Bayan Har Mountain in Qinghai Province,It flows through nine provinces such as Qinghai,Sichuan,Shandong,Gansu,Ningxia,Inner Mongolia,Shanxi,Shaanxi,Henan and Shandong admitting over forty tributaries and thousands upon thousands of streams along the way and empties into the Bohai Sea in Kenli County, Shandong Province.Thus it has become a might torrent with 5,464kilometers or 3395miles in total length and annual water yield of 48billion cubic meters.It has 752,443square kilometers in drainage area totally.With full of wists and turns,the water of the river starts out crystal clear with neither rolling waves nor roaring furious billows extending and flowing slowly eastward.But when it flowed into the common boundary of Shaanxi and Shanxi provinces,its way was held back by the broad loess plateau.However,its torrent cut the loess plateau into two,forming a deep valley by a great fall of 600meters,As the soil texture is loose here,so vegetation is damaged and topsoil eroded seriously.As a result,the water brings a great deal of topsoil from the plateau to the lower reaches,making the river a world-known muddy river,hence the name,the Yellow River.
It had started to make troubles since ancient times,The river washed away large amounts of topsoil from the plateau,especially after a rainstorm.The erosion affects an area of 434,000square kilometers,and every year 1.6billion tons of topsoil from the plateau fell into the river,making the riverbed higher and higher.As a result,the riverbed in Kaifeng(another city is the province on the lower reaches of the Yellow River)is now higher than the city,leading to trouble on the 120,000-square-kilometer region of the lower reaches of the river,and making itself one of the most difficult rivers to be in control in the world.According to historical records,with
2500years,26 changes of the Yellow River course occured and 1590 cases of disastrous flooding,hence the saying.The Yellow River brings disasters every year and breaks its dikes two times out of three.None of the provinces of the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River---Henan or Shandong could escape the floods.So old saying went:People go well-being,when the Yellow River becomes clear,Those,who father the Yellow River,appease the country,Taming the Yellow River has been the wishes of the Chinese people as well as the rulers of China since ancient times.The work of harnessing the Yellow River can be traced back to as early as over 4,000years ago,The stroy that Yu the Great passed by his home to work on the project of the Yellow River during the Xia Dynasty 4,000years ago is widely known is China.
After the founding of new China in 1949,the Chinese Government turned special attention to harnessing the Yellow River.In October 1952,Chairman Mao Zedong made his first inspection tour to the Yellow River region and gave out a call upon the Chinese people,Work on the Yellow River must be done well, The central government held special meetings to summarize experiences and lessons on the control of the Yellow River,making overall plans for further harnessing of the river.One of them was to build a key dam at the mouth of the last gorge of the Yellow River in Xiaolangdi Village in Luoyang.However,it was only a long-range plan then,because we didn’t have the advantage or technical ability to build such a complicated and grand project in the newly founded China.So a series of workable measures was adopted,such as,building large water-control projects at the upper reaches,which was major means for the purpose of both generating electricity to bring benefit to the people and controlling the flow to ensure safety of the middle and lower reaches.The main work done at the middle reaches was promoting afforestation in a large scale so as to conserve water and soil.While at the lower reaches,reinforcing the river embankments by means of planting trees on both sides to heighten the ability of flood control .In addition,clearing the water by sedimentation was also adopted for integrated utilization of water and soil resources.More recently,President Jiang Zemin gave instruction,Make use of the harmful river so as to benefit the Chinese nation.More senior officials of the central government came to Luoyang to inspect the Yellow River.Finally,a historical important decision was made to build a giant project on the Yellow River in Luoyang-----the Xiaolangdi Water-control Project.It was listed as one of the most important state’s projects in China at the fourth plenary session of the Seventh National People’s Congress in 1991.Three years later that was in 1994 the former Premier Li Peng came to the spot purposely to exclaim the initiation of the historical grand project----the Yellow River Dam at Xiaolangdi.
The Dam,built like a huge skewed wall with rock and cohesive soil filles inside,is 1317meters along and 281meter in heights,which is able to control the flood occurred once every thousand years.The total measurement of the reservoir is 12.65billoin cubic meters.Its final water level is 275meters above sea level,which 128kilometers in backwash and273.3square km in area,of which 199.2kilometers are in Henan Province,possessing 73.1%of the total.In addition,after being built,the project can reduce or slow down the sediment deposit in the river of 29years and prevent flood threat in the range of 120,000square kilometers .It can control an drainage area of 694,000 square kilometers accounting for 90%of the total,increasing 4 billion cubic meters of water supply,which can not only meet the needs of industrial use but also make the water supply rate of 1,500Mu Yellow River-irrigated area in the lower reaches rising from 30% at present to 75%.The total installed capacity of the hydroelectric power station is 1.56million kw,with an annual generating capacity of 5.1billion kwh.As the largest water-control project on the Yellow
River,Xioalangdi is able to play an important role not only in flood control,ice prevention,silt reduction,irrigation,water supply and electric power generation in Henan Province and even in the whole region of the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River,but also in providing a new tourist attraction for tourist both at home and abroad.At present,a beautiful lake with a water surface of over 300 square km and green islands standing in like forest has already taken shape,which has formed a large area of tourist zone.It is as large as 1,262 square km in area,divided into four tourist attractions in total with 13tourist areas including 113scenic spots.According to the plan made by the province and the Ministry of Water Resources and Electric Power,a series of suited scenic spots will be built in a few years,which will be more appealing to tourists.
