PLACES OF INTEREST
Last Saturday,Debbie arrived at Sunbeam Travel and was given an urgent job.
Mr Yang gave her this information
and asked her to arrange a tour programme
for a group of 20 tourists visiting China.
1 The Great Wall rises and falls,
twists and turns along the hill-tops of mountain chains in northern China.
It is the only man-made structure which can be seen from space.
Construction of the wall began in the fifth century B.C.
The wall finally took shape in the the third century B.C.
It is preserved as a historic monument today.
Travellers can go by car or train
to visit a famous section of the wall called Badaling,
which is 85 kilometres north of Beijing.
2 The new Shanghai Museum Building
is a magnificent structure with a square base and a circular top.
The centre of the top is a glass dome
which looks like a huge bronze mirror of the Han Dynasty.
The museum's collections of ancient Chinese bronze,ceramics,
paintings and calligraphy are well-known in the world.
Museum open 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
3 The Peak Tram has been making the seven-minute journey to the Peak since 1888.
You can enjoy a superb view of Hong Kong from the Peak.
The lower terminus is only a five-minute walk from the Bank of China Building.
4 The scenery along the Lijiang River in Guilin
is just like a beautiful landscape painting.
Take a boat trip,and you will be fascinated by the oddly-shaped hills and peaks
along the river and also their reflections in the clear water.

名胜古迹
上周六,黛比来到阳光旅游公司后接到了一个紧急工作任务。
杨先生告诉她
并让她安排一个旅游项目
是带领20个游客游览中国。
1 长城时起时伏,
长城像链条一样随着山势的走向在中国北方蜿蜒曲折。
这是唯一一个可以从太空中俯瞰到的人造建筑物。
长城最早始建于公元前五世纪。
并于公元前三世纪成型。
目前正被作为历史古迹保护着。
游客可以选择乘汽车或者火车
去游览长城中叫八达岭的那一段,
八达岭位于北京以北50千米处。
2 新上海博物馆
是一个拥有方底圆顶的雄伟建筑。
顶部中央是一个玻璃质圆顶
看起来就像汉代一个巨大的铜镜。
博物馆收藏了举世闻名的中国古代的铜器、瓷器、
以及图画和书法作品。
博物馆在上午9点开关,下午4点30闭关。
3 1888年山顶缆车建成后,通往山顶的时间就只要7分钟。
你可以从山尽情感受瞰香港的美景。
缆车终点离中国银行大楼只有五分钟路程。
4 桂林漓江风景
就像一幅美丽的山水画。
乘船旅行,你会为奇形怪状的丘陵和山峰
和水中的倒影而着迷。
