　　篇一：华山英文导游词范例

　　Mount Hua is the highest of China’s five sacred mountains. It is 120 kilometers east of Xian. It has five peaks that resemble the petals of a flower. The highest peak is 2180 meters (7085 feet).

　　We had had discussions about going to Mount Hua with some graduate students from Computer Science. That didn’t work out due to changes in schedules on both sides. Also, they were planning to do the climb at night to be able to reach the peak at sunrise. That did not appeal to us. We wanted to spend a night on the mountain. Fran’s department arranged a trip for us, making reservations at the simple hotel on the North Peak. They sent two graduate students to accompany us, though they had not been to Mount Hua before. We met them at 8:00 on Saturday morning and took a taxi to the train station. There we asked around and located a mini-bus. The bus made a couple of stops. One was to see a presentation about the traditional medicines grown on the mountain and a chance to buy some of them. It probably would have been interesting if we understood Chinese. Our guides gave us the general outline about what was said. The other stop was a quick lunch stop.

　　There are two approaches to Mount Hua. [Chinese proverb: “There is one road and only one road to Mount Hua,” meaning that sometimes the hard way is the only way.] The west entrance involves 10 kilometers of walking on a road before you start climbing. We went with the east entrance, where the bus brings you to the base of a cable car that goes up to the 1500 meter North Peak. Our plan was to walk up to the North Peak, then climb to the four other peaks the next day and take the cable car down.

　　We started the climb in the early afternoon. The path consists of stone steps with rough chain link handrails in the narrowest areas (we wore our bicycling gloves for hand protection). Physically, it is more like climbing the steps of a skyscraper than trails at home. However, the temperature was about 95 degrees and there was not much shade. We brought lots of water, including some bottles that we froze and some Gatorade that we got at the fancy department store in downtown Xian. There are plenty of refreshment stands along the way where you can buy bottled water, the Chinese equivalent of Gatorade, and other drinks or snacks at a premium price.

　　We reached the North Peak before 4:00 PM and rested at the hotel. Our room was basic, but comfortable and clean enough. Because water is scarce on the mountain, there were neither showers nor sinks available for washing. In that sense the experience felt like camping, but we were sleeping in a big tent!

　　After dinner at the hotel restaurant, we spent some time talking with our guides. We were a bit surprised to find that they both think of Japan negatively, but like the U.S. It seems that Japan’s WWII behavior in China has not been forgotten, and is emphasized in school.

　　We saw a beautiful sunset and watched the sky become resplendent with thousands of stars, including the Milky Way galaxy. This was the clearest sky that we have seen in China. The fresh air at Mount Hua is a treat!

　　Our guides had both been planning to get up at 4:00 AM to watch the sunrise. Fran and I made sleep a priority. We did happen to wake up a bit before sunrise (our room faced east) and went outside to watch the sky become rosy. Ironically, our guides missed the sunrise because they had stayed up late watching the European soccer championships on the television in their room

　　The plan for the day was to climb the other four peaks, but we reserved the right to shorten the route. The first part was a steep climb to Middle Peak. After the low North Peak, all the others are at roughly 2000 meters. There were crowds on the way to Middle Peak – mostly Chinese hikers but we did see a few other wai guo (foreigners) as well.

　　We visited two Taoist temples en route to Middle Peak. Each one had an altar with incense and offerings of fruit. The friendly monks invited us to say a prayer or to send blessings to loved ones. Fran accepted their invitation. At the first temple, she lit incense sticks and knelt on a cushion in front of the altar saying a silent prayer for our safe journey to the various summits of Mount Hua (the prayer was answered). At the second temple, she knelt on a cushion in front of the altar and sent silent blessings to several friends who are experiencing challenging situations in their lives at present. After each blessing, she leaned forward and the monk struck a drum.

　　After Middle Peak, the crowds got much thinner. The next was East Peak, which had a steep ladder climbing rock. Fran was dubious about this ascent, but realized that the ladder wasn’t so bad and went for it. That was a good decision because we were then able to do a loop and the trails got almost empty at this point. After skirting the top of a cliff with a steep dropoff on both sides, we had a pleasant walk to South Peak and West Peak. There was even a small amount of dirt trail! The summit of South Peak was the highest point on Mount Hua, so of course we asked another hiker to take a photo of our guides and us. The views from the tops of each peak were beautiful. Mount Hua and the surrounding mountains are very rugged and remind us somewhat of hiking in the southwestern United States or the Sierras.

　　We took a route that eventually brought us to the main line returning down from Middle to North Peak. We were happy to have ascended each of the five peaks (petals) of Flower Mountain.

　　By cable car (the longest in Asia), it was just 7 minutes down to the park entrance. We caught a shuttle bus into town, then transferred to a bus for Xian.

　　Our guides told us that we had walked up and down a total of 4000 stairs! We were glad that we did not have this information when we started. For three days after returning home, our sore leg muscles instructed us to take the elevator to our fifth floor apartment rather than climbing the stairs.

　　篇二：华山英文导游词范例

　　Dear friends:

　　Mount Hua is located in the qinling mountain range, which lies in southern shaanxi province.

　　Mount Hua (hua means brilliant, chinese, or flowery; shan means mountain) is one of the five sacred taoist mountains in china. Mount Hua boasts a lot of religious sites: taoist temples, pavilions, and engraved scriptures are scattered over the mountain.

　　Mount Hua is well-known for its sheer cliffs and plunging ravines. it is known as “the most precipitous mountain under heaven” and is probably the most dangerous mountain in the world frequented by hikers.

　　Mount Hua is located 120 kilometers east of xi'an, about 3 hours from the city centre. there are five peaks that make up the mountain: cloud terrace peak (north peak, 1613m)， jade maiden peak (middle peak, 2042m)， sunrise peak (east peak, 2100m)， lotus peak (west peak, 2038m) and landing wild goose peak (south peak, 2160m). north peak, the lowest of the five, is the starting point. it has three ways up it: the six kilometer winding track from Mount Hua village, the cable car or the path beneath it.

　　next on the route is jade maiden peak. legend has it that a jade maiden was once seen riding a white horse among the mountains, hence the name. the hikers can choose to take a left to sunrise peak, a fine place to enjoy the view of the sunrise in early morning (which would involve climbing the mountain in the dark as there is nowhere to stay on the mountain).

　　alternatively visitors could take a right to lotus peak. Mount Hua means flower mountain, and it got the name from lotus peak, which resembles a beautifully blooming lotus flower. finally there is a gondola which taks visitors acroa steep valley to landing wild goose peak, the highest among the five summits. the path to the summit is characterized by steep rock faces, with obstacles including a foot-wide plank walkway fixed to a sheer rock face with only a chain along the rock for support. the route continues with footholds in the rock and a chain for holding. this is followed by a vertical ladder in a cleft in the rock. finally there are steep stone steps. the south peak is not for the faint of heart and is particularly dangerous in winter weather. however, the views are breathtaking. the climb to its summit makes it clear how the impenetrable mountain repelled attackers over the centuries.

　　as early as the second century bce, there was a daoist temple known as the shrine of the western peak located at its base. daoists believed that in the mountain lives a god of the underworld. the temple at the foot of the mountain was often used for spirits mediums to contact the god and his underlings. unlike taishan,which became a popular place of pilgrimage, Mount Hua only received local pilgrms, and was not well known in much of the rest of china. Mount Hua was also an important place for immortality seekers, as powerful drugs were reputed to be found there. kou qianzhi (365-448)， the founder of the northern celestial masters received revelations there, as did chen tuan (920-989)， who lived on the mountain prior to receiving immortality. in the 1230s, all the temples on the mountain came under control of the daoist quanzhen school. in 1998, the management committee of Mount Hua agreed to turn over most of the mountain's temples to the china daoist association. this was done to help protect the environment, as the presence of monks and nuns deters poachers and loggers.
