Guide:
Almost all foreigners visiting China come to Hang Zhou for
a visit. Hang Zhou is one of the top tourist attractions in China.
Tourist: Hang Zhou is really a
beautiful city.
G: And it's a lake city,
too.
T: Now could you tell
me something about Hang Zhou so that I can fully appreciate
the things I’m going to see?
G: OK. Hang
Zhou has always been
known as “the earthly paradise”. People always say
Hang Zhou is a beautiful lake city. It is crisscrossed
by scattered lakes and rivers. It is the best time for visiting here.
And it is a good time to jog
on the Bai Causeway and Su Causeway.
T:
I'm told it is worth visiting. So I came here.
G: OK, here we are in Hang Zhou. We Chinese have
a saying, “There is a paradise in heaven and there are Su Zhou and
Hang Zhou in this world.” This shows the beauty of these two cities.
The beauty of Hang Zhou is associated
with the West Lake.
T: I
hear the West Lake offers ten fabled sceneries. What are they?
G: Well, they are
Autumn
Moon over the Calm Lake, Su
Causeway in Spring Dawn, Viewing
Fish at Flower Harbor, Listening
to Orioles in the willows, Twin
Peaks to Piercing the Clouds, Three
Pools Mirroring the Moon, Sunset
View of Leifeng Tower, Evening
bell of the Southern Screen, Lotus
in the Breeze at Crooked Courtyard and Melting
Snow on the Broken Bridge.
T:
Are we going to see all of them today, Liu?
G:
No, not all of them. But we will see most of them.
