2：Xi?an in brief
Xi?an was known as Chang? an from the Han Dynasty to the Ming Dynasty, since the early Ming Dynasty, it has been called Xi?an. Over1100 years, beginning from the 11th century B.C. to the late 9th century, 13 dynasties from Western Zhou to the Tang successively built their national capitals in Xi?an. Chang? an was not only the political, economic and cultural center of the country, but also an important international metropolis in the Han Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty. the famous “Silk Road ”,the key thoroughfare connecting the eastern and the western parts of the world, started from Chang? an and played an important role for the economic and cultural exchange between China and many countries at that time. With a history of over 3100 years, Xi?an ranks first in the seven ancient capitals in China and is known as one of the four major capitals with ancient civilization in the world, together with Ancient Rome, Athens, and Cairo. Hence the saying “There is Rome in the West, and Chang? an in the East”.
Xi?an, the capital of Shaanxi province, is situated in the middle of the Central Shaanxi Plains with beautiful landscape, fertile land and temperate climate. lt is rich in tourism resources. There are 98 historical monuments and cultural relics, more than 4000 ancient ruins, mausoleums and tombs, and 120,000 unearthed cultural relics in the city. In the center of Xi?an stands the Bell tower, built in 1582. looking from the tower, vistors can have a panoramic view of Xi?an city in different direction, 400 meters west of the Bell Tower is Drum Tower, constructed in 1380 in the Ming Dynasty. The big drums in the tower have witnessed the history of Xi?an.
In the southeast of the city of Xi?an stands the Province Museum of Shaanxi, exhibiting a collection of cultural relics through all the ancient time. The “Forest of Stone Tablets” is the most famous, which consists of more than 1000 invaluable steles produced from the Han Dynasty. The “Forest of Stone Tablets” has thus been acclaimed as the “stone library” and “treasure of Travel guide to Xi?an 西安导游词 1
calligraphic art” in China. Also in the east of Xi?an are the ruins of the Banpo culture, the Banpo men, a typical matriarchal clan commuity, lived in the Yellow River Valley about 6000 years ago. About 25 kilometers east of Xi?an stands Mount Lishan. Huaqing Pool (hot springs),at the foot of Mount Lishan,was the place for emperors to bathe and enjoy the scenic beauty, The water of the pool is clear and uncontaminated at a constant of 43℃,and contains various kinds of mineral salts and sulphates.now it is a favorite spa. In the north of Xi?an is a mausoleum district with 27 mausoleums of Han and Tang emperors as well as members of their royal families and meritorious officials, The most representative one of all those mausoleums are: Mao mausoleum, the tomb of Liuche.Emperor Wudi of the Han Dynasty;Zhao mausoleum, the tomb of the Lishimin,Emperor of Taizong of the Tang Dynasty. Qian mausoleum, the joint tomb where Emperor Gaozong of Tang and his queen---Empress Wuzentian were buried together. the three imperical mausoleums are grand in scale and magnificence in appearance, and contain a great deal of invaluable funeral objects that suggest the golden time in ancient China.
Xi?an is one of the most famous tourist resorts in china. There are a lot of cultural relics and historical sites preserved there. They reflect the different features of the ancient Chinese society. We could get a great deal of historical knowledge by visiting Xi?an.
3：Hot Itineraries
（1）:Museum of Terra Cotta Warriors and Horses
The Terra Cotta Warriors and Horses locates Lintong District, in the east of xi?an,is the most significant archeological excavations of the 20th century. It is praised as 'the eighth major miracle of the world' and becomes a sight not to be missed by any visitor to China.
In 246 BC, Qin Shi Huang, later the first Emperor of all China, had begun to work for his mausoleum. It took 11 years to finish. It is speculated that many buried treasures and sacrificial objects had accompanied the emperor in his after life. A group of peasants uncovered some pottery while digging for a well nearby the royal tomb in 1974. it caught the attention of archeologists immediately. The State Council authorized to build a museum on site in 1975. When completed, people from far and near came to visit. Xian and the Museum of Qin Terra Cotta Warriors and Horses have become landmarks on all travelers' itinerary.
The museum covers an area of 16,300 square meters, divided into three sections: No.1 Pit, No.2 Pit, and No.3 Pit respectively. They were tagged in the order of their discoveries. No. 1 Pit is the largest, first opened to the public on China's National Day, 1979. There are columns of soldiers at the front, followed by war chariots at the back.
No. 2 Pit, found in 1976, is 20 meters northeast of No. 1 Pit. It contained over a thousand warriors and 90 chariots of wood. It was unveiled to the public in 1994.Archeologists came upon No. 3 Pit also in 1976, 25 meters northwest of No. 1 Pit. It looked like to be the command center of the armed forces. It went on display in 1989, with 68 warriors, a war chariot and four horses.
Altogether over 7,000 pottery soldiers, horses, chariots, and even weapons have been unearthed from these pits. Most of them have been restored to their former grandeur. The Terra Cotta Warriors and Horses is a sensational archeological find of all times. It has put Xian on the map for tourists. It was listed by UNESCO in 1987 as one of the world cultural heritages.
（2）:Xi?an City Wall
The Xi'an City Wall is not only the most complete architecture well preserved of ancient Chinese burghs but also the largest in size and integral ancient military fort of the world. in 1997, US Travel guide to Xi?an 西安导游词 2
President Clinton took the first stop of his China journey in Xi'an and sang high praise for the ancient city wall and the gates.
Early before founding the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang accepted his Secretary?s(Zhu Shen) proposal that the ambitious general should “build high walls, store abundant provisions and take your time in proclaiming yourself” ordered local governments all over the country build city walls as much as could after he spreads his power covering the whole country. Therefore the ancient Xi'an City Wall came into being on the original base of the capital of Tang Dynasty. it augmented in Ming Dynasty measures 12 meters high, 12 to 14 meters wide on the top, 15 to 18 meters wide at the bottom with a total length of 13.7 kilometers. There is a watchtower in every 120 meters, outstanding with a same height leveling with the wall to help soldiers kill enemies that are climbing the wall.
Due to the backward weapons of ancient time and therefore the gate provided the only way to enter the city, rulers of every period all put their emphasis on the gate. There are four ancient gates on east, west, south, and north of the burgh. Each has three gates belonging to the main tower, the arrow tower, and the Zhalou tower. The gate is of great importance to the defense systems of the city but is a weak part in strategy. In peacetime, it provides a way to relate the two areas separated by the wall and in wartime becomes the first target that both sides want to control.
Time passes quickly and things happen every day, it is common to see something be treat differently in different times. In early years, those ancient walls regarded as the obstacle to the modernization of the city, but now it is the pride, which brings great honor to the old city as the light of honor absorbing historical accumulation.
The ancient Xi'an fort has not only displayed the Chinese talent showing in military construction but also provided valuable information to study history, military developments and architecture structure. The ancient city wall and the city gates are not only the shining stars of history but also historic wonders attracting tourists.
（3）: The Big Wild Goose Pagoda
Big Wild Goose Pagoda, situated in the Da Ci'en Temple, is one of the famous Buddhist pagodas in China about 4 kilometers from the urban center. Originally built in 589 A.D. in the Sui dynasty, the temple was named Wu Lou Si Temple till 648 A.D. when Emperor Li Zhi, then still a crown prince, sponsored a repair project on the temple. and gave orders to build a chamber for the translation of Buddhist scriptures in an effort to have the then widely renowned Master Xuanzang (Monk Tripitaka) agree to be the head of the temple.
The Wild Goose Pagoda was finished in 652 A.D. Its five storeys are 60 meters in height. The decay of the earth-cored pagoda caused the new construction of a 10-storey pagoda from 701 to 704. However, the winds of war, in the years to come, reduced the pagoda almost to ruins, which in turn resulted in the construction of a 7-storeyed, 64-meter-high structure today.
The pagoda was an architectural marvel. It was built with layers of bricks but without any cement in between. The bracket style in traditional Chinese architecture was also used in the construction, is indeed a good example of ancient people's wisdom and talent. Inside the temple, there are two small buildings: the one on the east side houses a bell, and the one on the west side a drum. The bell, an iron cast from the Ming dynasty, weights 15 tons. Together with the drum, the bell was used to strike time for the monks in the temple.

2：西安简介
西安自汉代至明代一直被称为长安，而自明朝初年起，改名为西安。 历经1100多年（从公元前11世纪初至9世纪末），共计有13个朝代（西周到唐）先后在西安建都。长安不仅是当时国家的政治，经济和文化中心，而且还是汉唐时期重要的国际大都市。连接世界东方和西方的著名的“丝绸之路”，就起源于长安，它在促进中国和世界其他国家的经济和文化交流方面发挥了重要作用。在中国七大历史故都之中，西安以其三千一百多年历史而位居首位，并同古罗马，雅典，开罗等名城享誉全球。因此，有句古话说：“欲知世界之历史；在西方看罗马，而在东方则看长安”。
西安，陕西省省会，位于陕西省的中部平原，风景秀丽，土地肥沃，气候温和。旅游资源丰富。共计有98处历史文化古迹，4000多处古遗址，陵园，墓地等，及12万件出土的文物。在西安的中心矗立着钟楼，建于1582年。站在钟楼上俯瞰，可观西安全景。距钟楼以西400 Travel guide to Xi?an 西安导游词 4
米则是是鼓楼，它建于1380年（明代），而楼上的大鼓则见证了西安的沧桑历史。
在西安城东南方向，坐落着陕西省历史博物馆，它全面展示了远古时期的文物及收藏。其中“西安碑林”是最有名的，它由自汉代以来雕刻的1000多件宝贵的石碑组成。因此“西安碑林”，被誉为中国“石碑博物馆”和“书法艺术的宝库”。
西安城以东则有半坡文化遗址。半坡人，大约在6000年以前就生活在黄河流域。是一个典型的母系氏族社会。大约在骊山以东25公里处则有一个著名的温泉---华清池。并富含各种矿物质，池水透明无污染且水温始终保持43℃。是一个理想的温泉浴场。古代是专为为皇帝沐浴洗澡，享受美景的地方。在西安城以北则有27处古代汉唐帝王陵墓，以及他们的王室成员和功臣名士的墓区。其中最具有代表性的有：茂陵（东汉武帝刘彻），唐昭陵（李世民），及乾陵（唐高宗和女皇武则天的合葬墓）。这些皇家陵墓不仅规模宏伟，而且包含了大量珍贵的陪葬品。
西安是中国最有名的旅游度假胜地之一。有许多历史悠久的文物古迹。他们反映了我们中国古代灿烂的文化。来西安旅游，你将受益匪浅。。
3：精品旅游
（1）秦始皇兵马俑
兵马俑位于西安以东的临潼区，是20世纪世界考古史上最重大的考古发掘之一，曾被誉为'世界第八大奇迹'，成为许多国外友人来中国旅游参观不可错过的景观。。
公元前246年，秦始皇（中国历史上第一个皇帝），开始耗时11年完成他的陵墓，据说有许多珍贵的陪葬品。19xx年，生活在秦始皇墓区附近的农民在打井时发现了一些陶器。立即引起了考古学家的注意，于是19xx年，国务院批准建立兵马俑博物馆。建成后，国内外游客纷纷前来参观由远及近的人来访问。秦兵马俑博物馆称为西安旅游的标志。
博物馆占地面积16300平方米共分为三个俑坑，三个坑分别定名为一、二、三号兵马俑坑先后被发掘。：其中 1号坑是最大的，于19xx年国庆节向公众开放。其由前面的步兵方阵和后面的驷马战车方阵组成。2号坑，于19xx年发现，距东北方向的1号坑大20米。它由1000个陶制士兵和90两木质战车构成，于19xx年向公众开放。3号坑位于1号坑西北方向25米处，于19xx年被发掘。它似为统师三军的指挥部，由68个陶俑和4 个战马1 个战车构成，于19xx年对外展出。
到目前为止，共计出土陶俑，战马，战车及兵器达7000多件。其中大部份已恢复原样，兵马俑的出土设个历经沧桑的考古发现，它已经成为了西安旅游及图的标志，于19xx年，被联合国教科文组织列入“世界文化遗产名录”。
（2）西安古城墙
西安古城墙不仅是中国保留至今最完整的古代城垣建筑，而且也是世界上不可或缺的规模最大的军事建筑。 19xx年，美国总统克林顿将西安作为访华之旅的第一站，在西安就高度评价了的古城墙和城门。
早在明朝建国之初，朱元璋采纳了其大臣（朱申）的建议，即“高筑墙，广积粮，缓称王”。于是下令全国各地的地方官员尽其所能建立城墙。因此，古老的西安城墙在唐代城墙的基础上得到了进一步加固。明城墙高12米，顶部宽12至14米，底部宽15至18而周长约13.7公里。每隔120米则设有一个地台，顶与城墙面平，以便于士兵防御爬墙的敌人。
由于古代落后的冷兵器，而城门是敌人攻入城市的唯一通道。因此每朝封建统治者都会把加固城墙作为自己苦心经营的防御重点。西安古城共有东、西、南、北四座城门。而分别有正楼、箭楼、闸楼三重城门。城门是古代城池防御系统最重要的环节，却是战略上较为薄弱的环节。在战争年代，他是敌我双方都欲控制的目标，而在和平时间却连接着城内城外两个地 Travel guide to Xi?an 西安导游词 5
区。
时间飞逝，事过境迁，同一事物在不同时代被区别对待这是常见的。西安古城区内隔墙曾被认为阻碍城市现代文明的障碍，而现在它已作为西安古文明的象征，称为西安为之自豪骄傲的标志。
西安古城墙，不仅展示了中国古代劳动人民的聪明才智，而且为现在研究古代历史提供了宝贵资料。它以成为研究古代历史，军事，文化发展的重要材料，是中国古代建筑史上耀眼的明星，称为广大游客前来参观的历史奇迹。
（3）大雁塔
大雁塔，坐落距西安市中心4公里的大慈恩寺内，是在中国著名的佛塔之一。始建于隋朝589年。后于648年间（唐高宗李治当时王储）命名为为浮屠塔，并开始重新。并命玄奘法师为为大慈恩寺主持，来全力翻译自印度带回的梵文经典佛经。
大雁塔于公元652完工，其高30米共分5层。由于岁月风雨剥蚀，塔身逐渐塌损。曾于701年至704年间重修。后来慈恩寺寺院屡遭兵火，殿宇焚毁，只有大雁塔独存。经腐朽即变为今天的64米高，7层砖塔。
大雁塔是中国建筑史的又一奇迹，是仿木结构的四方形楼阁式砖塔。而这种仿木结构创痛不仅运用于古代建筑，也一直流传至今。是个体现中国古代人民智慧和才能的例子。在慈恩寺内，坐落着另外另个建筑分别是：位于东面的明朝大钟和位于西面的大鼓。钟，铁质，重达15吨。通过击打种和鼓，大慈恩寺内的僧侣可以知道时间了。
4:欢送词
女生们，先生们
下午好，你的西安之行将近尾声了。很遗憾，你将踏上归程而离开中国了。在此请允许我借此想你说一声道别。时间飞逝如白驹过隙，我同你们一起参观了西安很多景点，如兵马俑，西安古城墙，华清池等。其实，我们仅仅参观了西安旅游景点的一小部分。
很感谢三天来你们对我们工作的理解与支持，也很感谢你们对我们导游工作的诚恳建议。中国有句古话“有朋自从远方来，不亦乐乎”。你的西安之行是短暂的，但我相信我们的友情将会持续到永久。我想我们会铭记我们在一起的时光，并期待你的下一次西安之旅。
