  3. Background Knowledge 背景知识 • Tourist Attractions • Tourist attractions refer to those objects and events, existing both in nature and human society, which are of interest to tourists and pull them to travel. The tourism industry can take advantage of tourist attractions to produce benefits for society and the environment. Tourist attractions include natural resources such as weather, landscapes and other natural sites as well as human resources like historical relics, culture and the customs. In China, tourist attractions often mean the same as tourism resources. The definition of tourism resources indicates that the natural and human factors which attract tourists may become tourism resources.

  18. Writing On-the-way Introduction • On-the-way introduction is an important part of guiding service. It may take hours for tourists to arrive at the destination. A tour guide should try to arouse the interest of the tourists who may feel boring because of the long journey en route. So on-the-way introduction is one of the best ways to keep tourists in high spirits and aspiring for the tourist site. The following two aspects should be observed while making on-the-way introduction: • A general introduction of the destination so as to create a good image or the mental picture in the mind of tourists. • Briefly introduce the location, distance and the expected arrival time of the destination. • Describe the cities or scenic spots en route when tourists pass. • Briefly explain the travel schedule for the present day or the next day upon arrival.

  19. On-the-way Introduction • Writing Practice • Make an on-the-way introduction to a scenic spot which you are familiar with. • Suggested answer: Impressive Li River Trip • (the second section: from Ox Gorge to Water-Dropping Village) • Ladies and gentlemen, in the first section of our impressive Li River trip we have enjoyed Elephant-Trunk Hill, Rooster Fighting Hill, Pagoda Hill, Forest of Odd Shaped Peaks, Daxu Ancient Town, and Ox Gorge. • Now, let’s begin our the second section, which is from Ox Gorge to Water-Dropping Village. Many charming sceneries are awaiting you • Look, what name will you give to that hill? Crown? Good! A crown-like crag earns the hill its name. What makes the hill a worthy stop for both river cruise tourists and those arrive from Guilin City by bus tour is its twelve kilometer long water-eroded cave. It is a wonderland of various stalactite, stone pillars and rock formations in the cave. • Not very far from the Crown Cave on the western bank, a huge rock descends into the river and cuts off a footpath by the water edge. Villagers have to take a ferry to reach the other side and continue the way. So, this spot gets its name Half-Side Ferry (for usually ferry means to transport people by boat across a body of water and reach the opposite bank)

  20. On-the-way Introduction • Down stream from Yangdi to Xingping, the river passes an endless procession of distinct peaks and bamboo groves and the stunning landscape. This part is the highlight of the cruise. Pinnacled peaks pop up and surprise visitors at each bend of the river. Water buffalos patrol on the fields; ducks paddle in the waters; peasants reap paddies in front of village houses; fishermen use the cormorants to catch the fish and return them to the boat and kids go home singing songs. All these create an idyllic and beautiful scene of the life removed from concrete cities. • A reputed attraction is Mural Hill, a 100-meter-high cliff face, which has been weathered and has stratified rock surface in various shades of colors. It is rumored that the colors present nine horses and a person who can identify them out is considered smart. Are you smart enough? How many horses can you find? Now have a try! • Fisherman and their cormorants are also attractions along the Li River. Cormorants are good sized birds who enjoy diving underwater in search of fish. When the birds catch a fish they return to the boat and the fisherman removes the fish from their throat and places it in the basket. The secret is that the fisherman places a cord around the bird's neck to keep the bird from swallowing the fish. • Can you see buffalos gazing along the river bank or patrolling on the fields? They seem to be indispensable friends of peasants, especially for kids.

  21. On-the-way Introduction • Boating downstream southward from the Mural Hill about 500 meters, peaks become steep and the river become wide and quiet. A huge yellow flagstone lying under the limpid waters can easily be seen. It is like a cloth piece and people called it Yellow Cloth Shoal. There are seven green peaks standing nearby. A legend goes that the seven peaks are fairy girls from the heaven who took baths in the river. Enthralled by the charming scene, they stayed here and become into the peaks. With verdant bamboos, the green peaks under the blue sky reflected on the quiet waters create a spectacular scene. Sometimes, people doubt they see boats floating on hill tops. Many Chinese paintings and poems present this charming scene and tourists run out of their films for it. • The river takes a big turn at Xingping and endowed with beautiful and poetic scenery. It has been reproduced in many Chinese landscape paintings. Even the newly-issued 20 RMB note has the scenery on its back. A photographer once said: “Shots from any perspective for this place turn to be impressive and stunning”. • A village on the river bank is worthy a visit. Chinese call it a village because of the fact that nowadays it is inhabited by villagers. Actually, it is an age-old castle complex survived from over 500 years ago. Although some courtyard buildings have weathered through ages, the simple but elegant flying-eaves, roofs with colorful paintings, lattice windows and unique timber structures present the folk residence from the Ming and Qing Dynasties. The villagers have the same surname of Zhao, so it is rumored that they are descendents of the imperial family in the Song Dynasty. Both Dr. Sun Yet-sun, the pioneer of China's democratic revolution and US president Colinton paid a visit to the village on their visits to Li River. The third section of our impressive Li River trip goes from Water-Dropping Village to Yangshuo where you can see Snail Hill, Green Lotus Peak (Bilian Peak), and Schoolboy Hill (Shutong Hill). The scenery is equally beautiful….
