Tourists,
hello everyone! Today, we are going to visit Chaohu Lake, one of China's five major freshwater lakes and a national key scenic spot. Before visiting, let me give you an overview of it. Chaohu Lake is located in the middle of Anhui Province. It is named after its bird nest shape. It is 54.5 kilometers long from east to west, 21 kilometers wide from north to south, and covers an area of more than 800 square kilometers. Now it is the "Inner Lake" of Hefei. Since ancient times, it has the reputation of "eight hundred Li Lake sky". There are mountains in the lake and water in the mountains. It is known for its beautiful scenery. Chaohu Lake is also a famous land of fish and rice. Its silverfish, white rice shrimp and crabs are known as "three treasures of Chaohu Lake".
Chaohu, also known as "Jiaohu". It is said that Chaohu was a state in ancient times. One year when it was dry, xiaobailong secretly rained to get rid of the drought. He broke the rule of heaven and was banished to earth by the emperor of heaven. In order to repay her for saving her life, she told her that the emperor of heaven was going to sink into Chaozhou. She told the villagers in time to make them die. However, she delayed her escape and was drowned by the flood. Later, in order to commemorate the spirit of sacrificing herself for others, people called the lake "Jiaohu" and named a mountain in the lake "Laoshan". Of course, this is only a legend. The real formation of Chaohu Lake is the result of crustal movement.
Today, we mainly visit Zhongmiao, Laoshan island and yinpingshan peony. Dear tourists, our current location is Zhongmiao pier. This temple is Zhongmiao. Why is it called Zhongmiao? This ancient temple is named because it is located between Hefei and Chaohu Lake. It is known as "the most beautiful place in the lake". Due to the strong fragrance in the past dynasties, it is known as "South Jiuhua, North Temple". The Zhongmiao temple was built in the Han Dynasty and has a history of more than 20xx years. Since the Han Dynasty, it has been abandoned and repaired many times. In 1889, the 15th year of the reign of Emperor Guangxu, Li Hongzhang proposed to raise funds to build the temple. There were more than 70 temples. Please have a look. What's this? Yes, it's a stick. It's used by the Taoist in the Taoist temple to hang incantations. As we all know, it is unlikely that there is such a big stick in front of a Buddhist temple. It is said that it used to be a Taoist temple. At the beginning, it was Bixia Yuanjun, the "Empress of Zhongmiao" that we worship now. In the Wei, Jin, southern and Northern Dynasties, Buddhism began to prevail, Taoism gradually declined, so the original Taoist temple became a Buddhist temple.
Ladies and gentlemen, please follow me. Now let's take a cruise to visit Laoshan island. Laoshan island is the largest of the three major islands in Chaohu, about 3 kilometers away from Zhongmiao. There are more than 90 families and more than 200 people on the island. They live by fishing for a long time. The ecological environment of Laoshan island is very good, and the vegetation coverage rate reaches 99%. The tower we see now is Wenfeng tower. Wenfeng tower was built in the Chongzhen period of Ming Dynasty. When it was built on the fourth floor, it was shut down because of the peasant uprising. During the reign of Emperor Guangxu of the Qing Dynasty, local squires lobbied Li Hongzhang to say: Li Zhongtang, our temple, has a local saying that "the top of Mount Laoshan, the top of Luzhou". Li Hongzhang, a native of Luzhou, who is now from Hefei, was very happy after hearing this, so he decided to raise money to build the pagoda and named it "Wenfeng pagoda". Wenfeng tower is now seven story octagonal, 133 steps, 51 meters high, the top of the tower inlaid with Li Hongzhang. Standing on the tower, you can see shoshan and Gushan.
Ladies and gentlemen, after visiting Laoshan Island, we are going to visit Yinping mountain peony. When it comes to peony, you will think of many poems about peony. One of them is "natural beauty, people can't give up, and the earth nurtures the famous flower, and the guest comes". Today, we come to Yinping mountain to enjoy the magic peony. Please look in the direction of my finger. There are four big characters on the cliff which is tens of feet high: strange flowers on the silver screen. There is a cluster of flowers 1.5 meters above the "strange" character. This is the wild white peony on the silver screen, which is the "most wonderful flower in the world". Every year, in the rainy season, the flowers are in full bloom,
People from all over the world will come here to watch peonies. It is said that this wild white peony has magical aura, which can predict the year scenery and drought and flood situation from its blooming and withering, more and less: for example, five flowers bloom, good weather and good harvest; flowers bloom early and wither early, there will be drought and so on. Therefore, the local people call her "weather flower" and "God flower". In 1998, the Institute of biology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences calculated that this wild white peony may be the ancestor of the existing tree peony, and it is also the only and last tree in the world, which has been included in the Chinese famous places dictionary.
Well, today's visit ends here. I hope today's visit will leave you a good and deep memory! thank you!

Dear friends, that's all for my introduction. Next, take your time to visitthe places you are interested in,
Watch carefully!
Entering the Temple , the first comes to sight is 10 m high gate, on the arch of which there hangs a horizontal inscribed board: Temple of Solitary Joy. The single eaves ground hall roof was the roof building form during the western Tsin (AD265-316) and Southern and Northern Dyansty (420-589) period, which was called Siadading in ancient time and now it is called big roof. On the two ends of the plane ridge, there are inward Chiweis. Chi denoted sparrow hawk in ancient time, which is a kind of fierce bird. The stand base of the gate is comparatively low, but the hall pinnacle is much higher above eaves and the pottery animal figures look sturdy; solemn and sturdy. There is no ceiling inside the pinnacle, therefor the painted beam and purlieus are visible. The whole piece is exquisitely wrought, simple arranged and skillfully done, for which people gasp in administration.
Crossing the gate, one comes to the core building - Avalokitesvara Pavilion, 23 m in height. Form outside appearance, it is two storeyed, but inside there is a hidden storey, thus three storeyed in fact. On the eaves corners, pottery unicorns are sculptured, on which little Buddha statues ride. Copper bells are hung under eaves corners, swaying with the wind, a specially refined scene. The most attractive thing is the structure of Dougong (sets of brackets on top of the columns supporting the beams within and roof eaves without——each set consisting of tiers of outstretching arms called Gong, cushioned with trapezoidal blocks called Dou). It is made of overlapping Dougong shaped wood blocks and bow shaped horizontal wood bars by adopting 24 forms with each layer stretching out as bracket, big in upper part and small in lower part, thinly scattered, steady and sturdy. It makes eaves of the pavilion look like flying, far and deep in the sky, a beautiful and magnificent view.
Entering the Avalokitesvara Pavilion, the very sight is a huge standing Avalokitesvara Statue. If one stands by it, his height is only up to her ankle. The Statue, 16.27 m in height, is the biggest clay sculpture of Avalokitesvara in China. Two statues of attendant Bodhisattvas under the knee of Avalokitesvara are also 3 m in height. On the crown of the head of Avalokitesvara, there are 10 small Avalokitesvare's heads, hence it is called 11 faces Avalokitesvara. Reviewing around the inner part of the pavilion, one can discover that pillars of high and low storeys are not directly linked through, but the pillars of the upper storey are ed into the arch head of that of lower storey. The upper storey of the pavilion is in a form of six corners empty well, while the lower storey is in a form of square empty well. This kind of structure is not only beautiful and strong, but also adds the space of the upper part of Budha statues. On the four walls inside the pavilion, colorful murals are painted, the theme of which is the images of 16 Arhats and 2 Ming Dynasty Emperors, which are the earliest subjects of Buddhism. On he murals, 2 m high Arhats with 3 heads and 4 arms are extremely lifelike and Ming Emperors on the four walls are full of power and grandeur. On the upper part of the murals, there are mountains, forest, cloud and river, while on the lower part, there are paintings of secular themes with vivid and natural lines, which embody the superb the skill and arts of painting of ancient Buddhism in China.

Historical relics, naturalscenery, temples, churches, assembly halls and commemorative sites of theChinese revolution will illuminate Tianjin's past, present and future. Tianjinis honored as 'Building Museum' as it was occupied by nine imperial powersbefore the founding of the new China, leaving behind many buildings withextraordinary and exotic architectural styles, a real feast for the eye! In thefollowing text let me give you a brief introduction to the Jinmen Shijing (topten scenic attractions in Tianjin).
Huangyaguan Great Wall :
Located in the mountainous area of Tianjin's northern Ji County, theHuangyaguan Great Wall was first built during the Northern Qi Dynasty (550 -557) and repaired in large scale with bricks during the Ming Dynasty (1368 -1644). When appointed as the chief commanding officer in the Ji Garrison (one ofthe eleven garrisons of the Ming Dynasty), Qi Jiguang added watch towers andother defensive works.
The Huangyaguan Great Wall comes out first in the ten most-visited sites inTianjin. It is considered to be a miniature of the Great Wall. The entiresection is built on an abrupt mountain ridge. Being endowed with both naturalbeauty and cultural interest, it has become famous as a natural beauty spot anda summer resort. The major scenic area is composed of Huangyaguan Pass andTaiping Mountain stronghold.
Huangyaguan Pass: In 1984, the people of Tianjin spent three yearsrepairing 3,308 yards of the main wall from Banlagang Mountain in the east toWangmaoding Mountain in the west. They restored 20 terraces, the HuangyaguanWater Gate, and the Bagua Castle (the Eight Diagrams Castle). The defensivesystem of the wall is complete. Watch towers, frontier cities, drain holes,emplacements, barracks and other indispensable military facilities are arrangedorderly along the wall. Besides, the stele forests of the Great Wall, BeijiTemple, the exhibition hall of famous couplets, the Great Wall Museum (the firstmuseum along the Great Wall) and the Phoenix Fortress have been newly builtwithin the area.
Taipingzhai Great Wall :
Six miles southeast of Huangyaguan Pass is the Taipingzhai Great Wall,another important mountain stronghold of the wall during the Ming Dynasty (1368- 1644). It is also called Taipinganzhai, meaning "a village of peace andprosperity". Starting from Banlagang Mountain in the east and arriving at GuafuTower (Widow Tower) in the west, it winds through the precipitous mountains forabout 955 yards.
The wall is an important component of Huangyaguan Great Wall. There are sixwatch towers, one battlement, and one shortcut leading to the wall. Thearchitectural styles of the military towers vary considerably. There are square,round, solid and hollow towers, with some inside and others outside the de the shortcut, there is a small citadel where an 8.5-meter statue of QiJiguang, the chief commanding officer of Ji Garrison (one of the elevengarrisons in the Ming Dynasty) is located. The local people built this statue inorder to commemorate his great contribution to frontier peace and stability inthat period. To the west of the citadel, a section of the wall extends 33 yardsout to where a sentry post was situated.
At the western end of the wall is a square stone tower called Guafu Tower,"Widow Tower" in English, built by twelve wives whose husbands died during theconstruction of the wall in the Ming Dynasty. The widows erected this tower tocommemorate their husbands' notable exploits. The tower has two levels andmeasures 13-meters (14-yards) high. Arched arrow windows are on the four sidesof the tower.
Besides these cultural points of interest, Taipingzhai Great Wall is alsofamous for its amazingly impressive scenery. Zigzagging along the mountain ridgefor over 984 yards, the wall looks very much like a giant dragon flying throughclouds.
Mt. Panshan Scenic Area :
Covering an area of 106 square kilometers (about 26193 acres), Mt. PanshanScenic Area is located in Jixian County, 110 kilometers (68.4 miles) away fromTianjin, 88 kilometers (54.7 miles) away from Beijing.
