　　篇一、烏鎮(zhèn)西柵英文導(dǎo)游詞

　　In the tranquil little village of Wuzhen, the light hangs over the Dong Shi River in a soft summer pallour, as though the clouds are making a deliberate effort to protect the residents from sunburn. Along the river, a select group of day-trippers enjoy a cruise aboard a pole-steered barge. I'm highly privileged to be visiting the very last of China's ancient "water towns" to be opened to visitors.

　　When the authorities opened the 1,300 year old riverine settlement of Wuzhen to visitors in early 2001, they were determined to avoid the tacky mix of tourist restaurants and kitsch souvenir shops that has swamped other estuary towns such as Zhouzhuang (which also lies in the Yangtze River delta). Wuzhen's old buildings, an architectural symphony of stone, wood and tiles, have been preserved rather than restored, and lovingly maintained rather than tarted up. The result is a place that is a sheer joy to explore on foot.

　　Wuzhen is still a living town, where daily life goes on life goes on as it has for the last thousand or so years. Coppersmiths, wood-carver and silk-spinners work at their age-old crafts. Bicycle rickshaw drivers exchange stories as they wait for passengers. People cart water, cook meals, and tend their gardens, each flower-plot the size of a postage stamp.

　　The townsfolk of Wuzhen gather in the town square around mid-day - talking, smoking or playing mah-jongg. They seem laidback and contented. Most of all, they seem to enjoy observing the passing parade, which provides a constant source of amusement. I started to wonder whether it was the town or the strange foreign visitors like myself that was the main attraction. Western visitors are still a rarity here.

　　Wuzhen lies in the far north-east of Zhejiang province, about 90 minutes by road from Shanghai. The name "water town" is especially apt; besides lying on the Grand Canal, the settlement is completely encircled by two rivers - the Dong Shi and a smaller tributary, which meet at a T-junction. No matter where you stand, water provides the backdrop, the raison d'être of the whole town.

　　About 250 families used to live in the old quarter of Wuzhen. However, following the "restoration" of the town, many townsfolk have been moved out to the "new" Wuzhen, an attractively landscaped but otherwise characterless apartment block 15 km down the road towards Shanghai. Those who remain are mainly the elderly and craftspeople. While I was assured that there is nothing to stop new residents moving into the old town, young people nowadays seem strangely absent.

　　The old wooden shops of Wuzhen look ageless and immovable, as though their timbers have totally defied the ravages of time. At first, one suspects that the custodians of the town have tried to cover up the decomposing processes of nature. But look more closely and you find slow rot setting in around the bases of the doorframes, and splinters breaking away from the lintels. What little restoration has been done is so inconspicuous as to be totally indistinguishable from the original.

　　All the buildings in Wuzhen are in Ming or Qing Dynasty style. One palatial establishment is the "Double Happiness" Marriage Shrine. Twin hearts are joined in a nouveau-Chinese character in gilt upon a flaming crimson background, presumably depicting the inseparability of marriage - perhaps the Chinese know something that we Westerners don't.

　　Wuzhen also has some unique attractions, including Yu Liuliang's Coin and Paper Money Exhibition. Nearby (would you believe) stands a Pawnshop Museum, as if to prove that usury is universal. (Maybe fortunately, Wuzhen has the only such establishment I've ever come across). I tried looking for a Qing Dynasty DVD player in the pawnshop, but was sadly disappointed.

　　No fewer than eight stone bridges cross the Dong Shi River, the grandest of them being the Fengyuan Double Bridge. The bridge is separated into two parts by a wooden sluice gate. Cyclists carry their bikes across the high arches of the bridges, which are designed to let boats pass underneath without difficulty.

　　Back in the main square, the elders are still hanging out. On the village stage, a performance of Peking Opera is underway. Across the square, a master puppeteer entertains visitors with a shadow-play of the type known in Java as wayang kulit. But while the Javanese version of shadow puppetry is subtle and refined, the Wuzhen style has the protagonists attacking each other with the ferocity of tigers.

　　Whether by accident or design, this town seems to have been dropped into its watery setting by a master town planner from another galaxy. A more perfect location for a settlement would be difficult to find. It is fervently to be hoped that tourism will augment rather than destroy the unique ambiance of Wuzhen.

　　篇二、烏鎮(zhèn)西柵英文導(dǎo)游詞

　　My friends, everybody! I am a tour guide, suhang, wuzhen west gate by I explain for you.

　　Now we come to is relative to the eastern gate development late west gate of the scenic area, compared with the east gate of the traditional tourism way, west gate scenic area is more of a preference for leisure vacation, so the west gate in addition to preserve the old blocks of original, modern service home stay home much more special, this is the west gate of distinguishing features. Wuzhen is a waterfront town in zhejiang province, is located in the north of tongxiang city hangjiahu plain, is located in the north of zhejiang, and neighboring jiangsu province, was at the boundary of two provinces three province and seven counties. During the spring and autumn period, wuzhen is wu jiang cross-border, Wu Guoceng troops in the case of yue, said wu xu-gou at that time. "Wuzhen", was first appeared in salty tang 13 years. Southern song dynasty jiading years, by a city river is divided into two town, black hexi to wuzhen, hedong for green town, after the liberation, a general designation of wuzhen. Given wuzhen has plenty of protection and restoration of classical Ming and qing dynasties buildings remain, wuzhen town protection after a phase of the successful operation, began to gradually more deeper to the planning of second phase of west gate, begin from 2003, start the provincial key projects wuzhen town protection of second phase (west gate scenic area), heavily invest one billion yuan to wuzhen west gate implementation of protection and development, protection scope of the project nearly 3.4 square kilometers, more than three times the east gate scenic spot. Wuzhen west gate is a kind of modern culture in accordance with the idea to build the town, apparently after elaborate design and construction. Is typical of the jiangnan water, but apparently is the result of history life and higher than life. It like jiangnan town, but apparently ideal or cultural imagination of jiangnan town. Is more beautiful, but not in those days there was a time of wuzhen. Wuzhen, wuzhen has been lost in should is a "supposed" wuzhen. Now everyone follow me in and have a look!
