The Great Wall, symbolizing China’s ancient civilization, is one of the most famous and grand construction wonders in the world. The building of the Great Wall first began in the seventh century BC. The first section of wall was built by the Qi Kingdom and the Chu Kingdom. In Chinese history, there are three climaxes of building the Great Wall. They were in the Qin, Han and Ming dynasties. The sections of the wall began to be called the Great Wall in the time of Qin Shihuang. In order to ward off harassment by the Huns and for the use of further defensive projects, many sections were linked up and expanded and finally it was extended into a Great Wall. The total length of the Great Wall was over 5,000 kilometers long, so in Chinese, we call it “Wan Li Chang Cheng. ” The Qin Great Wall started from Lintao, Gansu Province in the west and ended in Liaodong, Liaoning Province in the east. The second climax of building the Great Wall was in Han Dynasty. In order to ward off the Huns as well as to protect the Silk Road, the Great Wall in Han Dynasty extended towards the west for another 5,000 kilometers long to the Lop Nur Lake in today’s Xinjiang . The Han Great wall started from the Liaodong Peninsula in the east and ended at the foot of the Tianshan Mountain in Xinjiang, with a total length of 10,000 kilometers. The last large-scale project on the Great Wall was carried out in the Ming Dynasty. In order to ward off the harassment of the remaining forces of the Yuan and the newly raised ethnic tribe of “Nu Zhen”, the Great wall had been built. The total length of the Ming Great Wall was more than 7,000 kilometers from Yalu River in Liaoning Province in the east, to Jiayuguan Pass in Gansu Province in the west. It passes nine cities, provinces and autonomous regions. The functions of the Great Wall in Chinese history are in four aspects, they are in military, economy, perfect harmony of various nationalities and the friendship between Asians and Europeans.
The structures of the Great Wall are the beacon tower and watch tower. Beacon towers were built on both sides of the Wall at the commanding points, which were at the top of the mountains or the twists and turns for making warning signals. Whenever the enemy was sighted, fires were lit on the top of the beacon tower at night, and the smoke was made during the daytime. Watch towers were built at regular intervals on the Great Wall itself for watching over the invading enemy. A watch tower was usually two stories high, and the defense soldiers lived inside. The ground floor was used for storing weapons and had a number of windows for archers. The upper floor had battlements, peep holes and apertures for archers. In the middle of the tower there were small living quarters for the defense soldiers. The watch towers were not only used by the defending troops to take shelter from the wind, rain and heat, but also to fight and check the enemy’s advance, and store arms and ammunition.
Next I’m very glad to introduce the Badaling section. It was listed as an important historical monument under special preservation by the Chinese government in 1961 and was listed by the UNESCO as one of the world heritage sites in 1987. The Badaling Great Wall is about 75 kilometers northwest of Beijing, and it is the best preserved part of the Great Wall. Bada means “convenient transportation to all directions. ”The Great Wall at Badaling average 7.8 meters high, 6.5 meters wide at its base, and 5.8 meters on the top, wide enough for five horses or ten soldiers walking abreast on the wall. It has one side with battlements and the parapet is on the other side. The side with the battlements is about 2 meters high, and the parapet is one meter high. The outer side of the Wall is topped with crenellated battlements, and a square sized hole below for shooting arrows and also for keeping a watch over the enemy. The parapet is on the inner side.
Juyongguan Pass is located 50 kilometers northwest of downtown Beijng. There was a 20-kilomere-long valley called “Guangou Valley” from south to north, with 4 passes along the valley. They were of great strategic importance in defending the national capital, Juyongguan Pass is one of them.
Inside Juyong Pass there is an ancient marble platform known as “Cloud Terrace”. It was built in Yuan Dynasty. There used to be three Tibetan style pagodas built on the terrace with a road passing under it from north to south. Later, when the pagodas were destroyed, a temple was built. However, the temple was burnt down in a fire in the early years of the Qing Dynasty, so only the terrace remained. The Cloud Terrace is 9.5 meters high, 26.8 meters from east to west, 17.6 meters from north to south at the base, and it narrows towards the top. In the middle edge of the archway, there is a carving of a “golden winged bird” with the carvings of several animals. Inside the arched passage, there are carved in relief Buddhist images on the wall. The images of the Four Heavenly Kings, the Buddha of Ten Directions and 1,000 Buddha statues were all carved on the wall.
Today on the way to Badaling Great Wall, you can see a railway running by the Badaling Expressway. It is well-known at the Beijing-Zhangjiakou Railway. It was the first railway designed and constructed by Chinese itself. Its chief designer was Zhan Tianyou.

长城导游词 第4篇
小伙伴们，我叫左又文，是一个活泼开朗的小女孩儿，来自江苏省苏州市工业园区。我喜欢扎马尾辫，可是总有一绺头发弄不平；一双水汪汪的大眼睛；两腮鼓鼓的，好像塞着两个小笼包。我的爱好非常广泛，有画画、弹钢琴、看书、写作……我希望结交更多的朋友，一起分享成长过程中的快乐。你们愿意和我交朋友吗？我的QQ号是1259280916，可以联系我哦。
尊敬的游客朋友们：
大家早上好！我叫丁思语，是长城旅行社的导游员，欢迎各位到长城游玩。我先向大家介绍一下长城的概况。
长城在北京的北面，始建于春秋战国时期。那时，各诸侯国为了防御他国入侵，都在本国境内地势险要的地方修筑长城。公元前221年，秦始皇灭了六国，建立了统一的中央集权国家。为了巩固统治，秦始皇征集了大量的民工，把燕赵等国的长城连成一体，修成了名扬天下的万里长城。
据国家文物局调查认定，中国历代长城总长度达21196千米，堪称人类历史上最宏伟的建筑之一。为了保护我们的古长城，我在此提几点要求：一、不要随意乱扔垃圾；二、不要在城墙上乱写乱画；三、不要破坏文物。
游客朋友们，现在你们可以拍照留念了。大家自由活动二十分钟，请注意安全。
（指导老师 潘庸宁）
[小编辑点评]
丁思语还真有点儿导游的范儿，你看她那侃侃而谈的样儿，我都想加入到游客队伍中去了。她在向游客介绍清楚长城的概况及悠久历史的同时，也向游客提出了注意事项，还真是一名称职的小导游呢！

北京长城英文导游词 第5篇
The Great Wall, like the pyramids of Egypt, the Taj Mahal(1)in India and the Hanging Garden of Babylon(2), is one of the great wonders of the world.Starting out in the east on the banks of the Yalu River in Liaoning province, the Wall stretches westwards for 12,700 kilometers to Jiayuguan in the Gobi desert, thus known as the Ten Thousand Li Wall in China.The Wall climbs up and down, twists and turns along the ridges of the Yanshan and Yinshan Mountain Chains through five provinces-Liaoning, Hebei, Shanxi, Shaanxi, and Gansu--and two autonomous regions--Ningxia and Inner Mongolia, binding the northern China together.Historical records trace the construction of the origin of the Wall to defensive fortification back to the year 656 B.C.during the reign of King Cheng of the States of Chu.Its construction continued throughout the Warring States period in the fifth Century B.C.when ducal states Yan, Zhao, Wei, and Qin were frequently plundered by the nomadic peoples living north of the Yinshan and Yanshan mountain ranges.Walls, then, were built separately by these ducal states to ward off such harassments.Later in 221 B.C., when Qin conquered the other states and unified China, Emperor Qinshihuang ordered the connection of these individual walls and further extensions to form the basis of the present great wall.As a matter of fact, a separate outer wall was constructed north of the Yinshan range in the Han Dynasty(206 BC--1644 BC.), which went to ruin through years of neglect.In the many intervening centuries, succeeding dynasties rebuilt parts of the Wall.The most extensive reinforcements and renovations were carried out in the Ming Dynasty(1368--1644)when altogether 18 lengthy stretches were reinforced with bricks and rocks.it is mostly the Ming Dynasty Wall that visitors see today.The Great Wall is divided into two sections, the east and west, with Shanxi province as the dividing line.The west part is a rammed earth construction, about 5.3 meters high on average.In the eastern part, the core of the Wall is rammed earth as well, but the outer shell is reinforced with bricks and rocks.The most imposing and best preserved sections of the Great Wall are at Badaling and Mutianyu, not far from Beijing and both are open to visitors.The Wall of those sections is 7.8 meters high and 6.5 meters wide at its base, narrowing to 5.8 meters on the ramparts, wide enough for five horses to gallop abreast.There are ramparts, embrasures, peep-holes and apertures for archers on the top, besides gutters with gargoyles to drain rain-water off the parapet walk.Two-storied watch-towers are built at approximately 400-meters internals.The top stories of the watch-tower were designed for observing enemy movements, while the first was used for storing grain, fodder, military equipment and gunpowder as well as for quartering garrison soldiers.The highest watch-tower at Badaling standing on a hill-top, is reached only after a steep climb, like “climbing a ladder to heaven”.The view from the top is rewarding, hoverer.The Wall follows the contour of mountains that rise one behind the other until they finally fade and merge with distant haze.A signal system formerly existed that served to communicate military information to the dynastic capital.This consisted of beacon towers on the Wall itself and on mountain tops within sight of the Wall.At the approach of enemy troops, smoke signals gave the alarm from the beacon towers in the daytime and bonfire did this at night.Emergency signals could be relayed to the capital from distant places within a few hour long before the invention of anything like modern communications.There stand 14 major passes(Guan, in Chinese)at places of strategic importance along the Great Wall, the most important being Shanghaiguan and Jiayuguan.Yet the most impressive one is Juyongguan, about 50 kilometers northwest of Beijing.Known as “Tian Xia Di YI Guan”(The First pass Under Heaven), Shanghaiguan pass is situated between two sheer cliffs forming a neck connecting north China with the northeast.It had been, therefore, a key junction contested by all strategists and many famous battles were fought here.It was the gate of Shanghaiguan that the Ming general Wu Sangui opened to the Manchu army to suppress the peasant rebellion led by Li Zicheng and so surrendered the whole Ming empire to the Manchus, leading to the foundation of the Qing Dynasty.(1644-1911)Jiayuguan pass was not so much as the “Strategic pass Under the Heaven” as an important communication center in Chinese history.Cleft between the snow-capped Qilian Mountains and the rolling Mazong Mountains, it was on the ancient Silk Road.Zhang Qian, the first envoy of Emperor Wu Di of the Western Han dynasty(206 B.C-24 A.D), crossed it on his journey to the western regions.Later, silk flowed to the west through this pass too.The gate-tower of Jiayuguan is an attractive building of excellent workmanship.It has an inner city and an outer city, the former square in shape and surrounded by a wall 11.7 meters high and 730 meters in circumference.It has two gates, an eastern one and a western one.On each gate sits a tower facing each other.the four corners of the wall are occupied by four watch towers, one for each.Juyongguan, a gateway to ancient Beijing from Inner Mongolia, was built in a 15-kilometer long ravine flanked by mountains.The cavalrymen of Genghis Khan swept through it in the 13th century.At the center of the pass is a white marble platform named the Cloud terrace, which was called the Crossing-Street Dagoba, since its narrow arch spanned the main street of the pass and on the top of the terrace there used to be three stone dagobas, built in the Yuan Daynasty(1206-1368).At the bottom of the terrace is a half-octagonal arch gateway, interesting for its wealth of detail: it is decorated with splendid images of Buddha and four celestial guardians carved on the walls.The vividness of their expressions is matched by the exquisite workmanship.such grandiose relics works, with several stones pieced together, are rarely seen in ancient Chinese carving.The gate jambs bear a multi-lingual Buddhist sutra, carved some 600 years ago in Sanskrit(3), Tibetan, Mongolian, Uigur(4), Han Chinese and the language of Western Xia.Undoubtedly, they are valuable to the study of Buddhism and ancient languages.As a cultural heritage, the Wall belongs not only to China but to the world.The Venice charter says: “Historical and cultural architecture not only includes the individual architectural works, but also the urban or rural environment that witnessed certain civilizations, significant social developments or historical events.” The Great Wall is the largest of such historical and cultural architecture, and that is why it continues to be so attractive to people all over the world.In 1987, the Wall was listed by UNESCO as a world cultural heritage site.Notes:1.the Taj Mahal in India 印度的泰姬陵2.the Hanging Garden of Babylon 巴比伦的空中花园3.Sanskrit 梵语4.Uigur 维吾尔语

Lots of beautiful legends and stories about the Great Wall took place following along the construction， and since that time these stories have spread around the country. Those that happened during construction are abundant， such as Meng Jiangnu‘s story and the legend of the Jiayuguan Pass. Meng Jiangnu‘s story is the most famous and widely spread of all the legends about the Great Wall. The story happened during the Qin Dynasty (221BC-206BC). It tells of how Meng Jiangnu‘s bitter weeping made a section of the Great Wall collapse. Meng Jiangnu‘s husband Fan Qiliang was caught by federal officials and sent to build the Great Wall. Meng Jiangnu heard nothing from him after his departure， so she set out to look for him. Unfortunately， by the time she reached the great wall， she discovered that her husband had already died. Hearing the bad news， she cried her heart out. Her howl caused the collapse of a part of the Great Wall. This story indicates that the Great Wall is the production of tens of thousands of Chinese commoners.
Another legend about the Jiayuguan Patells of a workman named Yi Kaizhan in the Ming Dynasty (1368BC-1644BC) who was proficient in arithmetic. He calculated that it would need 99，999 bricks to build the Jiayuguan Pass. The supervisor did not believe him and said if they miscalculated by even one brick， then all the workmen would be punished to do hard work for three years. After the completion of the project， one brick was left behind the Xiwong city gate. The supervisor was happy at the sight of the brick and ready to punish them. However Yi Kaizhan said with deliberation that the brick was put there by a supernatural being to fix the wall. A tiny move would cause the collapse of the wall. Therefore the brick was kept there and never moved. It can still be found there today on the tower of the Jiayuguan Pass.
