Lijiang River in Guilin
(桂林漓江)
Hello! Ladies and gentlemen!Now, we reach Guangxis most famous scenic spot and hottest tourist destination. I hope youll enjoy it and have a chance to relax here.
Now, let me introduce Guilins water system to you. It consists of two rivers and four lakes. Two rivers are the Lijiang and Taohua rivers, while the four lakes are Ronghu, Shanhu, Guihu, and Mulong Lakes. Together these bodies of water form the Guilin Water Systems Dream Tour. This tour and construction of the water system began during the Tang Dynasty and was popular in Song Dynasty. During these periods, there were many lakes and ponds scattered throughout Guilin. The citys water system was thus highly developed. People could get to and enjoy all the well-known scenic spots by a small boat.
However, with the passage of time, the two rivers and four lakeswere cut off from one another and Guilins Water System became fragmented and the water quality worsened. In 1998, the Municipal Party Committee and the Municipal Administration carried out the Two Rivers and Four Lakesproject. This involved connecting the rivers and lakes, cleaning out their water, particularly removing the silt and dirt, drawing water into lakes, making the hills and surrounding landscape greener, building the roads and bridges, and improving the cultural attractions. This project has not only rebuilt and expanded Guilins old water system, but also improved the ecological environment of the central city and boosted its appearance and quality of life. For example, pleasure boats can once again be seen sailing on the waters within the city. This recreational landscape is one of the best in China and can be compared with other famous so-called water cities, including Venice and Amsterdam with their canals and Paris with its Seine River.
As you can see, Lijiang River is Guilins quintessential landscape. Its water quality is also better than that of most Chinese rivers that flow through major cities. It is part of the Pearl River system and originates from the first peaks of southern China， the Maoer Mountain. The 83-kilometer waterway from Guilin to Yangshuo is known as the golden waterway and is a must see for Chinese and foreign tourists visiting Guilin. Throughout human history numerous men of letters from very different countries have written memorable prose regarding the Lijiang River and its surrounding scenerys enchanting beauty. The Tang Dynasty poet, Han Yu, once praised the picturesque and poetic Lijiang River by writing that the river is like a blue silk ribbon and the hills are like green jade hairpins .
From Guilin to Yangshuo, the prominent landforms are karst hoodoo peak clusters. The river flows around these mountains to form valleys. The scenery is the best in Caoping, Yangdi and Xingping. There are beautiful scenes of Nine Horses Fresco Hill, Yellow Cloth Reflection, and Half Side Ferry. The Lijiang landscapes appearance varies at different times of the year, from different viewpoints, and during different climates. On sunny days, the sky and river are a vast bright green world with no bounds between them; the thousand peaks and hills will provide a visual feast for your eyes. And on foggy days, the water is wreathed in mist, with the fog constantly disappearing and reappearing. On moonlit nights, the hills are clear as if theyve been washed, while the river and its ripples are so green.
In the river section in Guilin, the valley is open, famous hills like Wave-Taming, Piled Silk, Elephant, Tunnel, and Pagoda Hills stand erect from the ground, and the cliffs are so steep that they seem to have been cut by a sword. So one of Lijiangs major features is indeed green hills, clear water, fantastic caves and charming rocks。 Every scene of the hundred-mile Lijiang River is a typical Chinese ink painting.
女士们、先生们，大家好!现在我们来到了最负盛名的漓江风景区。漓江是时下一个很热门的旅游目的地，我希望大家里能够得到充分的放松。能喜欢这里的风景，在这
首先，让我介绍一下桂林的水系。桂林水系由两江四湖组成。两江四湖是指由漓江、桃花江与溶湖、杉湖、桂湖、木龙湖所构成的环城水系。桂林的水上游览兴于唐，盛于宋，当时的桂林城湖塘密布，水系发达，乘一叶小舟就可以尽览城中诸多的风景名胜。
但是随着时代变迁，两江四湖水道隔断，环城水系支离破碎，水质恶化。1998年，广西市委、市政府实施了两江四湖工程，通过连江接湖、显山露水、清淤截污、引水入湖、修路架桥、绿化美化、文化建设等工程，不仅恢复、拓展了桂林的古环城水系，改善了市中心的生态环境，提高了城市的档次与品位，而且游船重新进入了市区水域，形成了能与威尼斯水城、巴黎塞纳河以及阿姆斯特丹运河相媲美的独特的市区水上游景观，堪称中国一绝。
大家都知道，漓江是桂林山水的精华，是中国流经城市水质最好的河流之一，属珠江水系，发源于华南第一峰猫儿山。从桂林到阳朔约83公里的水程，被称为黄金水道，是中外游客必游的桂林景区。古今中外，不知多少文人骚客为漓江的绮丽风光写下了脍炙人口的优美诗文。唐代大诗人韩愈曾以江作青罗带，山如碧玉簪的诗句来赞美这条如诗似画的漓江。
桂林至阳朔，是岩溶峰林峰丛地貌，河流依山而转，形成峡谷，尤以草坪、杨堤、兴坪为佳，有九马画山、黄布倒影、半边渡等美景。漓江景观因时、因角度、因气候不同而变化。晴朗天时，上下天光一碧万顷，千峦百嶂尽收眼底。烟雨之日，岚雾缭绕若隐若现，若断若续。明月之夜，群峰如洗，江波如练。
漓江桂林段，河谷开阔，两岸名山如伏波山、叠彩山、象山、穿山、塔山平地拔起，四壁如削。漓江的一大特点是山青、水秀、洞奇、石美。百里漓江的每一处景致，都是一幅典型的中国水墨画。
