黄山导游词范文(篇一)

大家好，我是你们的导游——吴导，今天就由我来给大家讲解黄山的风景名胜。提起黄山，大家一定不陌生吧，因为有一句名言是描写黄山的：“五岳归来不看山，黄山归来岳。”

大家顺着我的手往前看，前面的这座山峰叫做炼丹峰，关于炼丹峰的由来，有一个故事，大家来听一听吧：相传，我们的祖先轩辕黄帝最初见到黄山时，便被它秀丽的风景所倾倒。这儿的山峰很高很高，高出云头，这儿的山谷很徒很深，深到海底。黄帝带着术士容成子和仙人浮丘到这里游玩，他们感到这里有仙气，是炼神丹妙药的好地方，就住在山上炼起丹来。他们先在一座山峰上炼，后来又在温泉附近的山洞里炼，他们在溪水里的一块石头上炼。炼呀、磨呀、研呀，竟然把这块石头磨出了一个洞，像一口小小的石上井。最后，轩辕黄帝和容成子，浮丘公终于把神丹炼出来了。当年炼丹的那座山峰，现在叫做炼丹峰，当年炼丹的那块石头上的小洞，现在叫丹井，这就是炼丹峰的由来。

大家再向前看，这就是黄山的四绝之一——奇松。黄山延绵数百里，比比皆是松。忽悬、忽横、忽卧、忽起。“无树非松，无石不松，无松不奇。”最著名的黄山松有：迎客松、送客松、蒲团松、黑虎松、探海松、卧龙松、团结松、龙爪松、竖琴松、陪客松——这就是黄山的十大名松。以石为母，顽强的扎根于巨岩裂缝。黄山松的种子能够被风送到花岗岩的裂缝中去，以无坚不摧、有缝即入的钻劲，在那里发芽、生根、成长。

好了，黄山之旅到此结束了，如果大家喜欢黄山，欢迎下次再来。

黄山导游词范文(篇二)

在大自然的鬼斧神斧造化下， 黄山以其独特的风貌耸立在皖南的山区。它如一幅天然的画卷，一首无声的诗。它广积华山的险峻、岱岳之雄伟、衡岳之烟云、匡庐之瀑布，是中国名山中一颗明珠。我国明代著名的旅行家徐霞客曾评价黄山：“五岳归来不看山，黄山归来不看岳。”北京人民大会堂客厅内亦悬挂一幅黄山迎客松;国画大师刘海粟曾于1988年实现了十登黄山的宿愿，可见黄山是以多么瑰丽的雄姿吸引天下的游人。特别是近几年，四海佳宾，五洲游客都羡慕黄山的美名;千里迢迢的辗转逗留，共赏这座值得中华儿女骄傲的天下名山。

黄山，位于中国安徽省的南部，属中国南岭山脉的其中一部分，全山面积约在1200平方公里。黄山山系中段，是黄山的精华部分，也就我们要游览的黄山风景区，面积约154平方公里。它在黄山市境内，南邻歙县、徽州区、休宁县和黟县，北连黄山区;这五个县、区也都属于黄山市管辖。

黄山在中国唐代以前叫黟山，黟是黑样子，因为山上岩石多青黑青黑的，古人就给它起这样一名字。传说咱们中华族的先祖轩辕黄帝在完成中原统一在业、开创中华文明之后，来到这里采药炼丹，在温泉里洗澡，因而得道仙。唐朝著名的皇帝明皇李隆基非常相信这个说法，就在天宝六年(747年)下了一道诏书，将黟山改名黄山。意思是，这座山是黄帝的山。从那以后，黄山这个名字就一直到现在。

莲花峰是华东地区第一高峰，峻峭高耸、气势宏伟、主峰突兀、小峰簇拥，宛若一朵盛开的莲花姐姐。好像对我说：“你好，朋友们，你们快来玩吧。”

莲花峰还有一个传说：相传很久以前，观音大士下凡巡视。观音大士见这里山奇水秀，又有很多客人，不想回天宫，天帝就派天兵捉拿观音大士。观音把天兵打得弃甲而逃。天帝把她赶出天宫，观音索性把莲花宝座化为莲花峰。

玉屏峰，海拔1716米。若一个玉雕屏障，而且里陡外滑。迎客松位于玉屏峰，高达十米，年龄已有800年，是黄山的代表和象征。恰似一位主人，伸出一支手臂欢迎客人，好像对我们说：“好朋友们，你们快来黄山游玩吧！”这样的好景，你们快来照相吧！

大家好，我叫徐向宇，大家可以叫我小徐或徐导，很高兴担任这次黄山之旅的导游，大家要记住不要乱涂乱画，不要乱扔垃圾，要跟紧我。现在我们开始出发了。

看，这就是“黄山四绝”中第一绝：奇松。黄山延绵数百里，千峰万壑，比比皆是。最著名的黄山松有：迎客松、送客松、蒲团松、黑虎松、探海松、卧龙松、团结松、龙爪松、竖琴松、陪客松——这就是黄山的十大名松。下一个景点是“四绝”之二，请游客们跟我走，登山途中，请大家注意安全。

游客们请止步，请大家往我身后看，那些巨石就是“四绝”之二：怪石。黄山“四绝”之中的怪石，以奇取胜，以多著称，已被命名的怪石有120多处。大家顺我的手指向那边看，那就是“猴子观海”，远看去就是一个猴子在向下观望云海。除了“猴子观海”还有“仙桃石”、“仙人指路”、“金鸡叫天都”等奇石。

游客们，我们往那看，那里便是“四绝”之三，云海。自古黄山云成海，黄山是云雾之乡，以峰为体，以云为衣。黄山的云海冬季最为壮观，人们为云海美景而奔波，称为“赶海”。

我们再来看这“四绝”之四：温泉。温泉(古称汤泉)，源出海拨850米的紫云峰，可饮可浴，传说轩辕皇帝就是在此沐浴七七四十九日得返老还童，羽化飞天的。

大殿就是李冰殿。大家知道，战国时期是一个产生杰出人物的时代。比如墨家墨子，法家的韩非子，儒家的孟子等等。李冰也是这个时代的杰出人物，诸子百家也应有水利家的一席之地。李冰是一名政治家，更是一名杰出的水利科学家。李冰是先秦时期的蜀郡守，相当于现在四川省省长的职位，但蜀郡当时所管辖的区域比现在的四川要小。李冰一方面因为一心为民办实事，多才能干，治蜀有方，受到秦王的信任;另一方面，他信任群众，依靠群众，用比较现代的话来说，便是“走群众路线”，所以得到广大人民群众的拥护和爱戴。只有处理好对上和对下的关系，他才能任职四十年，办了许多实事造福于民，所以承认李冰是一位伟大水利专家的同时，我们必须得承认，他也是一位杰出的政治家。在这尊塑像中，李冰儒雅仁厚、勤于政务的风貌得到了淋漓尽致的展示。

李冰殿是一座四合院式建筑，殿的对面是戏楼。戏楼顾名思义就是唱戏的地方，不过这戏不是唱给凡人看的，而是唱给已被供奉为川主神的李冰看的。每年的农历六月二十四这天，是二王庙庙会，明清时代，每到这一天，这里都要唱戏，人们赶庙会敬神、祈福、看戏，甚为热闹。1992年后，赶庙会的风俗又重新恢复。

Oxford is a unique and historic institution.

As the oldest English-speaking university in the world, it lays claim to eight centuries of continuous existence.

There is no clear date of foundation, but teaching existed at Oxford in some form in 1096 and developed rapidly from 1167, when Henry II banned English students from attending the University of Paris.

In 1188, the historian, Gerald of Wales, gave a public reading to the assembled Oxford dons and in 1190 the arrival of Emo of Friesland, the first known overseas student, initiated the University's tradition of international scholarship.

By 1201, the University was headed by a magister scolarum Oxonie, on whom the title of Chancellor was conferred in 1214, and in 1231 the masters were recognized as a uniuersitas or corporation.

In the 13th century, rioting between town and gown (students and townspeople) hastened the establishment of primitive halls of residence.

These were succeeded by the first of xford's colleges or endowed houses whose architectural splendour, together with the University's libraries and museums, give the city its unique character.

University, Balliol and Merton Colleges, established between 1249 and 1264, were the oldest.

Less than a century later, Oxford had achieved eminence above every other seat of learning, and won the praises of popes, kings and sages by virtue of its antiquity, curriculum, doctrine and privileges.

In 1355, Edward III paid tribute to the University for its invaluable contribution to learning; he also commented on the services rendered to the state by distinguished Oxford graduates.

Oxford early on became a centre for lively controversy, with scholars involved in religious and political disputes.

John Wyclif, a 14th-century Master of Balliol, campaigned for a bible in the vernacular, against the wishes of the papacy.

In 1530, Henry VIII forced the University to accept his divorce from Catherine of Aragon.

During the Reformation in the 16th century, the Anglican churchmen Cranmer, Latimer and Ridley were tried for heresy and burnt at the stake in Oxford.

The University was Royalist in the Civil War, and Charles I held a counter-Parliament in Convocation House.

In the late 17th century, the Oxford philosopher John Locke, suspected of treason, was forced to flee the country.

The 18th century, when Oxford was said to have forsaken port for politics, was also an era of scientific discovery and religious revival.

Edmund Halley, Professor of Geometry, predicted the return of the comet that bears his name; John and Charles Wesley's prayer meetings laid the foundations of the Methodist Society.

The University assumed a leading role in the Victorian era.

The Oxford Movement, led by John Henry Newman, broke from the Anglican Church in the 1840s.

Twenty years later, the new University Museum was the site of a famous debate between Thomas Huxley, the champion of evolution, and Bishop Wilberforce.

From 1878, academic halls were established for women, who became members of the University in 1920.

Since 1974, all but one of Oxford's 39 colleges have changed their statutes to admit both men and women.

St Hilda's remains the only women's college.

In the years since the war, Oxford has added to its humanistic core a major new research capacity in the natural and applied sciences, including medicine.

In so doing, it has enhanced and strengthened its traditional role as a focus for learning and a forum for intellectual debate.

StudentsThe University of Oxford's total student population numbers just over 16,100 (students in residence, 1998-9).

Almost a quarter of these students are from overseas, including the countries of the European Union.

More than 130 nationalities are represented among our student body.

Almost 5,000 students are engaged in postgraduate work.

Of these, around 3,000 are working in the arts and humanities.

StaffOxford's current academic community includes 76 Fellows of the Royal Society and 105 Fellows of the British Academy.

A further 97 Emeritus and Honorary College Fellows are also Fellows of the British Academy, and 142 Emeritus and Honorary College Fellows are Fellows of the Royal Society.

Good morning! Ladies and gentlemen:

Today we will go and visit the Nanyue Temple, Nanyue Temple is situated on the northern tip of Nanyue Township and at the southern foot of Chidi Peak. In a layout of nine rows, It is the largest and best-preserved ancient palatial architectural complex of south China. Magnificent and splendid with resplendent upturned eaves. Inside the east in parallel to eight Buddhist palaces on the west, It is indeed a wonder in the history of religion that Taoism. Buddhism and Confucian culture can co-exist within a single temple.

The exact time of the construction of Nanyue Temple is unknown. It existed asearly as in the Qin and Han Dynastis. Originally Located on the summit of Zhurong Peak, The temple was later moved to the mountain foot to facilitate the religious activities. The beginning of the Tang Dynasty witnessed the formal construction of the Heavenly Lord Huo"s Temple" the "Heavenly Master Temple". So as to enshrine and worship the Gods of the five sacred mountains, During the Song Dynasty the immortal of the Hengshan Mountain was revered as the "Heavenly Master Zhaosheng",as a result the temple was gradually expanded and enlarged. Since the Tang Dynasty Nanyue Temple had beed subject to six fires and 16reconstructions all through the Song. Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties. In the 8th year of Emperor Guangxu"s reign in the Qing Dynasty (1882 ), the Imperial Court ordered the rbuilding of Nanyue Temple. Which had been ruined by lightning, The project was imitative.

The first row is Lingxing Gate. Two gilded Chinese characters "Mountain Temple" are shining on the white marble at the top of the gate.

Its fa?ade facing the main palace, the stage is the place where people hold religious activities and perform local operas during pilgrimage.

The pebble path under the Kuixing Tower leads to the third row-Main Chuan Gate. East and West Gates. The gateway is made of gray bricks with an awesome depth and height of 15 metres.

Sweeet osmanthus ahead of the tower submerges the building with its refreshing scent when it blossoms every autumn.

The seventh row is the Main Palace. Surrounded by towering old trees. Camphor trees planted in the Song Dynasty and cypress in the Ming Dynasty compete with each other in setting off the beauty of the upturned double-roofs and the splendour of the palace. Adding tremendous awe to the Main Palac. As it stands metres, its girandeur rivals that of the Palace of supreme Harmony in the Forbidden City in Beijing. Inside the palace there are 72 stone pilliars, standing for the 72 peaks on the Hengshan Mountain. The two huge pillars upholding the main roofs were cut out of a whole granite. Each weighing 14 tons.
