The Great Wall of China
The Great Wall of China is called the "Ten thousand Ii Great Wall" in Chinese。 In fact, it' s more than 6 000 kilometres long。
It winds its way from west to east, across deserts, over mountains, through valleys till at last it reaches the sea。 It is one of the wonders of the world。
The Great Wall has a history of over twenty centuries。 The first part of it was built during the Spring and Autumn Period。
During the Warring States Period, more walls were put up to defend the borders of the different kingdoms。 It was during the Qin Dynasty that the kingdom of Qin united the dif ferent parts into one empire。
To keep the enemy out of his empire, Emperor Qin Shi Huang had all the walls joined up。 Thus, the Great Wall came into being。
The Great Wall is wide enough at the top for five horses or ten men to walk side by side。 Along the wall are watchtowers, where soldiers used to keep watch。
Fires were lit on the the towers as a warning when the enemy came。
It was very difficult to build such a wall in the ancient days without any modern machines。
All the work was done by hand。 Thousands of men died and were buried under the wall they built。 The Great Wall was made not only of stone and earth, but of the flesh and blood of millions of men。
Today the Great Wall has become a place of interest not only to the Chinese but to people from all over the world。 Many of them have come to know the famous Chinese saying: "He who does not reach the Great Wall is not a true man。

长城是世界的奇迹，中国的骄傲，中国人对它了解甚多，但用英语将它描述出来恐非易事。此文描述较为详细，是非常好的背景资料。
[参考译文]
中国的长城
中国的长城汉语中常叫作“万里长城”。实际上它长 6 ooo多公里。它从西到东，穿过沙漠，越过高山，跨过深谷，蜿蜒而行，最后直到海边。
它是世界上的奇观之一。
长城有两千多年的历史。最早是在春秋时期开始修筑的。战国时期，各诸候国为了保卫自己的边境，分别修筑了更多的城墙。在秦朝时，秦国把各诸侯国统一起来，成为一个帝国。为了御敌于国门之外，秦始皇令人把所有的城墙连接起来。这样，长城就形成了。
长城上面很宽，足够五匹马或10个人并排而行。沿城墙有许多烽火台，过去常有士兵驻守。敌人来时，就点燃烽火，以通知其他士兵。
没有任何现代机器，要修筑这样一座长城是非常困难的。所有的工作都不得不用手来完成。成千上万的人死了，被埋在自己修建的城墙下面。
长城不仅是用石头和土筑成的，而且也是用数以百万计的人的血肉筑成的。
今天，长城不仅对中国人，而且对来自全世界各地的人们来说都是一处名胜。其中许多人都已知道这句中国名言：“不到长城非好汉”。
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。

In the year 1893, James Hilton described an eternally peaceful and quiet place among mountains in the East—— "Shangri-La" in one of his novels for the first time。
In the novel "Lost Horizon", an English diplomat Conway and his brother Gorge scattered the English citizens and helped them leave the dangerous region。
On their way home,their plane washijackedand fell down into the mountain in the Tibetan region。 Some lucky survivors were taken to Shangri-la where Conway found lots of fantastic things in such a state founded nearly 200 years ago, in which the local people lived up to more than one hundred years old and lived peacefully and harmoniously with the other people, animals and everything here。
The place was called "Shangri-La" by the local folks。
James Hilton located "Shangri-La" in a mysterious valley which was surrounded by snowcapped mountains; near where there were snow-clad peaks, blue lakes, broad grassy marshlands, and lamaseries, Buddhist nunneries, mosques, Catholic Church, the human beings and the nature were in perfect harmony, several religions and varies of nationalities exited at the same time; the temples looked splendid in green and golden; though people contacted the outer world by caravan for a long time, many foreign experts and scholars had come here to investigate and remained much relics……
Obviously, that is not only a beautiful scenery, but also a kind of artistic conception。
With the novel and the film coming out, Shangri-La became very famous in western countries。 Later, a Chinese named Guo Huonian used the name of this place and set up "Shangri-La" Hotel Group which has become one of the most successful hotel group in the world。
At the same time, people didn’t give up looking for the legendary Shangri-La。 Up to the end of this century, they finally have found—— After inspecting and proving on many aspects, people found that Diqing Prefecture, the only Tibetan region in Yunnan, China, has striking similarity with what’s described in the tale regarding either on natural scenery or people’s way of living。

二、石林旅游景点英语介绍怎么写？
The Stone Forest lies about 80 miles to the southeast of Kunming。 A geological phenomenon, the Stone Forest was a vast expanse of sea during the Paleozoic era——some 270 million years ago。
Later, the movement of tectonic plates altered the earth’s crust, causing the sea to recede and its limestone bottom to appear, thereby forming land。
Due to the constant seeping ofrain through the cracks in the limestone, some of the stone formation dissolved and the fissures broadened, producing a group of great sculptures of different shapes, all molded by nature。
In the midst of the forest, there is a huge rock screen on which two words——Stone Forest——are engraved in official script (in a calligraphic style typical of the Han Dynasty, 206 B。
C。-220 A。D。)。 Among the scenic sights is the "Sword Peak Pond" with jadeite-colored water so clear that one can see the bottom of the pond。
Other astonishing sights include "Figure of Ashima," "Shi Ba Xiang Song" (its name originating in the Chinese love story, "Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai"), and "Lotus Peak。
The splendor of the Stone Forest is enhanced by the local customs of the native Sani people (who are part of the Yi minority)。
Sani people are industrious and hospitable——and unconstrained。 Sani women are expert at spinning, weaving, and embroidering。
They like to wear rainbow-colored headgear and bright-colored dresses。 The young people especially are very good singers and dancers。
Every day at sunset, under the moonlight, boys and girls gather at the village platform。 While the boys play the three-stringed plucked instruments, the girls clap their hands and dance the strong-rhythmed traditional "A’Xi (Ah-shi) Dance in the Moon" with great enthusiasm。
If you happen to witness the event, you will be invited to join in the festivity。
Note that every lunar year, on June 24th, the Sani people celebrate their national festival——the Torch Festival。
On that day, the entire Stone Forest is permeated with a celebratory atmosphere。 There are traditional performances of wrestling and bull-fighting。
Finally, when the land is enveloped in the curtain of night, the young men (holding torches in their hands) run after the young women to propose marriage in the light of colored lanterns。
Notes:
1。 Stone Forest 石林
2。 Sword Peak Pond 剑峰池
3。 Figure of Ashima 阿诗玛像
4。 Lotus Peak 莲花峰。
