　　Dear friends

　　Hello, everyone. I'm the tour guide of __ travel agency. I'd like tointroduce the scenic spots and folk customs of Zhangjiajie tourism, Fenghuangancient city, Changsha, Shaoshan and other places. It is said that Phoenix, thegod bird of the kingdom of Heaven (ancient India), after reaching the age of500, set incense wood on fire and revived from the ashes. It is delicious and nolonger dies. This bird is Phoenix, the king of birds in China. There is amountain in the southwest of Fenghuang that looks like a flying phoenix, so itis named after it. Fenghuang, formerly known as Zhengan, is located in thesouthwest of our state, with a total area of more than 1700 square kilometersand a population of 370000. It is a county inhabited by Miao and Tujia ethnicminorities. Fenghuang has a long history. During the spring and Autumn periodand Warring States period, it belonged to Chu, Qin to Qianzhong County, WeiyangCounty in Tang Dynasty, Wuzhai chief executive department in Yuan and MingDynasty, and qingtongting, Zhen and Daofu. It became the military and politicalcenter of Western Hunan. Fenghuang's tourism resources are mainly rich inhistory and culture. The special history here has left many historic sites, andthe special historical culture has shaped a group of celebrities.

　　Phoenix, with its beautiful scenery and numerous places of interest, hasalways been a popular tourist attraction. Since ancient times, there have beeneight scenic spots, such as Dongling Yinghui, Nanhua Diecui, Longtan Yuhuo,Shansi morning bell, Qifeng Tingxiu, Xiqiao night moon, Lanjing Qiaoge and fangeHuitao. It has the world-famous style of the ancient city, the most completestone city left by the Tang Dynasty - huangsiqiao, the historical witness of theisolation between Miao and Han, the border wall of Miao, the great wall ofsouthern China, and the Qiliang cave, which is known as the king of Huaxia cave.Fenghuang ancient city is located on the Bank of Tuojiang River, surrounded bymountains and magnificent passes. The green Tuojiang River meanders under theancient city wall. The verdant foothills of Nanhua mountain reflect the centerof the river. There are fishing boats and pleasure boats in the river. There arestilts on the cliff, row upon row. The girls washing clothes with hammers besidethe dock are laughing. The east gate and the north gate by the Tuojiang Riverare magnificent. The streets paved with bluestone slabs extend in alldirections. In the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the houses with wooden structurewere well arranged. All of these make the ancient city like a Chinese landscapepainting with thick ink and light color. After visiting Phoenix, New Zealandfriend Louis Ailey said that there are two most beautiful small cities in China:Changting in Fujian and Fenghuang in Hunan.

　　The beauty of Phoenix lies not only in its natural landscape, its localconditions and customs, its cultural relics and its beautiful legends, but alsoin its glorious tradition and its fighting spirit. In the words of Mr. ShenCongwen, the chivalrous spirit of combining personal romantic emotion withhistorical religious emotion has become another model of personality andmorality in this place. Once this kind of chivalry spirit is combined withpatriotism, as long as it is properly led, it will be able to fight against theenemy when the country and the nation need it, and create earth shakingachievements. Indeed, we can see that some of the major events in modern Chinawere attended by Fenghuang people, and they were always at the forefront of thestruggle. Zheng Guohong, the third commander in chief of Dinghai who sacrificedhis life to serve the country in the first film war, Tian Xingshu, thecommanding commander of Guizhou in Qingyan and Kaizhou missionary cases in thesecond film war, Tian Yingzhao, who was awarded the rank of Army lieutenantgeneral by Dr. Sun Yat sen in Yuhuatai during the 1911 Revolution, and TianYingzhao, who fought in Jiashan and Changsha during the Anti Japanese war.Although the place is small, Xiong Xiling, the first people of the Republic ofChina, Shen Congwen, known as the father of local literature and influential allover the world, and Huang Yongyu, a famous painter, have been selected here.
