Mt.Hua Shan Good morning, ladies and gentlemen, today we are going to visit one of the five sacred mountains of China, Mt.Hua shan.It was called Mt.Taihuashan in ancient times for its five main peaks shaped much like a flower.Hua was historically the location of several influential Taoist monasteries, and was known as a center for the practice of traditional Chinese martial arts.Situated in Huayin County, Mt.Huashan is some 120 kilometers east of Xian City in Shaanxi Province.This mountain is celebrated for its majestic breath-taking crags, steep paths, beautiful scenery and it is said to be the most precipitous mountain in the world.Until recently there was only one way to reach the top of Mt.Huashan since ancient times.Most of the trail is very narrow and steep;some parts are almost vertical.Iron chains have been set up along the path, but courage and an adventurous spirit are still necessary if you decide to climb Mt.Huashan on foot.Recent developments have added two alternate ways of traveling to the summit.Now you can take the ropeway, or ride in a cable car to enjoy the unique scenery of Mt.Huashan.Mt.Huashan has more than two hundred places of interest and fascinating scenic spots.Its five main peaks, the South Peak(Landing Wild Goose Peak), the West Peak(Lotus Flower Peak), the East Peak(Facing Sun Peak), the Middle Peak(Pure Girl Peak)and the North Peak(Yuntai Peak), each of them has its peculiar scene and moving legend.The South Peak(Landing Wild Goose Peak)

Of the five main peaks, the South Peak ,which was named the Landing Wild Goose Peak is the highest at 2,160 meters, it is also the highest peak of the Five Sacred Mountains.When traveling to the top of the peak, you will feel that you can touch the stars in the sky.The south side of the Peak has very high cliffs standing erect as if they had been cut by an axe.The summit of the South Peak is the highest point in the sacred mountains and climbers consider it an honor to make it to the Peak.At the summit you will find the Black Dragon Pool and see the Greeting Pines on the southwest cliffs.Around the South Peak are Songhui Peak and Xiaozi Peak.There is a famous Taoism palace called Jintian Palace.The narrow pass, which is the plank road, is built along the cliff leading to the East Peak.The road is no more than 0.3 meters(about 1 foot)wide and runs above a very deep gorge.The stout hearted can travel this road by hanging on to a chain that is attached to the face of the cliff.The West Peak(Lotus Flower Peak)

The West Peak is a huge granite rock, it was named the Lotus Flower Peak.u know how it got this name? Because the big rock in front of Cuiyun Palace is shaped

much like a lotus flower, it is called Lotus Flower Peak.The West Peak is the most beautiful and dangerous peak of Mt.Huashan.The West Peak has numerous tourist spots including Cuiyun Palace, Lotus Flower Cave and Axe-hewing Rock.Each site has its own beautiful myth and legend.The legend of Chen Xiang, a filial son, who split the mountain with an axe to save his mother, is quite intriguing.A popular cartoon film called 'Lotus Lantern' was made to portray this legend.The East Peak(Facing Sun Peak)

The East Peak, also called Facing Sun Peak is like a platform available for visitors to view the sun rising.In ancient times the path to the top was full of hardships and danger, but recently steps were built making it comparatively easy to reach the top.The East Peak is the best place to watch the rising sun but you should start your climb at night if you want to see the wonderful scenery because it takes 4 to 6 hours to reach the top.There are more than ten scenic spots on the East Peak including the natural stone veins on the cliff that resemble a huge palm.The tranquil and serene environment on the top of the Peak will make you feel completely relaxed and happy.As for the the ways to get to the top the Mt.Hua shan, there r two ways for u to choose.one is by Ropeway.u know Yuquan Palace? a famous Quanzhen sect of Taoism Palace at the foot of Mt.Huashan, it is generally the starting post to climb the mountain.2 kilometers east away from Yuquan Palace, there is a cement road to Wamiaogou where you can travel to the top of the North Peak by the ropeway.And another way is on foot,you can start from Yuquan Palace, and go up along the path to the top of the North Peak, and from here you can go to the other four peaks.It takes about 10 hours to travel to the five main peaks on foot.Ok, ladies and gentlemen, so much for the Mt.Hua shan, I hope it have left u an impressive memory.Thank u for listening.

Huashan is located in the Qinling Mountain Range, which lies in southern Shaanxi province.Huashan（Hua means brilliant, Chinese, or flowery;shan means mountain）is one of the five sacred Taoist mountains in China.Huashan boasts a lot of religious sites: Taoist temples, pavilions, and engraved scriptures are scattered over the mountain.Hua Mountain is well-known for its sheer cliffs and plunging ravines.It is known as “the most precipitous mountain under heaven” and is probably the most dangerous mountain in the world frequented by hikers.Hua Mountain is located 120 kilometers east of Xi'an, about 3 hours from the city centre.There are five peaks that make up the mountain: Cloud Terrace peak（North peak, 1613m），Jade Maiden peak（Middle peak, 2042m），Sunrise peak（East peak, 2100m），Lotus peak（West peak, 2038m）and Landing Wild Goose peak（South peak, 2160m）.North peak, the lowest of the five, is the starting point.It has three ways up it: the six kilometer winding track from Huashan village, the cable car or the path beneath it.Next on the route is Jade Maiden peak.Legend has it that a jade maiden was once seen riding a white horse among the mountains, hence the name.The hikers can choose to take a left to Sunrise peak, a fine place to enjoy the view of the sunrise in early morning（which would involve climbing the mountain in the dark as there is nowhere to stay on the mountain）.Alternatively visitors could take a right to Lotus peak.Huashan means Flower Mountain, and it got the name from Lotus peak, which resembles a beautifully blooming lotus flower.Finally there is a gondola which takes visitors acroa steep valley to Landing Wild Goose peak, the highest among the five summits.The path to the summit is characterized by steep rock faces, with obstacles including a foot-wide plank walkway fixed to a sheer rock face with only a chain along the rock for support.The route continues with footholds in the rock and a chain for holding.This is followed by a vertical ladder in a cleft in the rock.Finally there are steep stone steps.The South peak is not for the faint of heart and is particularly dangerous in winter weather.However, the views are breathtaking.The climb to its summit makes it clear how the impenetrable mountain repelled attackers over the centuries.As early as the second century BCE, there was a Daoist temple known as the Shrine of the Western peak located at its base.Daoists believed that in the mountain lives a god of the underworld.The temple at the foot of the mountain was often used for spirits mediums to contact the god and his underlings.Unlike Taishan, which became a popular place of pilgrimage, Huashan only received local pilgrms, and was not well known in much of the rest of China.Huashan was also an important place for immortality seekers, as powerful drugs were reputed to be found there.Kou Qianzhi（365-448），the founder of the Northern Celestial Masters received revelations there, as did Chen Tuan（920-989），who lived on the mountain prior to receiving immortality.In the 1230s, all the temples on the mountain came under control of the Daoist Quanzhen School.In 1998, the management committee of Huashan agreed to turn over most of the mountain's temples to the China Daoist Association.This was done to help protect the environment, as the presence of monks and nuns deters poachers and loggers.

Hua Shan is the highest of China's five sacred mountains.It is 120 kilometers east of Xian.It has five peaks that resemble the petals of a flower.The highest peak is 2180 meters(7085 feet)。

We had had discussions about going to Hua Shan with some graduate students from Computer Science.That didn't work out due to changes in schedules on both sides.Also, they were planning to do the climb at night to be able to reach the peak at sunrise.That did not appeal to us.We wanted to spend a night on the mountain.Fran's department arranged a trip for us, making reservations at the simple hotel on the North Peak.They sent two graduate students to accompany us, though they had not been to Hua Shan before.We met them at 8:00 on Saturday morning and took a taxi to the train station.There we asked around and located a mini-bus.The bus made a couple of stops.One was to see a presentation about the traditional medicines grown on the mountain and a chance to buy some of them.It probably would have been interesting if we understood Chinese.Our guides gave us the general outline about what was said.The other stop was a quick lunch stop.There are two approaches to Hua Shan.[Chinese proverb: “There is one road and only one road to Hua Shan,” meaning that sometimes the hard way is the only way.] The west entrance involves 10 kilometers of walking on a road before you start climbing.We went with the east entrance, where the bus brings you to the base of a cable car that goes up to the 1500 meter North Peak.Our plan was to walk up to the North Peak, then climb to the four other peaks the next day and take the cable car down.We started the climb in the early afternoon.The path consists of stone steps with rough chain link handrails in the narrowest areas(we wore our bicycling gloves for hand protection)。Physically, it is more like climbing the steps of a skyscraper than trails at home.However, the temperature was about 95 degrees and there was not much shade.We brought lots of water, including some bottles that we froze and some Gatorade that we got at the fancy department store in downtown Xian.There are plenty of refreshment stands along the way where you can buy bottled water, the Chinese equivalent of Gatorade, and other drinks or snacks at a premium price.We reached the North Peak before 4:00 PM and rested at the hotel.Our room was basic, but comfortable and clean enough.Because water is scarce on the mountain, there were neither showers nor sinks available for washing.In that sense the experience felt like camping, but we were sleeping in a big tent!

After dinner at the hotel restaurant, we spent some time talking with our guides.We were a bit surprised to find that they both think of Japan negatively, but like the U.S.It seems that Japan's WWII behavior in China has not been forgotten, and is emphasized in school.We saw a beautiful sunset and watched the sky become resplendent with thousands of stars, including the Milky Way galaxy.This was the clearest sky that we have seen in China.The fresh air at Hua Shan is a treat!

Our guides had both been planning to get up at 4:00 AM to watch the sunrise.Fran and I made sleep a priority.We did happen to wake up a bit before sunrise(our room faced east)and went outside to watch the sky become rosy.Ironically, our guides missed the sunrise because they had stayed up late watching the European soccer championships on the television in their room

The plan for the day was to climb the other four peaks, but we reserved the right to shorten the route.The first part was a steep climb to Middle Peak.After the low North Peak, all the others are at roughly 2000 meters.There were crowds on the way to Middle Peak – mostly Chinese hikers but we did see a few other wai guo(foreigners)as well.We visited two Taoist temples en route to Middle Peak.()Each one had an altar with incense and offerings of fruit.The friendly monks invited us to say a prayer or to send blessings to loved ones.Fran accepted their invitation.At the first temple, she lit incense sticks and knelt on a cushion in front of the altar saying a silent prayer for our safe journey to the various summits of Hua Shan(the prayer was answered)。At the second temple, she knelt on a cushion in front of the altar and sent silent blessings to several friends who are experiencing challenging situations in their lives at present.After each blessing, she leaned forward and the monk struck a drum.After Middle Peak, the crowds got much thinner.The next was East Peak, which had a steep ladder climbing rock.Fran was dubious about this ascent, but realized that the ladder wasn't so bad and went for it.That was a good decision because we were then able to do a loop and the trails got almost empty at this point.After skirting the top of a cliff with a steep dropoff on both sides, we had a pleasant walk to South Peak and West Peak.There was even a small amount of dirt trail!The summit of South Peak was the highest point on Hua Shan, so of course we asked another hiker to take a photo of our guides and us.The views from the tops of each peak were beautiful.Hua Shan and the surrounding mountains are very rugged and remind us somewhat of hiking in the southwestern United States or the Sierras.We took a route that eventually brought us to the main line returning down from Middle to North Peak.We were happy to have ascended each of the five peaks(petals)of Flower Mountain.By cable car(the longest in Asia)，it was just 7 minutes down to the park entrance.We caught a shuttle bus into town, then transferred to a bus for Xian.Our guides told us that we had walked up and down a total of 4000 stairs!We were glad that we did not have this information when we started.For three days after returning home, our sore leg muscles instructed us to take the elevator to our fifth floor apartment rather than climbing the stairs.

各位游客：

你們好!我是你們這次華山之旅的導游，顧詩吟。我將帶你們一起去游覽這美麗的華山風光。

我先給大家介紹一下華山吧。華山，是《自然文化遺產名錄》里的一處勝景，還是國家AAAAA級景區哦!

我們現在到的地方是玉泉院，關于這里有一個故事。唐朝的金仙公主在山上鎮岳宮玉井中洗頭時，一不小心將玉簪子掉進了水中。回到玉泉院后，用泉水洗手時，發現了玉簪子，就知道這個玉泉眼與玉井相通。于是給這個泉取名為玉泉，玉泉院也因此得名。

這里就是華山最為有名的地方-長空棧道。你們腳踩的地方僅僅能容下一個腳掌。腰上的鐵鏈可以保護你們，所以不要怕。各位上去吧。

走完長空棧道，就來到了沉香劈山處。這里也有一個傳說。三圣母和一個凡間男子相愛并結了婚。由于犯了天條，她哥哥二郞神將三圣母壓在了華山下。生了個孩子叫沉香。十年后沉香知道真相與二郞神大戰，在眾神的幫助下打敗了二郞神，救出了母親。

這兒，就是鷂子翻身，各位游客注意安全，在這兒休息一下吧!

華山的美麗風景太多了，今天看不完。明天再接著游覽吧。

第五篇：華山導游詞

各位團友，大家好，我現在給大家介紹的是華山，古稱“西岳”，是我國著名的五岳之一，位于陜西省華陰市境內，距西安120公里。它南接秦嶺，北瞰黃渭，扼守著大西北進出中原的門戶，素有“奇險天下第一山”之稱。

華山是由一塊完整碩大的花崗巖體構成的，它的歷史衍化可追溯到1.2億年前，據《山海經》記載：“太華之山，削成而四方，其高五千仞，其廣十里。”

現在的華山有東、西、南、北、中五峰，主峰有南峰“落雁”、東峰“朝陽”、西峰“蓮花”，三峰鼎峙，“勢飛白云外影倒黃河里”，人稱“天外三峰”。還有云臺、玉女二峰相輔于側，36小峰羅列于前，虎踞龍盤，氣象森森，因山上氣候多變，形成“云華山”、“雨華山”、“霧華山”、“雪華山”給人以仙境美感。是所謂的西京王氣之所系。

華山還是道教勝地，為“第四洞天”，有陳摶、郝大通、賀元希最為著名的道教高人。山上現存七十二個半懸空洞，道觀20余座，其中玉泉院、東道院、鎮岳宮被列為全國重點道教宮觀。留下了無數名人的足跡，也留下了無數故事和古跡。自隋唐以來，李白、杜甫等文人墨客詠華山的詩歌、碑記和游記不下千余篇，摩巖石刻多達上千處。自漢楊寶、楊震到明清馮從吾、顧炎武等不少學者，曾隱居華山諸峪，開館授徒，一時蔚為大觀。而在華山諸多故事中，流傳最為廣泛的有神話故事有“巨靈劈山”、“沉香劈山救母”、“吹蕭引鳳”等。

華山是中華民族文化的發祥地之一，據清代著名學者章太炎先生考證，“中華”、“華夏”皆因華山而得名。《尚書》里就有有關華山的記載；《史記》中也有黃帝、堯、舜華山巡游的事跡；秦始皇、漢武帝、武則天、唐玄宗等十數位帝王也曾到華山進行過大規模祭祀活動。

華山還是神州九大觀日處之一。華山觀日處位于華山東峰（亦稱朝陽峰），朝陽臺為最佳地點。華山的著名景區多達210余處，有凌空架設的長空棧道，三面臨空的鷂子翻身，以及在峭壁絕崖上鑿出的千尺幢、百尺峽、老君犁溝等。其中華山的華岳仙掌被列為關中八景之首。

現在，由我來給各位當導游，帶領大家參觀聞名世界的西岳華山。

華山由一塊完整碩大的花崗巖體構成。華山海拔二千多米，由好幾座高大的山峰組成，當你快要步入華山腳下時，就會感到它的氣勢非凡，整個山勢雄偉壯觀，再加上云霧繚繞，朦朦朧朧，像仙境一般。遠遠望去，大大小小的山峰高聳立云端，近看，陡峭的巖石，形態萬千，看，這一座山峰昴首屹立，那一座山峰插入云天，似乎高不可攀，使人有望而生畏之感。玉泉院是上華山的起點。院內水榭、石坊風景如畫，有江南園林的韻味。從玉泉院起步，沿途有魚石、五里關、天女散花、青柯坪等20多處景點，游人如行道上，美不勝收。

自古以來，華山就以它的山勢險要而出名。蒼龍嶺是一塊巨大的巖石，臥在半山腰，它就像一只獅子，占據著方圓幾十里的地方，巖石兩側是深圳特區不可測的懸崖，登山的人只能扶著鐵鏈上去。

“鴿子翻身”是勇敢者去的地方。兩邊的山峰中間懸著一塊巖石，有一條繩子接著，登陸山的人經過這里，必須雙腳步懸空，飛躍過去。

華山很險要，清澈的泉水從山上直流而下，像一條白色的綢帶在山間盤旋。一把把黃色的“利劍”直入云霄，四周有一大片鮮花，在山間構成了一幅美麗的畫卷！

大家好！華山參觀完畢。歡迎大家下次再來。

西岳華山是我國著名的五大山岳之一，位于華陰市城南，海撥2200米，北瞰黃河，南依秦嶺，“遠而望之若花狀”（《水經注》），故有其名。又因其西臨少華山，古稱太華山。為國家級風景名勝區。這里有譽為關中八景之一的“華岳仙掌”。

華山以奇險峻秀而馳名天下，自山麓至絕頂，名勝古跡極多，廟宇道觀，亭臺樓閣，雕塑石刻隨處可見，險徑奇石，鬼斧神工，更有云海勁松，引人入勝。山頂有朝陽（東峰）、落雁（南峰）、蓮花（西峰）三峰，皆巋然筆立，直插云霄。三峰之下，有云臺（北峰）、玉女（中峰）諸峰環侍拱衛，各具特色，顯得山勢雄偉，峰巒疊翠聳削。

北峰，亦稱云臺峰，是總轄四峰的沖要處所，山勢崢嶸，三面懸絕，只有一嶺南通，故險要異常。峰頂有真武宮，依山為屋，疊起層樓，隱映于蒼松翠柏之間，周圍山色如畫，絢麗多姿。

東峰，峰頂朝陽臺，、是華山觀日出的絕佳境地，故稱朝陽松林，東峰有甘露池、青虛洞、下棋亭、鷂子翻身等景點。據說宋太祖趙匡胤曾在這里和陳摶下棋，結果失敗，而將華山輸與陳摶。

南峰，又稱落雁峰，是華山的最高峰，海撥2200米。四周皆松林，雜以檜柏。迤邐數里，濃陰匝地。南峰上有明代建造的金天宮也稱白帝祠。峰頂有老君洞，相傳道家始祖老聃隱居于此。洞北有太上皇，泉水碧綠，東注澗下，今稱“仰天池”。東面崖下有石坊，稱“南天門”。坊外西出有長空棧道，通至賀老石屋。南峰上還有老子峰、煉丹爐八卦池等名勝古跡。

西峰，是華山最秀麗奇峻的山峰，因峰頂翠云宮前有蓮花石，形狀如蓮花。故稱蓮花峰。據傳說故事《寶蓮燈》中的三圣母之子沉香壁山救母之處就在西峰。翠云宮旁有一巨石中裂，形如斧劈，名斧劈石。石旁樹立一柄鑄鐵長把大斧。峰的西北面，筆立如削，空絕萬丈，人稱舍身崖。此外，還有西元洞和蓮花洞等古跡。

華山登山道路蜿蜓曲折，處處是懸崖絕壁，峭峰陡立，奇險異常。1985年修筑了12公里長的華山登山道，對其它險要處也設有鐵鏈護欄保護游人的安全，使登山者感到有驚無險。1994年又修筑了一條登山臺階路。1996年華山索道建成營運。“自古華山一條路”已成為歷史。山上山下，風景區內，新建了旅游飯店、餐館、商店等旅游服務設施，可以滿足旅游者吃、住、行、游、購、娛等方面的需要。

華山位于陜西省西安市以東120公里的華陰市境內，自古以來就有“奇險天下第一山”的說法。華山的著名景區多達210余處，有凌空架設的長空棧道，三面臨空的鷂子翻身，以及在峭壁絕崖上鑿出的千尺幢、百尺峽、老君犁溝等，其中華岳仙掌被列為關中八景之首。幾大主峰各有特色，如西峰絕壁，東峰日出，南峰奇松，北峰云霧。華山以其峻峭吸引了無數游覽者。

山上的觀、院、亭、閣、皆依山勢而建，一山飛峙，恰似空中樓閣，而且有古松相映，更是別具一格。山峰秀麗，又形象各異，如似韓湘子趕牛、金蟾戲龜、白蛇遭難……。峪道的潺潺流水，山澗的水簾瀑布，更是妙趣橫生。并且華山還以其巍峨挺拔屹立于渭河平原。東、南、西三峰拔地而起，如刀一次削就。唐朝詩人張喬在他的詩中寫道：“誰將依天劍，削出倚天峰。”都是針對華山的挺拔如削而言的。同進華山山麓下的渭河平原海拔僅330—400米，而華山海拔2154.96米，高度差為1700多米，山勢巍峨，更顯其挺拔。

華山位于陜西省西安市以東120公里的華陰市境內。華山距西安咸陽機場138公里。機場沒有直達華山的班車，一般需要在西安坐車前往華山。華山有兩個火車站：華山火車站和華山北站。隴海線上各站可乘普通火車在華山站下車。發自西安的動車和高鐵則停靠在華山北站。西安火車站與西安城東客運站均有發往華山的班車或旅游專線車。華山景區內部交通主要為索道。

華山四季景色神奇多變，不同的季節可以欣賞到“云華山”、“雨華山”、“霧華山”、“雪華山”。春季雨足霧稀，萬物初醒，山花爛漫，是踏青訪春的好去處；夏季能見度高，氣候涼爽宜人，可看到日出和山間瀑布，時常伴有云海出現，嘆“但聞人語聲，不見有來人”之幽境；秋季溫度適中，紅葉滿山，山崖為底松檜為墨，一抹絢爛令人心顫，是登山的最佳季節；冬季白雪皚皚，雪淞峭壁遠山相望，給人以仙境美感。而日出則是華山一年四季都不可少的景致。

“自古華山一條道”。西岳華山，位于陜西省華陰市境內，古稱“天下第一險山”。華山景區面積遼闊，包括主峰景區、西岳廟景區、仙峪景區等，其中主峰景區是華山的核心景區，包括“華山一條路”和東南西北中五大主峰。大多數人心中的華山，指的就是主峰景區。

“奇險”兩字，是華山風光的精髓。長空棧道，鷂子翻身，以及在峭壁絕崖上鑿出的千尺幢、百尺峽、老君犁溝等處，親臨其境者，無不嘆為觀止。當你爬過所有險道山峰，躍上極頂，看到山谷中霧氣升騰、云海翻滾之時，必定會有豪氣沖天、大氣磅礴之感。

山五大主峰各有特色，東峰（朝陽）是看日出的最佳處；西峰（蓮花）兩側狀如蓮花，是傳說中“沉香救母”的地方；南峰（落雁）是華山最高峰，海拔2160米。三峰以下還有中峰（玉女）和北峰（云臺）兩峰。中峰是去其它四峰必經的之地；北峰頂平坦如臺，著名的“智取華山”的故事就發生在這里。

華山還是道教圣地，山上古跡眾多，現存道觀20余座，其中玉泉院、東道院、鎮岳宮被列為全國重點道教宮觀。華山以北7公里處的西岳廟，是古時祭祀西岳華山神的廟宇。如今每年的農歷三月期間，華山都會舉辦盛大的祭山廟會，三月十五日是朝山盛會日，這一天西岳廟將舉行盛大的拜岳大典。

華山（主峰景區）有兩個山門（進山口）：東山門和西山門（也稱華山門）。坐索道上山，前往東山門；如步行登山，從西山門進入。華山目前有東、西線兩條索道，分別到達西峰和北峰。
