01.about xiamen厦门英文介绍
xiamen is an island city with a rich and dramatic history, replete with pirates, rebel leaders, and european merchants. now linked to mainland fujian by a causeway, xiamen retains a strong international flavor. known in the west as amoy, xiamen has a long history as a port city, and later became a center of british trade in the 19th century. their foreign settlements, later taken over by japanese invaders at the start of world war ii, were established on the nearby small gulangyu island. many of the old treaty-port and colonial buildings in western styles
survive. x iamen was declared one of china’s first special economic zones in the early 1980’s, taking advantage of the city’s heritage as a trading center and the proximity to taiwan. today xiamen is one of china’s most attractive and best-maintained resort cities.
xiamen was founded in 1394 at the beginning of the ming dynasty as a center of defense against coastal pirates. its prosperity was due to its deepwater sheltered harbor, that supplanted nearby quanzhou, the port that had been the center of the maritime trade with the indies.
in the mid-17th century, xiamen and gulangyu island became a stronghold of zheng chenggong, known in the west as koxinga, a ming loyalist who held out against the manchu invaders until being driven to taiwan. born in japan to a chinese pirate father and a japanese mother, zheng became allied with holdout ming princes in the south who hoped for a restoration. he built up a resistance force of some 7,000 junks and a mixed force of
three-quarters of a million troops and pirates. in 1661 he drove the dutch from taiwan and set up another base there, before
his death in 1662.
after the opium wars xiamen became one of the first treaty ports to be opened to foreign trade and settlement following the treaty of nanjing in 1842. gulangyu island was transformed into an international settlement, where many victorian and neoclassical style buildings still survive. the city’s prosperity was due both to trade and to wealth sent back by xiamen’s substantial emigrant community of overseas chinese.
prosperity returned to xia men in the early 1980’s when xiamen was designated one of
the four special economic zones (sezs).

stayed in here was very noisy and messy.
though the park is beside the yellow river the air is still a little smelly because there are a lot of animals such as horses
cocks and so on here which make lots of wastes every day
while few people clean them. in a word the park is not so good as i had expected and i felt unsatisfied about it.

旅游不单是一种兴趣，还是一门学问，快乐的旅途是你终生难忘的
回忆。要是有点探险精神的，三两同游，好玩的多逗留，游个饱，
不好的不看也罢，自由自在；不参加旅游团为好，那叫走马观花，
不叫旅游。当然，出去之前应该研究一下，要知道你想前往的地方
最出名最美丽的风光何时才有。
要是有足够的钱，宽容的时间，路线也应讲究，经济许可的可坐飞机，便捷省时，一览碧空，看云儿在脚下自由自在的飘舞；
坐火车呢，那也不俗，沿途景致，这边看看那边望望，说不定在车
上还能交上朋友呢！当然来回路线最好不要一样，这样可把沿途的
山水名胜游个饱，将来也不用再到这一片热土作重游之想了。我们
的祖国啊河山辽阔壮丽，要去的地方多着呢。
旅游之趣，不是一时能谈完的，不过，旅游，皆自对山水之钟情呵！ tour is not only a personal interest but also a kind of knowledge. a merry journey wil l be the memory that you can’t forget through your lifetime. it’s really at ease if you wander
with two or three china pates who have a little exploratory energy to stay in the interesting places as long as you want
but just ignore the unsightly places.
i t’s not good to join the travel agency other wise we should
call it gaining a superficial understanding through cursory observation but not traveling. of course, we should study to choose a most towardly occasion for the most famous and beautiful scene in the places before we are going to.
and we need enough money, enough time, special channel
and also an economical plane, it’s convenient for us. and we
can save more time to view the blue sky generally and look out upon the cloud dancing freely outside the plane.
it’s also not bad to travel by train. enjoy the scenery out of the train on the way, just look around here and there, maybe you can get some new friends in this narrow but long carriage.
certainly you’d better choose the different path when you return back from the place of interest so that you can make your eyes full of the landscape of interest on the way and never need to revisit the once familiar place. how far-flung and garland the rivers and mountains in our homeland are! there are still too many places we can go.
time is limited but the interest of traveling is limitless. we travel just because of our love knot to the natural mountains and rivers!
