歡迎各位參加“絲綢之路游”。我相信為期兩周的游覽將成為您一生中最難忘的經(jīng)歷之一。
絲綢之路的歷史可以追溯到公元前二世紀，當時一名中國官員、朝廷的使者張騫沿著這條連接亞歐兩大洲的貿(mào)易通道出使西域。這條通道源于長安城，即今日的西安，一路穿越陜西省、甘肅省境內(nèi)的河西走廊、新疆的塔里木盆地、帕米爾山區(qū)、阿富汗、伊朗、伊拉克以及敘利亞，最后抵達地中海東岸，全程7千公里，其中4千多公里的路段位于中國境內(nèi)。
15世紀前的一千多年里，中國通過這條通道給西域各國帶去了絲綢織物、火藥、造紙術(shù)和印刷術(shù)。同時，這條通道也從國外給我們引進了佛教、伊斯蘭教，以及葡萄、核桃、石榴、黃瓜、玻璃、香水等產(chǎn)品。因為中國絲綢是沿著這條道進入西方國家的，所以歐洲學(xué)者將此道稱作“絲綢之路”。
Welcome to the Silk Road Tour! I'm sure you will find this two-week trip one of your most memorable experiences in your life.
The Silk Road dates back to the second century B. C. when Zhang Qian, a Chinese official and envoy of the royal court, embarked on his business trip to Xiyu (meaning western countries) following this trade thoroughfare linking Asia and Europe. Originating from Chang'an (the present-day Xi'an), the route traversed Shaanxi Province, the Hexi Corridor in Gansu Province, the Tarim Basin in Xinjiang, the Pamir mountain region, Afghanistan, Iran, Iraq and Syria, ending at the eastern shores of the Mediterranean. More than 4,000 of its 7,000 kilometers were in China.
For over a thousand years up till the 15th century, China brought its silk cloth and goods, gunpowder, and paper making and printing techniques to the West via this road. This road, in return, introduced into China Buddhism and Islam as well as grapes, walnuts, pomegranates, cucumbers, glass, perfume and other products from the outside world. Because China's silk reached the West along this road, European scholars came to call it the "Silk Road".
絲綢之路沿途的大批歷史文物、引人入勝的自然風(fēng)景以及富有情趣的地方文化，使這一長途遠游成了世界上最精彩的旅游項目之一。在絲綢之路的中國段，沿線散居著許多少數(shù)民族，他們對來自世界各地的游客都以禮相待，熱情好客。這里的食物和工藝品不同于中國中部的食物和工藝品。這里的民間傳說，如同天方夜譚一般神奇，聽來別有一番情趣。
我社安排的“絲綢之路游”，始于西安古城，止于新疆首府烏魯木齊，其間我們還要游覽蘭州、敦煌以及吐魯番。沿線您可以領(lǐng)略自然景觀的魅力，欣賞古代藝術(shù)家高超的工藝，品嘗地方風(fēng)味小吃，結(jié)識當?shù)鼐用?。這次游覽一定會給您留下可與家人和朋友共享的美好回憶。
A wealth of historical relics, fascinating scenery and interesting local cultures along the Silk Road make this long trip one of the world's most exciting tourist attractions. Many Chinese ethnic minorities inhabit the part of the Silk Road in China, and they treat tourists from all parts of the world with courtesy and hospitality. The food and crafts in the region are different from those in central China. And the folklore is simply exotic and colorful.
