Ladies and gentlemen,

I feel very glad to be your guide for the one-day tour to the Three Gorges Dam. Welcome to the Three Gorges Dam.

The Three Gorges Dam is one of the most fantastic man-made wonders in the world. It lies in Yichang, Hubei Province. It’s only 38 kilometres away from Gezhou Dam. The Three Gorges Dam began to be built in 1994 and it took 17 years to finish the project. The dam with a maximum height of 185 metres is about 2, 300 metres long, 115 metres wide at the bottom and 15 metres wide at the top. As the dam was built, a giant reservoir with a length of 600 kilometres formed. It produces electricity for millions of people in China. In my opinion, it’s also a new rare scenery in the world. I know you are looking forward to the visit.

Wish you have great fun for the whole day.

The Great Wall is in the north of China. It has a history of over 2,000 years. It is one of the greatest man-made wonders in the world. It’s about 6,700 meters long, 6.7 meters high and 4.5 meters wide, It’s wide enough for five horses or ten men to walk side by side. And it is also one of the most popular places of interest in China. Many people from all over the world go to visit it every year. I feel excited when I am standing on the Great Wall. We feel proud of Chinese.

If you come to China without visiting the Great Wall, it is the same as going to Egypt without visiting the pyramids. I hope you’ll come to China to visit the Great Wall some day.
