篇一：北京胡同英文导游词

Good morning，Ladies and Gentlemen：Welcome to Beijing，and welcome to

today's Hutong tour!My name is xx，you can simply call me Grace. I was born and

grew up in Hutong area. Today I'll show you around my neighborhood. If you have

any questions，please let me know. I will try my best to make your stay a pleasant

and memorable one!

First of all，I would like to start with the term"Hutong"，H-U-T-O-N-G what

does Hutong mean?

According to experts，the word Hutong originated from Mongolian language

meaning"Well".In ancient times，people tended to gather and live around wells.

So the original meaning of Hutong should be"a place where people gather and

live."Another explanation says that during the Yuan Dynasty，about 13th century，

residential areas in the city were divided into many n the smaller

divisions were passageways for people to travel through. And those passageways

also functioned as isolation belts against fire risks. In Mongolian language，

passageways of this kind were called Hutong. But no matter what Hutong exactly

means，one thing is for sure，that is，Hutong first appeared in Beijing during the

Yuan Dynasty. In the early 13th century，a Mongolian tribe from the north became

very strong. Led by Genghis Khan，the Mongolian occupied Beijing，the capital of

the Jin Dynasty. In the year 1271，Kubla Khan，the grandson of Genghis Khan，

ounded Yuan Dynasty and set Beijing as the capital city in the following year.

Unfortunately，the old city was completely destroyed during the war. So they had

to rebuild it. In old China，all the structures and roads were required to be

symmetrical. So the city was well designed. First，they had to find a center，and

then built a regular square layout of the city was very much like a

chessboard. About 50 residential areas were constructed，with straight roads and

Hutongs in between. At the time，there was a clear definition for avenue，street

and Hutong. A 37-metre-wide road was called an avenue，an 18-metre-wide one

was called a street，and a 9-metre-wide lane was called a Hutong. Most of today's

Hutong were formed during the Ming and Qing Dynasties that followed. Nobody

knows exactly how many Hutongs there are in nowadays Beijing. But one thing is

for sure，if we connected all the Hutongs together，their total length would even

be longer than the famous Great wall，which is about 4000 miles longer. Or to

make it clear，it could build a highway from Seattle to Boston，all across America!

Today you can find various Hutongs with different shapes，lengths or

shortest one is only 40 centimeters wide，which means a person like

me has to walk sideways to get through. And some Hutongs have more than 20

turns. With the growth of the population，many old Hutongs have disappeared to

make way for high-rise apartments. Today I'm very happy to show you some well-

preserved Hutongs，and to let you experience the typical Chinese life. Are you

ready?Let's go!
