Introducing ppt, a world famous city

Huadu-Paris

Among many world famous cities, Paris, the capital of France, enjoys the reputation of "Huadu" with its profound culture and unique style.

Paris is located in the center of the French basin, and the urban area spans the beautiful Seine River. It developed from a small boat-shaped island-the city island, with a history of more than 2, years. The magnificent Notre Dame de Paris < P > courtyard stands in the center of the city island. It was built in the 12th century and is the oldest and largest Catholic church in Paris.

If Notre Dame de Paris is regarded as the symbol of ancient Paris, then the Eiffel Tower standing on the left bank of the Seine River is the symbol of modern Paris. The tower named after Eiffel, a French engineer and the founder of the world's copper-iron-concrete < P > building, was built in 1889, which is the ancestor of modern towers. The tower is

32 meters high, which is equivalent to the height of an 8-story building. Standing at the top of the tower can overlook the whole city of Paris.

In addition to Notre Dame and the Eiffel Tower, there are also historical sites and artistic buildings in Paris, such as the Bastille Square, Place de la Concorde, the Arc de Triomphe, the Elysee Palace and the Palace of Versailles. The Arc de Triomphe is located in the center of Charles de Gaulle Square in the center of Paris, opposite the Place de la Concorde. It was built by Napoleon in order to show off his victory. The project started in 186 and took 3 years to complete. The Arc de Triomphe is 49.54 meters high,

44.82 meters wide and 22.21 meters thick. There are doors on all sides, and the inner and outer walls are covered with reliefs and giant statues, among which

is the most famous masterpiece "La Marseillaise" by the romantic sculptor Francois Rude.

The Elysee Palace on the street in front of the Arc de Triomphe is also a famous building in France. In the resplendent palace

, famous oil paintings and valuable tapestries are hung on the walls, and the room is furnished with antique gold-plated carved furniture,

and various exquisite clocks, just like a museum. Since 1873, the Elysee Palace has

become the presidential palace of France.

Paris has more than 6 museums, more than 7 libraries, 6 theaters, 2 cinemas and

15 concert halls. The most famous museum is the Louvre. It used to be the king's palace of French dynasties, and now it has become the French Museum of Fine Arts. The museum has a collection of 4, pieces, including famous paintings and statues such as Goddess of Victory and Our Lady of the Rock. The "street art" in Paris is also enduring. There are

world-famous open-air galleries and street concerts popular with the masses. Many young students and

ordinary citizens often bring their own musical instruments and perform various programs in the streets.

Paris's clothing is famous in the world, leading the fashion trend in the world. There are thousands of clothing stores in the city.

Rich people from all over the world have come to order clothes. On the streets of Paris, it is difficult to meet women in the same clothes, and they

also add elegance to the competition for "Huadu".

Symmetrical ancient capital-Beijing

When we have a bird's eye view of Beijing from a helicopter, people are surprised to find that Jingshan is like a human figure, with all five senses

and symmetry.

The ancient city of Beijing is a symmetrical city. It takes the Forbidden City as the center, from Yongdingmen, Qianmen,

Tiananmen, Wumen, Shenwumen and Jingshan to Di 'anmen, Bell Tower, Drum Tower and Andingmen, forming a

central axis. The north-south parallel streets such as Dongsi and Xisi, with the same east-west hutong criss-crossing < P >, are located on both sides of the central axis. Because of symmetry, the roads in Beijing are easy to identify. Many important buildings, such as

imposing imperial power in feudal times, are also neatly and symmetrically distributed around the central axis.

For example, the Temple of Heaven and the Ditan, where emperors in Ming and Qing Dynasties offered sacrifices to heaven and earth, were built on the east side of the north and south ends of the axis;

To the east of Tiananmen Square, there is the Imperial Ancestral Temple (now converted into the Cultural Palace of the Working People), and to the west, there are

social altars to worship the gods and pray for the valley (now turned into Zhongshan Park). This symmetrical pattern is particularly evident in the Palace < P > building of the Forbidden City. Inside the Forbidden City, not only palace buildings rise and fall, but also correspond to each other

. Even the stone and beast stone fence beside the road, the corner building on the edge of the city and the sculpture on the roof are all paired, which

set each other off and become interesting. The neatness and symmetry constitute the unique style and magnificent momentum of Beijing's urban architecture, which

gives people a sense of stability, broadness and dignity.

Beijing has a history of more than 4, years. After Liao Dynasty, it was the capital of Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties.

It represents the ancient culture of the Chinese nation, and there are many places of interest. Such as the Forbidden City, Jingshan Mountain, North

Sea, Zhongnanhai, Summer Palace, Temple of Heaven, Ditan, Badaling Great Wall, Mutianyu Great Wall, Zhoukou

store site of Chinese ape-man and caveman, etc. Many buildings have strange shapes and contain rich cultural ideas. For example, the Temple of Heaven is a dome, but the altar is square, which is in line with the ancient Chinese saying that the sky is round and the earth is square.

Beijing is bordered by Taihang Mountain in the west, Yanshan Mountain in the east and North China Plain in the east. It has a temperate continental climate with four distinct seasons, namely, dry spring, hot summer, cool autumn and cold winter.

Beijing now has 1 districts and 9 counties, covering an area of 1,6 square kilometers and a population of nearly 1 million.

it is the political, economic and cultural center of our country. There are many tall buildings in the city. Traffic, very busy.

Although the layout of modern buildings in Beijing is not as symmetrical as it used to be, the traditional style of our country is still taken into account in the design of municipal buildings. For example, the subway around the city with the Forbidden City as the center, the Second Ring Road, the Third Ring Road, the Fourth Ring Road and the Fifth Ring Road are all symmetrical. The central axis of the ancient Beijing city and its extension line are being rebuilt into a modern central axis road connecting Jingzheng Highway in the south, passing through Asian Games Village in the north and directly reaching Yanshan Qifeng. Among all the cities in the world, Beijing is still a unique and symmetrical city.

Bangkok, the Buddhist capital of the world

Thailand has the title of "yellow robe Buddhist country", and more than 9% of the population in the country believe in Buddhism. Its

capital, Bangkok, has the largest number of Buddhist temples in the world, with more than 4 Buddhist temples of different sizes. Walking through the city

, you are greeted by towering pagodas, monasteries with red roofs and temples with Thai fish ridges

in red, green and yellow, which are full of mysterious oriental colors. Every morning, the city is full of cigarettes, long bells

, crisp and pleasant sounds, and the sound of chanting is endless. Monks and nuns in temples walk slowly < P > in the street, and they become the unique landscape of Bangkok streets.

among the many temples in Bangkok, the Jade Buddha Temple, the Reclining Buddha Temple and the Golden Buddha Temple are the most famous, and they are called the three national treasures of Thailand. Jade Buddha Temple is a place dedicated to the royal families of Bangkok Dynasty to hold religious ceremonies and worship Buddha.

On the wall of the floating altar of the Jade Buddha Temple and the low wall around the temple, a row of colored porcelain with peony, lotus and bird patterns are embedded. It is said that these colored porcelains were brought by Zheng He, a navigator of the Ming Dynasty, on his second voyage. Jade Buddha is carved from a whole piece of emerald jade, which is 66 cm high and 48 cm wide. It is enshrined on a throne made of gold and is priceless. Thais believe that the Jade Buddha is the treasure of the town and country, and its divine power is boundless. Even after the cabinets of successive Thai governments were formed, the Prime Minister and all cabinet members also went to the Jade Buddha Temple to swear allegiance to the country and the king. Ordinary people have vital matters such as further education, marriage, childbirth and employment, and they all have to go there to worship and pray. Two people made a bet and swore, and

both asked Jade Buddha to testify. Every time the seasons change, a grand ceremony will be held, and the king will personally bathe, change clothes and change headgear for the Jade Buddha.

The reclining Buddha Temple is dedicated to a giant reclining Buddha with a length of 48.7 meters and a height of 12.2 meters. The Buddha is covered with gold.

It covers an area as big as a basketball court, which is even higher than four floors. Lying Buddha is an idol worshipped by couples who are not harmonious and have no children in Thailand. Here, young couples can often be seen kneeling down and praying. The Golden Buddha

Temple is dedicated to a 5,5-kilogram pure gold Buddha, which is cast in five parts and then assembled into a whole.

Bangkok is not only known as the "Buddhist Capital" because of its numerous monasteries and nuns, but also

it is indeed the Buddhist Capital: the headquarters of the World Buddhists Association with 32 member countries is located here.

"Lion City"-Singapore

As soon as ships from the South China Sea and the Indian Ocean entered Singapore Harbour, they saw at a glance the statue of the lion-headed fish standing on the seashore by the Anderson Bridge, with bright eyes and clear water spouting from their mouths, as if to express their wishes to the visitors. This is the symbol of Singapore, a tourist sign established in 1972.

In Sanskrit, Singapore means "Lion City". According to legend, in 1 15 BC, Prince Panna of Sri Lanka's late kingdom led his troops to an unnamed desert island at the southern tip of Malay Peninsula, and the first thing he met was a majestic lion. Later, Panna built a wall on the island, and the name of the city was "Sinhalese Buluo",

which means "Lion City", and the homonym became "Singapore".

Today, Singapore is both a city name and an island name, and it is also the name of Singapore and China. Singapore, the capital of Singapore, is located in the south of Singapore, the main island of Singapore. The port area is

93 square kilometers, and the waterway can maintain the deep water level all year round. It is an excellent free port with complete facilities and

the largest port in Southeast Asia. The downtown area is located in the northeast of the port area and on the north and south sides of the estuary of Singapore. It is the seat of

administrative institutions, and the main commercial, financial, communication and shipping institutions in the city are also concentrated here.

Singapore is only 137 kilometers away from the equatorial line, surrounded by the ocean, and it is summer all year round.

The climate is hot and rainy, and people don't feel stuffy because of the sea breeze. There are no famous mountains and rivers,

and no places of interest, but it has won the title of "Garden City" and become a world-famous tourist center with its pleasant climate, good municipal construction and thoughtful service.

There are no indigenous peoples in Singapore, and all the existing residents are immigrants, with Chinese accounting for the majority of the residents.

There are also Malays, Indians, Pakistanis, Britons and Japanese.

Water Capital-Venice

There are many so-called "Venice" cities in the world, such as "Venice in the East-Suzhou",

"Venice in Asia-Bangkok", "Venice in Northern Europe-Stockholm" and so on, which shows that Nice is a beautiful place.

Venice is a famous water capital in northern Italy. It is located in a new

moon-shaped lagoon on the Adriatic Sea, surrounded by the sea, and only a long dike in the northwest corner communicates with the land.

"Venice" originally means "the quietest place", and the city has been built for more than 1,4 years

. In the 11th-13th century, Venice had a powerful navy, dominating the trade between Europe and the East. At the end of the 14th century, wealth expanded greatly, and merchants, rich people, princes and bishops competed to build luxurious churches, palaces and mansions, leaving many historical sites for future generations.

Venice is a city with a river as its street. More than 17 rivers crisscross the city, dividing the land into more than 11 islands. The Universiade < P > River, which is about 3.2 kilometers long and 37-7 meters wide, runs between the islands. All kinds of buildings with different styles are arranged on both sides of the river. Many

buildings seem to float on sparkling water, and residents of some small islands can stand in their own houses

and talk with their "neighbors" on the opposite island. There are more than 4 bridges between the islands. The stone bridge

has various forms and features, especially Rialto Bridge and "Sigh Bridge" in the downtown area.

Rialto Bridge, built in the late 16th century, is a single-span marble bridge. The bridge is 48 meters long and 22 meters wide, with a pavilion in the heart and small shops on both sides.

Venice is also a city where boats take the place of cars. There is no need for cars on the island here. Even if the head of state of the country comes here, he must abandon his car and enter the city by boat or on foot. There are all kinds of boats in the rivers of Venice, including "buses"-traffic boats. There are private "cars"-

small motorboats; There are all kinds of "water shops"-selling boats, as well as rescue boats, fire boats, garbage boats, entertainment boats ... There is a unique local small rowing boat named "gondola", which is flat-bottomed and black, with

the tip of the head and tail tilted, standing on the right and rowing with long paddles. In history, it reached more than 1 thousand at most, and it is still used as a tourist ship. In order not to affect the traffic, Venice expressly forbids swimming in the river.

A variety of ships travel from south to north, shuttling on large and small rivers, forming the unique bustling scenery of Shuicheng

.

Venice, with its beautiful scenery, is also famous for its numerous historical sites. In the center of Venice, a 99-meter-high bell tower rises in the Plaza Saint Kyle. On the east side of the square, the Governor's Palace and St. Kyle's Church, with exquisite sculptures and magnificent furnishings, are examples of ancient Venetian architectural art.

in p>198, Suzhou, a water town in the south of China, was established as a sister city with Venice.

Fog City-London

London, the capital of England, is an ancient and modern city. It is not only a historical and cultural city and an international financial center, but also known as the "Fog Capital" in the world.

London can be roughly divided into three parts: the city of London and the inner and outer London, and consists of 32 cities (including the city of London)

. Together, these three parts are called Greater London, with a total area of 1,65 square kilometers. The city of London, with an area of only 1.6

square kilometers, was the seat of the royal palace in the 11th and 16th centuries, and now it has become a concentrated place for banks, insurance companies, stock management and stock exchanges. Whitehall Street in the West District is the seat of Buckingham Palace of Britain's Prime Minister's official residence and cabinet ministries, as well as Queen Elizabeth II. Because there are so many rich people in this

, the market is particularly prosperous.

University of London, London Museum, Tower of London, London Bridge, St. Paul's Cathedral, the former residences and cemeteries of Newton, Darwin, Marx and Chopin, Greenwich Observatory, and the Exposed Forum in Hyde Park are many admirable places, which make London enjoy a high reputation in culture and art. Skyscrapers and palaces, churches and other buildings in the Middle Ages and Renaissance

rise and fall, and the green spaces in large and small parks are the same as the colorful city streets, which makes London

have a typical European urban scenery.

London is also a world-famous "foggy city". One day in five days here is foggy. The

fog here often lingers, and for several days in a row, the air is full of white water droplets. The steeple churches on both sides of the Thames

are covered with high-rise buildings, leaving only some castles in the air. The fog also

brought trouble to the citizens. A heavy fog occurred on December 5, 1952, which lasted for more than four days. The soot discharged from the family < P > heating was shrouded in heavy fog and persisted for a long time. Day is like night, so light a lamp to shine

. Urban traffic stopped, residents felt chest tightness and difficulty breathing, and the marble buildings in Baiting Street were corroded.

The fog in London is related to the local geographical environment and air pollution. Britain is
