刘公岛导游词英文导游词 篇三
The inscriptions on the archway in front of the building which mean “China museum of the Sino-Japanese war of 1894-1895” were written by president Jiang Zemin. This building was built in 1887 with a land area of more than 10,000 square meters. The Headquarters consist of three halls, first let's enter
the front hall.
Here is a big “sand map” of the over all disposition of the North Navy in 1894. From this map you could realize that the island has really a very important strategic position, because it exactly guards the mouth of Weihai Bay. At that time there were six forts on this island which guarded the bay together with those on the shores, solid defenses were set up with torpedoes, logs and iron chains, which shouldn't be broken through by the invaders. But we know that the Japanese Navy landed from Rongcheng, and attacked Liugongdao from the land. Apart from this consideration, the government at that time was corrupt and incompetent. They adopted the conservative strategy, and thus led the fall of Liugongdao Island.
Well, ladies and gentlemen, you have learned the position of the island from the sand map. Please follow me into the next hall and have a visit of the waxworks. The wax figures shown here were the high-ranking commanders who were in a military meeting before the battle. Some of them proposed to launch an attack, some of them were in favor of defending. In the middle sat Ding Ruchang, the general of the Northern Navy. He committed suicide after the fall of Liugongdao Island.
Ok, everyone, let's move on to the back hall. Yes, these are the model warships of the Northern Navy. They were all made according to real photos or data from records. Yes, an illustration of the battle that happened in the Yellow Sea, on September 17th, 1894. That battle lasted about five hours and five of the ten warships of the Northern Navy were destroyed. It was after this battle that the Qing Government adopted the conservation policy. They didn't allow the warships to go out of Weihai Bay, so the sea was controlled by Japanese Navy. And this led the ruin of the whole Northern Navy.
Ok, everybody. I think you've learned a lot about the Northern Navy and its headquarters, pay attention that cameras are forbidden here in the hall, you could take some pictures outside. I will give you a 10-minute break. We'll get together at 10:45 just in front of the gate of the headquarters, OK
