Nanjing Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum English Tour Guide Speech (Part 1)
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Nanjing Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum. My name is [Your Name], and I will be your tour guide today as we explore this historical and significant site.
The Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum is a memorial dedicated to the founding father of the Republic of China, Dr. Sun Yat-sen. It is located at the foot of the second peak of the Purple Mountain and covers an area of over 80,000 square meters.
As we enter the mausoleum, you will notice the grand entrance gate, which is adorned with intricate carvings and inscriptions. This gate, known as the Lingxing Gate, symbolizes the entrance to a sacred place and sets the tone for the rest of our visit.
Walking along the Sacred Way, you will be surrounded by a beautiful natural landscape with lush trees and well-maintained gardens. The Sacred Way is a traditional pathway leading to the tomb, and it is lined with stone statues of animals and mythical creatures that are meant to protect the deceased.
At the end of the Sacred Way, we will arrive at the main hall of the mausoleum. This hall, known as the Memorial Hall, is where Dr. Sun Yat-sen's remains are enshrined. Inside, you will find a bronze statue of Dr. Sun, as well as numerous artifacts and historical documents that showcase his life and achievements.
One of the highlights of the mausoleum is the magnificent marble staircase leading up to the Memorial Hall. This staircase, consisting of 392 steps, represents the 392 million Chinese people that Dr. Sun Yat-sen fought to liberate from feudalism and foreign domination. As we climb the staircase, take a moment to reflect on the significance of this number and the impact Dr. Sun had on China's history.
Once we reach the top of the staircase, we will enter the Memorial Hall and have the opportunity to pay our respects to Dr. Sun Yat-sen. Please remember to maintain a respectful and quiet demeanor while inside the hall.
Before we conclude our tour, I would like to remind you that the Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum is not only a place of historical significance but also a place of tranquility and beauty. Take a moment to appreciate the breathtaking views of the surrounding landscape and reflect on the legacy of Dr. Sun Yat-sen.
Thank you for joining me today on this tour of the Nanjing Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum. I hope you have gained a deeper understanding and appreciation for the life and achievements of Dr. Sun Yat-sen.
