L:As we go, please enjoy a glimpse of the outskirts and the city. H: This tree-lined road is beautiful, and everything in the fields looks so fresh and green. L:Yes, that’s one of the reasons why the crops are so good in spite of the rather bad weather we’ve had. H: ( Surprised to see so many newly-built two-storied houses dotted about the fields) Look! I wonder whose houses they are. The all look brand-new. L:The are farmers’ houses. H: How splendid! I wonder if could visit some of them. L:Certainly. We’ll include it in your sightseeing program… Please look straight ahead, you can see a pagoda. It dates back to the 10th century. Beside the pagoda there’s an ancient temple…Here’s the famous botanical garden. With exotic flowers and rare trees in great variety.. Now here we’re in the city proper… Here’s the museum, there’s the art gallery, and that’s the exhibition center… the tall building you see over there. Here we are. This is East China Hotel.
