Have you noticed the cobbled road surface? this is the only cobbled streetleft in harbin. this cobbled street was paved in1925. thanks to the goodquality, the street has kept in good shape with a few repairs in the past. thisstreet began to take shape as an international street in the1920s. there wereover a hundred shops and many were owned by forergners, such as russians,greeks, czechs, swedes, swiss, frenchmen, germans and englishmen. they builttheir shops in their individual styles. therefore, the street not only lookedlike a foreign street, but also was controlled by foreigners. now this smoothcobbled street may remind us of the past when foreigners were sitting inchariots along the street, as if we could still hear the horse-hoofs clicking oncobbles.
Over half a century is past , zhongyang street is weather-beaten. with theimplementation of reform and opening-up, it is ready to welcome visitors with anew outlook.

哈尔滨景点导游词英文 篇3Ice sculptures are a traditional form of art in the northeastern part ofChina. It is said that a long, long time ago, people went fishing on the SonghuaRiver in winter. They dug a hole in the ice, and put a hook in and they couldcatch a lot of fish as fish rushed to the hole to get fresh air. Thus fishingcontinued into the night. For lack of light, fishermen tried to make an icelamp. They used a pail of water, and let it freeze for a certain time. Then theypulled this block of ice out of the pail. They drilled a hole in the middle,poured out the unfrozen water, and put oil light inside. In this way, an icelantern was made. Since fish are attracted by light, night fishing is moreproductive. It is said even in the coldest winter, one could still see icelanterns dotted along the Songhua River. Nowadays ice lanterns are hardly seenanywhere. Instead people make ice sculptures. Since the water in the SonghuaRiver freezes for over half a meter, people cut blocks of ice from it. Then theyuse special tools, some hat like carpenters' saws, chisels, planes and, so on,to make blocks of ice into landscapes, buildings, human and animal figurine: Inorder to get the utmost effects, they also make full use of modem technology,such as light, sound, color and electronic equipment.
