Five-Pagoda Temple
五塔寺
Five-Pagoda Temple(Wuta Si)，which is also called Jingangzuo Sheti Baota，is located in Hohhot City. As there are five small dagobas on the pedestal of the pagoda，it is named Wuta Si. Wuta was originally a building of the temple construtted during 1727一1732. Now the temple has disappeared，but the pagoda has remained.
五塔寺又称金刚座舍宝，位于呼和浩特市。.因为在一个金刚座上建有5个玲珑舍利小塔，所以人们通称为五塔寺。五塔寺始建于公元1727一1752年之间。现在寺庙已经不存在，但五塔却保持至今。
The construction of the temple began in the 5th year of the reign of the Emper or Yongzheng of the Qing Dynasty. The Pagoda is 16. 5 meters high and looks like a Buddha's Warrior Attendant's seat，with a base under it and five exquisite pagodas on the base. As more than 1 560 relief sculptures of Buddha are engraved on the five pagodas，the temple enjoys the reputation of being“a 10 000一Buddha Tower".In addition，there are images of Bodhisattva，the four Devarajas ,Buddhist Saint，Heavenly Ladies，holy birds and animal，bodhi trees and the engraved scriptures in Mongolian，Tibetan and Sanskrit on the wall of the pagodas. On the wall facing the temple there are 3 marble relief sculptures，including a planisphere marked with Mongolian inscriptions. The pagodas are not only peculiar buildings， but also a huge exquisite carving.
五塔的建设始于清雍正五年，塔高16. 5米，像一个佛教武士的座椅。底座土有五个精致的宝塔。五塔上刻有1 560件 浮雕 作品，因此得名万佛塔。此外，菩萨、四大大神、佛教圣徒、仙女、神鸟，还有蒙古、西藏的 雕刻 也被刻在了五塔的墙上。正对寺庙的墙壁上有三个大理石浮雕，包括用蒙古文记载的天文图。五塔不仅是一座建筑物，而且是一件巨大的艺术品。
The pagoda is composed of three parts:the base，the seat and the top(five dagobas).The lower part of the seat is inlaid with inscriptions of Diamond Sutra written in Mongolian，Tibetan and Sanskrit. The upper part is niches holding goldplated statues of Buddha. The body of the pagoda is glazed in greens and yellows.
五塔山三个部分组成:底座、座位和塔顶。座位的底部有用蒙古语、藏语和梵文编写的金刚经，上面是一些放有渡金佛像的壁龛。塔身是绿黄相间的建筑。
On the northern wall of the pagoda，three sculptures are inlaid. The Mongolian Astronomical Map is the only one labeled in Mongolian so far in the world and it is of great importance to scientific research.
在塔的北面墙上，镶嵌着三个雕塑蒙古天文图是日前仅存的一个用蒙古语记载的天文图，具有极高的学术价值。
Compared with other pagodas，Five-Pagoda Temple is unique in at least two aspects:its special structure，pagodas over pagoda， and the green and yellow colored glazes on the short eaves and tops of pagodas. Those make Five-Pagoda Temple quite special，a treasure of Hohhot City.
与其他塔寺相比.五塔寺在两方面有其独到之处:一是结构特别，宝塔摞宝塔，而是塔檐与塔顶颜色绿黄相间。五塔寺山于这些原因而略显特别，是呼市的一个珍宝。

Suzhou is located beside Taihu Lake，and it is a fertile and scenic land with a subtropical monsoon climate，moderate with distinctive four seasons. Suzhou is a city of rivers and canals and also a city of gardens. Hence it is called the“Venice of the Orient" . Suzhou was first established in 514 BC and it was once the capital city of Kingdom cf Wu. King of Wu became the most powerful of the time because of the support of the mighty economy of the area. In Song， Yuan，Ming and Qing Dynasties，Suzhou boasted as the most abundant“land of grain and meat" of the nation and thus began from Song Dynasty the famous sayings that“Suzhou on earth matches paradise in Heaven" and“bumper harvests in Suzhou alone are enough for the whole nation"
苏州位于长江下游的太湖之滨，是个土地肥沃，风光秀丽的地方，属亚热带季风气候，四季分明，气候温和。苏州既是一个河网密布的城市，又是一个优美的园林城市，因此具有“东方威尼斯”之称。苏州建城始于公元前514年，历史上曾是吴国的首都。凭借这一地区强大的经济实力，吴国得以成为当时最强之国。到了宋、元、明、清时期，这里已经成为全国最富裕的“鱼米之乡”。宋代时期就有“天上天堂，地下苏杭”、“苏湖熟，天下足”的说法。
Suzhou is the site of the prosperous Wu culture，and it has bred up a great many of scholars and high officials in all dynasties. When these scholars and high officials returned to their birthplace because of either retirement after ambition fulfillment or for hermitage due to disappointment，they would spend a great amount of money on gardens for literary cultivation in their senior years. Besides，the beautiful topography，gentle customs，and peaceful ife of Suzhou's also helped to promot the construction and advance of so many landscape gardens in Suzhou.
苏州是吴文化的繁荣之地，历代都养育了许多科举及第的文人和达官贵人。他们衣锦还乡或失意归隐到故里后，纷纷筹集巨资建造园林，借以抒发其晚年的文人情怀。此外，苏州的山灵水秀、温雅的民风和安定的社会也促进了大量园林的建设和发展。
The Ming and Qing dynasties between the 14th and 20th century were its prime periods of garden building，when at onetime there were more than 200 private family gardens. A dozen of them are still in good condition today，including the top four classic gardens-the Fisherman's Net Garden，Lion Grove. Humble Administrator's Garden and Lingering Garden.
公元14一20世纪明清时期是园林建设的鼎盛时期，这里的私家园林一度有200余处，其中有十几座园林依然保持完好，包括网狮园、狮子林、拙政园、留园等四人名园。
The Humble Administrator`s Garden，the largest，occupies four hectares. It was built in 1522 during the Ming Qynasty. Water accounts for three-fifths of its total area. All the major buildings face the water. Centering on the pool，bridges and corridors harmoniously link up isles，rockeries，pavilions and towers. The garden shows a natural and flowing artistic style.

The Lingering Garden on the other hand , demonstrates a compact layout and a delicate decorative art.Built in the Ming,it was renovated and expanded in the early 19th century during the Qing Dynasty， to cover an area of 3 .3 hectares as we see it today. The garden is divided into four sections:artificial hills in the west，pastoral scenery in the north，hall and pavilion structures in the east and hills and waters at the center. A winding corridor of over 1 000 meters links them.
留园则展现了一种整体布局紧密和巧妙的装饰艺术。留园建于明朝，19世纪早期的清朝间得到修缮和扩建，建成了现在的占地3. 3公顷的留园。留园由4个部分组成:西区的假山、北区的田园景色、东区的曲廊辛阁和中区的山水。各区间由长约I 000多米的蜿蜒长廊相连。
The unique charm of these gardens has led to their entry into the list of world cultural heritage in 1997.

明朝时期，鼓浪屿还是一个水草丰茂、渺无人烟的小岛，名“圆沙洲”。因周围巨大的海礁受到海浪的阵阵冲击，发出犹如擂鼓的声音，故后改名为“鼓浪”屿。也就是说，在中文里，“鼓”指的是“擂鼓”，“浪”指的是“海浪”。
During the later Ming Dynasty，the troops of national hero Zheng Cheng gong were stationed here.After the Opium War in 1842，13 countries including Great Britain，France，America，Germany and Japan established consulates，churches，hospitals.banks and schools here，turning the island into a common concession. In 1942，Japan occupied the island until the end of the War of Resistance against Japan
