Ladies and gentlemen,

Welcome to Weihai. I am very pleased to be at your service as a tour guide today.

Situated on the east end of Shandong Peninsula, east China, Weihai is a beautiful city. Here you will find yourself in a picture of green mountains and blue sea, and it is pleased to your eyes and heart to see so many trees, flowers, and new buildings everywhere in the city. Among the numerous scenic spots here, Liugongdao Island attracts thousands of tourists every year with its unique charm. That is our destination today.

Located at the Weihai Bay, Liugongdao Island is 2.1 sea miles to the city, a distance that takes 20 minutes by ferry. Everybody, please board the ship and let’s go for a look.

Now our ship is departing the ferry slowly. Since we have 20 minutes to get there, I’ll make use of the time to tell you something about the history of Liugongdao Island.

According to archeological studies, the inhabitation on the island traces back as early as to the Warring States Period (403-221bc) and their remains can be found on the southeast of the island. During the Guongxu period in the Qing Dynasty, when the government began to set up the first navy, Liugongdao island was take as the navy base, and lot of facilities had been built. In the spring of 1895, after the Sino-Japanese war of 1894-1895 ended, the island was under the occupation of the Japanese army for three years. In 1898, the United Kingdom gained the lease of Weihai by force, and Liugongdao was under the occupation of UK for 32 years until 1930. In 1948, the troops led by Jiang Keshi occupied the island, and soon the island was liberated by the People’s Liberation Army.

Since new China was founded in 1949, Liugongdao Island has been well preserved. The whole island is densely covered with woods, most of which are black pines. It was ratified as a national forestry park in 1985, and in 1999 the island was nominated as a “national level tourist resort for high standard service”.

Once being the base of the Northern Navy as well as the battle field of the war, there are 28 historical sites in the island including the Northern Navy Headquarters, Dragon King Temple, Ding Ruchang’s Residence, the Navy school, fort and dock, all of which are designated “national major preservation unit of cultural relics”.

Well, that’s the brief history of the island, and we can see that it is not only a beautiful scenic sport, but also a very important witness of history.

Ladies and gentleman, here we are on the island.

Now, in front of us is the most magnificent building on the island which is called “The Northern Navy Headquarters ”.
