参观故宫英语作文（精品20篇）

8月9日上午，我参观了位于北京市中心的故宫。旧称“紫禁城”，是明清两代24位皇帝的皇宫，已有500多年的历史了。现在人们叫它故宫，也叫故宫博物院。是我国现存的最大最完整的古代宫殿建筑群，由于它在中国历史上的特殊地位和它精美的建筑群体，不仅是中国最重要的文物保护单位，也是世界著名的文化遗产，被誉为世界五大宫之一。

听导游介绍：明朝皇帝朱棣登基不久，在永乐四年(1406年)下诏营建北京紫禁城，永乐十八年(1420年)基本建成，随从南京迁都北京。故宫南北长961米，东西宽753米，面积约为72.5万平方米。大小宫殿72座，房屋9999.5间,据实际统计，共8704间。外围是一条宽52米，深6米的护城河环绕;接着是周长3公里的城墙，墙高近10米，底宽8.62米，形成一个森严的城堡。四个城角都有精巧玲珑的角楼。放眼望去，红墙金瓦，规模宏大，似京城中的一片宫殿之海。

故宫共有四道门，分别是午门、神武门、东华门和西华门。而故宫的正门就是午门，俗称“五凤楼”，因在罗盘上，上午的代表正南，所以午门也是南大门的意思。它的平面呈“凹”字型。正中开了三道门，两侧都有掖门，这种做法称为“明三暗五”。五个门洞都有各自的用途：中门是皇帝专用的，或者皇帝大婚的时候，皇后可以从这里入宫，科考三甲也可以从这里入宫;平时，文武百官走左门，宗室王公走右门;掖门只有在大型活动的时候才开，三品以下的官员按照文东武西分别通过东西掖门，外国使节要从西掖门才可以入宫;在殿试的时候，考生分单双号从东西掖门通过。

从天安门往里走，穿过一片青砖铺地的广场，便到达紫禁城的正门----午门。这里是一个宽阔的庭院，看到内金水河，它自西向东蜿蜒流过太和门广场，上边还有5座汉白玉石桥，随河宛转，形似玉带。桥的北面是太和门，一对威武的铜狮守卫在门的两侧。过桥经太和门便是雄伟的太和殿。

故宫的建筑依据其布局与功用可分为“外朝”与“内廷”两大部分。“外朝”与“内廷”以乾清门为界，乾清门以南为外朝，以北为内廷。故宫外朝、内廷的建筑气氛迥然不同。

外朝以太和、中和、保和三大殿为中心，位于皇宫的中轴线，此外两翼东有文华殿、西有武英殿、内务府等，是明清两代皇帝办理政务、举行朝会及其他重要庆典的场所。

其中三大殿中的太和殿，俗称“金銮殿”，高28米，面积2380多平方米，是故宫最大的殿堂。在湛蓝的天空下，那金黄色的琉璃瓦重檐屋顶，显得格外辉煌。殿檐斗拱、额枋、梁柱，装饰着青蓝点金和贴金彩画。正面是12根红色大圆柱，金琐窗，朱漆门，同台基相互衬映，色彩鲜明，雄伟壮丽。大殿正中是一个约2米高的朱漆方台，上面安放着金漆雕龙宝座，背后是雕龙屏。方台两旁有6根高大的蟠龙金柱，每根大柱上盘绕着矫健的金龙。仰望殿顶，中央藻井有一条巨大的雕金蟠龙。从龙口里垂下一颗银白色大圆珠，周围环绕着6颗小珠，龙头、宝珠正对着下面的宝座。梁枋之间彩画绚丽，各式雕龙，多态多姿。太和殿是举行重大典礼的地方。皇帝即位、生日、婚礼和元旦等都在这里受朝贺。每逢大典，殿外的白石台基上下跪满文武百官，中间御道两边排列着仪仗，皇帝端坐在宝座上。大殿廊下，鸣钟击磬，乐声悠扬。台基上的香炉和铜龟、铜鹤里点起檀香烟雾缭绕。

太和殿之后是中和殿，这是一个亭子形方殿，殿顶把四道垂脊攒在一起，正中安放着一个大圆金宝顶，轮廓非常优美。举行大典，皇帝先在这里休息。后面保和殿是每年除夕皇帝赐宴外藩王公的场所，也是科举考试举行殿试的地方。

穿过乾清门，便进入内廷。内廷以乾清宫、交泰殿、坤宁宫为中心，两翼为养心殿、东西六宫。凤凰逐渐增加，出现了双凤朝阳、龙凤呈祥的彩画，还有飞凤、舞凤、凤凰牡丹等图案。是帝王与后妃居住之所。

乾清宫是内廷的正殿，高20米。殿的正中有宝座，内有“正大光明”匾。是皇帝处理日常政务，批阅各种奏章的地方，后来还在这里接见外国使节。

坤宁宫北面就是御花园。御花园里有高耸的松柏、珍贵的花木、山石和亭阁。御花园原名宫后苑，占地11000多平方米，有建筑20余处。以钦安殿为中心，园林建筑采用主次相辅、左右对称的格局，布局紧凑、古典富丽。殿东北的堆秀山，为太湖石迭砌而成，上筑御景亭，名为万春亭和千秋亭的两座亭子，可以说是目前保存的古亭中最为华丽的。

从御花园出顺贞门，就到故宫的北门神武门，明朝时为“玄武门”，玄武为古代四神兽之一，从方位上讲，左青龙，右白虎，前朱雀，后玄武，玄武主北方，所以帝王宫殿的北宫门多取名“玄武”。清康熙年间因避讳改称“神武门”。是宫内日常出入的门禁，对面有用土、石筑成的景山，松柏成林。整体布局上是故宫建筑群的屏障。现为故宫博物院正门。

故宫，无论是平面布局，立体效果，还是形式雄伟堂皇，都堪称无与伦比的杰作。它是中国古代建筑艺术的精华，标志着中国悠久的文化传统。现在，故宫一些宫殿中设立了综合性的历史艺术馆等，收藏有文物100万件，占全国文物总数的1/6。是中国收藏文物最丰富的博物馆，也是世界著名的古代文化艺术博物馆，很多文物是绝无仅有的无价国宝。

A sunny Sunday， usually every day and sleep until the sun father-drying

bottoms climb to get up early and get up in red， wake up my mother。 Drowsily

mother slowly said: "Today what the section， from Why so early?" Little Red said

excitedly: "Mom， do not install confused， you said that today took me to the

park!"

Came to park， mother and son were two beautiful scenery attract: kids， some

kite-flying， and some shooting while playing ball red bumper cars， while also

playing slippery slides， played with enjoying themselves， was sweating

profusely。

Little Red hobbled down to holding mothers hand while walking while

singing。 Suddenly， a banana peel， a red block of the avenue， little red slip

banana skin reminded once again to see if the banana peel to her protest， then

do not fight a gas， the foot kicked the banana peel。 Mom saw， as if aware of her

mind like， and did not criticize her， she just pulled the banana skin side next

to her while saying with great earnestness: "I know you have been slipping on

banana peel， very angry， but you should From the perspective of others think

that if you somehow accidentally stepped on a banana peel how to do red listened

to， very ashamed， the banana peel thrown into the bin。

Little Red looked at the move， my mother smiled。

Yes ah! Would it not everyone should be protected?

"Bumper harvest, bumper harvest!"!" Cried one of the fishermen, happily

jumping up like a child. After a while, the full cabin fish alive and kicking,

calm sea filled with coming from all sides of the fishermens

laughter.........

Now, like this "fish and shrimp full cabin" scene has been very rare. In

todays market, is the most common fish pound at least to dozens of yuan, more

serious pollution of the ocean, the ocean resources gradually dried up, seafood

production, prices rise, it illustrates this point?

In the ocean of natural calamities and man-made misfortunes emerge in an

endless stream today, human pollution is often not from the original intention,

but it is caused by the unexpected effect. The British Petroleum oil, because

the drilling platform explosion, caused by the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico,

to 9900 square kilometers of sea water is seriously polluted, so that tens of

thousands of seabirds soaked in oil to move, die in hunger and misery, makes

countless fish poisoning death; and the Japanese earthquake and tsunami

triggered a nuclear leak the marine pollution is more serious......

The sea is so vast that it is because the rivers and streams flow into the

Yangtze River and then run into the sea. If we do not solve the pollution

problem from the source, then no matter how people clean up the sea, there will

always be sewage flowing into the sea, and all the efforts will be futile. Now,

streams and streams are often seriously polluted, or they become places where

people dump rubbish or are loaded with pesticide cans. Finding a clear stream in

an inhabited area can be very difficult today!

In any case, the protection of the oceans can not be achieved by individual

forces, and the protection of the oceans depends on the joint efforts of all

mankind. I do not want one day in the future, our descendants can only imagine

the image of the vast and wide sea.

This is not only the wish of a pupil, but also the wish of all mankind,

isnt it?

这个暑假，我参加了我们学校组织的励志夏令营去游北京。

我们乘坐了15个小时的火车，终于来到了繁华、美丽的北京。我们要去的第一个地方是故宫。

一到故宫，映入眼帘的是人山人海的景象。我看见故宫门口红墙金瓦，可壮观了！我们进去之后，人更多了，从远处看，好像一群又一群的蚂蚁。

走着走着，我觉得脚下的路，颇不平整。这是为什么呢？许多个疑问在我的脑海里浮现。这时，导游为我们讲解道：“为什么这路是不平的呢？不是因为皇上没有钱来重新造这条路， 而是皇帝防止有人来行刺，所以在地下还铺了十五层这样的路面。”

导游又指了指周围的18口大缸，问我们：“你们知道这18口大缸是有什么作用吗？”“不知道!”大家异口同声地说。导游耐心地解释：“这18口大缸是用来灭火的。因为皇宫都是用木材建造的，很容易引起火灾，所以这18口缸里都会装水，方便灭火用。”噢，大家才恍然大悟。

不知不觉地，走到出口。我们坐着大巴恋恋不舍地离开了这壮观的皇宫。

My summer holiday begun on July 7th.I love summer holiday because I dont

have to go to school and I can enjoy myself with my friends.I often spend the

mornings doing my homework.And I always watch TV in the afternoon at home

because its very hot outside.And in the evening,I go swimming with my family

and then hang out with my friends.I love swimming very much.

My plan for August is travelling.I travel with my family every summer

holiday.I like travelling because I can go to different places and meet

different people.Sometimes I make good friends during the journey.And its very

sad to say goodbye to them when the journey ends.

In my family, there are only three people, my parents and I. because of my

parents’ work, they could only have one child at that time, so I don’t have any

siblings. I felt so lonely when my parents went out for their work. Now the

government changed their policy, people can have the second child. But some

people refuse because they think they can’t afford it. Despite the expense,

there are many advantages to have the second child. For one thing, the only

child can have someone company, so they won’t feel lonely on the process of

growing up. For another thing, two kids will help each other, they can share

things together. Learning to share things is a very important lesson for

children. In Chinese tradition, more kids, more better, but I think two are

perfect for the family.

The new term is coming. I am so excited because in the new term, I will be

a Grade 8 student. In the new term, I will have some new teachers. As for me, I

want to make a difference in the new term, so I have made a plan for it.First,

my Chinese and English are the best and I will work hard to keep them good as

usual. But my math and physics are not as good as Chinese and English.

Therefore, I have to try my best to improve them. Except preview and finishing

homework, I have to review regularly to strengthen knowledge. Second, I will pay

more attention to news, so that I will read more newspapers and watch news

program. I dont want to be a student who just study only. Last, I will do

exercise twice a week. Badminton and table tennis are my favorites. All in all,

I look forward to my life in Grade 8.

What is the definition of success? I believe different people will have

different opinions about it. If anyone asks me what is success for me, I will

tell him progress is success for me. I can have small goal or great aim in my

whole life. If the goal what I set is too large for me, I will not taste the

feeling of success. Or I always set small goals, so I will feel success all the

time, which may make me become autophilia and without ambitions. Therefore, I

think if I can be better than yesterday or last time, then I am successful.

It is 4,000 years since the Chinese began to grow and drink tea.

There’re many kinds of tea in China, of which Longjing Tea is famous all

over the world.

Tea is usually drunk in tea sets. A tea set is made up of a tea pot and

some teacups, which are both made of china.

Most Chinese are fond of drinking tea. Tea is served not only at tea house

and restaurants but also at home. People also drink tea during breaks at offices

or factories.

Recently, the news reported that one special kind of rhino from Africa just

passed away, which meant the disappearance of this lovely creature. What a great

pity. The tragedy is caused by the damaged environment, while human being must

be blamed for it, because we have done so many bad things to pollute the

environment and make the nature lose its balance. In order to make up our faults

and save our offspring, it is in need of protecting the environment. As the

ordinary people, we can do the small things, such as do not throw away the

rubbish and join some activities to bring the world green, like planting trees.

Every small act can make a difference. Some day, when we live with the

environment friendly, what we do is worth.

I’m going to have a busy weekend! On Saturday, I’m going visit my friends by bike. Because I haven’t seen them for a long time. Then, I’m going to the bookstore on foot. I’m going to read lots of books there. On Sunday morning, I’m going to go for a walk. Then, in the afternoon, I’m going to go shopping with my mother. Then, in the evening, we are going to watch TV together. That will be fun! What about you? What are you going to do on the weekend?

我就要过一个忙绿的周末了!星期六的时候我会骑车去拜访我的朋友。因为我已经很久没见他们了。之后，我会走路去书店。我打算在书店里看很多的书。星期天早上，我打算去散散步。然后，下午的时候我会和妈妈去买东西。之后，我们晚上打算一起看电视。那肯定很有趣!你呢?周末你打算做什么呢?

Almost all people work hard for success, but not all people can success.

Many people ask how to make success. I think the answer is persistence. The way

to success is full of failure and difficulty. People should never give up when

meet them. If you give up, you can’t be successful. No matter how hard it is,

persistence must be there.

雄伟壮观的故宫博物院是世界闻名的皇家建筑群之一。

走进天安门，经过端门，午门，就来到太和门，一座高大的宫殿展现在我的眼前，这就是皇上办公的太和殿，经过太和殿就来到中和殿，过了中和殿就是保和殿。每个殿都有朱红的宫墙和大门，屋顶上盖的是黄色的琉璃瓦。过了保和殿，再拐个弯，就看到一个小门，进了门，向右看，就看见九龙壁，九龙壁上刻着九条龙，它们的颜色分别是白，蓝，黄，黑四种，它们的形状各异，没有哪两条是相同的。过了九龙壁，再从左边小门进去，就来到钟表室。当我进入钟表室时，我不禁愕然，分明是来到钟的王国，钟的海洋，大大小小的古钟鳞次栉比，琳琅满目，有红木人物风扇钟，铜镀金绿鲨鱼皮天文钟，铜壶滴漏，硬木雕花自名钟等，一共有钟表1000多种。过了钟表室，转个圈儿就来到御花园，御花园景色优美，四季都有花开，这一种花还没有谢，那一种又开了。花园中间有个假山，在周围小草的掩映下，假山更漂亮了。

故宫博物院到处有美丽的景色，说也说不尽，希望有机会你去细细赏玩。

Cell phones have become increasingly popular in china these days. wherever

you go you can see people using cell phones. many college students, even high

school students, have cell phones.

Cell phones have brought people a lot of benefits, but the most important

is that they are convenient. with cell phones in their hands, they can keep in

touch with anybody they want. if they want to get some information from the

internet, they can easily have their dream realized via cell phones too.

furthermore, if someone has a heart attack or a traffic accident, a call to

emergency hospital or to the police can quickly bring him the help he wants.

However, cell phones can also bring people problems. the most serious is

the electric wave radiation which is thought to be harmful to users brains.

another problem is that when people are having a meeting or having a class or at

a concert etc, the ring of the cell phone may interrupt others. so i think

people should use cellphones as little as possible and turn them off when they

are attending important meetings or attending classes.

周末，爸爸带着我去植物园游玩，我规划了一条与往常不同的路线。

我们从北门进入，首先映入眼帘的就是美丽的天鹅湖。天鹅湖的面积并不大，风景却别具一格。湖四周长着婀娜多姿的垂柳，水藻在阳光的照耀下，更是绿得可爱。天鹅湖的水很清，虽然没有太阳光的直接照射，却也可以看见河底的小卵石，水中还不时的有几只调皮的小鱼游来窜去。天鹅湖有时接待翩翩飞来的天鹅；有时平静的像一面明镜，照亮了我的心灵；还有时像个孩子一样跟水里的小鱼小虾做游戏。

参观完天鹅湖，我们往东边的小路一直走，路过纪念馆和望湖亭，就来到了郁金香园。这里年年花香四溢，令人陶醉不已。郁金香的颜色有红的、粉的、白的……红的似火，粉的像霞，白的如雪。这些郁金香有的含苞待放，像一只饱含墨汁的毛笔，想要在湛蓝的天空下描绘出迷人的春色；有的只开了两三片花瓣，好似一位位小女孩不敢在小朋友们面前展示出自己最美的一面；还有的已经完全怒放了，像一个个小花仙子在花丛间嬉戏打闹。

走完郁金香园，我们沿着湖边向西走，来到了一座小桥前，过了小桥往西，就来到了芍药园。这里的芍药还没有完全开放，一个个像高脚杯似的，感觉可以倒上一杯酒，畅饮今日。

出了芍药园，穿过松林，我们便出了北门。一路上，我看上去没有想任何事情，但脑子里却想着我游览过的每一处景点的美丽情形。

Dear Sarah,

I am terribly sorry to tell you that I am unable to attend your birthday

part next Thursday evening. That is owing to the fact that my younger brother

suddenly fell ill and was taken to a hospital this morning. I have to go there

immediately and take care of him. As told by the doctor in charge, it will take

around five days for him to recover and I have asked my boss for a leave.

I really regret that I cannot go to celebrate your birthday personally and

would miss the perfect chance of enjoying myself with all our old friends. I

have chosen a small gift for you and will send it to you tomorrow to show my

best wishes. Besides, please give my regards to our friends when you meet them

at the party.

Cordially,

Li Ming

I have to say that music really has a strong attractiveness to me.

Naturally, everyone can choose suitable music to listen to. However, when you

find a kind of music which can bring happiness to you, you will be surprised and

become excited. Music has a magical energy, and it can help people gain good

mood in a great extent.

When you feel sad, you can have a try to listen to soothing music. At

first, soothing music will let you calm down. You will find that you will play

much attention to the music, and then your sadness can be decreased. You will

enter music ocean. You can experience a baptism of your heart. It does not

matter that when you listen to soothing music and you want to cry, you should

just follow yourself feeling to have a thorough release. Music will give you

enough encourage to overcome difficulties.

Music also can double your happiness and arouse the fighting. For instance,

when you solve some very difficult situations and gain success eventually, you

will have a great mood. At this time, exciting music will witness your success.

You will feel satisfied. Music lets you remember the glorious moment and cherish

your success. Music can give you unlimited motivation to achieve goals，because

you still want to listen to glorious music.

In addition, music includes a lot of useful knowledge. People can learn

precious knowledge from music. Because there is different music, we can find out

that different nations have different music thoughts to express. And from music,

we can listen to music culture. Music culture will give you a deeper

understanding to learn foreign culture, such as foreign language, foreign

history and foreign traditional customs and so on. In a word, music has an

important effect on promoting society development.

Music indeed has a magical power to help people and society develop. I

believe that music will still continue to bring us many surprises. As the

development of society, great music will become more important.

October 1st is the national day of our country, which is a public holiday

for the whole country. It’s an important day that marks the beginning of PRC. On

that day, there are plenty of celebrations holding throughout the country, from

the central government to the general people. And public places, including big

squares, parks are decorated in festive theme. In recent years, the national

holiday means the golden week as well, which is a short holiday that all people

expect to. With the improvement of living standards, people have more money and

desire to travel and the golden week is a good chance for them. Besides, for

those people who would not go out, it’s a good time to have a good rest as well.

Therefore, the national day means a lot to the Chinese.

The end of the term is coming soon. All the students are preparing for the

final exam. Some students want to get the high mark by playing some tricks.

There is no meaning to do this. Honesty is very important, because it decides

what kind of person we will be. So we should behave ourselves well and our

parents will be proud of us.

Our Librar is a busy place.It is open every day from8:00--12:00 in the

morning and from 1:30--5:30 in the after-noon,except on Sundays.

The library contains a large variety of books. in it you will find both

literary and scientific and technical books in Chinese and in foreign

languages.In this building too,are reading-rooms with newspapers and

magazines.Perhaps English books account for over a half of those in foreign

lanuages.

We often go there to look for books which we want to borrow or to read

articles which we like to consult.Our library provides all useful reading matter

and reference materials according to our needs.Although we do not subscribe to

any magazines or newspapers,we are well informed about the recent developments

and new trends in the world as well as in our country.The library plays an

important role in our college life.
