Beijing architecture s-daly
1) The Forbidden City in Beijing was designed according to Feng Shui principles and symbolism. It served as the imperial palace during the Ming dynasty.
2) The architecture of the Forbidden City features golden yellow roof tiles, decorative dragons representing imperial power, and an axis running north to south with the Hall of Supreme Harmony at its center.
3) Chinese architecture emphasizes harmony with nature and uses symbolic elements like dragons, phoenixes, and lucky numbers to convey meaning rather than competing with nature through height or size of structures.
Sphinx gabe jose
The Sphinx is a monument located in Egypt with the head of a man and the body of a lion. It was built around 2558-2532 BCE by ancient Egyptians to guard the Great Pyramid of Giza. Made of limestone, the Sphinx has the body of a recumbent lion and the head of the pharaoh Khafre. Though its nose has broken off, it still lays at the Giza plateau near several other ancient structures from ancient Egypt.
The terra cotta army
The document discusses the Terra Cotta Army built for Qin Shihuangdi, the first emperor of China. It describes how in 221 BC, King Zheng united China and took the name Qin Shihuangdi. During his rule, a massive mausoleum complex and an army of over 7,000 life-size terra cotta soldiers and horses was constructed, demonstrating his immense power and control over China. The terra cotta army remains one of the most significant archaeological finds in world history.
Myths and legends: Sphinx of Giza
(1) According to an ancient Egyptian story, Prince Thutmose IV fell asleep by the Great Sphinx and dreamed that it promised to make him ruler of Egypt if he cleared the sand from its body. (2) Thutmose later became King Thutmose IV and placed a stela between the Sphinx's paws describing this dream. (3) However, some historians believe Thutmose concocted the dream to cover up murdering his brother to gain the throne, using the dream to convince Egyptians it was the will of the gods.
Terracotta Soldiers
The Terracotta Army consists of over 8,000 life-sized ceramic soldiers and horses buried near the tomb of Qin Shi Huang, the first emperor of a unified China, dating back to 210–209 BC. The figures vary in height according to their roles, with the tallest being the generals. The Terracotta Army was intended to protect the emperor in his afterlife, and was built by conscripted workers who were likely buried near the tombs after their work was completed.
The Leaning Tower Of Pisa
The Leaning Tower of Pisa is the freestanding bell tower of Pisa Cathedral in Pisa, Italy. Construction on the white marble tower began in 1173 but it began leaning due to a poor foundation on loose soil. Efforts to compensate for the lean as it was built added to the tilt, causing the tower to lean in the opposite direction and curve. Construction took over 200 years to complete the tower and harmonize its Gothic elements with the original Romanesque design. It currently leans at an angle of just under 4 degrees.
Great Wall
The Great Wall of China was originally built as separate defensive walls by different states to defend against invasions from the Huns in the north. Emperor Qin Shihuang connected these walls after unifying China to form the first "Great Wall". Sections have since been rebuilt and repaired. At over 4,500 miles long, the Great Wall winds across northern China and is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, becoming a symbol of Chinese culture and one of its most popular tourist destinations.

American Civil War ~ 1861-1865
The American Civil War lasted from 1861 to 1865 and was fought between the northern and southern states over the issues of slavery and states' rights. The war resulted in the end of slavery and the preservation of the United States as one country rather than a disjointed collection of individual states or confederacies.
Venice ~ Italy

San Francisco ~ USA
San Francisco in California, USA is the financial, cultural, and transportation centre of the San Francisco Bay Area, a region of 7.5 million people which includes San Jose and Oakland.
In 1776, colonists from Spain established a fort at the Golden Gate and a mission named for Francis of Assisi on the site. The California Gold Rush of 1849 propelled the city into a period of rapid growth, increasing the population in one year from 1,000 to 25,000, and thus transforming it into the largest city on the West Coast at the time. After three-quarters of the city was destroyed by the 1906 earthquake and fire, San Francisco was quickly rebuilt, hosting the Panama-Pacific International Exposition nine years later. During World War II, San Francisco was the port of embarkation for service members shipping out to the Pacific Theater. After the war, the confluence of returning servicemen, massive immigration, liberalizing attitudes, and other factors (Vietnam) led to the Summer of Love and the gay rights movement, cementing San Francisco as a centre of liberal activism in the United States.
Today, San Francisco is one of the top tourist destinations in the world, ranking 35th out of the 100 most visited cities worldwide, and is renowned for its chilly summer fog, steep rolling hills, eclectic mix of architecture, and its famous landmarks, including the Golden Gate Bridge and cable cars. The city is also a principal banking and finance centre, and the home to more than 30 international financial institutions, helping to make San Francisco rank 18th in the world's top producing cities, eighth in the United States, and twelfth place in the top twenty global financial centers.
The song 'San Francisco' (Be Sure to Wear Flowers in Your Hair) is a song, written by John Phillips of The Mamas & the Papas, and sung by Scott McKenzie.
It was written and released in 1967 to promote the Monterey Pop Festival. By June 1967, it commanded the number four spot on the Billboard Hot 100 in the United States. Meanwhile, the song rose to number one in the United Kingdom and most of Europe. The single is purported to have sold over 7 million copies worldwide. The song is credited with bringing thousands of young people to San Francisco, California during the late 1960s.
In Central Europe, young people adopted 'San Francisco' as an anthem for freedom, and it was widely played during Czechoslovakia's 1968 Prague Spring uprising.
Baku ~ Azerbaijan
Baku is the capital and largest city of Azerbaijan, as well as the largest city on the Caspian Sea and of the Caucasus region. It is located on the southern shore of the Absheron Peninsula, which projects into the Caspian Sea.
Baku boasts a vibrant nightlife. Many clubs that are open until dawn can be found throughout the city. Clubs with an eastern-style provide special treats from the cuisine of Azerbaijan along with local music. Western-style clubs target younger, more energetic crowds. Most of the public houses and bars are located near Fountains Square and are usually open until the early hours of the morning.
Baku is home to restaurants catering to every cuisine and occasion. Restaurants range from luxurious and expensive to ordinary and affordable.
In the 'Lonely Planet ~ 1000 Ultimate Experiences', Baku is placed 8th among the top 10 party cities in the world.
In recent years, the success of Azerbaijani performers such as Aysel, Safura, Elnur Huseynov and Arash in Eurovision has significantly boosted the profile of the Baku music scene, prompting international attention. Following the victory of Azerbaijan's representative Eldar & Nigar at the Eurovision Song Contest 2011,
Baku will host the Eurovision Song Contest 2012.
Joshua Tree National Park ~ USA
Joshua Tree National Park is located in southern California and features unique Joshua trees and desert scenery. The park covers around 800,000 acres and offers hiking trails, rock climbing, and opportunities to view wildlife and rare plants. Visitors can camp, enjoy scenic drives, and experience the beauty of the Mojave and Colorado desert ecosystems protected within the national park.
Banff National Park ~ Canada
Banff National Park is Canada's oldest national park, established in 1885 in the Rocky Mountains.
The park, located 110–180 km (68–110 mi) west of Calgary in the province of Alberta, encompasses 6,641 km2 (2,564 sq mi) of mountainous terrain, with numerous glaciers and ice fields, dense coniferous forest, and alpine landscapes. The Icefields Parkway extends from Lake Louise, connecting to Jasper National Park in the north. Provincial forests and Yoho National Park are neighbours to the west, while Kootenay National Park is located to the south and Kananaskis Country to the southeast. The main commercial centre of the park is the town of Banff, in the Bow River valley.
The Canadian Pacific Railway was instrumental in Banff's early years, building the Banff Springs Hotel and Chateau Lake Louise, and attracting tourists through extensive advertising. In the early 20th century, roads were built in Banff, at times by war internees, and through Great Depression-era public works projects. Since the 1960s, park accommodations have been open all year, with annual tourism visits to Banff increasing to over 5 million in the 1990s. Millions more pass through the park on the Trans-Canada Highway. As Banff is one of the world's most visited national parks, the health of its ecosystem has been threatened. In the mid-1990s, Parks Canada responded by initiating a two-year study, which resulted in management recommendations, and new policies that aim to preserve ecological integrity.
Huangshan ~ China
Huangshan (literally 'Yellow Mountain'), is a mountain range in southern Anhui province in eastern China.
The area is well known for its scenery, sunsets, peculiarly shaped granite peaks, Huangshan Pine trees, and views of the clouds from above. Huangshan is a frequent subject of traditional Chinese paintings and literature, as well as modern photography. It is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and one of China's major tourist destinations.
Having at least 140 sections open to visitors, Huangshan is a major tourist destination in China. In 2007, for instance, over 15 million tourists visited the mountain. The foot of the mountains is linked by rail and by air to Shanghai, and is also accessible from cities such as Hangzhou and Wuhu. As of 1990, there were over 50 kilometers of footpaths providing access to scenic areas for visitors and staffers of the facilities. Today there are also cable cars that tourists can use to ride directly from the base to one of the summits. Throughout the area there are hotels and guest houses that accommodate overnight visitors, many of whom hike up the mountains, spend the night at one of the peaks to view the sunrise, and then descend by a different route the next day.
Huangshan is known for its stone steps, carved into the side of the mountain, of which there may be more than 60,000 throughout the area.The date at which work on the steps began is unknown, but they have been said to be over 1,500 years old.
The hotels, restaurants, and other facilities at the top of the mountain are serviced and kept stocked by porters who carry resources up the mountain on foot, hanging their cargo from long poles balanced over their shoulders or backs.

A.为什么留学生需要操作留信认证?
留信认证全称全国留学生信息服务网认证,隶属于北京中科院。①留信认证门槛条件更低,费用更美丽,并且包过,完单周期短,效率高②留信认证虽然不能去国企,但是一般的公司都没有问题,因为国内很多公司连基本的留学生学历认证都不了解。这对于留学生来说,这就比自己光拿一个证书更有说服力,因为留学学历可以在留信网站上进行查询!
B.为什么我们提供的毕业证成绩单具有使用价值？
查询留服认证是国内鉴别留学生海外学历的唯一途径但认证只是个体行为不是所有留学生都操作所以没有办理认证的留学生的学历在国内也是查询不到的他们也仅仅只有一张文凭。所以这时候我们提供的和学校颁发的一模一样的毕业证成绩单就有了使用价值。乌龟和王八贼头贼脑的倒也逗人喜爱日上三竿时山娃总爱窜进自家瓜棚里跟小伙伴们坐着聊天聊着聊着便忍不住往瓜田里逡巡一番抱起一只硕大的西瓜用石刀劈开抑或用拳头砸开每人抱起一大块就啃啃得满嘴满脸猴屁股般的红艳大家一个劲地指着对方吃吃地笑瓜裂得古怪奇形怪状却丝毫不影响瓜味甜丝丝的满嘴生津遍地都是瓜横七竖八的活像掷满了一地的大石块摘走二三只爷爷是断然发现不了的即便发现爷爷也不恼反而教山娃辨认孰熟孰嫩孰甜孰淡水
