As the birthplace of Taoism，Qingdao has a long history.Human settlement here dates back to some 6，000 years ago.In the Eastern Zhou Dynasty，the town of Jimo was established，which was then the second largest city in the Shandong region.After unifying China in 221 B.C.，Yingzheng，the First Emperor of the Qin Dynasty，thrice climbed to the top of the Langyatai Hill in the present satellite city of Jiaonan.Xu Fu，an official of the Qin Dynasty，set sailwith his fleet at the foot of the Langyatai Hill eastbound to Korea and Japan.Liu Che，one of the emperors during the Han Dynasty held sacrificial rites at the Jiaomen Palace at Mt.Buqi，which is now in Qingdao's Chengyang District.He also ordered nine temples to be constructed at Mt.Nügu along the Jiaozhou Bay，to worship God and his ancestors.By the end of the Qing Dynasty，Qingdao had grown into a prosperous town and was then known as Jiao'ao.Qingdao city was first established on June 14，1891，when the Qing government sent troops here.In November 1897，Germany occupied Qingdao by force on the pretext of the Juye Litigation over religious disputes.When the First World War broke out in 1914，Japanese invaders took over Qingdao and continued the colonial rule.Protests against the then Chinese government yielding to Japanese pressure and demands for the restoration of Chinese sovereignty over Qingdao ignited the famous May 4^th Movement in 1919.On December 10，1922，the Northern Warlord government regained control of Qingdao and established a government office for port commercial affairs.It was in July，1929 that Qingdao was granted the status of the Special City and in 1930 was officially renamed“Qingdao”.In January 1938，the Japanese troops invaded Qingdao again，but their occupation came to an end in September 1945 when the KMT government regained control of the city.On June 2，1949，Qingdao was liberated by the Chinese People's Liberation Army under the leadership of the Communist Party of China，putting an end to the five decades of turbulence and colonial rule.In 1986 Qingdao was authorized to exercise special State plans and was given the status equivalent to provincial economic administration.In 1994，Qingdao was included in China's list of15 vice-provincial-level cities.

各位朋友:早上好，歡迎您來到青島旅游。我是大家這次青島之行的導(dǎo)游。如果您有什么問題或者要求的話，請告訴我。我會盡最大的努力使您有一個舒適愉快的旅程。現(xiàn)在，我先簡單地給大家介紹一下青島的情況。

青島市地處山東半島南部，它的特點(diǎn)是獨(dú)一無二的大海、山脈及舒適氣候的融合。全市海岸線(含所屬海島岸線)總長為862.64千米，其中大陸岸線730.64千米，占山東省海岸線的1/4。海岸線曲折，岬灣相間。

青島包含七區(qū)五市，全市總面積為10654平方千米，人口為731.12萬。市區(qū)面積為1102平方千米，人口258.4萬。

青島地處北溫帶季風(fēng)區(qū)域，屬溫帶季風(fēng)氣候。市區(qū)由于海洋環(huán)境的直接調(diào)節(jié)，受來自洋面上的東南季風(fēng)及海流、水團(tuán)的影響，故又具有顯著的海洋性氣候特點(diǎn)?？諝鉂駶櫍炅砍渑?，溫度適中，四季分明。春季氣溫回升緩慢，較內(nèi)陸遲1個月;夏季濕熱多雨，但無酷暑;秋季天高氣爽，降水少，蒸發(fā)強(qiáng);冬季風(fēng)大溫低，持續(xù)時間較長。

青島是一座歷史文化名城，中國道教的發(fā)祥地之一。6000年以前這里已有了人類的生存和繁衍。東周時期建立了當(dāng)時山東地區(qū)第二大市鎮(zhèn)--即墨。秦始皇統(tǒng)一中國后，曾三次登臨現(xiàn)位于青島膠南市的瑯琊臺。秦代徐福曾率船隊(duì)由瑯琊臺起航東渡朝鮮、日本。漢武帝劉徹曾在現(xiàn)位于青島市城陽區(qū)的不其山“祀神人于交門宮”，并在膠州灣畔女姑山祭天拜祖設(shè)立明堂9所。清朝末年，青島已發(fā)展成為一個繁華市鎮(zhèn)，昔稱膠澳。1891年6月14日，清政府在膠澳設(shè)防，是為青島建置的開始。1897年11月，德國以“巨野教案”為借口派兵強(qiáng)占青島。1914年第一次世界大戰(zhàn)爆發(fā)，11月，日本侵占青島，取代德國對青島進(jìn)行軍事殖民統(tǒng)治。1919年，中國近代史上著名的“五四運(yùn)動”便是以“收回青島”為起因。1922年12月10日，中國收回青島，設(shè)立膠澳商埠督辦公署，直屬北洋政府。1929年7月，設(shè)青島特別市。1930年，改稱青島市。1938年1月，日本再次侵占青島。1945年9月，國民黨政府接收青島，仍為特別市。1949年6月2日，青島解放。1986年青島市在國家計劃中實(shí)行單列，賦予相當(dāng)省一級經(jīng)濟(jì)管理權(quán)限。1994年被列為全國15個副省級城市之一。

青島是一座十分美麗的旅游城市，擁有優(yōu)美的風(fēng)景和宜人的氣候。早在1920年，青島就已經(jīng)是著名的旅游勝地了。曲折的海岸，巍峨的群山，歐式的紅頂房和綠色的樹木使這座城市變得獨(dú)一無二。歷史景區(qū)和不斷完善的現(xiàn)代化設(shè)置更增添了青島的魅力。青島是集觀光、度假、商務(wù)和展覽于一體的現(xiàn)代化城市。

青島市區(qū)，西部為“紅瓦綠樹，碧海藍(lán)天”的老風(fēng)貌保護(hù)區(qū)，東部為現(xiàn)代化建筑風(fēng)貌區(qū)，新、老兩區(qū)相融相映，形成了“海上都市、歐亞風(fēng)情”的城市形象。漫步在海邊，游客能夠欣賞到城市美麗的海景。從西到東，整個風(fēng)景區(qū)可以分為以下四個各具特色的部分。

歐亞風(fēng)情區(qū):這一區(qū)域包含了很多自然和文化交相輝映的景點(diǎn)。這個有著一個世紀(jì)歷史的老城是東西方文化相結(jié)合的產(chǎn)物。外國風(fēng)情的別墅和優(yōu)美的海灘形成了一個獨(dú)一無二的歐亞文化區(qū)域。這里包含了超過20個國家的西式建筑風(fēng)格。典型的有前德國統(tǒng)治者的居住樓和辦公樓，天主教教會，馬丁·路德教堂，八大關(guān)別墅區(qū)等。這些地區(qū)一年到頭都有很多新婚夫婦、攝影者和游客參觀游覽。

東部的旅游景區(qū)有東海路、香港路、澳門路、文化名人雕塑園、五四廣場和音樂廣場等，洋溢著濃郁的現(xiàn)代氣息。

石老人國家旅游度假區(qū)有獨(dú)一無二的觀光別墅、飯店，優(yōu)良的海灘和許多文化、運(yùn)動設(shè)施，如弄海園、海上樂園、國際啤酒城、國際美食娛樂城、國際高爾夫球場、環(huán)字國際城、體育中心、海洋公園、浮山公園、現(xiàn)代藝術(shù)中心等，都是游客不可錯過的地方。所有這些將隨著度假、娛樂、展覽和運(yùn)動競賽的便利條件使青島成為一個全面發(fā)展的觀光旅游地。

嶗山國家風(fēng)景區(qū)位于青島市區(qū)東部黃海之濱，主峰海拔1133米。嶗山以中國沿海第一宗教山脈和道教的發(fā)源地而聞名于世。嶗山被國務(wù)院命名為國家旅游風(fēng)景區(qū)，由9個風(fēng)景游覽區(qū)、5個風(fēng)景恢復(fù)區(qū)和周圍一些風(fēng)景區(qū)組成，是國家4A級旅游示范區(qū)。嶗山氣候濕潤。是道家的重要傳播之地，被譽(yù)為“道教全真天下第二叢林”。山中奇形怪狀的巖石很像各種各樣的生物，所以嶗山以自然雕塑公園而聞名。古老的樹木，罕見的植物和豐富的自然資源，特別是礦泉水和水下的玉石已經(jīng)使嶗山遠(yuǎn)近聞名。

青島市郊也有大量自然景觀和風(fēng)景勝地。在著名的瑯琊臺旅游勝地，越王勾踐會見大臣和王子的遺跡均有所保存。這里也是秦始皇三次游歷的地方;徐福東渡到日本也是在這里始行的。田橫島是一個具有歷史意義的島嶼，早在兩千多年前就曾經(jīng)發(fā)生過驚天動地的故事:秦末漢初，齊王田橫屬下的五百壯士，寧死不降劉邦，為赴大義，集體自刎于島上。平度天柱山的摩崖刻石，為稀有的書法石刻藝術(shù)瑰寶。這里還有馬山國家級自然保護(hù)區(qū)、修建于春秋(公元前770～前476年)時的齊長城遺跡等景點(diǎn)。

我的介紹到此就結(jié)束了，謝謝您的合作，我希望我的介紹能夠給大家?guī)硎斋@和樂趣。祝您一路平安，身體健康。
