Though I have not visited this place in person, but I would definitely love to be there someday. I mostly learned about this place from one of my friends who visited there and from TV, internet and newspapers.

Machu Picchu is located in Machupicchu District in southern Peru and it is historically connected with the 15th-century Inca civilization. It is located in 2,430 meters or around 7,970 feet area above the sea level. This place lies on top of a mountain and is a very popular destination for the tourist all around the world. This place is referred as the "Lost city of the Incas" and it was named as one of the 7 wonders of the world in 2007. UNESCO nominated it as a world heritage in the year 1983.

This historic place was built as an estate for the Pachacuti emperor of the Inca civilization in around 1450, and is considered as the most significant and familiar icon of the Inca civilization.

A tourist can see the finest work of the Inca civilization there and can learn many thing about this civilization. Apart from the ruins and cultural icons, one can enjoy the great beauty surrounding this place. The sunset time is awesome and eye witnessing the hills is something unforgettable.

The Condor, Steps , Falling stairs, Temples, Sacred Rock, Llamas and other Animals, Inca Trail will all blow your mind and would remind you that you are visiting one of the 7 wonders of the world.

This is an interesting place due to the vast area and iconic meaning of the Inca civilization. There are a lot to see, a lot to do and enjoy and being at one of the 7 wonders of the world is something a visitor will never forget. This place takes us to the past, in the time when Inca nation were there, and taught us how advanced they were as they have been able to build such a place with virtually no technological advancement of modern technology.

This was the center of the ( a civilization name...) civilization and was one of the most prominent cities of our country. More than several hundred feet had to be dug to discover it.

Now the place has been renovated to reflect the city it once been. There are more than hundred acres of places in this site and most of them are the remaining of the lost civilization and city of that time. There are several old buildings, castles, fortress, monuments, rivers, canons, cryptic houses, under paths and sculptures are there. A museum was built as recently as 10 years ago for the visitors to learn more about this lost city and people. The museum is a really good one in terms of its collection and reflection of that civilization.

To me, this was interesting because of the proof of advancement this civilization had. I have read a lot about this civilization and cultures of these people and visiting this place was a really good experience. The museum was very rich in terms of learning history.

雅思口语之名胜古迹

紫禁城

The Forbidden City was the Chinese imperial palace from the mid-Ming Dynasty to the end of the Qing Dynasty. It is located in the middle of Beijing, China and now houses the Palace Museum. For almost five centuries, it served as the home of the Emperor and his household, and the ceremonial and political centre of Chinese government.

长城。

The Great Wall of China is a series of stone and earthen fortifications in China, built, rebuilt, and maintained between the 6th century BC and the 16th century to protect the northern borders of the Chinese Empire during the rule of successive dynasties. Several walls, referred to as the Great Wall of China, were built since the 5th century BC. The most famous is the wall built between 220–200 BC by the first Emperor of China, Qin Shi Huang; little of it remains; it was much farther north than the current wall, which was built during the Ming Dynasty

兵马俑。The Terracotta Army are the Terracotta Warriors and Horses of Shi Huang Di the First Emperor of China. The terracotta figures, dating from 210 BC, were discovered in 1974 by several local farmers near Xi'an, Shaanxi province, China near the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor . The figures vary in height (184–197cm - 6ft–6ft 5in), according to their role, the tallest being the Generals. The figures include warriors, chariots, horses, officials, acrobats, strongmen, and musicians. Current estimates are that in the three pits containing the Terracotta Army there were over 8,000 soldiers, 130 chariots with 520 horses and 150 cavalry horses, the majority still buried in the pits.

泰山。

Mount Tai (Chinese: 泰山; pinyin: Tài Shān) is a mountain of historical and cultural significance located north of the city of Tai'an, in Shandong Province, China. The tallest peak is Jade Emperor Peak (simplified Chinese: 玉皇顶; traditional Chinese: 玉皇顶; pinyin: Yùhuáng Dīng), which is commonly reported as 1545 metres (5069 feet) tall[1], but is described by the Chinese government as 1532.7 metres (5028.5 feet)[2].

Mount Tai is one of the "Five Sacred Mountains of Taoism". It is associated with sunrise, birth, and renewal, and is often regarded the foremost of the five. The temples on its slopes have been a destination for pilgrims for 3,000 years.

黄山。

The Huangshan (Chinese: 黄山; pinyin: Huángshān; literally Yellow Mountain) is a mountain range in southern Anhui province in eastern China. The area is very famous for its scenic beauty, which lies in the peculiar shapes of the granite peaks, in the weather-shaped Huangshan Pine trees, and in views of the clouds from above. The area also has hot springs and natural pools. The Huang Shan are a frequent subject of traditional Chinese paintings and literature. Today, they are a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of China's most popular tourist destinations.

雅思口语话题：描述一个你去过的历史建筑

今天，给大家带来的口语话题依旧是一道雅思口语非常高频的地点类话题，Describe a historical building you have been to. 描述一个你去过的历史建筑。看到这个话题，不仅让我们再次感到颤抖，因为很多同学们对于历史建筑类的话题感到非常棘手，因为平时自己对历史不太感兴趣，相关的历史建筑方面的素材积累和背景知识储备也不是很全面，没关系，今天我将在这篇文章中来帮助大家搭建好这个话题的思路，更重要的是，来给大家提供一些我亲自去过的来自世界各地的历史建筑的语料和素材，来帮大家进行一场穿越历史长河的头脑风暴。

首先，我们还是先按照我们经典的5w方法来一起把这个话题的框架给搭建起来。When：你是什么时候去参观这个历史建筑的?哪一年?或者是在什么特殊的节日?当然这里的when也完全可以理解为这个建筑是什么时间什么朝代建成的?它有多长的历史了? Where：这个建筑位于哪里?哪个国家?哪个城市?距离你的家乡有多远?你是如何到达这个地方的?这里是否非常容易到达(accessible)?Who：这个建筑是谁设计的?是为了纪念谁而建造的?或者是说你跟谁一起去参观的这个建筑呢?What：这个建筑有什么特点?外形方面?历史地位?或者是这个建筑的功能和作用是什么?它是一座皇宫还是一座陵墓?是一个宗教场所(教堂/佛寺/清真寺)还是一座古老的城堡?Why：这个建筑有哪些地方给你留下了很深刻的印象?为什么你会选择介绍这个历史建筑呢?它为什么有如此崇高的历史地位呢?这里一定要把原因阐释清楚。

搭建好思路和提纲之后呢，下面我们来一起看一看这个话题有哪些比较合适恰当的素材。首先我们还是要审题，既然是historical building历史建筑，那么这个建筑肯定要有相对比较长的历史，必须是很久之前建成的。题目要求中并没有强调是国内的或者是国外的建筑，因此，这个话题的素材面还是很宽泛的，我们可以选择东西方的历史建筑作为例子。这里有一点需要强调一下，关于历史建筑，我们可以讲其分为几个大类：祭祀场所，陵墓/宗教场所/城市遗址/皇宫/古代的公共场所等。下面，我们从祭祀场所或者陵墓开始聊起吧，我会给大家提供一些素材并进行背景知识的介绍和相关历史的普及。

01祭祀场所/陵墓

一提到祭祀场所或者是陵墓，我们脑海中肯定会浮现出大量的国内的例子，我们从身边的南京明孝陵开始聊起。明孝陵位于南京市玄武区紫金山南麓独龙阜玩珠峰下，东毗中山陵，南临梅花山，位于钟山风景名胜区内，是明太祖朱元璋与其皇后的合葬陵寝。因皇后马氏谥号“孝慈高皇后”，又因奉行孝治天下，故名“孝陵”。

明孝陵作为中国明清皇陵之首，代表了明初建筑和石刻艺术的最高成就，直接影响明清两代五百余年20多座帝王陵寝的形制，依历史进程分布于北京、湖北、辽宁、河北等地的明清皇家陵寝，均按南京明孝陵的规制和模式营建，在中国帝陵发展史上有着特殊的地位，故而有“明清皇家第一陵”的美誉。

此外，我们还可以说北京的天坛(the Heaven Temple)，天坛始建于明永乐十八年(1420年)，清乾隆、光绪时曾重修改建。为明、清两代帝王祭祀皇天、祈五谷丰登之场所。天坛是圜丘、祈谷两坛的总称，有坛墙两重，形成内外坛，坛墙南方北圆，象征天圆地方。在北京，还有很多其他的历史建筑，尤其是祭祀场所或者是皇帝的陵墓，例如明十三陵等。

我们还可以讲西安的秦始皇陵/兵马俑。兵马俑是第一批全国重点文物保护单位，第一批中国世界遗产，位于今陕西省西安市临潼区秦始皇陵以东1.5千米处的兵马俑坑内。秦始皇兵马俑陪葬坑坐西向东，三坑呈品字形排列。最早发现的是一号俑坑，呈长方形，坑里有8000多个兵马俑，四面有斜坡门道。1987年，秦始皇陵及兵马俑坑被联合国教科文组织批准列入《世界遗产名录》，并被誉为“世界第八大奇迹” [4] ，先后有200多位外国元首和政府首脑参观访问，成为中国古代辉煌文明的一张金字名片，被誉为世界十大

古墓稀世珍宝之一。

当然，在国外也有很多著名的祭祀场所或者陵墓，例如埃及的金字塔，埃及金字塔是古埃及的帝王(法老)陵墓。世界七大奇迹之一。数量众多，分布广泛。开罗西南尼罗河西古城孟菲斯一带的金字塔是占有集中的一部分。埃及共发现金字塔96座，最大的是开罗郊区胡夫的三座金字塔。约从公元前3500年开始，尼罗河两岸陆续出现几十个奴隶制小国。

约公元前3100年，初步统一的古代埃及国家建立起来。古埃及国王也称法老，是古埃及最大的奴隶主，拥有至高无上的权力。他们被看做是神的化身。他们为自己修建了巨大的陵墓金字塔，金字塔就成了法老权力的象征。因为这些巨大的陵墓外形形似汉字的“金”字，因此我们将其称之为“金字塔”。在哈夫拉金字塔前，还有一尊狮身人面像守卫着法老们的陵墓。此外，在埃及还有图坦卡蒙陵墓，这是3300年来惟一一个完好无缺的法老陵墓，也是埃及最豪华的陵寝，更是埃及考古史乃至世界考古史上最伟大的发现。文物无可比拟的历史价值和所蕴涵的谜团使图坦卡蒙陵墓排在世界十大宝藏的第一位。

其实大家有所不知，金字塔不仅仅存在于埃及，也不仅仅是陵墓，在拉丁美洲的墨西哥也发现了金字塔，而这里的金字塔不是陵墓，而是祭祀场所。位于墨西哥提奥提华坎遗迹，被发现了著名的太阳金字塔(Pirámide del Sol)和月亮金字塔(Pirámide del Luna)，太阳金字塔是古印第安人祭祀太阳神的地方，它建筑宏伟，呈梯形，坐东朝西，正面有数百级台阶直达顶端。内部用泥土和沙石堆建，从下到上各台阶外表都镶嵌着巨大的石板，石板上雕刻着五彩缤纷的图案。在墨西哥的尤卡坦半岛的中东部，也发现了奇琴伊察金字塔(Chichén Itzá)。

02.宗教场所

关于宗教场所，在这里主要跟大家介绍一下来自国外的著名的宗教场所。我们会以世界三大宗教(基督教，伊斯兰教和佛教)为例子，当然我们还会补充印度教和犹太教等。基督教的主要集会场所当属教堂了，那么世界上历史很悠久的教堂有很多，而当中绝大多数又都位于欧洲，接下来给大家介绍几个我去过的很出名的教堂。

首先就是位于意大利米兰的米兰大教堂(Duomo di Milano)。它是意大利著名的天主教堂，规模位居世界第二，于1386年开工建造，1500年完成拱顶，1774年最高的哥特式塔尖上的镀金圣母玛丽亚雕像由Giuseppe Perego建造，是米兰市的象征。整个教堂1965年完工，历时五个世纪。距今已有2000多年的历史。拿破仑曾于1805年在米兰大教堂举行加冕仪式。

其次，位于西班牙的塞维利亚大教堂也是很棒的例子，圣彼得大教堂(St. Peter's Basilica Church)又称圣伯多禄大教堂、梵蒂冈大殿。由伯拉孟特、米开朗基罗等建筑师不断设计并完善，是位于梵蒂冈的一座天主教宗座圣殿，建于1506年至1626年，为天主教会重要的象征之一。作为最杰出的文艺复兴建筑和世界上最大的教堂，其占地23,000平方米，可容纳超过六万人。最后，位于巴勒斯坦约旦河西岸城市伯利恒的圣诞教堂绝对是重头戏。圣诞教堂被认为是自基督教早期以来，经过漫长的风风雨雨和沧桑磨难，仍然得到几乎完好保存的为数寥寥的建筑之一，具有很高的文化价值。距今已有2500年的历史，也被认为是耶稣的诞生地!

说完教堂，我们再来一起看看伊斯兰教的代表建筑：清真寺。首当其冲的当然是位于沙特阿拉伯的麦加大清真寺。麦加大清真寺位于沙特阿拉伯麦加城中心，规模宏伟，经几个世纪以来的扩建和修葺，特别是沙特时代的扩建，总面积已扩大到18万平方米，可容纳50万穆斯林同时作礼拜。距今已有1000多年的历史，是世界各国穆斯林向往的地方和去麦加朝觐礼拜的圣地。

此外，我们也可以讲位于以色列耶路撒冷的圆顶清真寺(The dome of the rock)，又称为金顶清真寺。它一直是耶路撒冷最著名的标志之一。自公元7世纪修建以来，一千多年里几经翻修，1994年由约旦国王侯赛因出资650万美元为这个圆顶覆盖上了24公斤纯金箔，使它彻底名扬天下，圆顶清真寺由木屋顶变成了今天美丽的金色穹顶。它是穆斯林伟大的先知默罕默德升天之地。

我们再来一起看一看佛教。世界上有很多知名的佛寺，今天跟大家分享一下位于柬埔寨的吴哥窟(Angkor Wat)，又称吴哥寺，是世界上最大的庙宇类建筑，同时也是世界上最早的高棉式建筑，修建于1140年，吴哥窟是吴哥古迹最精华的部分，也是柬埔寨早期建筑风格的代表。1992年联合国教科文组织将吴哥古迹列入世界文化遗产。此后吴哥窟作为吴哥古迹的重中之重，成为了柬埔寨一张亮丽的旅游名片。

此外，我们还可以说位于印度尼西亚的世界闻名的婆罗浮屠(Borobudur)，大约修建于公元750年至850年间，由当时统治爪哇岛的夏连特拉王朝统治者兴建，意思是“山顶的佛寺”。后来因为火山爆发，使这佛塔群下沉、并隐盖于茂密的热带丛林中近千年，直到19世纪初才被清理出来。婆罗浮屠与中国的长城、印度的泰姬陵、柬埔寨的吴哥窟并称为古代东方四大奇迹。

此外，我们还可以了解一下印度教神庙普兰巴南神庙(PrambananTemple)，它位于印度尼西亚日惹市，由250座大大小小的陵庙组成，建于公元900年左右，是为埋藏当时国王及王后骨灰而修建的。是印尼最宏伟壮丽的印度教寺庙，是世界建筑、雕刻和绘画艺术史上一颗璀璨的明珠。最后，位于以色列的哭墙(Western Wall)又名西墙，则是犹太教如心中的圣地。千百年来，流落在世界各个角落的犹太人回到圣城耶路撒冷时，便会来到这面石墙前低声祷告，哭诉流亡之苦，所以被称为“哭墙”。距今已有超过两千年的历史了。

03.城市遗址

说到城市遗址，这里指的是古老城市因灾害或者战争而残存下来的城市遗迹。首先，我们来一起看一下位于南美洲秘鲁库斯科市的马丘比丘(Machu Picchu)!整个遗址高耸在海拔约2350米的山脊上，俯瞰着乌鲁班巴河谷，为热带丛林所包围，是秘鲁著名的前哥伦布时期印加帝国建于约公元1500年的遗迹，也是世界新七大奇迹之一。马丘比丘在克丘亚语中为“古老的山”之义，也被称作“失落的印加城市“。

整个遗迹由约140个建筑物组成，包括庙宇、避难所、公园和居住区。马丘比丘的全部建筑都是印加传统风格：磨光的规则形状的墙，以及美妙的接缝技巧，墙上石块和石块之间的缝隙连匕首都无法放进去，让人简直无法理解印加人是究竟如何把他们拼接在一起的。

此外，我们还可以说伊朗的波斯波利斯(Perspolis)古城遗址，这里是波斯阿契美尼德王朝的第二个都城。建于大流士一世(公元前522-前486年在位)时期，其遗址发现于设拉子东北52公里的塔赫特贾姆希德附近。城址东面依山，其余三面有围墙。主要遗迹有大流士王的接见厅与百柱宫等。1979年联合国教科文组织将波斯波利斯作为文化遗产。最后，我们也可以讲位于约旦的佩特拉古城。佩特拉古城(公元前9年—公元40年)，是约旦南部的一座历史古城，它是约旦南部沙漠中的神秘古城之一，也是约旦最负盛名的古迹区之一。

它几乎是全在岩石上雕凿而成，佩特拉遗址的岩石带有珊瑚宝石般的微红色调，在阳光照射下熠熠发亮。特殊的地貌使它呈现出绝美的颜色，所以又被称为“玫瑰古城”。

04.皇宫

提到皇宫，在这里首先给大家介绍的是我国的布达拉宫，位于西藏拉萨西北的玛布日山上，是著名的宫堡式建筑群，藏族古建筑艺术的精华。始建于公元7世纪，是藏王松赞干布为远嫁西藏的唐朝文成公主而建。全部为石木结构，5座宫顶覆盖镏金铜瓦，金光灿烂，气势雄伟。

此外，放眼世界，我们还可以说位于俄罗斯莫斯科的克里姆林宫(Kremlin)，曾为莫斯科公国和十八世纪以前的沙皇皇宫，十二月革命胜利后，成为党政领导机关驻地。1156年始建，后屡经扩建，为一古老建筑群，主要有大克里姆林宫、圣母升天教堂、政府大厦，伊凡大钟楼等。宫内塔楼是装有五角红宝石星。现亦作为俄罗斯政府的代称。

还有法国的凡尔赛宫，凡尔赛宫是法国封建时期帝王的行宫，在巴黎市西南凡尔赛城，是世界上最大的宫殿单体建筑。始建于十六世纪，后屡经扩建形成现存规模。包括宫前大花园、宫殿和放射形大道三部分。形体对称，轴形东西向。宫内装潢极其豪华，内壁悬挂壁毯、油画、雕刻，大厅内陈列著名雕刻家的青铜或大理石雕像，享有艺术宫殿之盛誉。还有位于土耳其伊斯坦布尔的托普卡普皇宫(Topkapi Palace)，这里是从15世纪到19世纪奥斯曼帝国的中心。这迷宫般的豪华至极的地方，是当年苏丹们办公的地方。宫殿外侧是绿木葱郁的第一庭院，原本是宫廷餐室的第二庭院，现在成为帝国时代水晶制品、银器以及中国陶瓷器的藏馆。其景色被称为博斯普鲁斯海峡最杰出的一角。

05.公共娱乐场所

其实，提到古代的公共娱乐场所，大家可能一下子想不到太多很恰当的例子，但是看完了我的分享，大家一定会恍然大悟的。

首先给大家带来的就是一出非常经典的历史建筑，位于意大利罗马的角斗场(Colosseum)罗马角斗场又称为弗莱文圆形剧场，处在意大利首都罗马市内台伯河东岸，为古罗马的象征，被誉为"世界八大奇迹"之一。

角斗场建于公元72-79年，强迫8万名犹太俘虏作劳役，用工8年完成。整个建筑占地2万平方米，周长527米，可容纳9万观众。据说当年角斗场开幕时，共用5000头狮子、老虎等猛兽和由3000名奴隶、俘虏、罪犯及受宗教迫害的基督教徒组成的角斗士，在此持续进行了100天的表演。它是罗马帝国征服耶路撒冷后，为纪念皇帝威斯巴西安的丰功伟绩而建的，甚至一直影响着现代大型体育场的建筑。

此外，我们还可以讲位于希腊首都雅典的帕特农神庙(Parthenon temple )。它位于雅典卫城的古城堡中心、石灰岩的山岗上，耸峙着一座巍峨的矩形建筑物，神庙矗立在卫城的最高点，神庙历经两千多年的沧桑之变，如今庙顶已坍塌，雕像荡然无存，浮雕剥蚀严重，但从巍然屹立的柱廊中，还可以看出神庙当年的丰姿。

当然，如果大家对音乐感兴趣，一定听说过奥地利首都维也纳的金色大厅，全称为维也纳音乐协会金色大厅(Musikverein)这是维也纳最古老、最现代化的音乐厅，是维也纳也是世界上著名的音乐厅之一。金色大厅由T·冯·汉森始建于1867年，1869年竣工。是意大利文艺复兴式建筑。外墙黄红两色相间，屋顶上竖立着许多音乐女神雕像，古雅别致。金色大厅并非一座独立的建筑，而是音乐之友协会大楼的一部分，该建筑物中有多个音乐厅，除金色大厅外，还包括勃拉姆斯厅和莫扎特厅等演出大厅，以及办公室。金色大厅是维也纳音乐生活的支点，也是维也纳爱乐乐团的常年演出场地。

维也纳新年音乐会按照传统都会在这里举行，每年随着新年音乐会通过电视转播将该大厅金碧辉煌的装饰和无与伦比的音响效果展现在全世界的观众面前。

好了，今天给大家的分享就到此结束了，下面我为大家提供了一个巴黎圣母院的例子作为范文和参考，难度适中，希望对大家有所帮助。我们下期见。

Describe a historical building you have been to.

You should say,

When you visited this building

Where is it located

What it looks like

And explain your feeling about this building.

When it comes to the historical building that I have been to, I will definitely illustrate the Notre-Dame, which is located in Paris, France. I visited this building 6 months ago with my parents and other family members while we were touring around Europe as it has been regarded as one of the must-see places in France. To be frank, I didn't take it seriously before going there because I knew nothing except for the little information from the book “ the Hunchback of Notre Dame” and its adapted movie. But, when I was actually standing there, I was totally stunned by this grand Catholic cathedral. As is was in a bay area, its height made it quite an eye-catcher. What I have learned the most was about the cultural perspectives. There were so many religious elements that I had never heard about. For example, this article is from a particular website, some sculptures depicted some scenes of the last judgement from the Holy Bible such as weighing the souls, which was so interesting. Honestly speaking, I didn't get much exposure to Christianity, but there is indeed something equivalent like the King of Hell, who was also regarded as a power to weigh the good and the evil. Also, the interior design of it was breathtaking, so many beautiful mosaics about those sacred stories. Well, I argue that this historical building was so meaningful to me as it gave me a brand new perspective to the cynical world. You know, I also feel so sorry for the recent catastrophic fire that engulfed the upper reaches of this precious architecture of human civilization. i hope the renovation could be carried on as fast as possible and finish smoothly.
