In such an era of cultural assimilation, when bulldozers nudge their way toward the increasingly fewer Beijing hutong and siheyuan, and Shanghai linong, it is not only the old city districts that are declining; the unique Chinese architecture, culture and lifestyle are vanishing with them. Fortunately, the vast territory of China is still dotted with old townscapes dating back thousands of years, carrying on the continuous history and civilization of China. Zhouzhuang, Fenghuang,Hongcun, Tongli, Pingyao, Luodai, Lijiang, Dali ...these old towns enjoy their own tranquility, far from the din of the cities, and exude their own distinctive flavor and delicacy without the pompous magnificence of imperial palaces. Their names are beautiful symbols of China because of their small picturesque bridges, flowing waters and local houses that have long been portrayed in Chinese ink and wash paintings, numerous exquisite brick,stone and wood carvings, arches erected to memorate chaste widows, a welter of ethnic customs of
万里长城上有关隘数十座,关关雄奇壮观,景色迥异。在河北省秦皇岛市东北,长城由山脉从北向南飞身而下,直捣渤海,形成“天下关”山海关,入海入即是的长城东端点----“老龙头”。此关山海相连,关城居中,呈四方形,挟两侧的墩堡、关隘沉稳拱立,有“一夫当关,万夫莫开”的气势。俯卧于北京西北50多公里处的燕山峡谷之中的,是京郊风景胜地居庸关。此关于明代修建,由两山夹峙其间。关城内遗有雕刻精美的云台。关沟中清溪萦绕,四击层峦叠嶂,以“居庸叠翠”跻身燕京八景。明长城的最西端嘉峪关,位于甘肃西部,是现存的长城关城中最完整的一处。

在甘肃省的版图上,位于黄河以西、祁连山脉与蒙古高原南缘隆起的北山之间,有一条长约一千公里,宽约数十里至百里的狭长地带,这就是的“河西走廊”。从这里往西,经过中亚,可以和南亚、西亚乃至整个欧洲联系起来。历史上,它曾是中西贸易最主要的通道,这条通道,被称为“丝绸之路”,它对世界文明的发展作出过重大贡献。敦煌,就处在河西走廊最西端。 1900年,一个偶然的机会,有一个叫王圆篆的道士,在敦煌莫高窟的一个洞窟里发现了数万卷经卷及文书。这位道士根本没有想到,他的这一发现,使敦煌这个从13世纪以后逐渐衰落的文明都市,再度引起全世界的广泛瞩目。
笔者生在北京,长在北京,半个多世纪过去了,大约算得上是个地道的“老北京”。北京城里最使人难以忘怀的是什么呢?就是那大大小小的、在南方被叫做街巷的胡同。每当我从外地特别是从外国出差归来的时候,最急于想见到的使是那一条条古朴的、幽雅的、熟悉的、亲切的胡同。或者说,只有见到了这些胡同才能算是回到了北京,回到了家。胡同与家分不开,北京与胡同分不开。意义上说,胡同就是北京的魂。
