[37:03.96]北京观光客自然都会游览 故宫和长城,这是因为故 宫和长城是举世闻名的旅 游景点.;

[37:15.78]而今天我却想向各位推荐 北京第三大旅游场所,北 京世界公园.;

[37:25.21]北京世界公园于90年代初 在北京兴建,是北京的新 景点之一.;

[37:34.78]这里游客那种:一日游尽 天下景"的梦想便可成真. 北京世界公园的规模雄踞 亚洲同类公园之冠,;

[37:54.59]世界七天大奇观以及50个 国家的约100处历史名胜 和自然景观均以微缩模型 展出.;

[38:05.65]占地面积46.7公顷的世界 公园分为17处风景区,;

[38:13.07]收集了亚洲、非洲、 欧洲、南北美洲以及大洋 洲的主要名胜景点。;

[38:22.40]游客可以在这里观赏法国 的凯旋门和埃菲尔铁塔、 英国伦敦的塔桥、;

[39:54.39]北京世界公园自开放以来 已吸引了许多海内游客前 来观赏美景。;

[43:51.35]这些湖泊有的隐匿在峡谷 中，有的镶嵌在原始森林 中。晴天时，湖底的水藻 和沉淀物在阳光的照射下;

[44:05.09]发射出一圈圈色彩斑谰的 光环，所以又被人们叫做 “五花海”;

[44:13.90]椐当的一个动人的传说， 很久以前，九寨沟的东山 上住着一位美丽善良的 女神，;
