威尼斯是意大利北部一座世界聞名的島城。威尼斯建立于公元5世紀(jì)，在公元10世紀(jì)時成為一支重要的海上力量。在中世紀(jì)和文藝復(fù)興時期，威尼斯曾是重要的商貿(mào)中心，是當(dāng)時歐洲極為富裕的城市，在政治和經(jīng)濟(jì)事務(wù)中居領(lǐng)導(dǎo)地位。幾百年的興盛之后，威尼斯在15世紀(jì)開始衰落。如今，威尼斯被公認(rèn)為是全世界最美的城市之一，也是全世界最重要的旅游勝地之一。威尼斯的建筑風(fēng)格豐富多樣，其中最出名的是哥特式風(fēng)格。威尼斯還因歷史上的幾次重要的藝術(shù)運動而聞名，特別是文藝復(fù)興時期。威尼斯對建筑和藝術(shù)的發(fā)展影響巨大。至今，威尼斯仍對現(xiàn)代藝術(shù)和流行文化的發(fā)展起著重要作用。1987年，威尼斯被列入《世界遺產(chǎn)名錄》。1980年3月，威尼斯與中國蘇州結(jié)為“友好城市”。

Lijiang is a mountainous city in northwest Yunnan Province. The old town of Lijiang, located at the foot of Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, is a town of scenic beauty and known for its history and culture. It’s also a well-preserved old town with features of ethnic minorities. The construction work of the old town was started from the Southern Song Dynasty about 800 years from now. Not only does Lijiang boast a long history, but also it boasts many ethnic minorities who make up over a half of the total population in the region. With the booming of Lijiang tourism, the old town of Lijiang is receiving a growing number of tourists from home and abroad. In December 1997, the old town succeeded in applying to be named a World Cultural Heritage Site, filling the gap of lacking a noted historical and cultural city in China on the World Cultural Heritage List.
