威尼斯是意大利北部一座世界闻名的岛城。威尼斯建立于公元 5 世纪，在公元

10世纪时成为一支重要的海上力量。在中世纪和文艺复兴时期，威尼斯曾是重要

的商贸中心，是当时欧洲极为富裕的城市，在政治和经济事务中居领导地位。几百

年的兴盛之后，威尼斯在 15 世纪开始衰落。如今，威尼斯被公认为是全世界最美

的城市之一，也是全世界最重要的旅游胜地之一。威尼斯的建筑风格丰富多样，

其中最出名的是哥特式风格。威尼斯还因历史上的几次重要的艺术运动而闻名，

特别是文艺复兴时期。威尼斯对建筑和艺术的发展影响巨大。至今，威尼斯仍对现

代艺术和流行文化的发展起着重要作用。 1987 年，威尼斯被列入《世界遗产名

录》。1980 年 3 月，威尼斯与中国苏州结为“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 is 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.
