Welcome Speech

Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen.

Welcome to Shanghai.

Please sit back and relax. Your luggage will be sent to the hotel by another bus, so you don’t have to worry about it.

Let me introduce my team first. Mr. Zhang is our driver. He has 25 years of driving under his belt, so you’re in very safe hands. Ms. Lin, a recent college graduate, is a trainee tour guide. My name is Gao Xiaoming, but you may just call me Gao, which is my surname. It means “tall”, though I’m 1.7 meters. We’re from the China International Travel Service, Shanghai Branch. On behalf of CITS Shanghai and my colleagues, I’d like to extend a warm welcome to you all.

During your stay in our city, Ms. Lin and I will be your local guides. We’ll do everything possible to make your visit a pleasant experience. If you have any problems or requests, please don’t hesitate to let us know.

You’re going to stay at the Sheraton H uating Hotel, a luxurious, five-star hotel. Although the hotel is not exactly in downtown Shanghai, it is strategically located with easy access to many tourist attractions. As you’ll be staying in our city for two and a half days, you will do well to remember the number of our bus. The number is 84176. Let me repeat: 84176.

The flight from San Francisco to Shanghai has taken you from the Western Hemisphere to the Eastern Hemisphere. The time difference between the two cities is 16 hours. Please reset your watches to Beijing standard time, which is 3:15 p. m. Although China spans five time zones, the entire country follows Beijing standard time.

There is one thing I must warn you again. You must not drink any tap water in the hotel, because unboiled water might make you ill.

I hope you enjoy your stay in my city.
