Tourism in the Isthmus of China and America

There are certain tourism resources in the Isthmus of China and America, mainly in two aspects.

First, natural scenery, including mountains, lakes and coasts, is famous for its volcanic landscape. For example, El Salvador's famous Santa Ana volcano, with an altitude of 238 1 m, is located in the south of Santa Ana, near the Pacific coast. In the past 200 years, this volcano has erupted from time to time, and the latest eruption occurred in 1966. When a volcano erupts, hot lava can light up the night sky, just like daytime, and become a natural lighthouse for China ships in the nearby Pacific Ocean, so it has the reputation of "China-US lighthouse". There is also a beautiful volcanic lake with fresh air, clear blue lake and good tourist facilities, which attracts a large number of foreign tourists. Costa Rica has the famous boas Volcano and Erasmus Volcano. Boas volcano is located in the southeast of the capital, San Jose, with an altitude of 2,900 meters. The steam from the crater with the largest and highest fountain in the world forms a mist over the volcano, giving people a mysterious feeling. The Erasmus volcano, which is 3432 meters above sea level in the east of the capital, has frequently erupted in recent decades. After the eruption of 1978 in September, a crater with a diameter of 1400 meters and a depth of 324 meters was formed. From here, you can see a panoramic view of the Caribbean or the Pacific Ocean. In addition, nicaragua lake has beautiful lakes and mountains. Lake Atitlan in the southwest of Guatemala City is considered to be the most beautiful volcanic lake in the world. The world's second largest barrier reef on the coast of Belize and the country's eight wildlife reserves (especially the world's only jaguar and red-footed boobies) are famous tourist attractions.

Second, historical and cultural sites, landscapes and modern artificial buildings. There are a large number of ancient Indian civilization and colonial relics and sites in this area. Tikal is a famous relic of the ancient Mayan city of Guatemalan Indians, located in the virgin forest of Piten Lake in the northeast of Piten Province. The city was built from the 3rd century BC to the 9th century BC, but somehow it was suddenly abandoned. /kloc-rediscovered in the 0/7th century. This is one of the largest cities in Mayan culture. There are more than 3,000 buildings in it, forming 9 groups of buildings. There are several towering pyramids around the central square. On the east side is the No.1 Pyramid built in 8 10, which is more than 60 meters high. Because it is shaped like a jaguar, it is called "Jaguar Pyramid".

To the north of the starting point square is the No.2 pyramid, which was built in 736 AD. A huge mask is carved on the top of the pyramid. In addition, in a dense forest, there are a pair of pyramids with the same structure and shape. Many statues, jade articles, jewels and pottery have also been unearthed in this city.

The most famous man-made building in this area is the Panama Canal. Located at the narrowest part of the isthmus of Panama, the Canal is recognized as the "eighth wonder" in the world. The total length of the canal is more than 80 kilometers, the water depth is 1.3 ~ 26 meters, and it can pass ships of 50 ~ 1 10,000 tons. It is a waterway connecting the Pacific Ocean and the Atlantic Ocean, shortening the original voyage between the Pacific Ocean and the Atlantic Ocean by 6.5438+0.6 million kilometers. Take a boat across the canal and enjoy the scenery of the isthmus. There is a bridge over the canal, which is 1653 meters long. There is a tropical botanical garden on the top of the hill near the canal area, in which more than 500 kinds of flowers and trees are planted. At the entrance of the Pacific side of the canal, there is the famous Contadora Island. Important international conferences are held on the island. 1975, the presidents of Costa Rica, Colombia, Venezuela and Panama signed the minutes of the "Contado La" meeting here. From 65438 to 0982, the foreign ministers of Colombia, Mexico, Venezuela and Panama met here and issued important statements.
