Sight-seeing Hsu ChiCheng

So many scenic spots and historical sites
Scatter here and there
Each of them has its own historical stories
Show its colorful charm
Allowing me to visit one after another
(Do I visit them
Or am I to be visited by them?)

I have visited the Summer Palace, the Great Wall…
I have visited Jinge Temple, Dongshan Temple…
I have visited Jungfu Palace, the War memorial Hall…
What is my next goal?)

(Time keeps firing
Knocking or beating with an iron hammer
Liuhe Pagoda has inclined
Thunder Peak Pagoda has collapsed
Excuse me for what I say
What’s its next goal?
Leaning Tower of Pisa
Or you?...)
Note 1: They all are the scenic spots and historical sites: The Summer Palace, the Great Wall, Liuhe Pagoda and Thunder Peak Pagoda belong to China, Jinge Temple and Dongshan Temple belong to Japan, Jingfu Palace and the War Memorial Hall belong to Korea, Leaning Tower of Pisa belongs to France.
Note 2:Thunder Peak Pagoda has been rebuilt up, very modern, with elevator acting step. However, the flavor of the original pagoda has vanished.

附中文原詩如后:

遊覽    許其正

諸多名勝古蹟

散布各地

各擁滄桑故事

各顯多彩繽紛風貌

任我一一遊覽

（是我來遊覽它們？

還是我來讓它們遊覽？）

已遊覽過頤和園、長城……

已遊覽過金閣寺、東山寺……

以遊覽過景福宮、戰爭紀念館……

下一個目標呢？

（時間不住施放著槍炮炸彈

握著鐵錘猛敲猛打

六和塔已經傾斜了

雷峰塔已經倒塌了

請別說我煞風景

下一個目標

不知道比薩斜塔

還是你……）

註1：頤和園、長城、六和塔和峰塔是中國名勝古蹟，金閣寺和東山寺是日本名勝古蹟，景福宮和戰爭紀念館是韓國名勝古蹟，比薩斜塔是法國名勝古蹟。

註2：雷峰塔已又建起，而且很現代化，有電梯代步，不勞攀爬；唯已非原塔，無原塔味道。
