各位游客，大家好!欢迎大家光临上海。我是上海旅行社的导游，大家可以叫我小X，或者X导。现在，我们来到了外滩游览区。下面，我先把外滩游览区的概况跟大家介绍一下。
外滩游览区位于上海的母亲河黄浦江和苏州河的交汇处、与浦东的东方明珠游览区隔江相望，它北起外白渡桥，南至延安东路全长1300米的中山东一路两侧区域。
外滩游览区的主要景点有被誉为"万国建筑博览群"中最高的海关大楼，在外滩门面最宽、占地最广、体量最大的汇丰银行大楼，充满中华元素的中国银行大楼和外白渡桥，以及上海的母亲河黄浦江、黄埔公园，还有世博会前夕竣工的四大广场。(周边的景点有百老汇大厦和正在进行综合改造的外滩源。)
外滩，原来是上海城厢外东北面的沿江滩地，俗称"黄浦滩"。1843年上海开埠后，英国第一任驻沪领事巴富尔看中了这块地方，就在1845年以上海道台公布的所谓"上海土地章程"为依据，划定外滩在内的800亩土地为英租界，沿江开筑道路称"黄浦路、黄埔滩路"。上世纪初前后，就有国内外银行入住，并逐步发展成为"东方的华尔街"。直到1945年，才改名为中山东一路。
解放后，特别是20世纪90年代和20__年世博会前夕外滩经历了两次大规模的改造。值得一提的是：经过世博会前夕的改造，外滩游览区全面提升了外滩滨水区域的环境品质、更加凸显了"万国建筑"的历史文化风貌和特色、充分演绎了"城市，让生活更美好"的世博会主题，使外滩成为上海最具标志性、最经典的城市景观区域。
20__年，外滩游览区以"外滩晨钟"之名，被评为"新沪上八景"之一。
总之，我们说：外滩游览区集人文景观和自然景观于一体、西方古典风情和中国现代风情相得益彰，是上海都市旅游中经久不衰的经典旅游景区。是国内外游客到上海游览必到的一个旅游景点。
好，各位游客。由于时间关系，有关外滩游览区的概况就暂时说到这里。下面，我们就去参观景点吧。
