It's a good idea to play around a little with graphics primitives and
directives, so as to become familiar with these things. For example, the
following could be a first approach to your question:

In[1]:=
p1 = Plot[Sin[x], {x, 0, 1.234}, DisplayFunction ->
     Identity];

In[2]:=
p2 = Plot[Sin[x], {x, 1.234, Pi}, DisplayFunction ->
     Identity];

In[3]:=
Show[Graphics[{Hue[0.8], Rectangle[{0, 0},
      {1.234, 1}]}], Graphics[{Hue[0.2],
     Rectangle[{1.234, 0}, {Pi, 1}]}], p1, p2,
   Graphics[{Hue[1], Thickness[0.01],
     Line[{{1.234, -0.1}, {1.234, 1.1}}]}],
   Graphics[Text["1.234", {1.234, -0.2}]],
   Axes -> True, AxesOrigin -> {-0.1, 0},
   DisplayFunction -> $DisplayFunction];
