Features: Travel is a high-level aesthetic activity. Travel is not just about sightseeing, but a cultural activity that facilitates individual interactions between people. On the surface, what people see are scenic spots and natural landscapes. In reality, what they truly perceive is the cultural connotation within. This book is suitable for tour guides in travel agencies, foreign affairs officers in various enterprises and institutions, students of colleges and universities, as well as the youth friends who are committed to the tourism industry. The compilation process of this book was lengthy, during which Professor Wang Lianyi, Director of the Training Center of China Travel Service (CTS) and Chief Judge of the National Tour Guide Competition, repeatedly encouraged me to connect with practical tour guide scenarios and write this book well. Pursuing cultural sophistication and depth is the major feature of this book. Standardization is the second major feature. This book is specifically written for English-speaking tour guides, differing from other academic works. The language used is clear and easy to understand, making it easy to recall and apply, as I hope readers not only comprehend the content but also be able to speak and use it effortlessly. Colloquialism is the third major feature. The fourth major feature is its strong practicality. High relevance is another major feature of this book. Currently, there are very few teaching materials specifically written for the annual national tour guide oral examination. Based on the requirements of the tour guide oral examination, this book integrates the key points of various attractions into the tour guides for each chapter, striving to highlight the essentials and even repeating certain sections. Most questions from the Beijing regional tour guide examination can be found answers to in this book.
