Features: This book collects over 1,000 couplets of Chinese tourism scenic spots. It aims to showcase the cultural connotations of scenic spots across the country and promote the development of cultural tourism. The collection range includes: Key Cultural Relics Protected Units, National Historical and Cultural Cities, National Scenic Areas, as well as provincial-level protected cultural relics sites and famous scenic areas that reflect historical and regional cultural characteristics and have tourism value. The focus is on existing couplets, with both ancient and modern included. In some scenic areas where the current couplets are not outstanding, selected couplets recorded by predecessors with reliable evidence are included. The principle for selecting works in the book is: famous scenic spots, famous people, and famous works. That is, all famous scenic spots are included; they are highlighted while being comprehensive, with more couplets in a scenic area prioritizing works by famous authors. Works that are not by famous authors but are of high quality and widely circulated are also included. The couplets collected in this book are all titled with a caption, followed by the main text of the couplet.
