Features: This book focuses on the traditional Golden Tourist Route in East China, presenting the essence of tourist attractions in famous cities such as Nanjing, Yangzhou, Zhenjiang, Wuxi, Suzhou, Shanghai, and Hangzhou, along with 61 scenic spots including Qiandao Lake and Huangshan Scenic Area. These are divided into two routes: the Urban Essence Route and the Famous Mountains and Waters Route, vividly showcased to readers in the form of tour guide scripts. It not only reflects the tourism resources and history of East China but also serves as a reference book for travel enthusiasts exploring the seven cities of East China and Qiandao Lake or Huangshan. The book has distinct features:
First, it is popular. The writing of tour guide scripts must adhere to the norms of guiding, which means expressing professional knowledge in expressive and vivid spoken language, while also meeting the needs of a broad readership. Since tour guide scripts are for tourists, who are the audience for the guides, the book first focuses on the clarity and aesthetic appeal of language, emphasizing elegance without excess, flexibility without stiffness, truly embodying the idea, "The beauty of mountains and rivers needs the guide to add color and life with a wonderful explanation."
Second, it is knowledge-oriented. With the development of the times, modern tourism activities are increasingly inclined toward cultural knowledge. People travel not only for leisure but also to broaden their horizons, enrich their knowledge, expand their experiences, gain insights, and find joy and inspiration in the stories shared.
Third, it is systematic. The Golden Tourist Route in East China, as a prosperous area of the Yangtze River Delta, features convenient transportation and interconnected cities. This book organically interweaves the seven classic cities of East China and the two exquisite scenic areas, with each chapter systematically connected, presenting to readers an image of "integration of points and spaces."
