Features: This book takes the traditional Golden Tourist Route in East China as its theme, showcasing the essence of tourist attractions in famous cities such as Nanjing, Yangzhou, Zhenjiang, Wuxi, Suzhou, Shanghai, and Hangzhou, along with attractions like Qiandao Lake and Huangshan Scenic Area. A total of 61 scenic spots are divided into two routes: the Urban Essence Route and the Famous Mountains and Waters Route. These are presented to readers in the form of tour guide scripts, vividly and dynamically. 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 tour guide standards, which means expressing professional knowledge in rich, expressive, and vivid spoken language, while also catering to the needs of a broad audience. After all, tour guide scripts are meant for tourists, who are the audience of the guides.
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, and gain enlightenment. This requires tour guides to have extensive knowledge as their foundation, ensuring their words are meaningful, logical, interesting, and inspiring. The book fully considers this factor during its writing process.
