Features: The series "Poetry and Scenery of Chinese Tourist Attractions" was compiled with the purpose of inheriting and promoting traditional Chinese tourism culture and serving the contemporary tourism industry. It takes landscape aesthetics as its theme and poetry appreciation as its main thread, covering numerous aspects such as historical figures, historical events, religion, culture, politics, education, science and technology, astronomy, geography, and art. It organically integrates the functions of tour guide commentary, leisure culture, and reference material. The compilation team of this series includes over 100 authors from all over the country. Despite this, there are still shortcomings in both the comprehensiveness of the attractions and the depth of the content. On one hand, this is because the scenic spots and historical sites of our great motherland are simply too abundant, making it fundamentally impossible to encompass them all in a single manuscript. On the other hand, compared to the diversity and vibrancy of these scenic areas, the words at our disposal seem somewhat pale and inadequate.
