Features: The series "Poetry and Scenery of Chinese Tourist Attractions" was compiled with the aim of inheriting and promoting traditional Chinese tourism culture while serving the modern tourism industry. With landscape aesthetics as its theme and poetry appreciation as its main thread, it covers a wide range of aspects such as historical figures, historical events, religion, culture, politics, education, science and technology, astronomy, geography, and art, organically integrating the functions of tour guide commentary, leisure culture, and reference material. The compilation team of this series includes over one hundred authors from all over the country. Despite this, there are still areas that fall short of perfection in terms of 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 impossible to encompass them all in a single manuscript. On the other hand, compared to the vibrant diversity of these scenic areas, the words at our disposal seem rather inadequate and weak.
