In the western world, Susan Bassnett and Andre Lefevere (1990) suggest the turn of Culturology in translation, which symbolizes the rise of the study on culture. In line with the theory, translators should take as many ways of translation as possible, using both literal and free translation, so as to transmit cultural information maximally and avoid cultural absence and culture shock. In other words, as a result of special cultural connotation behind the names of scenery spots, translators should not only own profound language foundation but also master the appropriate methods of translation in order to refrain from mistranslation.

　　4.2 Strict Literal Translation

　　Strict literal translation is taken when the translations of some attractions’ general names are well-accepted and easy to understand. For example, Three Pools Mirroring the Moon (三潭印月), Autumn Moon on Calm Lake(平湖秋月), Yellow Crane Tower(黄鹤楼), Bell Tower(钟楼), Drum Tower(鼓楼).

　　The strongest point of strict literal translation is that it is faithful in the original.

　　4.3 Transliteration

　　Transliteration can be adopted in the translation of the names of some scenic zones with specific concept and those of the tourist attractions named after people or places. They are often translated directly into Chinese Pinyins. For example, Dayu for 大禹and Li Shutong for 李叔同, Hangzhou for杭州, Pingyao for平遥, Zhangjiajie for 张家界.
