　　4.4 Free Translation

　　Quite a few names of the tourist attractions are rich in cultural connotation, while literal translation is incapable of displaying it. In the translation of these names, it is better that translators carry out free translation whose characteristic is to eliminate cultural differences by emphasizing the implications or legends behind them so that foreign visitors manage to comprehend and memorize. For instance, Terra Cotta Warriors and Horses（兵马俑），Summer Palace（颐和园），the Imperial Palace（故宫), Ming Tombs（十三陵).

　　Free translation can help the foreigners understand the cultural connotation of tourist attraction’s names.

　　4.5 Transliteration plus Literal Translation

　　When it comes to certain tourist attractions which contains not only the part named after people or places but also widely-used general names, transliteration plus strict literal translation is an excellent choice. For instance, Hemudu Museum(河姆渡博物馆), Shaolin Temple(少林寺), Dufu Cottage(杜甫草堂). Besides, when the proper name of the tourist attraction is a single character, it is better that the general name after the proper name be transliterated, the English translation of which ought to be added too (Lin Yuhua). Cases in point are Changjiang River(长江), Taihu River(太湖), Taishan Mountain(泰山), and Shenyuan Garden(沈园).
