Transliteration plus Literal Translation integrates the advantages of the two methods, providing visitors with faithful translation with authentic Chinese pronunciation.

　　4.6 Transliteration plus Free Translation

　　In view of that the names of some tourist attractions are often just a proper name without special meanings, it is unnecessary that the translation be done word for word. Thereby, we may as well handle the names with Chinese pinyin and then explain it in English, namely transliteration plus free translation, in order that foreigners can realize the literal meaning or cultural connotation behind it. This method which is emerging recently is recommended by the scholars. For example, Shi San Ling (The Ming Tombs) for十三陵, San Xia（The Three Changjiang River Gorges）for三峡,

　　Duan Qiao （The Broken Bridge）for断桥, and Jin Luan Dian（ Emperor's Audience Hall）for金銮殿.

　　Though transliteration is weak in informative function, it enables the foreign visitors to get a good knowledge of authentic Chinese pronunciation, enhancing their curiosity and freshness. Furthermore, free translation can help the foreigners understand the literal meaning and cultural connotation of tourist attraction’s names, making up for transliteration’s weak point in expression and strengthening informative function so that Chinese culture can be spread more smoothly. Hence, the integration of transliteration and free translation is proposed by many translation specialists.
