The difference between Chinese culture and English culture leads to cultural barriers in C-E translation of scenery spots’ names. Literal translation and free translation are the two main strategies of handling the cultural elements in translation.

　　Literal translation is fluent and easy to understand by target language readers. It is used when the word has the meaning according to both English and Chinese culture. A lot of tourist attractions’ names involve the language features and cultural custom, and their language form and cultural background are not acknowledged by the target language readers. In such case, free translation will be adopted.

　　This thesis is to analyze the problems existing in the C-E translation of Chinese tourist attractions’ names, through integrating the application of diverse ways in the translation of them, and emphasize the application of literal and free translation, finally, find out the suitable ways used in the field. It shows that neither of the two methods is superior to the other. And a successful translation is often the combination of them.

　　The translation of tourist attractions’ names, as part of tourist text translation, aims to draw foreign visitors’ interest in tourist attractions through the translation of tourist information. Hence, it is imperative that translators retain the functions of tourist attractions’ names in both knowledge and aesthetics through conveying the cultural information behind the names so that more tourists, especially those from abroad are attracted and the advent of Chinese tourism is accelerated.
