To fulfill the requirements of cultural and historical data in the service of economic development，we decided on the principle at the beginning of the compilation that the introduction of the scenic spots should highlight not only the natural scenery but also the cultural and historical content.This decision is justified by the following reasons：
Firstly，tourism is inseparable from culture，which imparts soul and feature to tourism.In other words，culture is to tourism what theme is to diction.Destitute of theme，an article with flowery is still wish-washy；weak at diction，an article with a profound theme is all the same unpopular.Our long history has seen many legends，multifarious arts and diversified customs，which lend themselves to tourism.In this sense it is justified to say that culture immensely complements tourism.That can be proved by the famous scenic spots around the world，which，with all their beautiful natural landscapes，still highlight human cultural landscapes.Therefore，tourism culture is a keystone in boosting tourism.
