1. Introduction

China is a large country with its long history, rich culture and abundant tourism resources. The ancient oriental civilization is attracting an increasing number of foreigners to visit the wonderful sceneries of human and nature, of which some historical spots are attached much attention. In modern China, with the reinforcement of economic and cultural globalization, red tourism industry has become one of the most prevailing recreational and communicating activities. With the advent of heat of singing red songs, red tourism has enjoyed great popularity among foreign visitors. 

The national work conference on the development of red tourism, held in 2005 jointly by 13 departments including the National Development and Reform Commission and National Tourism Administration, proposed to cultivate 12 key red tourist areas, improve 30 distinctive routes of red tourism and form 100 classic scenic areas. The year of 2005 was determined as the year of Chinese red tourism’s year. Since then, red tourism stepped into all-around development.

During the course of promoting red tourism, it is obvious that translation is one of the most important jobs which should be well done. However, there exist many problems of Chinese- English translation of red tourism. The foreign visitors are in need of the background information of Chinese revolution history. The lack of information and wrong translation are likely to lead the overseas visitors to misunderstand Chinese culture and to decrease the attraction of tourist spots. Therefore, it is necessary for us to further the study of translation of Chinese red tourism in order to improve the quality of translation and promote red tourism’s prospering.
