外文翻译 原文 Red tourism should explain countrys past Material Source: China Daily Author: Yu Wentao Red tourism is becoming so fashionable this year that the National Tourism Administration has named 2005 the year of red tourism. Revolutionary sacred places, such as Jinggangshan in Jiangxi Province, Yanan in Shaanxi Province and Xibaipo in Hebei Province have once again become booming tourist attractions for domestic travellers. While sightseeing in these sacred places, most of which are located among mountains or along rivers, ordinary Chinese can think about Chinas red history from 1921 when the Communist Party of China was formed, until 1949 when the Peoples Republic of China was founded. This tourism trend perfectly combines patriotic education with recreation The National Red Tourism Development Plan for the 2004-10 period has set up 12 major red tourism areas along with 30 red tourism routes, which expect to receive 150 million visitors in the years, with an income totalling 38 billion yuan (US$4.58 billion). Along a red tourism route, according to the plan, there must be revolutionary historical sites or references to famous revolutionary historical figures. Also, transport must be convenient and tourism facilities, such as hotels, restaurants and souvenir shops, must be adequate. Not every suggested route can be used for red tourism, even if it does have one or two red scenic spots. Chinas travel industry has been on the fast track in recent years. Travellers from home and abroad can be found in almost every corner of the country, especially at world-famous scenic spots and cultural sites such as the Great Wall and the Forbidden City in Beijing, the terracotta warriors in Xian and the birthplace of Confucius in Shandong. Red tourism is a new travel concept, but has proven to offer great potential. In particular,successful experience and good practices on the development of red tourism resources is worthy of recognition in rural districts
