Studies Abroad In recent years China pays great attention to cultural exchanges and establish the Confucius Institute. Thus，Chinese culture has been transmitted to all over the world. But it is undeniable that the cultural munication in China started late than the other country and it is still in the development process. Therefore，it is less for the representative of foreign academic literature in china’s scenic spot names’ translation. However, pared with the different cultural backgrounds and different languages, there are a lot of academic literature on scenic spot names Translation.Graham Dan（2001） has a unique research on scenic spot names translation and was regarded as the first person in the study of scenic spot names translation.
