近年来,中国旅游业呈现爆发式增长,从荒凉干燥的撒哈拉沙漠,到人迹罕至的南北极,几乎全球每一处都少不了中国游客的身影。其实,旅游并不是现代人的专利,『旅游』一词,早在魏晋南北朝时期就已经出现,而中国古人的旅游活动,也有很多与现代游客相似之处。 In recent years, China’s tourism industry has shown explosive growth. From the desolate and dry Sahara desert to the less-traveled North and South Poles, almost every tourist in the world can hardly see the Chinese tourists. In fact, tourism is not a patent of the modern people. The term “tourism” has already appeared in the period of the Wei, Jin and Southern and Northern Dynasties. However, the tourism activities of ancient Chinese people also have many similarities with modern tourists.
