German functional translation theory liberates the translator from the barrier of original paper, which emphasizes the communicative function of translation in the target language culture. Tourism texts have vocative function, informational function, and expressive function. As long as the translator spares no effort to make a good translation text, it is of great significance for the scenic spots. In this paper, on the basis of predecessors’ research and the German functional translation theory, the author did some systematic researches of the C-E translation of scenic spots, taking the translation of scenic spots in the Yellow River Delta for instance. Through the field trip and a lot of case analysis, the author proposes that the translator in the translation process of scenic spots can use literal translation, free translation, and compiled translation, etc. To standardize and improve the scenic spots of C-E translation, it is necessary to pay attention to improving the quality of the translator and the sense of responsibility.
