The contexts within which websites are created are significant in determining recommendations for places to visit. Comparison is made here between recommendations for visits to rural China made by web sites authored in that country and by sites authored in Europe. Some similarities occur, but justifications for visiting differ. China‐authored sites use cultural and historical reasons for recommendations, and are made in the context of official policies for tourist development. Europe‐authored websites emphasize the aesthetics of scenic settings and the built environment. The cultural mentalities of web authors influence the information they provide to potential tourists.

The depiction of landscape in art has played a major role in the creation of cultural identities in both China and Europe. Landscape depiction has a history of over 1000 years in China, whilst in Europe its evolution has been more recent. Landscape art (shan shui) has remained a constant feature of Chinese culture and has changed little in style and purpose since the Song dynasty. In Europe, landscape depictions have been significant in the modern determination of cultural and national identities and have served to educate consumers about their country. Consideration is given here to Holland, England, Norway, Finland and China, demonstrating how landscape depictions served to support a certain definition of Chinese culture but have played little political role there, whilst in Europe landscape art has been produced in a variety of contexts, including providing support for nationalism and the determination of national identity.
