Abstract: China,a mountainous country in Asia,is rich in mountain tourism resources. Buddhist Mountains like Emei Mountain,Wuyue(Mount tai and other four Mountains),and other famous scenic mountains like Huangshan have attracted numerous visitors every year. At the same time,affected by the frequently occurred mountain geological hazards,many of these tourist attractions have become high-risk areas. Therefore,a sound tourism planning which has taken full consideration of the mountain hazards is of particular significance to the success of mountain tourism development. However,current tourism planning for mountain areas contains few considerations of mountain hazards prevention and treatment,and thus incapable to manage the safety risks faced by tourists. For this reason,we proposed the conception of mountain tourism planning served engineering geology-a interdiscipline of tourism planning and engineering geology-for the purpose of ensuring tourists safety and constructing tourism safety guarantee system in mountain resorts,and hence promoting the sustainable development of mountain tourism industry. Moreover,this interdisciplinary research identifies a new research area of engineering geology.
