Thousands of locals crowded the 10th Taipei Cross-Strait Travel Fair on Monday after leaders from both sides of the Taiwan Strait pledged to promote peace and prosperity at a historic meeting in Singapore Saturday.

　　在周六新加坡举行的历史性会议上，来自于海峡两岸的领导人许诺为促进两岸和平与繁荣而努力。周一，成千上万当地人参加了台北海峡两岸旅游展览会。

　　Ciou Jyu-syong, a marketing manager with Pro-Tour Express Inc, a Taipei-based travel agency, has been busy handing out leaflets for the company’s travel package to southwest China’s Guizhou Province throughout Monday morning.

　　Ciou Jyu-syong,台北一家旅游公司的市场部经理，星期一早上一直忙于分发向中国西南部城市贵州寄送旅游包裹的小册子。

　　"Taiwanese like Guizhou. The landscape is very much different from Taiwan and the weather is very mild throughout the year. In addition, we do not have a problem with language and culture differences," said Ciou, who himself has been to Guizhou at least eight times.

　　Ciou 说，台湾人喜欢贵州。那的风景与台湾大不相同，四季如春。另外，我们之间没有语言和文化差异。她去过贵州至少八次了。

　　Only about a third of his flyers were left by the time noon rolled around. "The weekend was even more crowded than today," he told Xinhua.

　　她告诉新华：当夜幕降临前，仅有3分之一的乘客离开。周末会有比今天更多的游客。

　　About 270,000 people attended the fair from Friday to Sunday, organizers said.

　　A Taipei woman surnamed Yu in her fifties collected a bag full of travel leaflets from the mainland delegation’s main desk.

　　一名50岁姓余的台北女士收集了一整袋来自于内地代表团展位上的旅游小册子。

　　"I have made several trips to the mainland but I still plan to go. I would like to visit Xinjiang (in northwest China) and Hainan (in the very south)," she said, adding she visited central China’s Hunan Province in September.

　　她说，我已经去内地旅游好几次了，但是我还打算去。我想要去新疆（中国西北部)和海南(最南边）。她补充到，九月份她去过中国内陆湖南省旅游。

　　It used to be very difficult, if not impossible, for ordinary residents to travel across the Strait since the Kuomintang, led by Chiang Kai-shek, fled to Taiwan in 1949 after being defeated in a civil war.

　　自从国内战争结束，1949年蒋介石领导的国民党来到台湾之后，普通民众想跨海峡旅游虽说不是不可能，但已变得十分困难。

　　Business and personnel exchanges resumed in the late 1980s but free travel, especially from the mainland to Taiwan, remained difficult. The two sides lifted the ban on mainland tourists in package tours to Taiwan in 2008 and on independent tourists in 2011.

　　20世纪80年代后期，商业和人才交流开始恢复。但是，自主旅游，尤其是内地到台湾，仍然困难。双方于2008年解禁了内地游客报团到台湾的旅游以及2011年开始自主旅游。

　　Cross-Strait tourism has been one of the most prosperous businesses since 2008, an outstanding indicator of improving ties.

　　2008开始，跨海峡旅游已经成为了最繁荣的商业之一。这也是改善两岸关系的一个显著证明。

　　In the first nine months of this year, about 4 million Taiwan people visited the mainland while 3.11 million mainland tourists went to the island.

　　今年前九个月，大约4百万台湾游客来内地旅游，尽管其中311万内地游客去了台湾岛。

　　At the meeting with Ma Ying-jeou in Singapore, Xi Jinping said that there are still many Taiwan people who have never been to the mainland and he welcomes their visit.

　　在新加坡举行的“马习会面”上，说道，一直有很多从未去过内地的台湾人民，他热烈欢迎他们的到来。

　　Hsu Chin-jui, head of the Taiwan Travel Quality Assurance Association, told Xinhua that the meeting between the two leaders sent a message of peace and stability across the Strait, which is exactly what tourism business needs.

　　旅游品质保障协会主席，Hsu Chin-jui告诉新华：两岸领导人的会面传递了海峡两岸的和平与稳定，而这恰恰也是旅游业所需要的。

　　Tourism business from both sides should take advantage of this favorable situation and work together to provide people with more quality products and services, Hsu said, adding that their efforts will contribute to cross-Strait peace and exchanges as well.

　　Hsu说，双方的旅游业应充分利用有利的环境，一起努力为人们提供更高品质的产品和服务。他补充道，他们的努力同样有利于促进两岸和平与交流。

　　At this travel fair, the mainland sent a large delegation of 820 people, including travel agencies and government tourism officials, and installed booths with a total area of 3,800 square meters.

　　这次旅游展览会上，内地派来了包括旅行社和政府旅游官员在内的820人的代表团，以及已安装好的3800立方米的展位。

　　Zheng Weirong, deputy head of the tourism department of east China’s Fujian Province, told Xinhua that the Xi-Ma meeting is definitely good news for tourism.

　　Zheng Weirong，中国东部福建省旅游局代表，告诉新华：习马会面对于旅游业来说无疑是个好消息。

　　"I hope that, with the leaders meeting each other, more detailed policies will follow to simplify paperwork and other procedures for cross-Strait travel," he said. Taiwan is a major source of tourists for Fujian, which is directly across the Strait.

　　她说，我希望随着“习马会面”，更多详细的政策能够出台,能够简化两岸旅游的手续和其他程序。台湾是福建游客的主要来源地，因为福建可以直接横跨海峡。
