Along with the international tourism in the world grows rapidly,especially in the Pacific Asia region, the research on the influence, which culture has on the traveling behaviours, gets more and more attentions. The scholars begin to take the culture differences as the key factors which change the tourists'preference and tourism behaviours, because the culture differences are not only the most attractive resources, but also the basic reason why the oriental and west tourists show differently on traveling consume behaviours. The experience under the culture differences may be satisfied or full of repay, may be displeased or nervous, or even a feeling of culture conflict.
