Since the tour"Golden Week"comes into being in the 1999, it has more driving tendency to hasten the development of the tourism. The tour"Golden Week"brings in the well economic and social benefits for the tour destinations, and that it reveals the abuses such as the traffic jam of the tourist destinations, the crowding of the tourist areas and so on. So many experts concerned, scholars and the tourists appeal to amend the vacation system of the tour"Golden Week", and the research of the crowding in the tourist areas. The study of crowding in the tourist areas abroad have been started in the 1970s, but because of the differences in tourist areas and metewands they choose, the conclusions are different."Shelby, Vaske, and Heberlein (1989) reviewed crowding studies from 15 years of research. The results of their analysis showed that four factors influenced perceived crowding: time, resource availability, accessibility or convenience, and management. Three other variables, however, had no influence on the level of perceived crowding: regional differences, consumptive or nonconsumptive recreation activity, and methodological factors."But there is little research of perceived crowding inland, and that the researchs concentrate on literatures of evaluation on the environmental carrying capacity in recreational settings and always are deemed to"the perceived carrying capacity","psychology capacity /carrying capacity".This thesis is an empirical study of the crowding and the effects on recreational experience in the representative tourist areas in Guilin. Based on the process of tourist experience, this research tries to study the tourism emotion and the tourism areas experience. In the meantime, we want to an empirical study of the crowding and the effects on recreational experience in the Chinese tourist areas and offer suggestion and advice for the tourist area supervisors and tourists to make effective debugging ways.The article mostly adopts the ways of individual and conversation, questionnaire survey, statistics and tne use of the Markey statistical software. The article designs the survey questionnaire that is integrated with theoretics model through individual and conversation survey. With the callback of the questionnaires, the statistical way and the Markey statistical software are adopted to process and settle the questionnaires in order to discuss the conclusions and make suggestions.The Seven Star Garden and The Elephant Hill of four star tourist areas in Guilin were chosen to conduct a questionnaire survey. What we want to explore and validate through this study is as follows:⑴How many individual and tourist area factors will influence tourists perception of crowding in tourist areas ?⑵Whether and how perception of crowding will influence the tourist emotions ?⑶Whether perception of crowding has influence on tourist area experience factors ?⑷Whether perception of crowding has influence on evaluations of tourist satisfaction, revisit desire and recommendation desire ?It is found with questionnaire-settled and data statistic analysis that:①"relaxing spirit"and"enjoying beauty"of tourist motivation factors, crowding tolerance and crowding anticipation have remarkable effect on perception of crowding;②"Tourists on the tour road","tourist behavior"and"tourist area space"have remarkable effect on perception of crowding;③The pleasure emotion and arousal emotion of tourists have remarkable effect on perception of crowding;④The perception of crowding has remarkable effect on the sight, entironment, service and establishment of the tourist area in tourist area experience.
