Tour guide interpretation is a kind of cross-cultural communication activity.Due to regional and historical reasons,the differences between Chinese and Western values, ways of thinking,social customs, religious beliefs, humanities and history lead to the obstacles in cross-cultural communication, and the obstacles in cross-cultural communication will also affect the effect of interpretation.

It can not only spread Chinese culture smoothly,but also improve the status of Chinese culture in the international arena.

This paper first explains the Skopos theory and its principles from Skopos theory,then analyzes the cultural barriers in tour guides' interpretation,and on this basis puts forward some targeted translation methods to solve these obstacles.
