Abstract This paper explores how soundscape and landscape influences tourism experience by the cases of Leshan Giant Buddha and Mount Emei, China. Results show that there is a mutually positive relationship between soundscape perception and landscape perception; soundscape perception indirectly affect tourism experience through “the congruence between soundscape and landscape”; and only landscape can directly affect shallow experience. This study also brings implications for tourism research and practice: soundscape should be given more attention as it can significantly affect the tourism experience, and relevant industrial sectors can improve tourism experiences through the design or control of soundscape.
