Nowadays, translation researches concerning World Heritage have gained sig-nificant attention. However, studies of translation problems of the Grand Canal Huai’an Section, one part of the World Cultural Heritage, remains insufficient. By field investigations, first-hand Chinese-English translation corpus from pub-lic areas in the Grand Canal Huai’an Section, could be collected. The findings reveal that, after the Grand Canal’s successful inscription as a World Cultural Heritage for more than ten years, there are still six types of translation problems in its public areas. Subsequently, the possible causes and solutions are analyzed. This paper may provide some valuable references for translation studies of World Heritage.
