Soundscapes　are　important　resources　and　contribute　to　high-quality　visiting　experiences　in　scenic　areas.　Based　on　a　public　investigation　of　195　interviewees　in　the　Kulangsu　scenic　area,　this　study　aimed　to　explore　the　relationships　between　the　harmonious　degree　of　sound　sources　(SHD)　and　visiting　experience　indicators,　in　terms　of　soundscape　perception,　as　well　as　the　satisfaction　degree　of　visual　landscape　and　comprehensive　impression.　The　results　suggested　that　the　dominating　positions　of　human　sounds　did　not　totally　suppress　the　perception　of　natural　sounds　such　as　birdsong　and　sea　waves　in　the　scenic　area.　Natural　sound　sources　also　showed　a　higher　harmonious　degree　than　other　artificial　sounds.　Significant　relationships　existed　between　the　SHD　of　most　sound　sources　and　the　visiting　experience　indicators.　Natural　sounds　were　closely　related　to　pleasant　and　comfortable　soundscape　perception,　while　mechanical　sound　sources　were　mainly　related　to　eventful　and　varied　soundscapes.　The　close　relationships　between　certain　sound　sources　and　the　satisfaction　degree　of　the　visual　landscape　and　comprehensive　impression　evaluation　indicated　the　effectiveness　of　audio-visual　and　even　multi-sensory　approaches　to　enhance　visiting　experience.　The　structural　equation　model　further　revealed　that　(1)　natural　sound　was　the　most　influential　sound　source　of　soundscape　and　visual　landscape　perception;　(2)　human　sounds　and　mechanical　sounds　all　showed　significant　positive　effects　on　soundscape　perception;　and　(3)　indirect　relationships　could　exist　in　the　SHD　of　sound　sources　with　comprehensive　impression　evaluation.　The　results　can　facilitate　targeted　soundscape　and　landscape　management　and　landsense　creation　with　the　aim　of　improving　visiting　experience.　©　2023　by　the　authors.
