　 　 　 　Exhibit unique features and inherit historical relics; Hold a cultural tourism event and invite guests and friends from all over the world. From November 30th to December 1st, the first Shaoyang Tourism Development Conference was held in Langshan, Xinning. Langshan Mountain, the "good person of the mountain", which is already the "new favorite" of online celebrity tourism in Hunan Province, has ushered in a new warm and vigorous rhythm.

　　Enjoy a landscape, taste a city of Xinning, and seek a spring scenery. During the grand event, all eyes were focused on Xinning, and also on the exploration of the development path and blueprint of Shaoyang cultural tourism industry.

　　In recent years, through the protection, development and utilization of tourism resources, Shaoyang has skillfully made articles on the integration of literature and tourism, and the unique natural and cultural landscape of Shaoyang has gradually entered the vision of tourists from all over the province and the country.

　　This year’s National Day holiday alone, the city received 743,700 tourists and achieved a total tourism income of 813.9 million yuan.

　　From "bred in an inner chamber, with no one knowing her" to "My family has a daughter who has just grown up", why does the value of Shaoyang’s tourism charm keep rising?

　　Everywhere, the charm of the Millennium still exists today.

　　Shaoyang is located in the southwest of central Hunan, inhabited by 44 ethnic groups including Han, Miao, Hui, Yao and Dong, with a permanent population of 8.3 million. It is the second largest city in Hunan Province.

　　It has a history of more than 2500 years since Baigong built the city in the Spring and Autumn Period. After several dynasties’ changes and witnessing the bonfire years, Shaoyang people forged their resolute character of "being the first in the world", and walked out of Wei Yuan, Cai E, He Lvting and other historical celebrities, leaving a rich historical legacy.

　　According to incomplete statistics, there are 12 national key cultural relics protection units in Shaoyang, including 26 places, 77 provincial cultural relics protection units and 88 municipal cultural relics protection units, with a total of 1,657 immovable cultural relics. There are 2 national historical and cultural towns, 8 provincial historical and cultural towns (villages) and 51 traditional villages in China.

　　In the process of urbanization expansion and the transformation of old cities, we will adhere to the principle of "repairing the old as before" and integrate ancient buildings with urban (rural) planning and construction.

　　Baoqing ancient city wall is adjacent to Shaoshui in the east and Zijiang in the north, with a history of more than 2,000 years. Today, the 1300-meter wall of Xiwaiwan still has the function of flood control after several generations of protection and repair.

　　At the foot of the city wall, it is the famous scenery belt of Zijiang South Road in Shaoyang. Every night, tourists are woven and neon-bright, adding a touch of charm to the ancient wall.

　　Shaoyang is a red land with a glorious revolutionary tradition, with more than 160 red remains and more than 2,000 recorded martyrs.

　　Within the jurisdiction, there is the first mountain and old mountain boundary crossed by the Red Army on the way to the Long March. There is a famous anti-Japanese national salvation site in Hunan Province — — Tangtian wartime lecture college; There is a well-preserved communication office of the Eighth Route Army in Hunan … Relying on these rich red tourism resources, our city has vigorously promoted the construction of patriotic education bases, improved the red tourism route map, and cultivated a number of well-known red tourism brands.

　　Everywhere, beautiful scenery, strange mountains and beautiful waters meet all directions.

　　The unique hilly landform has created many strange and steep natural landscapes in Shaoyang.

　　For example, Langshan Mountain in Xinning, a national 5A scenic spot known as "the soul of Danxia and the treasure of the world"; The only national park in Hunan, China’s "Hulunbeier in the South" city steps Nanshan; "Magic Oasis" Suining Huang Sang; "Chunan Resort" Wugang Yunshan; Move the stream at the entrance of "Natural Gallery"; Xinshao Baishui Cave … … Every place is a masterpiece of nature.

　　As the first batch of national forest parks in China, Hunan Nanshan National Park has clearly divided the protection pilot area, tourist area, grazing area and living area, and implemented the coordinated development of ecological environment protection and tourism industry.

　　In the protected pilot area, the population of wild animals has gradually increased in recent years, and the first-class wild protected animals such as forest musk deer, merganser, white-necked pheasant and civet cat have frequently appeared, while the population of second-class wild protected animals such as black bear, leopard cat, silver pheasant and mandarin duck is also recovering and increasing. Outside the protection pilot area, nanshan pasture, with green grass slopes, herds of cows and pleasant climate, has developed into a sample demonstration site of Shaoyang’s global tourism integrating tourism, farming and animal husbandry experience, catering and consumption.

　　In the Langshan Scenic Area of Xinning, besides the beautiful Danxia Mountains and the novel and dangerous "first-line sky", there are spacious tourist centers, scenic roads extending in all directions and public service facilities everywhere.

　　Huang Sang Scenic Area in Suining, the "Kingdom of Nature", has original ecological natural landscapes such as Shili Valley, Six Goose Waterfalls, Miao King’s Old Capital and Gaopo Sea of Clouds.

　　Many years ago, there were few tourists because of poor traffic and poor infrastructure. In recent years, a standardized tourist center has been built in the scenic spot, and rows of homestays with ethnic characteristics are built by mountains and rivers, so that tourists can feel "poetry and distance" in physical and mental pleasure.

　　In order to promote high-quality original ecological tourism resources to the whole country, Shaoyang has successively issued documents such as the Master Plan of Shaoyang Tourism Development and the Special Plan of Shaoyang Western Eco-cultural Tourism Circle.

　　On the premise of fully protecting the natural landscape, the basic supporting facilities of various scenic spots have been gradually improved, and a variety of eco-tourism products such as ecological research, plateau health, wetland bird watching, self-driving cross-country and forest health preservation have been launched, forming tourist product lines such as Qimei Shaoyang sightseeing tour and eco-Shaoyang health tour.

　　By the first half of 2022, there were 42 A-level scenic spots in the city, including 1 5A-level scenic spot, 6 4A-level scenic spots and 31 3A-level scenic spots.

　　When foreign tourists come to Shao, there are more and more items to visit and enjoy, and their tourist reception capacity is getting stronger and stronger.

　　Diversified formats, new look of cultural and tourism integration exhibition

　　In August this year, the traditional festival of the Yao people, the activity of "begging for the bride" and the intangible cultural heritage concert with the theme of "Huayao on the Cloud and the charm of nature", were staged in the Yao township of Huxingshan, Longhui.

　　While enjoying the ecological beauty such as canyons, ancient trees, strange rocks and waterfalls, tourists also appreciate the traditional customs and people’s feelings of Yao people such as Huayao picking flowers, Huayao folk songs, eight-tone gongs and drums, and opening gongs and drums.

　　Shaoyang is rich in cultural tourism resources. There are 16 national intangible cultural heritage representative projects, 28 provincial representative projects, 112 municipal representative projects, 12 national representative inheritors, 25 provincial representative inheritors and 157 municipal representative inheritors.

　　There are pleasing national performances such as Huayao Picking Flowers, Wowa Folk Songs and Wugang Sixian, as well as exquisite craft inheritance such as Baoqing bamboo carving, blue calico and beachhead New Year pictures. In recent years, through the deep integration of cultural heritage and tourism resources, many non-legacy projects in our city that are on the verge of extinction have been reborn and tourism resources have been promoted.

　　In order to promote the tourism projects in Nanshan and its surrounding areas, Chengbu has made great efforts to create a brand activity of "66 Folk Song Festival".

　　At the turn of summer and autumn every year, Chengbu invites tourists from all over the country to watch performances in Shao by holding folk song competitions, and introduces intangible cultural heritages such as hanging dragons, Miao boxing and fighting chickens in Chengbu. At the same time, it promotes tourism projects in Nanshan and its surrounding areas, so as to realize cultural inheritance and tourism development go hand in hand.

　　In order to attract more tourists from inside and outside the province to visit, Suining County has become a better brand of "April 8th Girl’s Day".

　　On the traditional "Girl’s Day" of the Miao nationality on the eighth day of the fourth lunar month, Miao compatriots dressed in festive costumes gather together to drink rice wine and eat black rice, sing and dance folk songs, play games, and organically integrate folk culture with natural landscapes.

　　In order to promote the recovery of the local tourism consumption market, in July this year, the Summer Food Amusement Night Shopping Festival was launched.

　　Activities through the government set up a stage, enterprises singing opera, government subsidies, enterprises to make profits, so that the majority of consumers in multiple rounds, multi-theme "eat, drink, play, buy, enjoy, have fun" series of promotional activities to enjoy the maximum amount of concessions.

　　Shaoyang rice noodles, Wugang pot-stewed vegetables, Chengbu Camellia oleifera, plasma duck, pig blood balls … … The food on the dining table in Shaoyang is known by more and more foreigners through the tourism industry, which opens the door for local agricultural products to enter the national market.

　　In recent years, Shaoyang has spared no effort to promote all kinds of local agricultural products by taking advantage of tourism, and established the famous brand of "Shaoyanghong". The brand directory covers dozens of agricultural products such as day lily, dragon tooth lily, stewed vegetables and tea. The brand "Shaoyanghong" has appeared in major exhibition events in the whole province and the whole country for many times, and its popularity has been rising. "Shaoyang Taste" has been welcomed by more and more tourists.

　　It has flourished for thousands of years, and it is still the same today. The ancient rhyme of mountains and rivers, waiting for you to come.
