Does Taiyuan have the opportunity to develop into a tourism scale like Xi 'an? Why?

From the perspective of tourism scale alone, it is really difficult for Taiyuan to develop to a level similar to Xi 'an. Why do you say that? I think there are many reasons, but in the final analysis, the most important reason is that the existing tourism resources in Taiyuan are still difficult to compare with Xi. In other words, although Taiyuan also has a very long history and culture, beautiful urban scenery and natural scenery, there is still a certain gap between the popularity of various scenic spots and the perfection of tourist facilities in the whole city.

Specifically, there are no national AAAA-level tourist attractions in Taiyuan, but there are more than ten national AAAA-level tourist attractions such as Fenhe Park, jinci museum and Donghu Vinegar Garden. In Xi, there are only three national AAAAA-level tourist attractions, namely, Terracotta Warriors and Horses, Wild Goose Pagoda-Datang Furong Garden and Huaqing Pool. AAAA has more national tourist attractions than Taiyuan. From this point alone, it can be seen that the overall attraction of Xi to tourists should be greater than that of Taiyuan.

Even so, the practitioners of Taiyuan tourism industry need not be discouraged. Personally, although Taiyuan's current tourism resources are limited, a series of scenic spots such as Jinyang Lake, Fangte Paradise, Taiyuan County in Ming Dynasty and Taiyuan Zoo are being developed and upgraded. I believe that the scale of tourism in Taiyuan will be further expanded in the future, and the development prospect of tourism in Taiyuan is still very good.

Moreover, from the perspective of Shanxi Province as a whole, from natural landscapes such as Hukou Waterfall and Taihang Mountain Water, to humanistic tourist attractions such as Yungang Grottoes and Yanmenguan, and then to red tourist attractions such as Taihang Memorial Hall of the Eighth Route Army, tourism resources are still very rich on the whole. As an important transportation hub and economic and cultural center in Shanxi, Taiyuan will also be positively influenced and driven by the vigorous development of tourism in the whole province.

Although Taiyuan and Xi 'an are both ancient cities, Taiyuan still lags far behind Xi 'an in many aspects.

Because Xi 'an is, after all, the ancient capital of 13 dynasty, with different historical status and cultural background. Especially in tourism, it is still very difficult for Taiyuan to develop to the scale of Xi 'an. Terracotta warriors and horses occupy half of Xi's tourism. Although Taiyuan also has Jinyang ancient city buried deep underground, compared with the Terracotta Warriors, it still lacks historical value and scale. There is also the ancient city wall of Xi 'an, which is incomparable in Taiyuan.

"The spring breeze is proud of horseshoe disease, and you can see Chang 'an flowers in one day." A Tang poem tells the story of the prosperity of Xi 'an. The peaceful love in Tang Furong Garden is everlasting, which makes this land more romantic and affectionate. Besides, I have been to the scenery like the Big Wild Goose Pagoda and the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, and I think there is nothing more attractive than the Twin Pagoda Temple and the Jet Li Pagoda in Taiyuan.

Jinci, the earliest royal garden in China, also makes Taiyuan's tourism shine. In addition, there are Mount Tai, Mount Juewei and Longshan, which are also excellent tourism resources in Taiyuan. At present, Jinyang Lake Scenic Area and Twin Towers Scenic Area are under construction, and Taiyuan in the future is still worth looking forward to!

Xi is a veritable ancient historical and cultural capital, and Taiyuan can only be called a famous historical and cultural city. These two names also determine that the historical and cultural relics of the two cities will be very different.

As the capital of 13 Central Plains dynasties in history, Xi almost influenced the cultural process of China. In Xi 'an, the 5A-level scenic spot represented by Terracotta Warriors and Horses is almost a cultural resource that other cities can't match or imitate, which is determined by historical factors that Xi 'an has such cultural conditions. The most famous scenic spot in Taiyuan is Jinci Temple, but it is far from Xi.

Objectively and fairly speaking, Taiyuan's tourism resources are far less than Xi 'an, which also determines that it is difficult for Taiyuan to reach the tourism scale like Xi 'an. At the same time, Xi 'an's openness to the outside world and the city's pursuit of modern trends are also places that Taiyuan urgently needs to learn. Tik Tok can make Xi 'an alive, and the government can cooperate with Tik Tok strategically, which is not easy in Shaanxi.

However, Shanxi also has cultural resources such as Wutai Mountain and Pingyao Ancient City, which are well-known at home and abroad. However, these are not in Taiyuan, but in other cities in Shanxi.

Obviously impossible, it is difficult to reach half an Xi' an.

1, the gap between scenic spots and historical sites: Xi 'an can become a first-class tourist city, relying not only on a long history, but also on its historical position and historical sites.

Jinci, the most famous historical site in Taiyuan, is little known outside Shanxi. In addition, the Mengshan Giant Buddha is a bit famous, and it was artificially restored. It is a semi-replica, and its reputation is limited to the province, and foreign tourists rarely come.

But what about Xi? The number of places of interest in the world is ten times that of Taiyuan. Terracotta Warriors, Tang Furong Garden, Big Wild Goose Pagoda, Little Wild Goose Pagoda, Huaqing Pool, Epang Palace, Ancient City Wall, Bell and Drum Tower, etc. are well-known at home and abroad and have entered many national world history textbooks. Even leaving aside historical sites, even Shaanxi History Museum, xi Museum and World Expo Park are 4A-level scenic spots.

2. The resource gap of scenic spots:

Taiyuan is surrounded by mountains, but there is not even a 3A mountain view. Even many Taiyuan locals don't know Tianlong Mountain, Erlong Mountain and Juewei Mountain. Mianshan, which Taiyuan people like very much, is not Taiyuan's yet. However, there are famous scenic spots in Xi, such as Cuihuashan National Geopark, National Forest Park, Mount Li and Qinling Wildlife Park.

These resources are preserved or built by historical and geographical features, and it is impossible to copy how much Taiyuan spent.

Even if it is purely artificial, Xi 'an has a large amusement park with chain brands such as Aquarium and Lehua Happy World, while Taiyuan takes a roller coaster in the park. This difference is really too big.

3. Food gap:

Xi is the first city in China to win the title of snack capital of the world. There are traditional famous foods such as cold rice noodles, Guo kui, mutton bread in soup, thousand-layer cakes, mirror cakes, Chinese hamburger, minced meat noodles, oil sprinkled noodles, etc., all of which are popular snacks all over the country. Is there any famous food in Taiyuan that can attract tourists? Is there anything like dipping kebabs outside Taiyuan for sale? Even Marlboro and Daoxiao Noodles are specialties of Pingyao and Datong.

Xi 'an has ten professional food streets, four of which are crowded with tourists. Taiyuan locals seem to have only one food street, right? To say that the food city in the shopping mall is not an order of magnitude at all.

4, the gap between the number of tourists:

In terms of tourist reception, Xi is as high as 300 million passengers, while Taiyuan's total annual passenger flow is only 98 million passengers. What percentage of tourists can there be? This gap is dozens of times, and no matter how hard you try, it is impossible to reach the scale of Xi 'an. Don't talk about chasing Xi 'an, look at the ranking below. Where are the tourist cities Jinan and Xiamen with hundreds of millions of people?

Besides, don't forget that Xi's financial resources far exceed Taiyuan's. Even if they start from scratch, Thai won't be as good as Xi 'an. Therefore, returning to rationality, it is enough for Taiyuan to be a comfortable and livable town. It is a milestone that tourism can catch up with Changchun one day.

As a native of Xi, I have been to Shaanxi many times recently. Shanxi has its own unique culture and resources, such as Shanxi merchant culture (Pingyao ancient city, Qiao family courtyard), but none of them are in Taiyuan.

Xi has advantages over Taiyuan in several aspects.

There are many historical sites in the ancient capitals of 1 and 13. The history of Qin, Han and Tang dynasties laid the foundation of Chinese civilization, with countless terracotta warriors, Ming city walls, wild goose pagoda, famen temple and tombs. It can be said that the loess in Xi 'an is nothing more than burying the emperor.

2.Xi 'an's snacks. Geographically, Xi has the most borders with other provinces, and is also greatly influenced by local food culture. In addition, as the starting point of the Silk Road, there are many cultural exchanges and the introduction and spread of exotic food culture in history, so there are many kinds of snacks in Xi 'an, which are simply living fossils of food culture. For example, cold rice noodles, biangbiang noodles, shaozi noodles, Chinese hamburger, Huang Gui thick wine, crescent moon cakes twisted with sheep's blood, beef and mutton buns in soup, and hot soup. ...

3. Geographical location. Xi 'an is located in the geographical center of China's territory, an important node of the Longhai Line, and close to the Qinling Mountains, the north-south boundary of China, with convenient transportation.

4. There are dozens of famous universities in Xi 'an, among which there are 6 universities with 2 1 1, and more than half of the national top 10 private universities are located in Xi 'an, which has a huge population inflow and a diffusion effect. Every year, these parents send their children to look after them, which is a considerable passenger flow.

Therefore, it is difficult for Taiyuan to catch up with Xi in tourism.

It is difficult for Taiyuan to develop into a tourism scale like Xi 'an. But Taiyuan tourism has its own characteristics.

Judging from the tourism revenue and the number of tourists.

In 20 17 years, Xi received tourists from home and abroad 18093 14000 person-times, achieving a total tourism revenue of163.3 million yuan.

Taiyuan received a total of 229,500 inbound tourists and 67,577,700 domestic tourists, achieving a total tourism income of 826,543.8+88 million yuan.

There is a considerable gap between Taiyuan and Xi in tourism revenue and the number of tourists.

tourist resources

Xi is one of the best tourist destinations in China, with two and six heritages listed in the World Heritage List. Other scenic spots are Xi City Wall, Bell and Drum Tower, Huaqing Pool, Zhong Nanshan, Datang Furong Garden, Shaanxi History Museum and Xi 'an Historic Forest. As the capital of dynasties, the ancient capital is the biggest feature of Xi's tourism.

Taiyuan's cultural relics include Jinci Garden, Twin Towers Temple, Lingxiao Twin Towers, Longshan Grottoes, Mengshan Giant Buddha, Confucius Temple, Jinyang Ancient City Site and Tianlongshan Grottoes, one of the top ten grottoes in China.

Hmm! It's basically difficult!

The fundamental reason of Xi's tourism fever lies in powerful and irreplaceable soft and hard resources.

Let's talk hard first, it's easier to understand. Terracotta Warriors and Horses, Weighing Weight, Daming Palace, Weighing Weight, Famen Temple, Weighing Weight, Louguantai, Weighing Weight, etc., are all very stylish and exquisite. The golden dragon in the legacy of Libo Datang is only a few centimeters big, but longan and Longlin are meticulous and there are many treasures, right? It is world-class in terms of physical cultural relics resources.

Besides, the cliche is the ancient capital of the 13th Dynasty, with the longest history. As we all know, key figures and events that have a decisive influence on our nation-state have happened here, which naturally makes people of the whole nation yearn for it. I want to have a look. This concept and the above reasons are the fundamental reasons for the popularity of Xi' an tourism! In the Western Zhou Dynasty, Duke Zhou's rites and music were the source of Confucianism. By the time Emperor Wudi of the Han Dynasty decided to oust hundreds of schools here, Confucianism had become the orthodox thought of China people. Do China people want to see if this is where their heads were originally decided? Qin Shihuang unified China and did many things, which determined that our country has been a unified multi-ethnic country for more than 2,000 years, and made reunification an eternal pursuit of the whole nation. Do people in China want to see Qin Shihuang? He's here! Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty repelled the Huns, which laid the foundation for Liaoning, the northern part of the Korean Peninsula, Inner Mongolia, Xinjiang, Yunnan, Guangdong, Guangxi and northern Vietnam, and left us a great living space. Opening up the Silk Road and communicating cultural exchanges between the East and the West have greatly enriched our lives. Do you want to pay a visit to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and write it down? Needless to say, the words "and the coats of many countries bow to the pearl crown". Emperor Taizong and Li Shimin were honored, but few nomadic regimes bowed to the Central Plains dynasty. Don't understand this, China people's cultural self-confidence at least reduced by more than half, because the Central Plains dynasty always rubbed on the ground at other times, and the era of Xi 'an, its capital, was the most dignified era in the history of China people, and China people came here to visit. I saw not only the mighty Terracotta Warriors and Horses, but also exquisite gold and silver wares, as well as the dignity and confidence of China people. Not every city can give you this thing, so it is basically difficult for Taiyuan or other cities to make Xi 'an such a tourist scale and attraction!

Taiyuan impossible, impossible, impossible to say three times! First of all, the total population of Taiyuan is too small to reach one third of Xi 'an! Secondly, the scale of the city and the influence of the cultural circle kill Taiyuan! In addition, the gross national product of Xi 'an is nearly 800 billion, and that of Taiyuan is 340 billion. How can it be compared? In the end, Xi 'an was positioned as a national central city in the west, a center of economy, culture, transportation and science and technology, approaching a megacity with a population of 10 million. Taiyuan gap is too big! To sum up, Taiyuan has a long way to go. It is good to be a civilized, rich and powerful regional central city with excellent living environment! ! !

Taiyuan used to be very brilliant in history, but as a battleground for military strategists, it often suffered from war and destruction in various historical periods. Even during the Republic of China, Taiyuan was famous, but the war of liberation and heavy weapons attack and defense led to the whole city of broken walls. In addition, due to the small area and limited financial resources, after liberation, the urban development space was not re-selected, but a large number of buildings in the old city were demolished, resulting in the destruction and disappearance of a large number of historical remains of an ancient city of more than 2,000 years. This is the helpless historical sorrow of Taiyuan, and there is really no way.

To tell the truth, there are no cultural relics protection units in Taiyuan, and most of them are well preserved. What about Taiyuan? It basically belongs to a street named after cultural relics, but the cultural relics are gone. Secondly, Xi is also a famous gathering place for eating goods. Just look at the size of Huimin Street and the local snack bars all over the street. As for Taiyuan, there is only one food street, which occupies less than one third of Huimin Street, but 90% of the snacks sold in it are from other provinces, while Shanxi is local. Basically no, the Taiyuan municipal government has not paid attention to turning the food street into a street with Shanxi flavor snacks.
