Hero Refuses Dusk has stayed in Shaoguan for more than 20 years and has some understanding of Shaoguan tourism. It can be said that Chenzhou and Shaoguan are connected by a road and a river. Chenzhou Shaoguan, as an excellent tourism city, has its own tourism resources!

Five-star scenic spots, Shaoguan has Danxia Mountain; Chenzhou has Dongjiang Lake! In other respects, it is also true that each county in Shaoguan and Chenzhou has its own unique tourist attractions.

Hero Refuses Dusk believes that Shaoguan’s tourism resources are slightly richer than Chenzhou’s, but the number of tourists is much smaller. Just from the comparison of the number of tourists and income between the two places in 2017, we can know who is stronger and who is weaker: Chenzhou, with a total number of tourists of 58 million, and revenue of 44.7 billion; Shaoguan, with a total number of tourists of 42 million, revenue of 39 billion. Shaoguan has also been weaker than Chenzhou in the past few years. Many people will ask why is this happening?

With tourism resources, everything is ready? Are you getting rich? Wrong! The key is, will anyone come? What’s the use of beautiful scenic spots if no one visits or appreciates them?

Danxia Mountain, a world geological park and a world natural heritage site. They are both five-star scenic spots, but these are things that Chenzhou Dongjiang Lake does not have. But why is Dongjiang Lake so popular but Danxia Mountain not so popular?

Danxia Mountain is a famous scenic spot, but there is no decent hotel with special features. Many guests come here for a quick visit and then rush to Shaoguan or Qingyuan to find a place to stay. It is very difficult. ; Apart from climbing the mountain, there is no reason for tourists to continue "swimming"! Dongjiang Lake has the most beautiful B&Bs and the most beautiful lake, and it is refreshing to go on a cruise ship.

Living in Dongjiang Lake feels like coming home, so why doesn’t this attract tourists?

Nanhua Temple, Yunmen Temple, Maba people, the most beautiful town, Jinji Ridge, the first peak in Guangdong, the Grand Canyon, Hakka Wall, etc., there are too many attractions in Shaoguan. But why aren’t there any visitors (Visitors during the New Year holidays are okay.)? Feitian Mountain Park, Fuquan Villa, Tiantang Hot Spring, Suxianling Scenic Area, Jiulong River Park, etc. in Chenzhou have a lot of tourists!

There is a distance between Shaoguan and Chenzhou in terms of services, culture, humanities, etc.! It is not enough to have tourist attractions alone, but also to have tourism culture, tourism concepts, tourism products, tourism services, and tourism customs. Does Shaoguan have these? Yes, there is a gap!

Travel is a big cake. If we want to make the cake bigger, we should change our old concepts and ideas! If we don’t change, so what if we have cake? You don’t have to eat cake!

Looking at Chenzhou, you don’t know enough! Shaoguan can only catch up! Do you think so?

. Chenzhou and Shaoguan can be said to be separated by a road, a river, lips and teeth. Shaoguan and Chenzhou, as excellent tourism cities, have their own unique tourism resources.

Five-star attractions include Danxia Mountain in Shaoguan and Dongjiang Lake in Chenzhou. In other respects, it's similar. Each county and district in Shaoguan and Chenzhou has its own unique tourist attractions.

The heroes refused to believe that Shaoguan's tourism resources were slightly richer than Chenzhou's at dusk, but there were far fewer tourists. Only by comparing the number of tourists and income in the two places in 2017 can we know who is stronger and who is weaker: Chenzhou had 58 million tourists and 44.7 billion in income. Shaoguan has 42 million tourists and 39 billion in revenue. Shaoguan has also been weaker than Chenzhou in the past few years. Many people will ask why this is the case.

With travel resources, are everything ready? Money rolling in? Wrong. The key is whether anyone will come. No one goes to swim, no one enjoys it, no matter how beautiful the scenery is, what's the use?

Danxia Mountain is a world geopark and a world natural heritage. It is also a five-star attraction that cannot be found in Dongjiang Lake in Chenzhou. But why is Dongjiang Lake popular but Danxia Mountain not?

As a famous scenic spot, Danxia Mountain cannot find a decent hotel with its own characteristics. Many guests come for horseback riding tours and have to rush to Shaoguan or Qingyuan to find a place to stay. They don't do well. There is no reason for tourists to continue "swimming" other than climbing! Dongjiang Lake has the most beautiful residences and the most beautiful lakes. Taking a cruise is relaxing. Living in Dongjianghu is like coming home. Why doesn't it attract tourists?

Nanhua Temple, Yunmen Temple, Maba people, the most beautiful small city, Jinji Ridge, the highest peak in Guangdong, the Grand Canyon, Hakka paddocks, etc. Shaoguan has many attractions. But why are there no visitors? )? There are many tourists from Chenzhou, such as Tianshan Park, Fuquan Villa, Paradise Hot Spring, Suxianling Scenic Area and Jiuzhaigou Valley.

In terms of services, culture, humanities, etc., Shaoguan is not only far away from Chenzhou tourist attractions, but also has tourism culture, tourism concepts, tourism products, tourism services and tourism customs. Are these Shaoguan? Yes, yes, there is a gap!

The tourism industry is a big cake. If we want to make the cake bigger, we should change our old ideas. If there is no change, what if there is cake? People can’t have their cake and eat it too!

Feitian Mountain in Suxian District, Chenzhou City is also a Danxia landform. Chenzhou is much better than Shaoguan.

I am from Guangdong, from Bantian, Shenzhen. When I first arrived in Chenzhou, I felt a lot of emotion. The ecology here is good, the construction is good, and I have a good impression! Tomorrow night I will go to Xiaodongjiang River. I plan to take photos of the wonderland where the river is green and the river is green, under the clouds and mist, and the boat has passed the Ten Thousand Mountains. I am more optimistic about Chenzhou, because it is obvious that as soon as you get off the high-speed train, you will see: Splendid Xiaoxiang, different Chenzhou. What an intoxicating portrayal!

I am from Shaoguan, and I think Chenzhou is better
