Tourism resources in Houtian Township

Moon island

"Moon Island" is a moon-like island in the Ganjiang River. The Ganjiang River flows here and meets the Jinjiang River, and the formed Jiangwan closely surrounds the Moon Island, which is the origin of the name of our Moon Bay scenic spot. Looking at the Moon Island from a height, we may feel that the area is not very large. In fact, it has more than 600 acres of land in Fiona Fang. When we stand in the middle of the island, stepping on the green carpet-like grassland and enjoying the natural pasture of "the sky is grey and wild, the wind blows the grass and the cattle and sheep are low", we can't help but feel immersed in poetry. Friends who like riding horses can also rent a good horse on the island and enjoy horse racing on the grassland.

Taihezhai animal entertainment center

The center was built during the Golden Week of 1/month in 2003, and has received more than110,000 Chinese and foreign tourists since its opening. The center is mainly engaged in famous dog exhibitions, dog fighting performances, running dogs and other projects. The famous dog exhibition area brings together hundreds of domestic and foreign purebred famous ornamental dogs. Dog fighting originated from the animal fighting performance in ancient Rome. Two strong fighting dogs bite and fight each other, which embodies a spirit of going forward bravely and always striving for the first place. In the Macao Special Administrative Region, running dogs are very popular. The purpose of launching this project in the scenic spot is to let everyone enjoy the fun of running dogs in Macao without crossing the ocean.

Shaquan sanatorium

Shaquan is a natural spring in the scenic spot, which is a trickle all the year round, clear and sweet. There is a dense virgin forest behind the sand spring. These ancient trees have experienced thousands of years of wind and rain, recording the changes of thick fields from oases with abundant water plants to barren and depressed deserts. Shaquan water has nurtured nearby villagers for generations, living and farming on it. Legend has it that this is the fountain that Dragon Prince gave to Houtian people in order to reduce the harm caused by Kowloon Son to local people. Sand spring is warm in winter and cool in summer. It contains many minerals that are beneficial to human health.

Western leisure park

Western Style Leisure Park is jointly built by Houtian Desert Eco-tourism Scenic Area and Ningxia Tourism Association. Visitors can enjoy western folk performances in Mongolian tent camps and taste authentic roast whole sheep. Join the camel and horse team, so that you can enjoy the desert customs in the west while you are in the south of the Yangtze River.

Theme activities

1, Houtian Desert International Sand Sculpture Festival

From September 28th, 2003 to 2004, Houtian Eco-tourism Scenic Area cooperated with Zhoushan International Sand Sculpture Company and successfully held the first Houtian Desert International Sand Sculpture Festival. Show the world a large-scale sand sculpture culture with the theme of "One World", which combines the five architectural arts of eight wonders of the world and Jiangxi. Five internationally renowned sand sculptors and five domestic sand sculptors were invited from Spain to carve 15 large single sand sculpture. The total sand consumption reaches 2500 cubic meters.

As a marginal art based on water and sand, sand sculpture, which is popular all over the world, combines sculpture, painting, architecture, sports, outdoor entertainment and other elements. It is an elegant and popular popular art and a fashionable, healthy and passionate tourism and leisure entertainment project. Sand sculpture, also known as the art of quick decay, is easy to obtain and operate. Carving is a combination of piling, digging and digging. After the carving is completed, special glue is sprayed on the outside to reinforce it, which usually lasts for several months. It can be decomposed naturally in a certain period of time and will not pollute the environment.

Houtian Desert, with its unique natural landscape of "beach, clear water, blue sky and grassland" perfectly combined with sand sculpture art, transcends the boundaries of sculpture art, has strong visual impact and rough artistic shock, and is a harmonious unity of natural beauty and artistic beauty.
