Reasons for the Rich Tourism Resources in Sichuan Basin

The Sichuan Basin is rich in tourism resources because the collision and compression between the Asia-Europe plate and the Indian Ocean plate has caused a strong contrast between the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and the Sichuan Basin, creating a magnificent natural landscape with mountains, canyons, cliffs, waterfalls and many rivers. The warm and humid subtropical monsoon climate shapes and carves the earth's surface, forming colorful karst landforms and lush woodland landscapes all year round.

Sichuan's mountainous landscape mainly attracts tourists with its clearness, quietness and beauty, including Xiling Snow Mountain, Emei Mountain, Qingcheng Mountain, Gongga Mountain and Siguniang Mountain. Among them, Emei Mountain is one of the four famous Buddhist mountains, with a strong humanistic and religious atmosphere. Qingcheng Mountain is a famous Taoist mountain with lush vegetation and is known as "Qingcheng Mountain is quiet in the world".

Characteristics of Sichuan Basin:

Sichuan basin can be clearly divided into two parts: marginal mountains and the bottom of the basin. The marginal mountains are mostly Zhongshan and low mountains. The elements of the landscape are obviously transitional, such as the composition of animals and plants permeating the components of Central China, Southwest China, Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and North China respectively. Generally, there are 2 ~ 5 vertical natural zones from bottom to top in marginal mountainous areas. The marginal mountainous areas are the bases of various economic trees and timber forests in Sichuan.

There is serious soil erosion in agriculture. There are many hills, low mountains and plains at the bottom of the basin. The surface composition is new and single, sandy mudstone and Quaternary sediments. The climate belongs to the middle subtropical zone, and the heat is much higher than that in the marginal mountainous areas, but the precipitation is not as good as that in the marginal mountainous areas. Vegetation is replaced by artificial secondary forest trees, and the coverage rate is low, and the cultivated land is contiguous. Drought and flood in summer are the biggest disasters in this area.
