Characteristics of Tourism Geography in China

China's tourism resources have four characteristics: diversity. China is the country with the richest tourism resources in the world, with various types and functions. Geomorphologically, the absolute height difference from the bottom of Aiding Lake in Turpan Basin 1.55 meters to the world's highest peak, Mount Everest, which is 8844.43 meters above sea level is 9003 meters. China has diverse, aesthetic and different scales of landscapes, which can be said to be unique in the world. Taking tourism climate resources as an example, China not only has zonal and diverse climate changes, but also has distinct three-dimensional climate effects, especially in Hengduan mountainous area, which can be described as "one mountain has four seasons, and ten miles are different from the sky". There are beautiful flowers in the north and south of China all year round, various summer resorts on the coast, mountains, plateaus and high latitudes, the world of snow and ice with silver jade carvings, and Hainan, which can avoid the cold. Diversified landscapes and multifunctional climate resources provide a superior living environment for the biological community, making the natural landscape more colorful.

China is one of the birthplaces of world civilization, which has created brilliant historical achievements. The precious heritage handed down to this day constitutes extremely precious tourism resources. The ancient Chinese civilization is the spiritual wealth of the Chinese people of all ethnic groups. It is not only the crystallization of the fusion of fraternal cultures, but also absorbs the advantages of the cultures of all nationalities in the world, and religious culture has far-reaching influence. China is rich in tourism resources, which is highly guaranteed for development and utilization. Take granite mountain scenery as an example. Huangshan Mountain, which is famous for its strange peaks and rocks, has developed joints and has been eroded by wind and rain. There is Huashan Mountain. Because of the development of faults, the huge granite rock mass stands out in the air, and the spherical weathering caused by the composition characteristics of granite has scattered all kinds of small-scale landscapes with strange shapes. As for the ruins of ancient cities, imperial tombs, Buddhist temples, ancient buildings, garden art and folk customs, they are numerous and colorful, and their resources are rich enough to rank among the top in the world. Ancient China is one of the cradles of ancient humans, and many tourist resources are famous for their long history and ancient culture. Since the founding of People's Republic of China (PRC), a large number of Paleolithic sites have been discovered in 29 provinces, municipalities and autonomous regions. The ancient ape fossils in Xiaolongtan, Kaiyuan, Yunnan belong to the forest archaeopteryx and Lamarcosaurus (see Kaiyuan City). The ancient ape fossils found in Lime Dam in Lufeng, Yunnan Province have a history of 8 million years, and the dragon head bone fossils in Lufeng Lamarck are found for the first time in the world (see Lufeng County). Up to now, the discovered ape-man fossils include Yuanmou man (see Yuanmou county), Lantian man (see Lantian ape-man site), Beijinger (see Zhoukoudian ancient human site), Dingcun man (see Ding Cun cultural site), Changyang man, Dali man, Tongzi man, Liujiang man, Zhiyu man, Ziyang man, caveman, Longtan cave in Anhui county and Jinniu in Yingkou city. Yuanmou people have the earliest history (65,438 07,000 years ago), and other ancient dragons include Yangshao culture (see Yangshao Village Cultural Site), Banpo Site (see An City), Qishan Joo Won?, Fenghao Zhoujing, Xianyang Qin Cheng (see Xianyang City), Jinghang Canal, Wan Li Great Wall (see Great Wall), Terracotta Warriors Pit (see Lintong County) and Yinque Mountain. The antiquity of tourism resources is a great advantage in developing China's tourism industry, especially China's international tourism industry. Strange, from the Great Wall of Wan Li to the hometown of giant pandas, is a unique tourism resource in China. Take the karst landscape as an example. Lunan Stone Forest, the fantastic Xingwen Stone Forest Cave Township, and Shan Qi, Shuiqing and Dongqi Guilin landscape (see Guilin) are all world-famous. Daji Cave in Zhijin was discovered in Guizhou 1980, with a total length of 13km and a maximum span of1750 m. There are various types of karst structures in the cave, and there is also a unique landscape that is rare in the world-the rolling stone developed on stalactites, and its center is penetrated by a hollow tube that seals water storage. The pipe wall is extremely thin and transparent, bending around in the surrounding obstacles. This peculiar karst structure has aroused the interest and concern of tourists and cavemen in the world.

There are countless natural wonders in China, including the annual butterfly pageant in butterfly spring, Dali (see Dali City), birds hanging on Eryuan Mountain, lute frogs that can sing different notes in Emei, willow thunderbirds that change their feathers with the seasons in Daxing 'anling, qiantang bore in Mid-Autumn Festival every year (see Qiantang River), and periodic hydrothermal erupting springs on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau (see Chabu Geyser and Mabangyong Thermal Field).

Cultural wonders are even more colorful, such as Taihō Gui, Mao Gongding and other famous bronzes of the Western Zhou Dynasty unearthed in Joo Won?, and a large number of bronzes found in the No.1 cellar of Fufeng Village in 1976. Among them, the inscription "Historical Wall Plate" is the oldest bronze ware unearthed since 1950s.

The Terracotta Warriors Pit and the bronze chariots and horses of Qin Shihuang Mausoleum are known as the eighth wonder in the world, and the completed Terracotta Warriors Museum attracts millions of tourists every year (see Lintong County). Archaeologists at home and abroad are fascinated by the excavation of the complete female corpse and a large number of silk books in Mawangdui Han Tomb in Changsha, the well-preserved male corpse in Fenghuang Mountain Han Tomb in Jiangling, Jingzhou (see jiangling county), the golden jade clothes in Lingshan Han Tomb in Mancheng (see Mancheng County) and a large number of bamboo slips in Yinque Mountain Han Tomb in Jianyi. These tombs and unearthed cultural relics have become the best places to attract tourists to trace their history.

The murals in Dunhuang Mogao Grottoes are recognized as a treasure house of world art (see Dunhuang Grottoes). Zhenwu Pavilion in Guangxi is also a must in the history of architecture, which is characterized by "the column feet hang down but don't fall down, the three-story wooden pavilion has no nails and no iron, and the stunt is a saint". Located in Lingyun Mountain overlooking the Sanjiang River, Leshan Giant Buddha is the largest stone Buddha in the world (see Leshan City), with a height of 7 1 m and a body width of 28 meters.
