What are the main uses of coastal beach resources in Jiangsu Province?

The existing tidal flat area in China is more than 3.5 million hectares, and the development and utilization of tidal flat resources is one of the important ways to alleviate the population pressure in China. Tidal flat is the earliest place for human beings to develop and utilize the ocean. Since ancient times, it has been closely linked with tidal flats. Modern beach development is increasing day by day, and a new round of beach development is booming. The government's participation in the western development and its attention to the development of tidal flat resources have aroused widespread concern in society. Beach is an important place to develop marine tourism. No matter the beach or mudflat, we can develop distinctive coastal tourism resources.

With the development of society, people's cognition, expectation and value orientation of tourism are also changing. They are not satisfied with the traditional level of sightseeing and entertainment, but pursue a higher level of tourism. As a high-level tourism activity, the development of eco-tourism in the eastern coastal beach has adapted to the change of tourism market demand. We should make full use of the unique beach resources and develop distinctive tourism products to meet the needs of tourists and promote the development of tourism.

It accounts for%19.6438+01.985+08.3380+000 of the whole country.

Jiangsu Province has the largest coastal tidal flat wetland in China, with a total area of 658,000 hectares. Jiangsu coastal beach is located in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, Huaihe River and Mu Yi, and in the middle of the coastal area of China, with a very advantageous geographical position. 1 coastlines of coastal provinces and cities, and coastal beaches and shallow waters within-15m isobath are 953.8km long. Tidal flat resources are very rich, accounting for 1/4 of the national tidal flat area, with a total area of 9.8 million mu, ranking first among coastal provinces and cities in China, mainly distributed in Lianyungang, Yancheng and Nantong. Compared with the development of marine tourism in coastal provinces and cities in China, although the beach area and shallow sea area of Jiangsu Province are in the forefront of the country (see table 1), the development of marine tourism is quite slow compared with Shandong in the north and Zhejiang in the south.

First, the necessity of developing Jiangsu coastal beach tourism resources

1. Give full play to regional advantages and form regional characteristics.

Jiangsu coastal areas are rich in beach tourism resources. At present, tens of thousands of mu of beaches have been reclaimed, forming high-yield breeding bases, agriculture and animal husbandry bases, salt industry bases and coastal rare bird nature reserves, forming coastal economic characteristics. The full development and utilization of beach resources is a good foundation for the development of agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry and by-fishing, and also a rare treasure for the development of modern tourism. If it can be developed reasonably, it will be very beneficial to the economic development of coastal areas. The development of coastal beach ecotourism in Jiangsu Province is still in the primary stage, and a large number of natural resources have not been developed and utilized. We should make full use of our own advantages to develop and constantly introduce characteristic eco-tourism products to adapt to the general trend of tourism development and the needs of tourists.

2. Enhance attractiveness and promote opening up.

Although Jiangsu coastal areas contain huge resource potential, they are currently in the weak zone of national coastal economic development and have little attraction to the outside world. The main reason is that the infrastructure is relatively weak, especially the transportation, energy and communication are underdeveloped, which is called the "economic depression" in the coastal areas of the country. Through the development and construction of coastal beach tourism, we will provide various preferential policies for foreign investors to invest here, build convenient services such as sea, land and air transportation and various tourism projects, and build it into a national coastal transportation hub and a gold coast to attract foreign investors to invest or travel, thus promoting the construction of the gold coast.

3. Produce agglomeration effect and accelerate coastal construction.

At present, the potential advantages of the whole coast are only scattered advantages, and the development and construction have not yet formed comprehensive advantages and effects, and many development and construction projects lack due substantive links. For example, there is a lack of proper connection between developing tourism projects and developing other service projects. The development and construction of eco-tourism in coastal beaches can tap potential advantages, gather scattered advantages, form aggregation effect and comprehensive environmental effect, and accelerate the pace of construction of the Gold Coast.

4. Develop beach tourism to meet the needs of development.

At present, the further development of Jiangsu's tourism along the Yangtze River has been obviously limited by the tourism space capacity. The main reason is that the tourism resources along the Yangtze River, especially in Taihu Lake tourist area, have been basically developed and are in an over-utilization state, mainly manifested in the slow growth of the number of tourists. At the same time, due to the rapid economic development along the Yangtze River, the development momentum of tourism is overheated and environmental pollution is becoming increasingly serious. For example, the distribution of Taihu Lake scenic spots is too concentrated and the water pollution is serious, which affects the sustainable development of tourism in this area. The basic pattern of Jiangsu tourism centered on the areas along the Yangtze River, especially Taihu Lake tourist area, has been difficult to maintain the sustainable development of Jiangsu tourism. It is necessary to open up new development space and cultivate new growth points, and coastal tourism can completely become a new growth space for Jiangsu tourism development.

Second, Jiangsu coastal beach tourism development and construction conditions

1. Rich tourism resources have their own characteristics.

(1) Nature Reserve with distinctive features.

Each nature reserve has different landscapes and distinctive features, or shows the vitality of nature with rare birds and animals, or makes people feel refreshed with majestic mountains and seas, which will inevitably have great attraction and broad development prospects for tourists. Three national nature reserves have been established in Jiangsu coastal areas:

① Dafeng Elk Nature Reserve, located in Yaerdang, Dafeng Forest Farm, with an area of10.5 million mu. The nature reserve is divided into three grazing areas: the core area is 45 mu, the middle area is 18 15 mu, and the peripheral area is 13 140 mu. Elk is a rare animal in the world, because its horns are like deer, its head is like a horse, its body is like a donkey, and its hooves are like cows.

(2) Red-crowned Crane Nature Reserve, which consists of coastal beaches in Sheyang with a total area of 3.387 million mu, of which the core area is 6.5438+0.8 million mu. Red-crowned crane, commonly known as crane, symbolizes auspiciousness, health and longevity, nobility and elegance. It is a rare bird in the world and a national first-class protected animal. Yancheng Beach is known as "the second hometown of red-crowned cranes", which provides a good wintering habitat for red-crowned cranes.

③ Yuntai Mountain Forest Ecological Nature Reserve, located in the suburb of Lianyungang on the coast of the Yellow Sea, is the main peak of Yuntai Mountain-Yunv Mountain, with an altitude of 625.3 meters, which is the first peak in Jiangsu. The natural ecological environment of Yuntai Mountain is very superior, with green trees, flowers and fruits all over Shan Ye and lush clouds. It has become the best-preserved "vegetation island" in the northern Jiangsu plain and is known as "the first scenic spot in the East China Sea".

⑵ Coastal scenery

Jiangsu coastal areas have long coastline and beautiful scenery, which can be divided into bedrock coast and muddy coast according to geological types. The bedrock coast is mainly distributed in Lianyungang, which is an ideal choice for developing coastal eco-tourism and a tourist attraction integrating eco-tourism and agricultural tourism. Muddy coast is mainly distributed in Yancheng, northern Jiangsu Province, which provides a huge reserve resource for the development of tourism, and can be used as a variety of landscape development such as silting in the south and erosion in the north and radiating sandbars. The colorful coastal landscape will surely attract more and more Chinese and foreign tourists to experience the charm of the sea and see its elegant demeanor.

(3) Biological wonders

Jiangsu coastal beaches are wide and flat, with deep soil layers and abundant animal and plant resources. From the perspective of developing tourism, many biological wonders can be developed as tourism resources. In the vast, spectacular and endless tidal flat scenery belt, there are various seafood and tidal flat animal and plant resources. It is rich in shellfish such as green clams, mud snails, meretrix meretrix, and four-corner clams, as well as marine life such as fish, shrimp and crabs. Among them, because of the shallow burial depth of benthos, even tourists who have no experience in catching the sea can carry out fishing activities. Nantong launched a leisure tourism project called "Disco at Sea", which received a good response. Mudnails, snails and hermit crabs can be seen everywhere on the beach, and tourism activities with the theme of "elegant fishermen" can be carried out. Let tourists and fishermen go to the sea to collect seafood, experience the life of fishing villages, and feel the homesickness of fishermen and marine fishery culture.

(4) Folk customs

Folk custom, as an extremely important content in the tourist cultural landscape, plays a special role with its unique style. For a long time, people in coastal areas have been mainly engaged in fishery, salt industry and agriculture. Since ancient times, folk customs are simple, and the long-standing folk customs are of great development value for tourism projects. Take Yancheng as an example, there are mainly two kinds of folk customs: ① customs at the age of one. Local fishermen spontaneously hold dragon boat races every year during the Dragon Boat Festival. This kind of coastal fishermen's dragon boat race is quite different from those in Hunan and Guangdong, with strong local characteristics from the decoration of the "dragon boat" to the costumes of the players, from the rules of the competition to the setting of the championship. In addition, there are many solar terms such as the Spring Festival and Lantern Festival, so I won't introduce them one by one. (2) production and living customs. Fishermen at the seaside have to hold sacrificial activities before going fishing, which is extremely serious and solemn, and the clothes worn by farmers in different seasons and on different occasions are also of great ornamental value. The production and living customs of coastal residents can easily arouse tourists' strangeness and freshness, which is a good human resource for developing tourism.

2. Excellent geographical location and convenient transportation.

Jiangsu coastal zone is located in the coastal center of China, and it is the channel and hub for the north-south communication along the coast. The East Longhai Railway runs through the northern part of this area. It starts from Lianyungang in the east, crosses the Central Plains and reaches the northwest of China in the west. It is the gateway to the outside world and an important economic and trade place in the Longhai-Lanzhou New Economic Belt. Jiangsu is located in the throat of the golden waterway, facing Suzhou and Shanghai across the Yangtze River in the south. East of the Yellow Sea, it can reach many ports at home and abroad; In the west, the Yangtze River is connected with cities in the middle and upper reaches. Ninglian and expressway, Tong Ning, connect this area with Nanjing, the provincial capital, and the transportation network extends in all directions.

3. The source of tourists is stable and the market is broad.

With the implementation of the weekend and the opening of expressway, coastal surrounding cities, including Shanghai, Suzhou, Wuxi, Changzhou, Nantong, Yangzhou, Hefei, Wuhu and Hangzhou, have entered the geographical scope of two-day (three-day) tours. The active traffic, the increase of leisure time and the improvement of people's income level should drive Jiangsu beach eco-tourism to a new level. We should seize the opportunity to develop coastal beach tourism, create new tourist hotspots, and turn rich tourists into tangible tourism benefits. And close to the Yangtze River Delta with Shanghai as the center, the tourist market is stable and reliable. At the same time, Lianyungang is the closest coastal area to the Central Plains and Northwest China. Its economic hinterland accounts for 36.5% of the land area and 24.5% of the total population. It is the most convenient seaport for eleven provinces and regions including East China, Northwest China and Central China. With the opening of the Eurasian Continental Bridge, residents in arid and semi-arid areas will be driven to Jiangsu coastal areas.

4. Stable policies and an open environment

Since the reform and opening up, China's policy stability, social stability, economic development, and the state's emphasis on tourism development have provided a good internal environment for the development of tourism. Coupled with the change of people's consumption concept and the improvement of appreciation grade, the development strategy of coastal export-oriented economy is facing excellent opportunities, which is very beneficial to the development and construction of coastal beach tourism. Lianyungang is one of the earliest coastal open cities in China and the eastern bridgehead of the New Eurasian Continental Bridge. Nantong is the first large port city in the north of the Yangtze River and one of the coastal open cities. Known as the "first window of the Yangtze River" and "Pearl of the Yangtze River".

5. Leaders attach importance to social support.

In the process of developing and constructing coastal beach tourism resources, leaders at all levels have given great attention and support and have always attached great importance to beach development and construction projects. The government attaches great importance to the development of coastal beach tourism, and provides sufficient guarantee and superior preconditions in many aspects such as capital, land and investment environment. Moreover, people in coastal areas have long been looking forward to building coastal areas into gold coasts, showing great enthusiasm and giving strong support to speeding up the development and construction of beaches, and their initiative and enthusiasm in investing in tourism are very high. The increasingly affluent public's desire for leisure time tourism, leisure and entertainment will become a great driving force for the development of beach tourism. At the same time, it also enlightens us that the time is ripe for the development of coastal beach tourism, and we should seize the opportunity and intensify efforts to make it come naturally.
