The development of history

Jianchang House was built in Tang Dynasty, Jianchang Road was built in Yuan Dynasty, and Wei was changed to Ming Dynasty. In the sixth year of Yongzheng in Qing Dynasty, Xichang County was established. This city is in the west of Jianchang old city in Tang Dynasty, hence its name. Xichang county originally belonged to Xichang area. 1979, the former Liangshan Yi Autonomous Prefecture and Xichang area merged to form a new Liangshan Yi Autonomous Prefecture, and Xichang area was revoked. Xichang county was founded on 1979 and became the state capital.

On April 30, 2003, Anha Town was newly built in Xichang City, and the town government was stationed in the former Luoshan Breeding Farm Department, which was under the jurisdiction of the former Luoshan Breeding Farm Department and the administrative areas of its four villages (Reply of Sichuan Provincial People's Government [2003] 14).

History and culture

Xichang has been an important town in the southwest of the motherland since ancient times. Since the Qin and Han Dynasties, all previous regimes have set up counties, prefectures and states here, and appointed officials. For example, in the sixth year of Emperor Ding Yuan of the Han Dynasty (A.D.11), Sima Xiangru was sent as an envoy to build Du Qiong (now Xichang) and Yuexi County, which was under the jurisdiction of 15 County, belonging to Yizhou. Although the jurisdiction has been changing since then, the jurisdiction of Zhou, Zhou and Sifu is still in Xichang.

Therefore, Xichang has always been an ancient cultural city with a history of more than 2,000 years (it has been listed as a provincial-level cultural city in Sichuan Province). At the same time, Xichang is also called "Moon City" because of its good conditions such as altitude, temperature, sunshine, latitude and longitude, less suspended matter in the atmosphere and bright and round moon.

Ecological resources

In late autumn and early winter, groups of migratory birds will fly to Qionghai-about 50 species, such as egrets, herons, geese, herons, mandarin ducks, pond herons, swans and mallard ducks, red-dot ducks and sand autumn ducks. It can be said that this is a beautiful scenery and unique tourism resources, and Xichang citizens are eager to have a "Bird Festival".

In the official introduction of Xichang's tourism resources, no matter "four business cards", "six honors" or the list of 24 tourism festivals in Xichang in 2009, we didn't see a word about Qionghai Waterbirds, and those elves were left out in the cold.

The tourism department has not separated the "human-bird sentiment" that marks and reflects the harmonious, caring, harmonious and happy urban customs of Xichang from the simple expressions such as "Xichang has beautiful mountains and rivers and charming scenery" and "Xichang is a famous sun city", and has made it a brand festival and urban cultural brand full of cultural characteristics and close to the citizens.

Bird watching in Qionghai is a great pleasure to visit Qionghai. This year's Spring Festival, the reporter took his family and friends to visit Qionghai. Although many migratory birds have left the sunny Qionghai, there are still many seagulls dancing in the colorful Qionghai. Those white seagulls, giant cranes and herons are like fairies playing with people in a dream lake. Those birds are reflected in the sky, and those laughter and laughter are printed in the hearts of countless tourists. The reporter learned from Qionghai Administration that every year in late autumn and early winter, groups of migratory birds fly to Qionghai-about 50 species, such as swan, egret, egret, geese, heron, red-spotted duck, mandarin duck, pond heron, wild duck and sand autumn duck. It can be said that this is a beautiful scenery and unique tourism resources. This not only reminds me of the red-billed gull, it is the honor of Kunming.
