What are the characteristics and distribution of tourism resources in China?

(1) Tourism resources are one of the top ten resources in China.

The book "Resources in China" published by the Environment and Resources Protection Committee of People's Republic of China (PRC) National People's Congress points out that China has ten major resources, namely land resources, water resources, mineral resources, energy resources, climate resources, forest resources, grassland resources, species resources, marine resources and tourism resources. According to the report, China's tourism resources have obvious advantages and great attraction in the world. China has a vast territory, beautiful mountains and rivers, a long history and many ethnic groups. In the long history and vast territory, it has formed incomparably rich tourism resources, which provides great potential for the development of China's tourism industry.

(2) Four characteristics of China tourism resources.

① Diversity China is one of the countries with the richest tourism resources in the world, with various types and functions. China is unique in the world with its diverse, aesthetic and different scales of landscape. From the bottom of Aiding Lake in Turpan Basin at an altitude of 155 meters to Mount Everest, the highest peak in the world at an altitude of 8848.438+03 meters, the absolute height difference is 9003 meters. China not only has zonal climate change, but also has distinct three-dimensional climate effect, especially the Hengduan Mountains, which is known as "one mountain with four seasons, and ten miles of different days". China, east, west, north and south, has beautiful flowers. There are not only various types of seaside, mountain, plateau and summer resorts at high latitudes, but also the world of snow and ice wrapped in silver, and Hainan Island, a leisure resort to avoid the cold. Diversified landscapes and multifunctional climate resources provide a superior living environment for the biological community, making the natural landscape more colorful.

No matter from the perspective of tourism resources supply or tourism consumption, China has all kinds of resources and elements of world tourism activities, and can develop all kinds of tourism products suitable for modern tourism trends. Few countries have such a diverse and complicated tourism resource system as China, which is due to China's vast territory, complex geology and diverse climate, and China's long history and developed civilization. The richness and diversity of resource types is an important feature of tourism resources in China.

(2) Abundance China's tourism resources are not only diverse, but also rich in various resources, which have the characteristics of various scales, years, forms, laws and categories. Whether it's ancient buildings, ruins of ancient cities, imperial tombs, Buddhist temples, garden art, folk customs, or natural landscapes, lakes, rivers, mountains and rivers, and Yuan Ye, they are all colorful and numerous, and their resources are rich enough to rank among the top in the world. Taking the granite mountain landscape as an example, Huangshan Mountain, which is famous for its strange peaks and rocks and the creation of the world, has both joint development and wind and rain erosion. There is Huashan Mountain, where the huge granite mass is suddenly in the air due to the development of faults, which is said to be absolutely dangerous; There are also spherical differentiation caused by the main peak characteristics of granite, and various small-scale landscapes with strange shapes are scattered everywhere.

(3) Ancient China is one of the cradles of ancient human beings and world civilization. The precious heritage handed down to this day constitutes extremely precious tourism resources, among which there are many tourism resources with a long history, ancient culture and profound foundation. The ancient Chinese civilization is the spiritual wealth of the people of all ethnic groups in the Chinese nation, the crystallization of the cultural integration of all brothers, and has absorbed the strengths of all ethnic groups in the world. Since the founding of People's Republic of China (PRC), a large number of Paleolithic sites have been discovered in 32 provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the Central Government. The ancient ape fossils in Xiaolongtan, Kaiyuan, Yunnan belong to forest archaeopteryx and Lamarck. The ancient ape fossils found in Lime Dam in Lufeng, Yunnan Province have a history of 8 million years. Among the numerous ancient human remains, Yuanmou man has the earliest history (10.7 million years ago), Gulong ancient human remains in Zhoukoudian are the richest, and a skull of Longtan cave ape-man fossils is the most complete. The antiquity of China's tourism resources also shows that thousands of years ago, China's ancestors developed and invented a series of arts and crafts and magnificent buildings, leaving a brilliant chapter in the history of world civilization. Yangshao culture, Banpo ruins, Yinxu in Anyang, Qin Cheng in Xianyang, Beijing-Hangzhou Canal, Wan Li Great Wall, Terracotta Warriors and Horses Pit, etc. Are famous for their antiquity.

(4) Strangeness China has numerous unique tourism resources. In terms of natural wonders, there are annual butterfly pageant in butterfly spring, Dali, birds hanging on Eryuan Mountain, lute frogs that can sing different notes in Emei, Qiantang spring tide in Mid-Autumn Festival every year, periodic hydrothermal explosion springs in Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and rime near Songhua River in Jilin. Cultural wonders are more colorful. 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 built Terracotta Warriors Museum attracts millions of tourists every year. The complete female corpse of Mawangdui Han Tomb in Changsha and a large number of silk books, the well-preserved male corpse of Fenghuang Mountain Han Tomb in Jiangling, the golden jade clothes of Lingshan Han Tomb in Mancheng, the ancient city of Loulan and many historical sites on the Silk Road, and the Han Tomb in Xuzhou, these tombs and unearthed cultural relics and treasures have become the best places to attract tourists to trace back to history.

Dunhuang Mogao Grottoes is recognized as a treasure house of world art. Leshan Giant Buddha is located in Lingyun Mountain, overlooking the Sanjiang River. It is the largest stone statue in the world, with a height of 7 1 m and a body width of 28 meters.
