Eco-tourism in Houfanzi Town

Houfanzi Town relies on the unique advantages of natural resources and historical and cultural resources, and the town party committee and government firmly grasp the two fist products of "Taibai Mountain" and "Old County" and make a strong attack to create eco-tourism boutique tourist routes. However, the concept of ecotourism has never been forgotten. Under the guidance of ecological theory, the Taibai Mountain, forest, water body, natural landscape and geological landscape resources, as well as the historical relics of the old county are protected. On the premise of folk customs and protecting the original ecological environment, and on the principle of safe and continuous improvement of the living conditions and living environment of all kinds of rare animals (represented by giant pandas), we will moderately develop eco-tourism areas where people can cultivate their sentiments in nature, visit and watch, practice scientific research, explore strange things and go camping. Taibai Mountain is one of the few classic areas with biodiversity in China, where a large area of virgin forests and biodiversity areas are preserved. There are more than 2,500 species of plants here, including 26 rare and endangered plants under state protection, such as monocotyledonous grass and Taibai rice. The vertical distribution of forests here is particularly obvious, including deciduous broad-leaved forest belts in middle and low mountainous areas and needles in Zhongshan area (2300-2800 meters above sea level). Twenty miles loquat forest belt, etc. ), coniferous forest belt (mainly fir and larch) in middle and high mountain areas (2800-3400 meters above sea level), desert shrub meadow belt in high mountain areas (3400-3767 meters above sea level). At the same time, there are many kinds of medicinal plants in Taibai Mountain, which are self-contained. There are many exotic flowers and plants here, and it is known as "Taibai Mountain has no idle grass and treasures everywhere". At the same time, it is also known as "Xishuangbanna in the north, a natural botanical garden".

The lush trees, flowers and ecological environment in Taibai Mountain provide a superior place for the reproduction of various wild animals. According to the investigation, there are 62 species of mammals, 230 species of birds and 435 species of insects/kloc-0 in Taibai Mountain area, which is also a natural gene pool of wild animals. Among them are the national key protected giant panda, golden monkey, pronghorn, leopard, forest musk deer, giant salamander, golden pheasant, Taibai tiger butterfly and so on.

Venus falls between the last peaks of Nanguifeng, hence the name Taibai Mountain. Taibai Mountain is not only a huge treasure house of natural resources, but also has a long history and rich cultural connotation. The amenorrhea ritual activities and related records have been recorded many times in history. Poetry couplets, allusions and legends left by literati have a long history and become an important part of Taibai Mountain's historical and cultural accumulation. Taibai Mountain is a sacred place of Taoism. More than 40 temples, such as Taibai Temple, Wang Yao Temple, Nantianmen Temple and Huangyu Temple, have been built on the mountain and under the mountain.

Among the hundreds of wooded mountains, the site of Foping Tangcheng in Qing Dynasty lies on the Xu Shui River under the winding Paomaliang. The remaining ancient city walls, city gates, steles, sculptures, offices, academies, temples, markets and residential buildings in southern Shaanxi all shine with the brilliance of history and culture. In addition, surrounded by mountains and flowing water, lush forests and sparse cottages are completely beautiful scenery of Xanadu. In Shanshi Town, an old county town, there are rare relief sculptures of three dragons playing beads and stone carvings of roaring sky, which are of great historical and cultural value. No wonder people vividly call the old county town "Shangri-La in the North".

With the continuous improvement of people's material living standards, holiday travel has become a fashion. The party committee and government of the town closely combine the situation of the town, and make a fuss about the word "mountain" on the premise of protecting the ecological environment, so that eco-tourism can lead the people to get rich and run a well-off life. After scientific planning, the town has opened up four scenic spots, namely, the old county scenic spot, the post-Fanzi Tiejia Shengu scenic spot, the Shaliangzi scenic spot and the Damenghe scenic spot, each with its own characteristics. Fanzi Town after Tourism

With the development of eco-tourism industry, there are 40 farmers and 0/00 tour guides in the town, and the transportation, commerce and entertainment services are also booming. According to statistics, the total tourism revenue of the town is about 2 million yuan.

While seeing the broad prospect of tourism benefits, the Party Committee and government of Houfanzi Town always follow the idea of "combining protection with development, and seeking protection through development". On the premise of strictly protecting natural resources, landscape resources and ecological environment, they strive to simultaneously improve social benefits, environmental benefits and economic benefits, and continue to implement "market-oriented, resource-based, promotion-based, management-guaranteed and environment-oriented" in tourism development. Implement the strategy of "promoting development through opening up and seeking development through development", and constantly push the eco-tourism of Fanzi Town to a new level and become a first-class eco-tourism area in China.

Since backstage was approved as a scenic town, it has been followed by arduous tasks. A group of people in the town party Committee and government were not intimidated by difficulties, but bravely stood at the forefront, dared to be the first and keep pace with the times. Focusing on how to plan and build a beautiful Houfanzi town, all members of the team conducted investigation and discussion, based on the scientific decision-making of the town, actively contacted the Municipal Planning and Design Institute and the Municipal Construction Committee, and moved people's hearts with sincerity and affection, and received strong support from the Municipal Construction Committee and other departments. So, after a year of preparation, the construction of a huge town began.
