What are the characteristics of Guizhou?

Guizhou is a province rich in tourism resources in China. At present, a new harmonious tourist destination integrating sightseeing, vacation and in-depth cultural experience is quietly taking shape. As praised by the World Tourism Organization, Guizhou is a "state of ecology, culture, song and dance and wine".

First, the characteristics of tourism resources

Guizhou is a province rich in tourism resources. Its resources are widely distributed, diverse, high-grade and well protected. To sum up, there are five characteristics:

(a) The strangeness of natural landscape composed of special geological features. Guizhou province is located in the southwest of Chinese mainland, with a total area of176,200 square kilometers, with a distance of 595 kilometers from east to west and 500 kilometers from north to south. The terrain is high in the east and low in the west, and the landform belongs to a part of the western plateau and mountains of China. Mountains and hills account for 92.5% of the total area, of which the karst area is about109,000 square kilometers, accounting for 6 1.9%. It is one of the most typical karst landforms in the world. Due to the continuous expansion of the three-dimensional space of karst development, Guizhou karst area is very complicated. Stone bud, funnel sinkhole, shaft, depression, peak forest, peak cluster, natural bridge, karst lake, waterfall, falling water, karst cave, underground river, dark lake, undercurrent, etc. Vertical and horizontal overlapping development on the surface, forming a natural "karst museum" with regional characteristics. The long and wonderful geological structure process has bred all kinds of strange mountains, beautiful waters, waterfalls and strange caves in the province, forming countless natural wonders connecting the ground with the underground and combining static and dynamic. The famous Huangguoshu Waterfall, Dragon Palace, Zhijin Cave, Maling River and seven small arches are typical representatives of this karst kingdom. In 2007, Libo was listed as "Karst in South China" World Natural Heritage.

(2) Cultural originality of multi-ethnic construction. Guizhou province has a total resident population of 39.7548 million, of which ethnic minorities account for 38.9%. There are 18 ethnic minorities living in the world. The cultural factors of different nationalities and regions have been repeatedly collided and internalized, and gradually accumulated at all levels of Guizhou culture. The architecture, clothing, diet, marriage customs, sacrifices, festivals, art and so on of all ethnic groups are rich in colorful humanistic details. As the saying goes, "three miles are different from the wind, ten miles are different from the customs" and "big festivals and small sections are available every day". Walking into ethnic villages, people will find that ancient cultural patterns such as Han and Jin heritage, hair styles in Tang Dynasty, costumes in Song Dynasty, and buildings in Ming and Qing Dynasties are still preserved here and become precious cultural heritage of the Chinese nation.

(3) The profundity of history and culture. Humans may have originated from the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau in China, where humans have completed the evolution from apes to humans. In the Paleozoic era 400-230 million years ago, this area was submerged by seawater several times. A large number of Paleozoic ichthyosaur fossils found in Guizhou indicate that the ancestors of terrestrial vertebrates probably first appeared here. In addition, there are "Tongzi people" in the middle period of the old pottery age, "Shuicheng people" in the middle and late period and "Xingyi people" in the late period in Guizhou. Guizhou is not only one of the cradles of paleontology, but also one of the cradles of ancient humans.

During the Spring and Autumn Period, the Song Dynasty was one of the great powers in Guizhou. In the late Spring and Autumn Period, Yelang replaced Song Si and became more and more powerful. Today, it is not difficult to find traces of Yelang culture in Guizhou. Zhu Yuanzhang, the first emperor of Ming Dynasty, mobilized 300,000 troops from Nanjing and other places to station troops in Guizhou, "opening a line to connect Yunnan", which made Jiangnan culture and plateau mountain culture blend with each other and formed a Tunpu culture with rich connotations. Wang Yangming, known as "the last peak of Confucianism in China" and "the forerunner of modern enlightenment thought", established a generation of study style in Guizhou, the holy land of Wang Xue, and promoted the reform of China's ideological circle; "Zunyi Conference" and "Sidu Chishui" in Guizhou are the most colorful strokes in China's modern and military history, and they are the classics of "Long March Culture".

(D) The liquor culture represented by Moutai is prominent. "Wine" and "swimming" have been inextricably linked since ancient times; Guizhou wine culture has a profound influence on Guizhou tourism. Among all kinds of cultural brands in Guizhou, wine culture is the loudest. Moutai is known as cultural wine, diplomatic wine and health wine. Drinking in ethnic minority villages, we experience a different wine culture. There are many ways to toast and persuade wine, and the wine is accompanied by singing and dancing. No wine, no table, no treat. From the rich aroma of wine, we can taste the customs of all ethnic groups and realize the true meaning of wine culture.

(5) The uniqueness of natural climate in summer. Summer climate resources in Guizhou have become increasingly scarce and precious ecological environment resources. The topography of Guizhou is high in the west and low in the east, and gradually decreases to the north, east and south, with an average elevation of 1 100 meters. Guizhou has a subtropical plateau monsoon climate, which is warm and humid, with no severe cold in winter and no heat in summer. The average annual temperature in most areas is about 65438 05℃. There is abundant precipitation, and the annual precipitation is about 1300mm. There is plenty of sunshine, and the annual sunshine hours are about 1300 hours. The forest coverage rate in the province has reached 40%, and it is increasing by more than one percentage point every year. The average temperature in summer is 23. 1 degree, which has the reputation of natural air-conditioning province, forming an ideal living environment and summer resort.

Second, tourism products.

After more than 20 years of sustainable development, Guizhou has "South China Karst" World Natural Heritage 1, 2 national 5A tourist areas, 3 national 4A tourist areas, Huangguoshu and other national scenic spots 13, 8 national nature reserves such as Fan Jing, 2 national forest parks such as Baili Rhododendron and Zhijindong. There are 4 international national ecological museums such as Liuzhi Suojia, 39 national key cultural relics protection units such as Qinglong Cave, 3 1 national intangible cultural heritage, 56 provincial scenic spots and 0/0.8 million ethnic cultural tourist villages.

At present, Guizhou has formed Guiyang, Anshun, Libo, Kaili-Zhenyuan, Liping-Congjiang-Rongjiang, Xingyi-Anlong, Fanjingshan, Zunyi, Chishui-Xishui-Renhuai, Zhijin-Qianxi, Weining-Liupanshui, Wujiang Canyon and other comprehensive tourist areas and special tourist areas. We are gradually promoting the distinctive cultural brands such as plateau karst ecology, Danxia prickly ecology, Miao and Dong cultural ecology and national culture, Tunpu culture, Long March culture, national wine culture, Yangming culture, cave culture and Yelang culture. Rural tourism characterized by folk experience has become a new highlight of Guizhou tourism. From the spatial distribution of products, an inter-provincial boutique tourism line extending from Guiyang to the southeast and northwest has been formed: the western golden tourism line, which connects expressway and Yunnan along Guiyang to Huangguoshu, and is characterized by enjoying karst landscape and experiencing multi-ethnic culture; Extending eastward to the Miao and Dong nationalities in southeast Guizhou in Guangxi and Hunan, we can experience the original ecological national culture and natural ecology. The green karst in Libo and the cultural tourist routes of Buyi, Shui and Yao nationalities extending southward to Guangxi; The long March culture, wine culture and Danxia scenic tourist line extending northward to Chongqing and the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River. Specifically, it is six key boutique tourist routes:
