Generally speaking, Wuxi has superior natural endowment and rich tourism resources, which can be described by 20 words, namely, Shanda, Shuiling, Tiqi, Lin Mao, Shi Wen, Dianduo, Shiyuan, Hou Wen, Gu Zhen and Minchun. Can be summarized as "three old people" casting "three gods":

One is the magic that God has given us. The topography of Wuxi is mainly mountainous, with steep slopes and criss-crossing gullies, with the lowest elevation of 139.4m and the highest elevation of 2796.8m, among which the main peak, Yintiaoling, is called "the first peak in Chongqing". Yintiaoling and Shennongjia are isomorphic to form the "roof" of the Three Gorges in China. Yintiaoling in Wuxi and Jixinling, known as the "national natural heart", are both exploration mountains. The Daning River, known as "the first stream in the world", has beautiful scenery and dangerous peaks and canyons everywhere. The wonderful gorge of Daning River is called "the crown of the Three Gorges". Wuxi has complex geological landform and numerous dangerous peaks and canyons, and Lingwu Cave is the representative of the famous karst landform, among which the He Yanzi Grand Canyon (Wuxi Grand Canyon) is the grand canyon with the most visual impact in the whole Three Gorges area. The forest coverage rate of Wuxi reaches 5 1.8%, making it the first county of forest resources in Chongqing. Wild plants include kiwifruit, wintersweet and ginkgo. Davidia involucrata, Metasequoia glyptostroboides and other national first-class protected plants. The main wild animals in the forest are roe deer, muntjac, deer, wild goat, antelope, monkey, bear, cuckoo and giant salamander.

The second is the mystery left by our ancestors. Wuxi has a long history, and its ancestors thrived five thousand years ago. Historically, administrative districts overlap more frequently, and their affiliation is variable. The evolution of counties, counties, prisons and prefectures is varied. Wuxi has a rich history. From Xia, Shang and Zhou Dynasties, Yanma Avenue was formed in Chongqing, Shaanxi and Hubei, and salt officials were set up in Wuxi County in Qin and Han Dynasties. Ningxian, a facility in the Southern and Northern Dynasties; Hongchiba in Wuxi is the former residence of Chun, the prime minister of Chu during the Warring States Period. Wuxi is a Daxi cultural area, which began in the Neolithic Age and is rich in culture. This land is prosperous because of salt, which once opened up a paradise of "eating without plowing and clothing without weaving". Taking salt culture and medicine culture as the main body, it created a witch culture that was born at about the same time as Chinese culture in the Central Plains, and became the main birthplace of ancient witch culture in China. 1932, Marshal He Long's Western Expedition sowed red seeds in Wuxi, and the revolutionary martyr Peng Yongwu also left a loyal revolutionary soul here. Chang-Soo Jin, one of the archetypal figures in The Old Woman with Two Guns, died in Jianshan Town, our county. Wuxi Ningchang Ancient Town is the first batch of famous historical and cultural towns announced by the municipal government. It is one of the oldest and most culturally rich ancient towns in the Three Gorges reservoir area, and it is also the only well-preserved ancient town in the reservoir area after the completion of the Three Gorges Project. The ancient town has a history of salt making for more than 5000 years. In the era of Tang Yao, this was the location of the first meeting (or tribe) in Wuxian County, where there was the glory of "a spring of white jade and a golden stream in Wan Li". It is also the birthplace of ancient human civilization in the Three Gorges area, which is called the "ancient salt capital" and the "originator" of handicraft workshops in the world.

The third is the magic created by the people for us. Wuxi folk customs are simple and mellow, and witchcraft is mysterious and distant. There are folk customs such as dragon boat racing in Ningchang ancient town, mourning in Ninghe River, night songs of Bashan Mountain, folk drum music and lion dance in Dahe Township, religious etiquette relics such as Long Jun Temple and yuntaiguan, legends such as the white deer pumping water from the spring and the goddess of salt water, and Wushan Goddess and Wuxi "immortal". Folk songs and dances such as folk songs, shadow play, witch dance, fitness witch dance and witch song are unique. At the same time, the city-level sanitary county and civilized county have been successfully established, the old county reconstruction project has been started, and the longest artificial fitness trail in the Three Gorges reservoir area, Wanbu Ladder, has been built, and the development of Ningchang ancient town is about to start.

It is the "three gods" created by the "three elders" that make our tourism resources have the foundation to become national and international tourism destinations, and the specific advantages are manifested in the "five best":

One is the oldest. As early as ancient times, Wu Xian, the leader of the witch people, led his people to bury pots and make salt in the ancient town of Ningchang, Wuxi, and established the ancient country of Wu Xian, thus becoming the teacher of Emperor Yao. According to Shan Hai Jing, one of the ancestors of human beings, Wu Xian and other "Ten Witches" are descendants of Baoyuan Mountain in Ningchang ancient town, which gave birth to a long-standing witch culture. The hometown and the first meeting place of Wuxian Kingdom is the ancient town of Ningchang in Wuxi today. Ningchang ancient town thrives on salt. Ningchang Salt Spring is one of the two earliest natural salt springs discovered in China and one of the top ten strange springs in the world. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Ba Rong of Qin and Chu fought for salt springs for hundreds of years. This place belonged to Bayong first, then to Ba, then to Chu, until Qin was unified. It created "dividing Qin Chu into Han and Tang Dynasties" and became the main birthplace of ancient witch culture in China.

The second is the most mysterious culture. Wuxi's tourism resources and culture are full of mystery. Among them, witchcraft culture has the most far-reaching and extensive influence, which not only affects Taoist culture, literature and art, but also affects all fields and aspects of human production and life. Mainly spread among the people, the main manifestations are: jumping tail, melting Jiulong water, going up to the knife mountain, going down to the oil pan, fixing roots, calling snakes, avoiding water, avoiding fire, licking pliers, telling yin, stabbing brushes, topping pots and so on. According to textual research, "Witch Man" is one of the ancestors of China people, and witch culture is the fundamental source of China culture and philosophy. In addition, there are well-known "three mysteries of Wuxi"-savage, ancient plank road and hanging coffin. Ba people's hanging coffins are the earliest and largest in Wuxi. Jingzhuba rock coffin group is the earliest, most concentrated and most intact ancient rock coffin group found in the Three Gorges area. Wuxi's history and culture, represented by Chunshenjun's former residence in Hongchiba, also has ancient, legendary and romantic charm.

The third is the oldest town. Ningchang ancient town is the only ancient town in the Three Gorges reservoir area that has not been submerged, and has a history of making salt for more than 5,000 years. It is one of the first ten famous historical and cultural towns announced by Chongqing Municipal Government. The ancient town is built by mountains and rivers, winding 3.5 kilometers along the river, commonly known as "Qili Half Street". Ningchang ancient town used to be the economic, cultural and political center of border trade between Chongqing, Shaanxi and Hubei, and created the earliest "shareholding system" in human history by "paying taxes by shares"; The earliest paper money in human history was created by salt tickets before "Jiaozi"; 1506 The extended wealth-making uprising that broke out here was more than 300 years earlier than the industrial workers' movement in Europe and should be the source of the world workers' movement.

The fourth is the most wonderful landscape. Wuxi is famous for its deep valleys, dangerous peaks, Shan Qi, strange rocks, clear water, secluded caves and rare birds and animals. It can be called "the hometown of folk music, a paradise on earth", and its main landscape includes "the first alpine grassland in South China"-Hongchiba National Forest Park. Daguanshan Grassland, the "Oriental Tianshan Mountain", is one of the famous "Five Medicinal Mountains" in history. "The First Garden of Three Gorges"-Yintiaoling Nature Reserve, with a main peak of 2796.8 meters, is the highest peak in Chongqing. Xiabing Cave, a world wonder of "melting in winter and freezing in summer". The Guanmiao Gorge Scenic Spot, the crown of the Three Gorges of Daning River. Yuntai Temple, the "crown of ancient temples in eastern Sichuan". "The First Cave in the Three Gorges Reservoir Area"-Lingwu Cave Scenic Area and so on.

The fifth is the most primitive ecology. Wuxi has a complete ecosystem and diverse biological species. The county's forest coverage rate is 5 1.8%, the woodland area accounts for 60.95% of the county's total land area, and the total standing stock is 8.5 million cubic meters, making it the first county in Chongqing's forest resources. The main wild plants are kiwifruit, wintersweet and ginkgo, and the first-class protected plants in China are Davidia involucrata, Metasequoia glyptostroboides and juniper. There are more than 30 kinds of wild animals such as roe deer, muntjac, deer, wild goat, antelope, monkey, bear, cuckoo and giant salamander.

The second sentence: "Wuxi is no longer far away", looking forward to discovering the charm of Wuxi.

First, the geographical location is no longer far away. In everyone's impression, everyone thinks Wuxi is very remote. Actually, I want to tell you that Wuxi is not far away. I want to explain it to you from three time nodes. First, this month, the whole line of expressway from Fengjie to Chongqing was connected, and Wuxi came from Fengjie, so the driving time was shortened to five hours. For the driver, driving for five hours will not be very tiring, but you can also experience the fun of driving. Second, the municipal government has made it clear that in 20 12, the entire line of Fengxi Expressway will be connected. By then, the time from Wuxi to Chongqing and Yichang will be shortened to less than 4 hours, which will be the best choice for travelers and road trip enthusiasts. Wuxi is a good place for tourists from the main city of Chongqing and Yichang. Third, during the Twelfth Five-Year Plan period, the construction of the Zhang 'an-Changzhou Railway will start, and the extension project of Fengxi expressway to the north will start. Together with the planning and construction of Wuxi, Fengjie and Wushan "Golden Triangle" airports, Wuxi will form a smooth three-dimensional transportation network.

Second, the root culture inherits history. On June 17, organized by the Propaganda Department of the Municipal Party Committee, we successfully held the first China/Chongqing Forum on Chinese Witch Culture, and more than 70 domestic experts conducted in-depth interpretation and research on witch culture. At the forum, experts affirmed the root value of witch culture. It is generally believed that witch culture is one of the root cultures in China, and it belongs to the same culture as the Yellow River civilization and the Central Plains civilization. Wu Bingan, a well-known folklorist, folk artist and deputy director of the National Intangible Cultural Heritage Protection Expert Committee, said: "Witch culture is one of the ancient civilizations, the culture of mothers and grandmothers, the cradle of human culture and the earliest foundation of human society. Rooted in the Three Gorges area and the two major river basins in China, the Yangtze River culture can also absorb the essence of the Three Gorges culture from the source, and no one can erase it. Witch culture has a very deep foundation here. "

Third, ancient memories are still changing. Ningchang Ancient Town is an ancient town with a history of 5,000 years. It is famous for its salt. There are many wonderful legends about salt here. Following the history of salt, it gave birth to the glory of "a spring flowing with white jade and Wan Li flowing with gold", with salt culture and medical culture as the main body, which is the main birthplace of ancient witch culture in China. Wuxi county is an ancient county with a history of 3000 years, and its architectural style still retains the Ming and Qing styles. There are folk customs in Wuxi, such as Ninghefu, Mourning, Bashan Nightsong, folk drum music, religious etiquette relics such as Long Jun Temple and yuntaiguan, and legends such as Bailuyuan, the goddess of salt water. Folk songs and dances such as folk songs and witch dances are unique.
