How about Guizhou?

Guizhou is a province with extremely rich tourism resources in China. Currently, a new harmonious tourism destination that integrates sightseeing, vacation and in-depth cultural experience is quietly taking shape. As praised by the World Tourism Organization, Guizhou is "a state of ecology, a state of culture, a state of singing and dancing, and a state of fine wine."

1. Characteristics of tourism resources

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

(1) The peculiarity of the natural landscape constructed by special geology and landforms. Guizhou Province is located in the southwest of mainland China, with a total area of ​​176,200 square kilometers, 595 kilometers from east to west, and 500 kilometers from north to south. The terrain is higher in the east and lower in the west. The landform is part of the plateau and mountainous areas of western China. Mountains and hills account for 92.5% of the total area, of which the karst area is about 109,000 square kilometers, accounting for 61.9%. It is one of the most typical areas with karst landforms in the world. Due to the continuous expansion of the three-dimensional space of karst development, the karst area in Guizhou has led to very complex changes in the terrain evolution process. Stone buds, funnel sinkholes, shafts, depressions, peak forests, peak clusters, natural bridges, karst lakes, waterfalls, etc. are developed on the surface. The falling water overlaps vertically and horizontally with the caves, underground rivers, underground lakes, and undercurrents developed underground, forming a natural "karst museum" with rich regional characteristics. The long and wonderful geological structural process has given birth to a variety of strange mountains, beautiful waters, waterfalls and caves throughout the province, forming countless natural wonders that are connected above and below the ground and combine dynamic and static conditions. The famous Huangguoshu Waterfall, Dragon Palace, Zhijin Cave, Maling River, Xiaoqikong, etc. are typical representatives of this karst kingdom. In 2007, Libo was listed as the "Southern China Karst" World Natural Heritage Site.

(2) The cultural originality of multi-ethnic construction. The total permanent population of Guizhou Province is 39.7548 million, of which ethnic minorities account for 38.9%, and there are 18 ethnic minority groups that have lived for generations. The cultural factors of multiple ethnic groups and different regions have repeatedly collided and adapted to each other, and gradually accumulated in all aspects of Guizhou culture. The architecture, clothing, food, wedding customs, sacrifices, festivals, art, etc. of each ethnic group are all rich in With a colorful cultural heritage. As the saying goes, "Three miles have different styles and ten miles have different customs." "Big festivals happen every day, but small festivals happen every day." Walking into the ethnic villages, people will find that ancient cultural patterns such as the Han and Jin Dynasty styles, Tang Dynasty hairstyles, Song Dynasty costumes, and Ming and Qing architecture are still preserved authentically here, becoming a precious cultural heritage of the Chinese nation.

(3) The richness of history and culture. Humans may have originated from the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau in China, where humans completed their evolution from apes to humans. During the Paleozoic Era, 400 million to 230 million years ago, this area was flooded by the sea several times. A large number of Paleozoic fish and dragon fossils discovered in Guizhou indicate that the ancestors of terrestrial vertebrate creatures may have first appeared here. In addition, cultural sites of the "Tongzi people" from the middle Paleolithic period, the "Shuicheng people" from the middle to late Old Age and the "Xingyi people" from the late period have also been discovered in Guizhou. Guizhou is not only one of the birthplaces of paleontology, but also one of the birthplaces of ancient humans.

During the Spring and Autumn Period, the Kingdom of Zanggan was one of the major powers in Guizhou. In the late Spring and Autumn Period, the Kingdom of Yelang replaced the Kingdom of Zanggan and became increasingly powerful. Today, it is not difficult to find traces of Yelang culture in Guizhou. Zhu Yuanzhang, Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, mobilized 300,000 troops from Nanjing and other places to garrison in Guizhou's villages, "opening a line to Yunnan", which allowed Jiangnan culture and plateau mountain culture to blend with each other, forming a rich Tunbao culture. Wang Yangming, known as "the last peak of Chinese Confucianism" and "the forerunner of modern enlightenment thought", "enlightened Taoism" in Xiuwenlongchang, Guizhou, the "Holy Land of Wang Xue", and created a generation of academic style that promoted the changes in China's ideological circles; what happened in Guizhou The "Zunyi Conference" and the "Fourth Crossing of Chishui" are the most significant events in China's modern history and military history, and are classics of the "Long March Culture".

(4) The prominence of the wine culture represented by Moutai. "Wine" and "travel" have been inseparable since ancient times; Guizhou wine culture has a particularly profound impact on Guizhou tourism. Among various cultural brands in Guizhou, wine culture is the loudest. Moutai is known as cultural wine, diplomatic wine and healthy wine. When drinking in ethnic minority villages, the wine culture we experience is unique. There are various ways of toasting, persuading people to drink, and drinking. Wine is accompanied by dancing, wine and singing. There is no feast without wine, and there are no guests without wine. From the strong aroma of wine, you can taste the customs and customs of various ethnic groups and understand the true meaning of wine culture.

(5) The uniqueness of the natural summer resort climate.

Guizhou's summer resort climate resources are increasingly scarce and precious ecological and environmental resources. The terrain of Guizhou is high in the west and gradually decreases toward the north, east and south, with an average altitude of 1,100 meters. Guizhou has a subtropical plateau monsoon climate, which is warm and humid, with no severe cold in winter and no scorching heat in summer. The average annual temperature in most areas is around 15°C. Precipitation is abundant, with the annual precipitation being about 1,300 mm. The sunshine is relatively abundant, with the annual sunshine hours being about 1,300 hours. The province's forest coverage rate reaches 40%, and is growing at a rate of more than one percentage point every year. The average summer temperature is 23.1 degrees, and it is known as a natural air-conditioning province, forming an ideal living environment and summer resort.
