Chenzhou’s all-for-one tourism, with integration of red culture and eco-tourism, embraces new opportunities in the new era. By the new mode of “tourism plus”, Chenzhou has launched the project to promote 100-billion-yuan cultural tourism industry, carried out 100 cultural tourism projects, implemented 10 measures which are designed to build Chenzhou into a well-known tourist destination at home and abroad.
Wu Jupei, secretary of the CPC Chenzhou Municipal Committee, describes Chenzhou as a tourist attraction that shines for its red culture, impresses tourists with its breathtaking scenery, and can create happy memories for tourists.
In Chenzhou, you can eat fish noodles, take a bath in a hot spring, enjoy Kunqu Opera, and find a place to rest, immersed in the natural beauty of mountains and lakes.
“Welcome to beautiful Chenzhou! Even if you have traveled to five continents on the earth, I believe Chenzhou can occupy one corner of your heart. Today, I’d like to introduce Feitian Mountain to you,” said Wu Jupei.
Feitian Mountain National Geologic Park, located in Suxian District, Chenzhou City, is known for its distinctive and gorgeous scenery. Visitors can come for camping and boat trips, enjoying the stunning scenery of mountains and water. The scenic area has received more than 20,000 visitors since this April.
Apart from Feitian Mountain, tourists are able to travel to the Exhibition Hall of “Halt A Quilt”, Dongjiang Lake, and Yangtian Lake within a one-hour travel circle from the urban area.
“I think it's a worthwhile trip to Chenzhou. It is suitable for a family trip because there are different kinds of tourism resources—lush mountains, green waters and Red culture, which can satisfy visitors of all ages,” said a tourist.
Over the past few days, a magnificent sea of clouds has appeared on the top of Mangshan Mountain, 1,600 meters above the sea level. Workers are installing vertical elevators, which will provide disabled people with a better experience, in the Wuzhi Peak scenic area of Mangshan National Forest Park for the upcoming May Day holiday. The scenic area has also introduced preferential policies to attract tourists.
Tan Taigang, chairman of the Chenzhou Mangshan Travel Company, said that they have launched the annual card that admits three tourists at a time, and advanced the rafting time from June to May 1st, so that tourists can have a richer experience.
Relevant departments in Chenzhou have carried out tourism marketing and policy guidance to heat up the tourism market while keeping a close eye on epidemic prevention and control. 80% of the scenic areas in Chenzhou have made full preparation for the holiday and released preferential tickets and activities.
Chenzhou is also committed to promoting the coordinated development of tourism in border areas of Hunan, Jiangxi and Guangdong, creating a “Greater Bay Area” tourism community, and enhancing its red tourism brand.
Tourism has brought jobs for 556,000 people in the city. In 2021, Chenzhou received 53.61 million tourists and realized a domestic tourism income of 53.1 billion yuan, both of which ranked second in the province.
