Beautiful scenery attracts visitors to green water and green hills. Ecological vision becomes a beautiful life.
CCTV News:The whole territory of Ningxia belongs to the Yellow River Basin, where it was born and prospered because of the Yellow River, and has the reputation of "being on the south of the Yangtze River". Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, Ningxia has implemented the strategy of ecological priority, with the fundamental task of protecting the healthy An Lan of the Yellow River, and has continued to fight the tough battle of "zigzag bend" of the Yellow River. The water quality of Ningxia section of the main stream of the Yellow River has remained stable at Grade II for seven consecutive years.
In recent years, Ningxia has promoted the ecological protection and restoration of forests, grasslands, wetlands and deserts and the comprehensive management of saline-alkali land, and continued to promote the protection and restoration projects of Helan Mountain, Liupanshan Mountain and Luoshan Mountain. In 2023, 50,000 mu of mine geological environment restoration and comprehensive land improvement were completed, 1.25 million mu of forest was built, 900,000 mu of desertification land was controlled, and 282,000 mu of degraded grassland was controlled, and 10 mine restoration projects were implemented. At present, there are 3.1 million mu of wetlands in Ningxia, including 1.47 million mu of river wetlands, with the forest coverage rate of 11.35% and grassland comprehensive vegetation coverage rate of 56.8%.
Nowadays, "being in the south of the Yangtze River" is becoming more and more beautiful, and the ecological vision of green water and green mountains has gradually become a beautiful life within reach.
Green development, beautiful scenery and beautiful ecology attract visitors.
Libo County, Guizhou Province has two world-class business cards, namely "Karst in South China" and "World Man and Biosphere Reserve", and is known as "Emerald of the Earth". Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, Libo has vigorously implemented artificial afforestation, forest tending, transformation of inefficient forests, rocky desertification control and other projects in and around the heritage site. At the same time, master plans have been made for the protection of the heritage sites in Zhangjiang Scenic Area and Maolan National Nature Reserve. During this time, Libo, Guizhou entered the tourist season.
During the tourist season, Seven Small Arches Scenic Area receives more than 35,000 tourists every day.
Seven Small Arches Scenic Area is surrounded by mountains. This seven-hole ancient bridge across Xiangshui River was built in Daoguang period of Qing Dynasty. Walking on the ancient bridge, in the mountains and rivers, it seems to condense time and years.
It is understood that the forest coverage rate of Seven Small Arches Scenic Area has reached 92%. The water here is deep or shallow blue-green, because it contains a lot of calcium and magnesium ions.
Through the perspective of underwater drones, you can see groups of fish swimming in the water. In recent years, several new fish species have been discovered in Seven Small Arches. Surrounded by the jungle, the seven-hole ancient bridge is clearly reflected on the water, and the landscape bridge is integrated, which seems to silently tell the story of harmonious coexistence between man and nature.
During this time, Libo, Guizhou entered the tourist season. Only Seven Small Arches Scenic Area receives more than 35,000 tourists every day on average, and the scenic area adopts the way of full-scale online real-name reservation to divert and limit the flow to increase the experience of tourists.
Delineating ecological red line, zoning and hierarchical management
The beauty here is closely related to people’s protection, in addition to the giving of nature. The area within the red line of ecological protection in Libo is over 1205 square kilometers, accounting for 49.91% of Libo’s land area.
People protect the ecological environment like eyes and treat it like life. According to the nature of the reserve, the local area is divided, protected and controlled at different levels. The Maolan National Nature Reserve is divided into core area, buffer area and experimental area. Seven Small Arches Scenic Area belongs to Zhangjiang Scenic Area, which is divided into four levels of protected areas for protection.
Grid management of tourism to increase people’s income
In recent years, Seven Small Arches Scenic Area is exploring the transformation of ecological advantages into economic advantages. How to realize environmental protection while vigorously developing tourism? At present, the whole scenic spot has been managed by grid, with a total of more than 100 grids. In addition to the sanitation and cleaning in the area, the grid workers are also responsible for guiding and reminding tourists.
Wolongtan is one of the grids. The grid worker here is a Yao people. His family used to be a poor household and became a grid worker through tourism. While cleaning up the lake area, he also performed folk dances for tourists to interact and become a landscape in people’s eyes. In Libo County, more than 10,000 people have lived a well-off life by getting rid of poverty and increasing their income through tourism.
Develop in protection and protect in development.
Development in protection and protection in development are also reflected in every detail. In the water forest of Yuanyang Lake, the ancient trees in the water are surrounded by small wooden sticks to prevent the cruise ship from hitting the ancient trees. Small sticks on the periphery of ancient trees are equivalent to "protective clothes" for them. In addition, the scenic spot is also in the section where ancient trees are concentrated, and a clearance area that can only be visited on foot is drawn.
Now, standing at a new starting point, the local authorities focus on three elements: resources, customers and services to improve the management level, enrich the tourism format, strive to build a world-class tourist attraction, and let the beautiful landscape enter more people’s horizons.
