Qianxian County is a good place with abundant resources and outstanding people. Why do you say that? First of all, there is a Liangshan mountain here, with an altitude of more than 1,000 meters, where buried the famous Queen and Emperor Wu Zetian in history. She initially listened to politics from behind the curtain, and finally replaced her with Li Tang. There is also a mound called Jingling, where Li Xuan, Emperor Xizong of the Tang Dynasty, was buried, who was also a short-lived emperor. There is also Yang You, Emperor Gong of the Sui Dynasty, who is buried in Zhuangling.
Qianxian County, where three emperors are buried, is quite impressive, with Mohe River, Qishui River, Longyan Temple, Maomowan Reservoir, Stone Forest, Xue Rengui’s fiefdom, and the Huangchao Excavation 40-meter deep trench, etc. A new Tang Dynasty town was built outside the city of Qianxian County. It was all made of blue bricks and gray tiles, with red painted beams and pillars. There were many shams, and there were many shops lined up in rows. At the door is a majestic city gate tower with the word Yangguan written on it.
When it opened, it was decorated with lanterns and it was full of joy. Fires were lighting up and down the stairs, and people were watching the cars and horses passing by. Tourists from surrounding areas flock here to eat delicious food and watch the Western scenery. But I don’t know why, in Datang Town, Qianxian County, such a well-built tourist attraction, there are fewer and fewer people, so that no one cares about it? There is also food, delicious food from all over the place. There are also things to play, such as playing drums, swinging on swings, riding horses and rowing boats. You can also enjoy tea, fish therapy, ride a merry-go-round and a roller coaster.
I don’t know why. In recent years, a lot of small towns like this, with folk custom streets, have opened, but most of them are bleak in business and not popular. Maybe everyone is busy at work and has no time to play. Maybe everyone is tired of aesthetic appreciation, because today’s tourists are no longer the same as they were a few decades ago, and have never seen the world. Nowadays, people travel everywhere, at home and abroad. Real or fake, good or bad, you can tell at a glance.
I saw the sculpture of a horse riding a horse, and seeing it once is enough. I saw the maids holding umbrellas in the Tang Dynasty, the Phoenix Pond spraying water, plastic peach blossoms in full bloom, the lonely Fengyi Pavilion, expensive local snacks, teahouses where a cup of tea costs dozens of yuan, and some people who dare not go in to drink for fear of being ripped off. There is also a beer house that is not very interesting, and a spring bed that is not very interesting. It is enough to visit it once. It really feels lackluster, lacks creativity, and has no attractions to attract repeat customers.
Take the Wanwan wine as an example, it can be found everywhere. Since the Wanwan wine in Yongxingfang became popular, many folk attractions have Wanwan wine. There is one in Maweiyi, one in Datang Town, one in Xi'an, and all over the country. In the small town of Datang, there are many things to eat and play, but many times tourists simply cannot afford it. You see, how many tourists line up at a noodle shop where a bowl of noodles costs ten yuan, but don’t go to Flower Girl Beer House to spend money? After all, most of the people who come here to visit are ordinary people who live a life of living on a budget.
Yuanjia Village became popular and Maweiyi became a success. Many people imitated it. As a result, they spent a lot of money, but no one came to spend money and tourists were unwilling to come. The parking lot is overgrown, the stores are closed, the facilities are in tatters, the lights are not working, flies are flying around, chairs and tables have fallen over, and the leaves are dry. In short, it is deserted.
Nothing can be done overnight. It is really difficult to build an ancient town overnight and let everyone spend money. Maybe everyone came excitedly when it opened, but it quickly died down a few months later. I visited Datang Town once a year ago. There were really no tourists, the shops were not open, and there were no customers. It was really cold.
Three imperial mausoleums failed to make a newly built Tang Dynasty town, the hometown of Tang poetry, popular. Why is this? There is a statue of Wu Zetian and Li Zhi on the south side of the carousel, there are newly built real estates on the east side, and the Qianling Mausoleum of Li Chunfeng, Yuan Tiangang Kanyu and others on the north side. Many cars drive to Qianxian County, but there are no cars left. Come to Datang Town to have a look. As for me, what am I here to see? Wouldn’t it be nice to go to Lijiang, Yunnan? Wouldn’t it be nice to go to Yuanjia Village? One Yuanjia Village is enough.
The key point is that although the newly built B&B towns have collapsed one by one, there are still various folk towns that have opened and become popular for a few months, and then tourists stop coming. The novelty It passed and eventually closed. The development of tourism cannot be just a simple copy. Without any special skills or special skills, it will not work at all.
