There are many lakes in China. Yangzhou Slender West Lake is not as romantic as Hangzhou West Lake, not as grand as Kunming Lake in the Summer Palace, not as vast as Dongting and Poyang, and not as deep as Qinghai Lake. Why does it attract 80 billion yuan a year?

Did you go to Yangzhou just to see the skinny Slender West Lake?

Yangzhou, a water town in the south of the Yangtze River, has been prosperous since ancient times, with beautiful mountains and beautiful people. Yangzhou’s food is even more famous. Therefore, Emperor Qianlong, who liked traveling around mountains and rivers, liked Yangzhou very much. Food connoisseur Su Shi also prefers Yangzhou.

Yangzhou is the holy land of poets. Since ancient times, there have been numerous poems written about Yangzhou. Among them, there are many well-known masterpieces.

When we went to Yangzhou, the Slender West Lake we saw was not just a lake or a bay of water, but culture and feelings.

The world is divided into three parts on a bright moonlit night and two parts in Yangzhou.

So the poet had the impulse of "Fireworks descending Yangzhou in March".

On a moonlit night at the Twenty-Four Bridge, where can the beauty teach me how to play the flute?

The spring breeze is ten miles away on Yangzhou Road, and it is not as good as rolling up the bead curtain.

I would like to ask all my friends in the south of the Yangtze River, who is like me, drunk in Yangzhou?

The beauty of Yangzhou makes people forget to leave, and they even sigh like this:

Life is only suitable for death in Yangzhou, the Zen wisdom mountain is bright and the cemetery is beautiful.

Yangzhou’s “three knives”, namely Yangzhou kitchen knives, pedicure knives and barber knives, are world-famous. Today's Huaiyang cuisine was cultivated by salt merchants back then. In the past, life in Yangzhou was luxurious. The wealthy salt merchants loved to delve into garden art and food culture, and the cooks in each family had their own unique skills. When they had free time, they studied new dishes, which gradually became "Huaiyang cuisine" This cuisine.

Huaiyang cuisine is one of the four traditional cuisines in my country. The raw materials are not as expensive as Cantonese cuisine, but it mainly uses fresh food from rivers, lakes and rivers. The knife skills are exquisite and the original flavor and color are the best. It is known as "the best in the Southeast" "Taste, the most beautiful in the world".

Get off your horse after smelling the fragrance and enjoy a Huaiyang delicacy; while drinking wine, sing a few songs about Guangling Bamboo Branches. Fireworks in March, I stayed in Yangzhou for a few days, encountered a series of Huaiyang delicacies, and tasted delicacies among the pavilions and pavilions, surrounded by spring scenery, it was so pleasant.

On April 18, I saw on the Internet that the tourism revenue of Yangzhou City, Jiangsu Province last year reached 80 billion. The main reason is that there is a skinny lake in the city called Slender West Lake. . Fireworks fall in Yangzhou in March. There are so many tourists here. Parking at Slender West Lake is also very difficult, so we parked our car about one kilometer away from the south gate of the scenic spot. (Li Gang)

At the ticket office of Slender West Lake, you can buy a combined ticket for Slender West Lake, Daming Temple, Geyuan, Heyuan, Guyunhe Water Browsing Line for 200 yuan each. January, February, June, July, August and December are the off-season for tourism, and the price is 150 yuan per ticket.

On August 4 last year, Slender West Lake received 11,135 ticket-buying tourists, a year-on-year increase of 70.2, once again breaking the summer tourism reception record of Slender West Lake, and is expected to break the record again this year.

Spring flowers bloom in Slender West Lake, and many tourists will stand in front of the blooming flowers and take photos.

In April, Slender West Lake is crowded with tourists, and almost everyone walks next to each other on land. Slender West Lake, formerly known as Baoan Lake, is located in the northwest suburb of Yangzhou City, Jiangsu Province, with a total area of ??2,000 acres, a water area of ??700 acres, and a tourist area of ??100 hectares. Slender West Lake has formed a basic layout during the Kangxi and Qianlong periods of the Qing Dynasty, and is known as "the most prosperous garden in the world". Slender West Lake is mainly divided into 14 major scenic spots, including Wuting Bridge, Twenty-four Bridges, Lotus Pond, Diaoyutai, etc.

There are very few people on the waterway. It is said that it is because the boat ticket is too expensive. One ticket costs 170 yuan, which is about the same price as the pass. In 1988, Slender West Lake was listed by the State Council as a "national key scenic spot with important historical and cultural heritage and Yangzhou garden characteristics". In 2010, it was awarded the national AAAAA level tourist attraction. In 2014, it was included in the World Cultural Heritage List.

In July last year, closed scenic spots such as Slender West Lake, Daming Temple, and Hanling Garden received 247,700 tourists, a year-on-year increase of about 20%. In the past summer, the number of daily visitors to Slender West Lake has been hovering in the thousands for a long time. In July this year, the average number of daily visitors to Slender West Lake exceeded 10,000 for nine days, setting a new record for summer visitor numbers. According to public security feedback data, the average occupancy rate of hotels around the Slender West Lake Scenic Area reached 70% in July.

A family of 11 from Henan is traveling in Yangzhou. Yangzhou can create an annual tourism revenue of 80 billion yuan by relying on the reputation of Slender West Lake, making cities with few tourism resources in the country envious.

Each city has its own outstanding industries, some are industry, some are finance, and some are tourism. Today’s protagonist is a city with a very high proportion of tourism. If we break down the cities with the highest proportion of tourism in our country, no matter how high it is, it still accounts for about 60%, and the proportion of tourism in this city is even around 70% (because the official has not announced the specific details Figures, so not confirmed), but it is indeed rated as the city with the highest proportion of tourism in China by authoritative organizations, and it is Lijiang.

Although there is no accurate proportion data yet, what is certain is that tourism is definitely the lifeblood and throat of this city, and this is indeed an out-and-out " "Tourist City". It is said that the annual tourism revenue here alone exceeds 60 billion. Although it may not be high compared to the big cities in our country with tourism revenue exceeding 100 billion, it is definitely a huge cake for here. However, this also makes everyone want to take a bite of this delicious cake. It is said that almost every five people in this city are engaged in tourism-related occupations. Just imagine what will happen to this city if one day fewer and fewer people come here to travel? After all, some events previously spread on the Internet have a relatively wide impact. However, it is said that it has become better and better after rectification, so everyone can travel with confidence. According to official data, the number of tourists here in 2016 was 35.19 million. Although the specific number has not been announced in 2017, the official confidently gave an estimated number of over 40 million. For such a small city, It is said to be a good result.

And this place does seem to have such charm to attract tourists. In addition to the well-known ancient city and those word-of-mouth romances, it is also very rich in ethnic minority characteristics, folk customs and excellent natural scenery. It’s even more unforgettable. Travelers around the author even praised this place and said, "Here, you can be a carefree child, put aside the world and forget your worries, and just experience the beauty here with your heart."

The author came here for tourism two years ago, but the scenery that impressed me the most and the most beautiful scenery in my opinion is only one place, which is Lugu Lake. This is an ancient and mysterious land. The lakes are blue and ethereal, and the beautiful scenery of the lakes and mountains makes people unable to take their eyes away. The original ethnic customs here are warm and simple. The small literary and artistic inns nearby are integrated with the lakes and mountains. It is a "healing resort". It is a scenic spot.

The ancient city of Lijiang, surrounded by mountains and rivers, is one of the best representatives of ancient cities in my country. It is said that it has a history of nearly a thousand years. It is surrounded by green mountains on all sides, which is like a natural barrier. The city is crisscrossed by clear water, and the unique houses are simple and elegant. The unique scenery must make many tourists unable to stop. Nowadays, there are many specialty shops in the city that are loved by tourists. The details vary from person to person, but walking here will definitely relax you physically and mentally.

Within this city, there is another mountain that is truly sacred, and this mountain is indeed as holy and beautiful as a sacred mountain. It is the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain. The snow-capped mountains composed of twelve snow peaks are magnificent and have extraordinary momentum. And the scenery here will also produce different scenery with the change of climate, whether it is filled with smoke or covered with sunshine, they are all beautiful.

In recent years, many tourists have been prejudiced against this place. I think it is unnecessary, because everyone can make mistakes, not to mention there are so many people in a city. It is okay to deny a city because of one incident. No, maybe when you really come here, you will find a different Lijiang.

Most people choose "Fireworks in Yangzhou in March". When I went, it was the Mid-Autumn Festival and I wanted to see how different the moon in Yangzhou was.

To be honest, it is because of the prosperity of Yangzhou and the Yangzhou School of Painting that I am fascinated by it.

I went to Yangzhou and discovered that in the small Chengmen Ruins Museum, elementary school students can explain it to you. It is a city with special cultural heritage.

To eat braised goose, I went to look for it downstairs in a residential building. Local people also queued up to buy the delicacies from the trolley, which should taste pretty good.

Naturally, I would go to Slender West Lake. I even went there again at night after closing, just to see the moon.

For Yangzhou food, I went to Yechun, Garden Tea House, which has a more northern temperament than Hangzhou, and at least the steamed buns are bigger than those in Shanghai. Big boiled dried shreds, I order them almost every meal. They are so tender than the tofu products in Beijing!

Yangzhou’s tourism is not just about Slender West Lake, but relies more on the overall performance and heritage. On a bright moonlit night on the twenty-fourth bridge, where can the beauty teach me how to play the flute? It embodies a kind of artistic conception; gardens such as Ge Garden and He Garden embody the enjoyment of life; Huaiyang cuisine embodies an exquisite attitude towards life; and there are also tourist resources such as Daming Temple and Dongguan Street, which are like a This pearl connects the tourism market of Yangzhou.

One part of the world is a bright moonlit night, the other part is Yangzhou.

On a moonlit night at the Twenty-Four Bridge, where can the beauty teach me how to play the flute?

History, humanity, natural scenery, and unique blessings. I am from Chengdu and I really like Yangzhou. Been there three times and will go again.

Fireworks descend on Yangzhou in March. Is Yangzhou more than just a skinny Slender West Lake? Hundreds of years of history and sedimentation are worth seeing

Yangzhou is obviously on the north bank of the Yangtze River, but the ancients always recognized it as the south of the Yangtze River. Do you still think that it is just a skinny lake in the rivers and lakes?

It was 79.6 billion in 2017 and 91.6 billion in 2018, which is the total tourism revenue.

Yangzhou’s tourist attractions are not just the Slender West Lake.

He Garden, Ge Garden, Xu Garden, Ye Chun Garden and other ancient architectural gardens are the favorite places for people to visit.

Baisha Park, Qujiang Park, Zhuxi Park, Yangrun Forest Park, Yizheng Hongshan Sports Park.

Daming Temple, Gaomin Temple, Qionghua Temple, Wu Daozhufu Terrace. Wenyoutai. Siwang Pavilion and Wuting Bridge.

Zhu Ziqing’s former residence, Shi Kefa Memorial Hall. Tomb of Emperor Yang of Sui Dynasty, Memorial Hall of Eight Monsters in Yangzhou.

Yangzhou has done a good job in protecting cultural relics. Many scenic spots and scenic spots are national cultural relics protection units. With so many scenic spots and historic sites, there are many places worthy of sightseeing.

In fact, there are too many scenic spots to count. If your eyes are too big, these attractions may be ignored, but the fact is that the tourism circles in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai play a great role in promoting each other. You can see this if you look at the tourism revenue of Hangzhou and Shanghai.

Expensive tickets are indeed the key to high income in scenic spots. In fact, Slender West Lake just made money from the name West Lake, and being thin is also valuable.

Personal opinion, for reference only, thank you!

First of all, Yangzhou is a beautiful city with a profound cultural heritage. Everyone who lives in Yangzhou or has been to Yangzhou is aware of this. The city’s regional parks are dotted with stars. Next to many residential areas, it has become a place for residents to exercise. The urban green coverage rate is also relatively high in the country. Yangzhou is clean and tidy, like a lady, quiet and sweet. The people of Yangzhou are simple and enthusiastic, and the catering in Yangzhou is excellent. Absolutely, Huaiyang cuisine is famous all over the world. I have been to the state banquet and ate it in Yangzhou. I believe this statement is true. Let’s talk about Slender West Lake. The headliner joked: a skinny little lake. This statement is wrong because he doesn’t understand Yangzhou at all. Understand the West Lake, a private garden with three steps and one scene, five steps and one painting, can be compared to the vast and empty West Lake. Of course, there is nothing wrong with what he said. As the saying goes, the beholder sees the benevolence, the wise see the wisdom, and there is also knowledge in playing. , I remember there was such a famous saying, when we are silent, there are still buildings talking. Welcome those who may have walked around Slender West Lake and talked about the skinny small lake again. If they come to Yangzhou again, I will be a tour guide for them free of charge. I believe you must, oh? non-stop, so that’s it. I live in Yangzhou, and Yangzhou is also my pride.

Tourism revenue is 80 billion, of which ticket sales only account for a small portion, mainly from hotels, restaurants, shopping, entertainment, and transportation. Think about it, for a ticket of 200 yuan, it takes 400 million people to get 80 billion. But to put it another way, if each person spends 5,000 yuan in Yangzhou, 80 billion is the consumption of 16 million people, which is only 40,000 to 50,000 tourists every day!
