Chapter 863: Buddhist Holy Land
Duan Zetao's eyes lit up, and he immediately became interested, when it came to his understanding of Xishan Province, Wu Zhanhui was undoubtedly much more profound than him, an airborne soldier, took out a special Chinese cigarette and threw it away, and sighed: "I really can't imagine that Xishan Province still has such rich tourism resources, why haven't I heard of it before?!" ……”。
Wu Zhanhui shook his head and said: "Don't say you can't think of it, many local cadres in Xishan can't think of it, a few years ago, "National Geographic Magazine" made a comprehensive evaluation of China's tourism resources, and the result was that Xishan Province unexpectedly ranked first, so that many people in the industry fell through the glasses, in fact, it is no wonder that outsiders have such a reaction, Xishan Province's tourism income is at the bottom of the country, and it is not ranked at all! ……”。
"The tourism industry in Xishan Province cannot develop, the main reason is that the development is not enough, which is inseparable from the current overall economic situation of Xishan Province; Second, there is a lack of publicity, which is mainly due to the lack of attention from government departments and backward concepts......".
In addition, there are some weaknesses in Xishan's tourism resources, which also restricts the development of Xishan's tourism industry. 1. The scenic spots of Xishan are mainly historical places. This determines that tourists with a certain level of culture are often interested in it, and they account for only a small percentage of tourists, and many of them belong to visiting, visiting, and inspecting rather than traveling at their own expense. Second, the scenic spots are scattered and the traffic is inconvenient. The special topography of Xishan makes tourism a relatively difficult training, and the backwardness of road conditions and passenger transport economy makes most of the scenic spots in Xishan only suitable for self-driving or group travel and not convenient for self-guided travel. Third, the natural environment is bad, the pollution is serious, the West Mountain itself is windy sand, coal dust, and industrial pollution has exacerbated the deterioration of the ecological environment, making foreign tourists extremely disappointed......".
"Smack!" , Duan Zetao slapped the coffee table hard and stood up, and said excitedly: "We are guarding the golden rice bowl and asking for food?!" Nature and ancestors have left us such precious resources and wealth, if we can't develop the tourism industry in Xishan Province, we are really ashamed of the sky, ashamed of the ancestors, ashamed of the country, ashamed of the people of Xishan! ……”。
When it comes to the development of tourism resources, Duan Zetao still has experience, when he was the mayor of Shannan City, he turned Shannan City into a tourist center in the northwest of Jiangnan Province through a series of plans, and a famous tourist attraction in the country, but the situation is different in various places, copying the model of Shannan is definitely not possible, and it is necessary to adapt measures to local conditions, combined with regional characteristics and cultural characteristics in order to get out of the unique road suitable for the development of Xishan tourism industry, so Duan Zetao decided to conduct a comprehensive investigation of the tourism resources of Xishan Province, and then prescribe the right medicine.
Last time, Gu Changjian said that he had seen Master Shi Ran in Wutai Mountain, and Duan Zetao always wanted to see Master Shi Ran again and asked him for guidance, so Duan Zetao put the first stop of the investigation on Wutai Mountain.
Wutai Mountain is only more than 200 kilometers away from Shanyuan City, less than two hours' drive away, Wutai Mountain is famous for Buddhist resorts, is the first of the four famous Buddhist mountains in China, and is one of the world's five major Buddhist holy places, as early as a few years ago by UNESCO as a cultural landscape included in the World Heritage List.
In addition to the Buddhist culture, the natural scenery of Wutai Mountain is also very beautiful, the scenery is picturesque, the peculiar peaks and cliffs, the ancient pine and cypress that are strict and upright, the clouds and mountains and the sea of fog that are full of ups and downs, and the golden and brilliant palaces and towers are built into a splendid world.
Walking in this splendid world, people have a feeling of floating immortals, but such a beautiful scenery did not attract a large number of tourists, Duan Zetao they climbed the stairs all the way, but there were few tourists along the way, Duan Zetao was half an expert in tourism development, and soon found some reasons.
One Wutai Mountain is very high altitude, although it is at roughly the same latitude as the capital, but the climate characteristics are similar to the Great Xing'an Mountains in the northeast of China, it is very comfortable to come here to play in summer, it is a famous summer resort, there are many fewer tourists in winter, although it has not yet reached the severe winter, but it is already very cold, and the road up the mountain is also blocked by snow, it is difficult to pass, you can only walk up the stone steps up the mountain, it is no wonder that tourists are scarce.
If it is the climatic conditions that are difficult to change by manpower, but the imperfection of the supporting facilities in the scenic spot makes Duan Zetao very dissatisfied with the managers of local tourism, including toilets and other supporting facilities are not very reasonable, especially after entering the winter, more than 95% of the hotels here have stopped operating, only a few hotels are still open, Duan Zetao deliberately went in to see, most of these hotels are in poor condition, health and other aspects are very poor, some even do not have heating, the price is ridiculously high, and the service attitude is also very poor. A look you can't hold on.
Duan Zetao's brows wrinkled, at this time there was a temple in front, there are quite a lot of temples in Wutai Mountain, there are as many as 95 well-preserved ones, the more famous ones are Nanchan Temple, Foguang Temple, Xiantong Temple, Guangji Temple, Yanshan Temple, Hongfu Temple, Dailuoding, Guanyin Cave, etc., like these relatively large temples are generally built at a relatively high altitude on the top of the mountain, and there are more small and medium-sized temples below.
Now Duan Zetao and the temple they saw is called Nanshan Temple, the scale is medium-sized, the incense is still quite vigorous, and there are stalls selling mineral water and cigarettes and incense and candles at the entrance of the temple.
Entering the temple, there were two monks wearing yellow monk's robes standing at the door, these two monks looked fat and big-eared, their eyes flickered, and there was no solemnity of the monk's treasure, they saw that Duan Zetao was extraordinary, and brought an entourage, the two looked at each other, their eyes were happy, and they immediately greeted them with a smile on their faces, holding a pillar of incense in both hands and handed it over, "This benefactor is shining in the hall, and at first glance it is a blessed person, burn incense to the Buddha, and the Buddha will definitely bless your ......."
Duan Zetao is not a devout Buddhist, but because of his own bizarre experience, coupled with the Panchen Lama and Master Shiran's karma, he still has a respect for Buddhism, and seeing these two monks so enthusiastic, the unhappiness in his heart changed slightly, took the incense handed over by the two monks, walked into the main hall, calmly bowed to the enshrined Buddha statue, inserted the incense into the incense burner and turned around to leave.
But he was stopped by the two monks, and said with a smile on his face: "This donor, you have a relationship with my Buddha, why don't you come here to ask for a lot, and solve your luck, the sign of our Nanshan Temple is very effective......."
