Chapter 0348: Azalea Sea

In April, the temperature in Zhongpai Township is rising, the temperature reaches more than 20 degrees Celsius during the day, and the lowest temperature at night also exceeds 10 degrees Celsius, and the most comfortable season in the village has begun to arrive.

The increasing hours of sunshine are giving more energy to the vegetation around the village, which is enjoying the best season of the year.

After the peach blossom forest in the farm orchard enters the full bloom period, the alpine rhododendrons all over the mountains begin to show their own style to people, and the colorful flowers turn the whole Nanwu Mountain into a sea of flowers.

Alpine Rhododendron, an alpine evergreen shrub or small tree plant of the Rhododendron family, grows about 3 meters tall in its natural state, grows in fir forests or on grassy slopes at the edge of forests on shady slopes of mountains at an altitude of 2,500 to 4,000 meters.

In the southeastern part of the country, alpine rhododendrons can be found everywhere, and their flowering season begins in April and lasts until October, becoming one of the local characteristics.

On the Jinfo Mountain in Nanchuan, due to the early development of the tourism industry, the azalea of the Jinfo Mountain is very famous, and it will attract a large number of tourists to go up the mountain to enjoy the flowers every year.

In Zeng Zhi's view, the altitude span of the Nanwu Mountain area is from 1000-3000 meters, and the rapid rise in altitude has also created a rich variety of plant species, and the alpine rhododendron resources are even more than those of Jinfo Mountain, which has unique natural conditions.

According to the aerial surveying and mapping of the surveying and mapping department of the ancient city, the area of alpine rhododendrons in Nanwu Mountain even exceeds 10,000 acres.

This is not counting the rhododendron that is just scattered around, but the actual rhododendron forest.

It's just that most of such areas are in the depths of the more dangerous Nanwu Mountain, in the safe periphery, or even in the relatively safe middle, there are not many rhododendron forests, that is, two or three thousand acres.

But despite this, this is already a rare mass-scale.

The most rare thing is that because the altitude of Nanwu Mountain is nearly 3,000 meters, and now in April, the summit is still covered with snow and ice. As a result, visitors will be fortunate enough to see the magnificent sight of a sea of flowers on one side and a sea of snow on the other, and even a unique sight of fiery red flowers blooming in the snow and ice.

Therefore, the alpine azalea sea has become a highlight of the external publicity of the Sanlong Lake Scenic Area.

At this time, not only the citizens of the ancient city will come to enjoy the flowers, but also tourists from the main city and even outside the city will come to enjoy this rare beauty.

According to the statistics of the company, the number of tourists arriving at the scenic spot has been increasing every day since the end of March, and the average time spent in the scenic area has reached three days.

At the same time, the Xianju Tourism Company and the villages in Zhongpai Township jointly launched a series of activities including hunting, horseback riding, wild barbecue, etc., which were favored by tourists, and the guests became more and more bold in paying money.

………………

It is foreseeable that as the beautiful scenery of spring gradually unfolds, the number of tourists who pour into the Sanlong Lake scenic spot every day may exceed 1,000, which will make a very good warm-up for the May Day Golden Week.

To this end, Zeng Zhi specially added 10 million publicity funds, so that Huang Yuanyu carried out a new round of advertising offensive in major media in Jiangdu and CCTV, and gradually heated up the May Day Golden Week.

From the current point of view, Qixianju Tourism Company has invested more than 100 million yuan in the Sanlong Lake Scenic Area, but there is not a penny of income, which seems to be a bit more than worth the loss.

However, both Zeng Zhi and the management of the Xianju Tourism Company headed by Huang Yuanyu understand that such investment is indispensable in the cultivation process of scenic spots.

As long as the Sanlong Lake Scenic Area receives more than 500,000 tourists every year, the Xianju Tourism Company can get a large amount of income through the Xianju Hotel, and it only takes three years to recover all the investment, and the next few decades will be the profits of the white flowers.

From this point of view, tourism is actually a lucrative business, but the scarce natural resources and the huge initial investment are important bottlenecks restricting the birth of new attractions.

According to the situation revealed by Chen Yongping, since 2010, the tourism industry in the southeast of Jiangdu, which is relatively rich in tourism resources such as Gucheng, Sizhou and Longshui, has absorbed foreign capital every year and is showing a trend of rapid growth.

More and more consortia and investors are optimistic about the development prospects of the southeast region of Jiangdu, opening new scenic spots, developing leisure and vacation industries and even investing in real estate.

It is believed that with the success of the Xianju Tourism Company, more and more foreign capital will pour into the tourism industry of the ancient city.

………………

On April 12, the twenty-fourth day of the second lunar month, it is advisable to open, travel, trade, and open the market......

April is the best time of the year in the village, with bright sunshine, warm breezes, and rhododendrons all over the hills, making the entire Sanlong Lake area exceptionally beautiful.

Getting up early in the morning, Zeng Zhi hurried to the Xianju Hotel after breakfast.

Today is the opening celebration of the Xianju Hotel, and he, the largest shareholder, cannot be absent.

After more than half a year of intensive construction, the Xianju Hotel was finally completed in early April, when the tourist peak was about to be ushered in. Ninety-nine detached villas, scattered on several hills, look beautiful.

Now, it's time for Zeliangchen to open.

Walking on the road, the streets are swept clean, and in some places, the villagers use mountain spring water to wash the roads, and the roads are spotless.

This is also a tradition in the village, every time there is a major festival and when the distinguished guests come to the door, the gate will be opened to release water, and according to the scattered pattern of the village, the mountain spring will be used to wash the road.

Due to the excellent greenery around the village and the frequent cleaning of the roads, it is rare to see dust in the whole village, even when the wind blows.

This is also an important reason why many people who suffer from fog in the city are very fond of the village.

Most of the villagers have changed into decent clothes, spontaneously rushed to the hotel to cheer, after all, 10% of the shares of the Xianju Hotel belong to all the villagers, the hotel is well run, and everyone is benefited.

The villagers who met Zeng Zhi on the way greeted him kindly and were quite enthusiastic.

The villagers are not fools, they naturally know that the changes in the village in the past year have come from Zeng Zhi's investment, and Zeng Zhi's Xianju Tourism Company and farm have made a lot of profits to the villagers, and everyone is not a bastard who doesn't know what to do.

Because of the development of the scenic area, the villagers' income has generally increased by three to five times.

In the past eight months, each person has earned 6,000 yuan, to say the least, and the family's income has increased by tens of thousands.

Some families with large houses and large rooms have paid off the loans for renovating and renovating guest rooms and have entered a period of rapid profitability.
