CCTV news: From the Luoxiao Mountains to the Wuling Mountains, the mountains and mountains have left the footprints of the Red Army. Next, we are going to walk into Zhangjiajie, which is located in northwest hunan province. It is famous for its unique "Three Thousand Peaks and Eight Hundred Xiushui", and is one of the earliest tourist cities in the mainland to go to the world. In addition to the unique scenery, it is also a "red fertile land", which was once the core area of the Xiang'ebian, Xiang'exi, and Xiang'echuanqian base areas. Now that Jiang Wenjing, a reporter from the main station, is now in Zhangjiajie National Forest Park, we will immediately connect with her to see what kind of "red story" the picturesque Zhangjiajie has.
Jiang Wenjing: At my feet, there is the Famous Scenic Spot of Zhangjiajie, Jin whip Creek, where there is a Red Army Road, which extends from this position behind me to under the Golden Whip Rock. On November 21, 1935, the Red Sixth Army, which had embarked on a long march, passed through the area of Golden Whip Creek and marched rapidly between these steep stone peaks, completing a crucial step in the strategic shift. Today, a boardwalk and a Red Army bridge have been built here to commemorate the Red Army, and groups of tourists have come here to enjoy the beautiful waters of Zhangjiajie and listen to the stories of the Red Army over and over again. According to reports, this year, the scenic spot also plans to further improve this "red tourism" route, create a "red education" classroom in nature, and let the "red culture" communication belt be intertwined between green mountains and green waters.
The revolutionary spirit left behind by the Red Army has become an heirloom for the people's officers in the old areas to start their own businesses. This year is the 40th anniversary of the establishment of Zhangjiajie National Forest Park, and at the theme film festival arranged by the scenic spot, I saw an old photo, which was taken in 1977, when the coverage rate of Zhangjiajie's original forest was only 10.9% due to logging and vandalism. After continuous afforestation and ecological protection, let's take a look at the present, this photo was taken in the same location a few days ago, and you can see that the once barren mountain has undergone earth-shaking changes.
The beautiful landscape has brought about tourism development, turning the old area into a scenic spot and becoming a paradise for all living things. Zhangjiajie is rich in wildlife resources, and we have seen a variety of wild animals in Jinyexi in the past few days. The baby macaque monkeys born this spring are now lively and active, and you can still see a variety of small fish in the clear stream. At present, science popularization education activities are also being carried out here. We saw that there is a fun punch card station here, and if the children who come to the spring tour observe the animals and plants on the card in the scenic spot, they can ask their parents to take a photo with their mobile phones to complete the punch card.
The children said they saw the baby fish. In fact, the scientific name of the baby fish is the giant salamander, which lived on the earth 300 million years ago, so it is called "swimming living fossil". Giant salamanders have extremely high requirements for the ecological environment, so they are regarded as "indicators" of a good ecological environment. The good news is that in recent years, the figure of the giant salamander can be seen in the wild in Zhangjiajie. At the stream, staff at the Zhangjiajie Giant Salamander Conservation Center are leading the elementary school students to return a batch of salamanders transported from the breeding base to their original homes.
The giant salamanders we see now were born in 2017 and are 5 years old this year, and they are now equivalent to the young and young human lifespan relative to the average lifespan of giant salamanders. Giant salamanders are easy to feel nervous, and when it is nervous, it will secrete mucus all over its body, so when we release it, we will take the way of changing large basins for small basins. Now they are adapting to the temperature of the stream across the basin and putting them into the stream. They will look for caves or crevices to hide. Researchers told us that the spring and summer season is the critical period for the growth and development of giant salamanders, and after the release, the patrol team will strengthen the 24-hour patrol, hoping that these giant salamanders can adapt to the wild environment as soon as possible and live well here.
