Youyang is located in the hinterland of Wuling Mountain, with unique ecological resource endowment, and has unique advantages in the development of cultural tourism industry. Up to now, the county has a national 5A-level tourist attraction, 7 national 4A-level tourist attractions, and 2 municipal-level tourist resorts, which is a well-known tourist county.
Although the cultural and tourism resources are abundant, the relatively lagging transportation restricts the high-quality development of Youyang's cultural tourism industry. Based on this, at present, Youyang is speeding up the construction of a backbone transportation network integrating high-speed, railway, provincial highway and national highway to continuously improve the traffic environment.
As an important part of Chongqing's transportation planning "three rings, twelve shots and seven connections", the construction of Youpeng Expressway has entered the final stage and is expected to be opened to traffic this year. At that time, the driving time from the main city of Chongqing to Youyang will be shortened to 3 hours, and the driving time of scenic spots and scenic spots along the line will also be greatly shortened.

In addition, the scenic spots along the line, such as Gongtan Ancient Town, Nanmuwan Scenic Area, Qiantai Field in Ding City, Xinglong Village in Tonggu Town, etc., will be strung together into a chain, and the development of Youyang's cultural tourism industry will also form a new "acceleration" through transportation empowerment.
