Surrounded by green mountains and clear water, the mother river that flows endlessly has fed the sons and daughters of Tuoketo on the bank of the "zigzag bend" for thousands of years, giving birth to a unique and splendid Tuoketo culture with a long history. The rippling blue waters of the river and the tree-lined banks of the river form a moving picture. Whether it's the buds in early spring, the flowers in midsummer, the red leaves in late autumn, or the snow in winter, each season has a different flavor and color. From the nostalgia for the wilderness, the love of the landscape, to the hope of the return from the city to the ecology, the surrounding tours, short trips, and rural tours are gradually becoming popular, and it has increasingly become a good place for tourists to travel and vacation.
Since the beginning of this year, based on the geographical indication of the demarcation point of the upper and middle reaches of the Yellow River and the "bend of several words", relying on the location advantages of the central point of Hobao'e and Hubei and the historical and cultural relics of Tuo County, Tuoketuo County has continuously stimulated the new vitality of cultural and tourism resources and comprehensively launched the construction of the estuary tourist resort.
Covering an area of 70.6 square kilometers, Hekou Tourist Resort includes two national 4A-level tourist attractions, namely Shenquan Ecological Tourism Scenic Area and Yellow River Maiyegu Ecological Leisure Tourism Zone, and a national 3A-level tourist attraction of Yellow River Impression Shenquan Villa, mainly covering four categories of tourism products: riverside sightseeing, vacation fishing, folk customs experience and ecological experience. Here, visitors can not only enjoy the beautiful natural scenery, but also participate in a variety of activities. Whether it's an exciting water sport, a tranquil fishing experience, a joyful casual gathering, or an in-depth cultural visit, every visitor can find their own fun and enjoy their vacation time in a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere.
Tuoketuo County plans to use three years to build a national tourist resort including four scenic spots: Dongshengwei Ancient City, South Lake, Shenquan and Yellow River. Among them, Dongshengwei Ancient City Scenic Area, on the basis of protecting the overall style of the ancient city, has developed projects such as the Cloud Museum, the Northern Xinjiang Cultural Corridor, and the Cave Hotel, and built it into a 5A-level scenic spot as a whole; In the Nanhu Scenic Area, the greening of the surrounding waterfront slope will be renovated and upgraded, and infrastructure such as hydrophilicity, fishing, and recreation will be added, and the overall scenic spot will be built into a 4A-level scenic spot; Shenquan Scenic Area, a new cultivation pottery and fishing project was built, and the surrounding farmhouses were gradually transformed into boutique homestays, and the overall upgrade was upgraded to a 5A-level scenic spot; The Yellow River Scenic Area focuses on building three research bases for the introduction of the Yellow River into the Yellow River, the diversion of the Yellow River to Jidai, and the irrigation of the Yellow River, the "few character bends", the demarcation point of the upper and middle reaches, and the three geographical indications where the Dahei River flows into the Yellow River, and the three humanistic signs of the Junzijin Ferry, the Yellow River Exhibition Hall, and the hydrological station, which further enrich the characteristics of the scenic spot by implanting cultural content.

The completion of the project is of far-reaching significance for building the brand of "Northern Xinjiang Culture", for the protection of cultural relics and cultural inheritance, and for promoting the high-quality development of the cultural tourism industry. Wang Xiaodong of Tuoxian Cultural Tourism Investment Company said.

Ms. Li from Hohhot told reporters.
