As early as 2020, Guangdong has become the first province in the country to exceed 10,000 kilometers of highway traffic mileage, and has set the first "Guangdong length" of the national highway mileage for 7 consecutive years. From Guangzhou, 67 counties (cities) in the province can be reached along the highway, especially in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, where the dense high-speed network makes traffic extremely smooth.
This year, the Central Propaganda Department, together with the Ministry of Transport, the Ministry of Culture and Tourism and other departments jointly launched the "Look at China along the Highway" activity, on this basis, Nandu Cultural Tourism organized the launch of the "Great Beauty Guangdong Discovery Tour", and as a field research activity of "Guangdong People's Favorite Tourist Destination Evaluation", the first stop was Shaoguan, which is known as the "back garden of the Greater Bay Area".
【Background】
Nandu Launches "Great Beauty Guangdong Discovery Tour"
The first stop was shaoguan to conduct field research
This year, the Southern Metropolis Daily continued to launch the "Guangdong People's Favorite Tourist Destinations and Brands" appraisal activity, and launched five lists with the theme of "Better Life, Cultural Tourism First", including: Guangdong people's favorite coastal tourism destination, Guangdong people's favorite health tourism destination, Guangdong people's favorite parent-child tourism destination, Guangdong people's favorite characteristic town, and Guangdong people's favorite beautiful countryside. In addition, three special recommendation lists have been added, including Guangdong Red Tourism Destinations, Hong Kong and Macao Most Anticipated Tourist Destinations, and Southeast Asia's Most Anticipated Tourist Destinations. In view of the efforts of the cultural tourism industry in the prevention and control of the epidemic and self-help innovation in the past two years, this appraisal activity also specially collected "cultural tourism anti-epidemic innovation cases" to show the spirit of cultural tourism people to face difficulties and actively innovate and save themselves.
In addition, the "Great Beauty Guangdong Discovery Tour" offline research activities will be held to explore the beauty of Guangdong in various scenic spots in Guangdong. The first group of the "Damei Guangdong Discovery Tour" entered Shaoguan, which is the first stop of the "2021 Guangdong People's Favorite Tourist Destination Evaluation" research activity.
The first group walked into Shaoguan, which has the reputation of "the back garden of the Greater Bay Area", punched in Yunmen Mountain and Danxia Mountain on the spot, visited the Memorial Hall of the Red Army's Long March in Northern Guangdong, and felt the beauty of Guangdong. Nandu reporters walked into the major scenic spots in Shaoguan and introduced the richness and beauty of Guangdong to readers in the form of photos, short videos, live broadcasts, etc., to help regional brand building and enhance the popularity of local scenic spots.
In recent years, Shaoguan has strengthened the construction of a green ecological environment and integrated into the construction of the Greater Bay Area, and in this field survey, we feel the advantages of Shaoguan as the "back garden of the Greater Bay Area".
Glass bridges, cliff swings, elevator waterfalls...
The influencer elements you want are all here
Shaoguan has many famous scenery, but it still spares no effort in creating a popular scenic spot. Yunmen Mountain is a very popular scenic spot recently, glass bridge, elevator waterfall, step by step, high-altitude bicycle, cliff swing, candy cable car, screaming fountain, sky realm, ferris wheel, water world, ocean park, ice castle, cute pet paradise, plant maze, folk culture wax museum... The influencer elements you can think of can almost all be found here.
We just caught up with the 8th anniversary celebration series of activities of "Longing for Summer in Yunmen Mountain", "Top Ten High-altitude Internet Celebrity Project Challenge" and "Water Tourism Carnival" and other theme activities. The way up the hill is also very easy, the cable car here uses bright candy colors, full of fairy tale flavor, sitting on the cable car, all the way up, the scenery on both sides is also very good, and the gentle breeze, not at all feel hot.
Yunmen Mountain Glass Bridge is the first high-altitude transparent landscape glass bridge in Guangdong, with a total length of 316 meters, a width of 2.8 meters, and a vertical height of 168 meters, equivalent to the height of about 40 floors. Walking on the bridge, you can see the beautiful scenery on both sides, and the bridge deck is transparent, you can directly see the scenery of the canyon, and the scenery is extremely beautiful at the same time.
"Flying waterfall on the clouds" is an exciting project, the waterfall here has a 168-meter elevator viewing waterfall, the elevator is hidden behind the waterfall, as long as a light press, you can rise from the bottom of the waterfall to the top of the cliff, the key is that this elevator is still transparent, through the glass, you can see the spectacular flow down.
The best place to see the cliff falls is in Peach Blossom Valley, where the waterfall roars down the river in a majestic way. The water splashed down, the water mist was misty, and it carried a layer of mysterious feeling. If you come here with just the right sunlight, you can also see the water mist splashed by the waterfall to create a rainbow, which makes it feel like entering a wonderland.
Hongfu Pan is located under the "Towel Immortal Pond", and the Fu character on the boulder is particularly imposing, and in traditional Chinese culture, the huge Fu character always has a unique position. The red fu character is particularly vivid and vivid in the green mountains and waters here.
Step by step thrilling, high-altitude bicycles, cliff swings and other high-altitude projects are more exciting than one, and the little friends also encountered a "thrilling" "flat belt" performance here. The flat belt is also called walking rope, the English name Slackline, that is, walking on the flat belt fixed between two points. This flat belt is fixed to the two hills of Yunmen Mountain, and the athletes complete various difficult skill exercises on this rope, and below the flat belt is the abyss.
The details in the scenic area are also very careful. For example, when passing by the door of the Folk Culture Wax Museum in the Yunmen Mountain Scenic Area, I saw a security uncle who was leaning on a chair and dozing off, "The security guard is asleep!" Can we sneak in and have a look? "But when I looked closer, I found that the security guard was fake, it was a wax figure. The security guard's skin, hat, clothes, and shoes are so realistic that the child can't help but reach out and touch his face.
Travel to Danxia from another angle
Go deep into the mountains and forests to watch the trees grow
Danxia Mountain is a World Natural Heritage Scenic Spot, but also the highlight of our trip, tourists to Danxia Mountain, generally will go to the famous "Yangyuanshi" scenic spot, which is also the most familiar symbol of Danxia Mountain. The tour guide Wheat specially reminded: "Take pictures here, you can't use scissor hands!" Everyone laughed.
From another angle, you can sit on a cruise ship and enjoy the beauty of "Danxia on the Water". The cruise boat departs from the pier and travels on the picturesque Jinjiang River, passing along the way through scenic spots such as Sleeping Beauty, Elephant Crossing, Cactus, Shepherd Elephant Boy, General Village, Emperor Umbrella, Jinshiyan Temple, Carp Jumping Dragon Gate, Elder Peak, Beichuan Temple, Golden Turtle Pilgrimage, Celebrity Image, Maitreya Buddha, Beer Corridor, Six-Fingered Demon Hunt, Ancient Quarry, Monk Hat Peak, Teapot Peak, Guanyin Sending Son, Sister Peak and so on. The captain explains as he sails the boat. His explanation is funny and humorous, making the friends laugh, the peaks on both sides of the Jinjiang River are depicted in his depiction, as if they have life, and the scenery has become flexible, "Those beer bottles in the beer corridor are also too similar, manufacturers can consider coming here to name ah!" "The most similar is the teapot peak, exactly the same as the teapot in our house!"
The last stop at Danxia Mountain is to take a cable car to see Danxia, which is also a very special experience. The cable car station is located at the foot of Presbyterian Peak, which can reach the top of the mountain in 4 minutes, and then walk a short mountain road to the Shaoyin Pavilion of Baozhu Peak, where you can experience the thrill of "seeing the mountains and small mountains".
Shaoguan is the back garden of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, where the rich vegetation and species have aroused great interest among children, who carefully observe the insects encountered on the mountain, write down the name of each tree, and on the mountain road from Danxia Mountain to Shaoyin Pavilion, surrounded by green trees, but several tall masson pines have been cut down, and some tree trunks are also inserted with syringes. According to the tour guide, because "they are sick and very serious". According to reports, the masson pine here is infected with "pine caterpillar disease", and the larvae of the pine caterpillar eat the needles and eat the leaves, causing the death of the pine forest. In order to prevent the spread of pests and diseases, the very sick pine trees had to be cut down. The less ill trees have needles inserted into them, which is to treat them.
Recreate the battlefield with acoustic and optoelectronic technology
The story of the Long March is deeply moving
The Red Army Long March In Northern Guangdong Memorial Hall is the last stop of the trip to Shaoguan, which is also the only patriotic education base in Guangdong to commemorate the Long March of the Red Army. As soon as they arrived at the door, the visitors were shocked, the entire memorial building is a work of art, the form of the exhibition is particularly vivid, and the children feel that our happy life today is not easy to come by after visiting. There is also a red town here, where you can eat Red Army meals, walk Red Army Street, eat water from Red Army wells, and live in the old squad leader's homestay.
The format of the exhibition in the memorial is also particularly interesting. The deepest impression is the "Battle of Shuikou", the memorial uses sound and photoelectric technology to recreate the war situation of that year, the roar of aircraft and shell bombardment also rise and fall in the exhibition hall, and the audience seems to "return to the battlefield". After successfully taking Chengkou, the Red Army was able to take a short rest in the town, which was the first time since the Red Army began the Long March from Ruijin, Jiangxi province in October 1934, when 57,000 Red Army troops entered The City Pass. At that time, although there were many people, they were strictly disciplined, and they never entered the villagers' homes, so they slept and rested on the street. When the villagers saw this, they dismantled the door panels of their shops and laid straw so that the Red Army soldiers could sleep on them. The streets and alleys where the Soldiers of the Red Army slept were called "Red Army Street", the memorial restored the historical style of "Red Army Street", and the statues of the Red Army sleeping on the streets moved visitors.
"To join the revolution is to be home, and there should be an end to the bloody rain and wind." Taking righteousness into benevolence, the world is full of free flowers. Marshal Chen Yi's "Three Chapters of Meiling", which was engraved on the edge of the Meiguan Ancient Road, told the heroic feelings of countless hot-blooded children. The Long March Red Army, which went north, went through all kinds of hardships to create miracles in the world, and stained the mountains and rivers of the motherland with the blood of tens of thousands of soldiers.
The Long March is a manifesto, a propaganda team, and a seeding machine. The red land of northern Guangdong was also sown with revolutionary seeds because of the Long March of the Red Army. The spirit of the Long March, which is intertwined with blood and fire, suffering and loyalty, struggle and sacrifice, has become a precious spiritual wealth of the people of Shaoguan and provided a huge spiritual motivation for everyone who comes to visit the Memorial Hall of the Red Army's Long March in Northern Guangdong.
