Colorful Blackwater Kicks off the tourist season

Editor's Note

Another beautiful season of "ten thousand mountains are red, and the forests are dyed".

From the plateau to the basin, from the natural color to the humanistic style, the Shuxiang people make articles around the landscape, show the scenery, run the "money" scenery, and write autumn fairy tales for the revitalization of the countryside. It is necessary to remind that whether it is an open scenic spot or a punch card beauty, it is essential to understand the local epidemic prevention and control policy.

On October 26, the 2021 Sichuan Red Leaf Ecotourism Festival and the 9th Glacier Color Forest Eco-tourism Season of Heishui County, hosted by the Sichuan Forestry and Grassland Bureau and the People's Government of Aba Prefecture, hosted by the People's Government of Heishui County, the Culture, Sports and Tourism Bureau of Aba Prefecture, and the State Forestry and Grassland Bureau, and co-organized by the Dagu Glacier Scenic Area Management Bureau, opened at the Heishui County Milk Gou Cailin Park Visitor Center.

The theme of the eco-cultural tourism season is "Remembering the Long March, Climbing the Snow Mountain, Admiring the Colorful Forest, Viewing the Glacier, Visiting the Countryside, tasting Folk Customs", which lasts from October this year to May next year, during which the China Everest Mountain Friends Conference, the Welcome blessing - Dagu Glacier Logos Sacred Mountain, collectors celebrate the New Year and other activities will be carried out.

In order to further polish the golden signboard of "Great Long March, Great Snow Mountain, Great Glacier, Great Color forest", Heishui County took the opportunity of holding this event to further display the cultural tourism image of "Holy Glacier and Colorful Blackwater", enhance the brand of Blackwater cultural tourism, and make every effort to build an "International Tourist Destination of Glacier Colored Forest" and create a provincial-level global tourism demonstration area.

The milk ditch in autumn is colorful, and under the blue sky, the colorful forest can be seen. The endless color forest in the canyon is like an intoxicating colored corridor, from top to bottom, the autumn wind stirs, and the colorful leaves flutter like colorful butterflies.

From the river valley to the top of the mountain, thousands of trees are dyed by the autumn wind, constituting the soul of the "Snowy Gallery". The glittering Milk Valley 80-mile color forest, the exquisite Karongou 60-mile color forest area, the beautiful 60-mile ancient glacier color forest area, the unforgettable 30-mile Sanao Snow Mountain Color forest area... Together, they form the colorful business card of Blackwater Tourism.

Another business card of Blackwater, Dagu Glacier, is the world's lowest, largest and youngest glacier, and the closest glacier to the city, which is praised by Mao Dun Literature Award and Lu Xun Literature Prize winner Alai as "the nearest distant".

Dagu Glacier is a rare modern mountain glacier, with a total of 19 modern mountain glaciers, the core area of the glacier is 6.25 square kilometers, the accumulation is about 30 meters, and the glacial erosion landform and moraine accumulation landform in the ice area are rich and magical. Stroll through the scenic area, the green boardwalks are scattered, dotted with colorful trees, you can personally feel the majesty of the glacier and the soothing of the sun.

Good scenery brings good "money scenery". In recent years, through the establishment of a symbiotic relationship between tourism development and ecological environment, Heishui County has embarked on a sustainable development path with the goal of "Glacier Color Forest International Tourist Destination", and the appearance of the mountain color forest has become the most beautiful season of Blackwater, and has also made Blackwater a well-known autumn tourism destination. According to statistics, in 2020 alone, Heishui County received a total of 1.7637 million tourists, an increase of 10.1% year-on-year, and achieved tourism revenue of 139926 million yuan, an increase of 9% year-on-year.
