Suggestions for foreign tourism to Hanzhong
I have been privileged to visit a few of the many attractions for Chinese and foreign tourists in the Hanzhong area. The attractions include historical and cultural sites, spectacular scenery and places where the unique environment and wildlife can be experienced. Access was a problem in the past but has recently improved greatly with the opening of the Xihan Highway and will improve further in the future. Access to areas along the secondary routes is, however, still hampered by the many trucks travelling from all over China between the north and the south. In the past,
Hanzhong has a wealth of relics of past events and the people who have made history. Western people are very interested in the long history of Chinese culture so that these relics provide a significant advantage that will bring people to Hanzhong. For example, the association of Hanzhong with the “Three Kingdoms” period is interesting to people in the West where there is access to translations of the famous novels about these times. From such interest, their discovery of the more extensive cultural richness will enrich their stay. But Hanzhong has not been well known overseas as a tourist location. In China, I believe the interest in the Hanzhong area has increased rapidly, but I think that in the west it is still relatively unknown. My first suggestion is to make Hanzhong and its region better known can be achieved through travel and exchange, travel writers visiting, translations of Chinese language introductions into other languages, dual language signs and guides, foreign language web sites, conferences, cooperation with foreign tourist agencies and discounted special promotional packages. I am sure Hanzhong has already embarked on this effort.
Western people are very interested in the environment. It is a great tourist attraction. Many people love to hike on mountain trails and through scenic areas and enjoy “adventure tourism”. These attractions exist in the Hanzhong region. The combination of culture and history with environment and adventure tourism provides Hanzhong with great advantage. Western people highly value conservation and preservation of the environment as a tourist attraction. I suggest that there are some things that can be done to improve their experience. For example, in the Qinling there are places with relatively difficult trails that reach unique scenes and environments. But they are threatened by growing levels of “white pollution” and rubbish. I am sure the Hanzhong government is well aware of this. Having organised rangers and site management can create employment for local people, preserve the environment and increase the number of people able to visit the attractions. In areas that are hard to manage, perhaps volunteers can visit to retrieve and re-cycle the “white pollution”. The added value to the tourist industry and improved sustainability of the sites will be well rewarded.
