Xiangshan County, belonging to Ningbo City, Zhejiang Province, is located on the coast of the East China Sea, with beautiful island scenery and rich marine resources. In recent years, with the vigorous development of tourism in Xiangshan county, Xiangshan has become one of the important island tourist destinations in Zhejiang province with the theme of "the most beautiful coastline at 30 degrees north latitude" and vigorously promoting the tourism direction of playing in the sea and eating seafood.
Maoyang Township is located in the south-central part of Xiangshan Peninsula, surrounded by mountains on three sides and facing the sea on one side. For the whole Xiangshan, the island scenery here is not dominant. However, Maoyang Township is close to crab crab Crab Harbor and is rich in little seafood. Relying on this advantage, 2 1 village in Maoyang township has been built as a characteristic island rural tourism destination. Every holiday, go on road trip cars in neighboring provinces, cities and counties stop here, and the tourism market is very hot.
In the past, most of the villagers in Maoyang were fishermen and farmers, who depended on the weather for food. Hard-working and kind-hearted Maoyang people built small foreign buildings with their own hands and lived a comfortable life. With the rise of tourism in Maoyang township, unified management, unified training and unified allocation of resources, every family has set up farmhouse music, which has made local farmers taste the sweetness brought by venture capital for the first time.
Seeing the popularity of some scenic spots among online celebrities in recent years, Maoyang villagers with a keen sense of smell once again saw business opportunities. In Baiyanxia village, a tourism development model supported by the local government, led by the collective and raised by villagers was created. Each of the 200 villagers invested 8,000 yuan to raise 2 million yuan to build the first glass sightseeing plank road in Xiangshan in Xianyan scenic spot in the village.
The whole glass plank road is built by Baiyanxian Scenic Area, with a total length of 160m and a width of1.5m. It is composed of three layers of tempered laminated glass, with a bearing capacity of 800kg per square meter. To ensure the safety of people's lives and property, this plank road is also one of the four theme parks of "Mountain, Field, Sea and Water" created by rural tourism in Maoyang, Xiangshan.
The entrance to the scenic spot is the Chinese gatehouse. After entering, you need to walk up the mountain, with streams, trees and tinkling springs. The step road paved with stone slabs gives you a complete set of returning to nature without losing the standard scenic spot. It takes about 20 minutes to climb the mountain. The mountain road is not steep, suitable for all ages. It's a good lung washing and fitness trip. Of course, there are several pavilions along the way where tourists can rest when they are tired.
The whole glass plank road is almost at the top of the mountain and built along the vertical cliff. Standing at its foot is a hundred-foot cliff, which is still a little surprising. Brave people walk on the ground, but timid people can't move. In Ningbo dialect, "the feet are playing the pipa." However, standing on the plank road overlooking the scenery is still very good. The whole crab claw harbor has a panoramic view. It is said that it is the most beautiful place to watch the sunset at sea at night.
For me, a traveler who walks all the year round, the glass plank road has gone through countless times. This height difference in Maoyang Township is not too big, nor is it very dangerous.
However, for tourists in Ningbo, this is definitely a novel landscape belt, because it is the first one. People watch others walk on their mobile phones every day, and finally have such a glass plank road at home. Of course they want to experience it.
65438+In May 2009, once the glass plank road in Maoyang Township was launched, it became a scenic spot among local network celebrities, and tourists flocked to it. In just over half a year, the ticket revenue of the glass plank road was as high as 4.5 million yuan. The villagers not only recovered their costs, but also received dividends, making them the fastest-growing and most profitable tourism projects in Xiangshan County.
Later, while the iron was hot, they built a glass slide under the glass plank road. Visitors don't have to go down the mountain after going up the mountain to experience the glass plank road. They can slide on the glass slide for a few minutes, which not only shortens the downhill time and saves their physical strength, but also experiences another new project, which is a double blow and has won unanimous praise from tourists.
It is understood that the success of the glass plank road in Maoyang Township has been imitated by many scenic spots in surrounding cities and counties, but the effect is not good, and there may be many reasons, especially in this special period of this year.
However, I want to say that tourism, like other industries, needs innovation. Although a sip of water can be effective, it is difficult to seize market share by imitating it blindly, so think of some new ideas to attract tourists.
