Key Analysis
1. All-altitude sports science popularization and sightseeing, mountain foot summer resort vacation, and unlimited tourism at the foot of the mountain.
A large number of resort projects are located in the mid-low mountains. Summer resort projects are suitable for mid-low mountains. Sports sightseeing and science popularization projects run through various sections of the mountains. In general, the amount of land use is inversely proportional to the construction altitude. The resources at the foot of the mountain are mostly natural pastoral scenery, suitable for developing cultural tourism supporting leisure areas and production areas. The resources at the foot of the mountain are mostly natural and folk villages, suitable for developing tourism real estate, tourism distribution, and health preservation and other leisure products. The resources in the mountains are mostly forest resources and natural landscapes corresponding to mountains and rivers, suitable for developing science popularization and sightseeing, mountain sports, small-scale niche resort functions, leisure health preservation, and tourism resorts. The resources on the mountain are mostly dangerous, the best viewing points, and religious temples, suitable for developing extreme sightseeing, extreme sports, and characteristic accommodation.
2. Large dispersion-small aggregation spatial distribution.
Mountain resort tourism development should follow the direction of mountain shape and terrain, "dispersed" layout in river valleys, plains, and low mountain areas, connected by road systems and landscape recreation systems, forming a large dispersion-small aggregation spatial distribution. The land distribution characteristics of mountain tourism space are three-dimensional composite and small supply. The whole land is spatially divided and blocked by mountains and valleys, forming a "dispersed" land use layout.
