the “Industrial Road” of developing industry and enriching the people
Long Dabie Mountain, drunk beauty and red mountains. In spring, the Dabie Mountains are covered with red mountains and become a beautiful scenery, attracting many self driving tourists.
Dabie Mountain National Scenic path is located in the Dabie Mountain Area in Western Anhui, connecting Anhui and Hubei provinces and connecting the north and South foothills of Dabie Mountain. The red scenic spot and green ecology complement each other. At present, the scenic corridor system of Dabie Mountain, which is built with the scenic corridor as the link, connects the three districts and four counties of Lu’an City, the old revolutionary base, and connects the city’s key scenic spots and characteristic tourism resources into a line, forming a unique “golden view light” of Dabie mountain.
Relying on the construction of Dabie Mountain National Scenic path, the local tourism industry has developed rapidly. Many scenic spots and villages and towns along the line, such as Tiantangzhai and Yanzihe Grand Canyon, have achieved prosperity. Among them, the proportion of self driving tour in Tiantangzhai, a 5A scenic spot, has increased by 20% year by year in recent years; At present, more than 3000 people in Taiyang township of Huoshan County are engaged in tourism related industries, driving the per capita income of the whole township to increase by 5000 yuan.

According to the relevant person in charge of Lu’an culture and Tourism Bureau, the scenic road not only creates a smooth traffic environment for tourists, but also provides a broad space for tourism development along the line, opening a new era of “fast forward and slow travel” of Dabie Mountain tourism.
Like the Dabie Mountain National Scenic Road, the construction of scenic roads such as the Sichuan Tibet line in southern Anhui and the Jianghuai watershed scenic road has also played an industrial driving role in driving the rapid development of villages along the line and realizing the villagers to get rid of poverty and become rich. Among them, the Sichuan Tibet line in southern Anhui runs through four counties and urban areas of Xuancheng City, connects 14 scenic spots above 3A level, and develops more than 700 farmhouses and guest houses, indirectly driving 65000 people in 17 townships and towns along the line to increase their income.

splendid and colorful “Cultural Road”
The Huaihe River is rippling with blue waves and faces the Anhui river 800 miles away. The Jianghuai watershed is the dividing line, forming a strange phenomenon of “one ridge divides north and south, and the Jianghuai river flows by itself”. As the dividing line between the Yangtze River Basin and the Huaihe River Basin, the Jianghuai watershed is also the blending area and confluence of North and South China in the traditional sense. Chuzhou, which is located between the Yangtze and Huaihe rivers, is a complete exhibition of the connotation of Jianghuai watershed.
The Jianghuai watershed scenic road is built on the ridge of the Jianghuai watershed. It has obvious regional geological and geomorphic characteristics, beautiful and unique scenery on the ridge, and rich natural ecological and cultural landscape resources. It is a self driving route with the theme of “Hui Feng Wan Yun” with Anhui cultural characteristics. With a total length of 420 kilometers, the scenic path is like a color belt, connecting many national forest parks, nature reserves, geoparks, cultural sites, water conservancy hubs, scenic spots, characteristic tourism villages and towns and various rural tourist spots in Chuzhou. More than 80% of them cross the Jianghuai watershed ridge to provide tourists with a unique self driving experience.
In addition to the beautiful natural ecology, rich cultural relics and other cultural tourism resources are also the core attraction of this scenic path. According to the overall construction layout of the scenic path “one core (Langya Mountain), one corridor (main corridor), six entrances (six main entrances of the expressway), eight sections (eight characteristic sections), fifteen branches (15 series branch lines) and multiple post points (multiple post nodes)”, Langya mountain, a famous historical and cultural mountain, has become the core, and Ming imperial mausoleum, Xiaogang Village, zhoujiagang martyrs cemetery, Longshan temple, Santa temple, Shenshan temple and other millennium old temples are important nodes.
In recent years, under the guidance of Anhui Provincial Department of culture and tourism, Chuzhou has taken the Jianghuai watershed scenic path as the “No. 1” project and demonstration project of global tourism. Through the implementation of the “four major projects” of smooth roads, complete supporting facilities, environmental improvement and business cultivation, Chuzhou has spared no effort to promote the construction of scenic path. By the end of August 2021, the main corridor has been completed and put into operation, becoming a real “thousand mile Gallery” characteristic self driving tour line product in East Anhui.
In September 2021, Chuzhou successfully hosted the 8th Anhui self driving tour conference. The six self driving tour routes launched around the Jianghuai watershed scenic road were highly praised, which played a significant role in driving the National Day in 2021 and the new year’s Day holiday market in 2022.

Nowadays, both the self driving tour conference in Anhui Province and several batches of self driving routes promoted in recent years have become a loud brand.
When cultivating self driving tourism, Anhui province attaches great importance to the combination with the integrated development of regional culture and tourism in the Yangtze River Delta. In March this year, the 2022 joint conference of the Yangtze River Delta culture and Tourism Alliance was held in Huangshan City, Anhui Province. The cultural and tourism departments of one city and three provinces launched a list of more than 50 works of cultural tourism in the Yangtze River Delta this year, including the coordinated promotion of the construction of Xin’an River Baili gallery and Anhui Zhejiang No. 1 tourism scenic road, the eco-cultural tourism circle around Taihu Lake, the construction of Hangzhou yellow world-class natural ecology and cultural tourism corridor, etc. through regional cooperation and linkage development, Promote scientific development and resource allocation.

Xuancheng has become one of the preferred destinations for self driving tourists in the Yangtze River Delta and even China.

Taking advantage of the construction of Dabie Mountain Scenic corridor, Lu’an City has actively built a “slow travel cycle network”, continuously improved the construction of tourism infrastructure along the line, and made great efforts to improve the travel experience of tourists. China Hongling highway, mountain lake tourism Avenue, Jiuli landscape gallery and other “traffic tourism integration” projects have been implemented. The context of a “global tourism network” connecting all districts and counties in Lu’an has gradually become clear, weaving a beautiful picture of harmony and integration.
