Guanyuan city, Sichuan province, held a conference to promote its cultural tourism in Datong city, inviting Datong people to visit Jianmen Ancient Shu Road and the hometown of Empress Wu Zetian, the only female empress in Chinese history. The meeting publicized five tourist routes and displayed the ecological beauty and cultural charm of Guangyuan, a city with a mixture of northern and southern cultures in China.
The five themed travel routes are Jianmen Ancient Shu Road and the Three Kingdoms tour (a cluster of cultural relics in Chinese history dating from AD 220 to 280), the hometown of Empress Wu Zetian cultural tour, a hot spring and landscape ecological tour, a village experience tour and a classical red revolution tour. Represented by Jianmen Pass, an impregnable pass, the first route is characterized by its rich historical and cultural heritage from the Three Kingdoms period, giving tourists the feeling of a war-torn and heroic age. The second route displays the wise and romantic life of Empress Wu Zetian. The ecological tour gives tourists a refreshing experience in body and mind. The village tour may bring back memories of beautiful hometowns in the pastoral countryside. The red revolution tour tells the war stories of the Red Army and people living in war-torn areas.
A photo exhibition of scenic spots in Guangyuan took place in front of the entrance of Huayan Temple in Datong. The local people got the chance to experience the historical, cultural and natural ecological charm of Guangyuan.
