Abstract:To transform the results of the general survey on the cultural and tourism resources of Nangqian County, Qinghai Province, the paper puts forward eight major tourism themes, including plateau eco-tourism, popular science study trips for Karst geomorphy in alpine areas and salt culture, experience trips for Tibetan Buddhism, Gesar culture, and ancient villages culture, as well as the road trip and appreciation trip of folk song and dance performances, on the basis of the distribution characteristics and resources of Nangqian's cultural and tourism. It also divides Nangqian County into four cultural and tourism zones, namely the Comprehensive Core Circle of Tourism at Xiangda Town, the Alpine Pasture Sightseeing Zone in Northwest Nangqian, the Ecological Forest and Outdoor Relaxation Zone in Eastern Nangqian, and the Mountains and Valleys and Religious Culture Zone in Southwest Nangqian. Combining Nangqian County's development planning on tourism, the paper also proposes an overall layout of the local tourism development that focuses on "one core, eight centers, two corridors, three regions and four routes", aiming to help the county create a brand of its cultural and tourism industry that is more professional and international in an all-round manner.
