Huoshan Cultural-Tourism Initiative: Pioneering New Pathways for Integrated Development in Revolutionary Base Areas

From March 28th to 31st, representatives from thousands of travel agency representatives and cultural tourism experts across the country gathered in Huoshan County, Lu'an City—the gateway to the Dabie Mountains. Through on-site inspections, resource alignment, promotional exchanges, and other activities, they collaboratively explored new pathways for the integrated development of culture and tourism in the Dabie Mountain revolutionary base area.

During the event, the guests visited the Yingjia Chunfeng Study Camp, attended the opening ceremony of Yingjia Chunfeng Street, and took a helicopter ride with Hanchi Aviation to enjoy an aerial view of Huoshan's new landscape. They also cruised on a boat to admire the natural scenery of Foziling Reservoir, tasted unblended liquor at the Qujiu Brewing Base, savored the intangible cultural heritage cuisine "Huoshan Top Ten Delicacies," and visited the giant dendrobium flower sculpture at the Dabie Mountain Dendrobium Cultural Museum. Additionally, they explored the Liuwanqingxia Scenic Area, watched the large-scale immersive live-action performance "Legend of the Dabie Mountains," hiked the majestic Longtouyan Peak, boated through the grand canyon, and enjoyed nighttime light shows and bonfire parties.

Today's Huoshan integrates Baimajian Peak's sea of clouds spectacle, Tongluozhai's bizarre rock formations and cascading waterfalls, millennia-old Huoshan dendrobium wellness retreats, and red revolutionary heritage sites. By implementing the "Two Mountains" concept (lucid waters and lush mountains as invaluable assets), it has pioneered an all-for-one tourism development model. As the gateway city to the Dabie Mountains, Huoshan is weaving ecology as its brush and culture as its ink, writing a new chapter in high-quality development of all-for-one tourism.
