Historical Culture
The Tuanbo New City area where Guanghe Valley Tourist Resort is located historically belonged to the lower reaches of the nine rivers, with abundant water resources. It was one of the important areas of ancient water transport and once witnessed the coming and going of merchant ships from north and south, accumulating a certain cultural heritage of a water town. However, as a relatively new tourism development project, Guanghe Valley Tourist Resort's own historical culture is mainly reflected in the inheritance and development of local traditional ecological culture.
During the development and construction of the scenic area, attention was paid to protecting the surrounding natural ecological environment, drawing on local traditional farming culture and ecological wisdom, and combining ecological protection with tourism development to create a tourism model with the concept of sustainable development. At the same time, some science exhibition halls and display areas within the scenic area also introduce to visitors the local natural ecological evolution history, the development process of traditional agriculture, and other content, allowing visitors to learn about the regional ecological culture and historical changes while enjoying their visit.
