www.chinanews.cn 2005-03-28 14:32:28

Chinanews, Mar. 27 - Linzhi area, haled as "Tibet's Jiangnan (south of
the Yangtze River)," has strived to develop unique tourist resorts with
distinctive ethnic features, create new tourist routes, and build itself
up as a world-class tourism hotspot in the "Roof of the World." The area
received 320,000 visitors from home and abroad and earned more than 72
million yuan in 2004.
Linzhi lies in the southeast of Tibet, more than 3000 meters high on
average. Tibetans, Monba, Lhola and other minority groups with their
unique customs populate the area. The geography and human diversity make
this rarely visited, sparsely populated land an ideal destination for
traveling, sightseeing, scientific research and adventure. This one small
area is home to some of the greatest geographical discoveries of the 20th
century: the world's largest canyon, Brahmaputra Canyon, the best
preserved primeval forest in the world, Zibagou State Natural Protection
Zone, Sejila and Basongcuo State Forest Parks, and Yigong State Geologic
Park. All are invaluable resources for building a world-class tourism
destination.
LInzhi has begun the multi-faceted Xiangbala Tourism Project, with 6
unique tourist routes, 8 tourist resorts and more than 50 scenic spots.
The innovative project has stimulated the development of 4 major tourist
routes in the Niyang River strip, Basongcuo State 4A Tourist Resorts,
Lulang Forest and Brahmaputra Canyon Ecotourism Area, integrated
scattered tourist spots into key products, accelerated construction of
supporting facilities and upgraded the tourism industry of the area.
Moreover, Linzhi has strengthened marketing potential by holding programs
with unique themes, such as the Peach Blossom Festival, Azalea Festival
and Kampot New Year.
