It is rich in species resources, diverse in ecosystem types, and rich in landscape resources such as mountains, rivers, forests, fields, lakes, grass, and sand. Relying on the ongoing construction of the Yangtze River National Cultural Park, connecting the natural and cultural resources of various regions along the Yangtze River, from point to line, from line to surface, can promote the formation of a unique and complementary cultural and tourism industry chain, and create a cultural brand with international influence. Strengthen the restoration and protection of historical and cultural blocks, optimize the design of cultural and leisure routes, create new experiential projects and consumption scenes with the characteristics of the Yangtze River culture, and promote the integration of millennium cultural heritage into modern urban development.
