The first Baojing Tourism Development Conference presented a new look of tourism in Baojing County with three settings of local water, mountains and tea from March 20 to March 21.

Water

A series of Tujia folk intangible cultural heritage performances were staged along the water platform of Youshui Avenue by the Youshui River, such as the Copper Bell Dance and Hand-waving Dance. You could immerse yourself in the unique Tujia folk culture of Baojing and feel the hospitality of the Baojing people.

Additionally, there were intangible heritage foods like Baojing Soy Sauce and Baojing Moon Cakes, as well as Baojing Golden Tea like green tea, black tea and dark tea.

Baojing people often enjoy their relaxing moment there.

Baojing County boasts ancient streets, carved wooden window lattices, black and green slates and brown stilted buildings adorned by red couplets and red lanterns. It also provides some local snacks, such as popcorn, rice tofu and soy sauce rice.

This is a new Internet-famous place full of Baojing people’s memory


 
Mountains
 
Situated in the depth of the Wuling Mountains in the second stage of the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau, Dafengchong Canyon lies in a “Z” shape among the towering mountains of Lyudong Mountain in Baojing County.

The canyon is decorated by dozens of large and small waterfalls and springs, where local young men and women fall in love.

Now, this is a new scenic spot in Baojing County.


 
At night, the valley is ablaze with lights. Walking along the bottom of the valley, you will pass the Water Mist Gate, Caobuduo Square, the Angel Square, the Tent Camp, the Music Meadow and the Ring Waterfall .
 
Lyudong Mountain is sanctified by the Miao people. It is said that the Miao ancestors were defeated by enemies and then moved here. Some of the Miao ancestor settled down and multiplied here, while more continued to move southwest over the mountains.
 
With the rising sound of music, the live-action drama of “The Miao Village at the Foot of the Holy Mountain” was staged, which started with “Migration” and ended with “Labor”, “Peaceful Life” and “Banquet”.
 
Songs, drums, tea and wine were integrated into the play to represent the changes of the Miao people for thousands of years, which formed a real, beautiful, exquisite and magnificent landscape drama that belongs only to Baojing Dafengchong.


 
Tea
 
In Baojing, tea boasts its unique fragrance.

There are a total of 2,057 ancient tea trees in seven ancient tea gardens. The oldest tea tree has grown for 417 years and is praised as “the drinkable cultural relic”.

In the Ming Dynasty, when an imperial official Lu Jie went by Baojing County with his teams, more than a hundred soldiers were infected with miasma. Then they recovered by taking the soup boiled with the tea on a-hundred-year-old tree tea by the Lengzhai River of Baojing County. Lu Jie thanked her with the gold and listed the tea as a tribute.
 

 
Baojing Gold Tea industry has made great contributions in poverty alleviation, helping 18,000 registered poor people in the county to get out of poverty.
 
The county is making every effort to create a distinctive and impressive golden tea brand and develop cultural tourism based on the tea industry. In this way, villagers can make money at their hometown and step into a new journey of rural revitalization.

The first Baojing Tourism Development Conference has displayed the abundant resources unique to Baojing County, injecting impetus into the further development of the county’s cultural tourism.
