"High Speed Rail +" helps the beautiful scenery of Southeast Yunnan out of "boudoir"

Back to the Castle Peak, green water in front, fairy lake around the village. "Visiting Puzhehei, living in Xianren cave and tasting Sani people's folk culture" has become a famous "gold lettered signboard" in Xianrendong village, Qiubei County, Wenshan Zhuang and Miao Autonomous Prefecture, Yunnan Province.

But who would have thought that today's "national civilized village" and "national key village of rural tourism" used to be a well-known poverty-stricken village in Qiubei County. In the past, the villagers of this small fishing village of Yi nationality lived a life of men farming and women weaving. Nowadays, tourism has become the pillar industry of Xianrendong village.

On December 28, 2016, Yunnan Guangxi railway was put into operation, and a station was set up in Qiubei County, named Puzhehei station. Since then, it has been connected to the national high-speed rail network. Puzhehei, which means "lake full of fish and shrimp" in Yi language, has the largest karst Wetland Park in the world.

"It used to take at least four hours to drive from Kunming to Puzhehei. It is very difficult to connect tourist attractions in Southeast Yunnan." Fan Chengyuan, head of Xianrendong village, said, "after the opening of high-speed rail, passenger flow has increased substantially. At present, the villagers have become rich by tourism, with an average annual income of nearly 50000 yuan per capita. "

Over the past three years, Qiubei County once hidden in the "boudoir" beauty lifted the veil of mystery. With the convergence of high-speed rail network, the popularity of tourism industry and the influence of tourism products in Qiubei County are further improved.

According to relevant data, in 2016, Qiubei County received 3.45 million domestic tourists, realizing a comprehensive tourism income of 2 billion yuan; in 2019, the county received 5.85 million domestic tourists, realizing a comprehensive tourism income of 5.25 billion yuan.

Before the opening of the high-speed rail, 80% of the tourists drove to Puzhehei scenic spot by themselves, and there were also many buses for tour groups. This will bring great test to the parking volume and the smooth degree of the road. In the early stage of construction, some roads less than 6 meters wide in the scenic area are often congested.

At present, Wenshan rail transit line 4 is stepping up construction. In the future, transfer from the railway station to light rail can directly reach Puzhehei scenic spot, and the tourism service experience will be more beautiful. At that time, the number of vehicles entering the scenic area will be greatly reduced, which can leave more space for the upgrading of the six major landscapes, namely, water country of water, water village of Yi people, peak forest of lakes, karst wetland, Lotus World and fish and bird paradise.

The high-speed rail links Qiubei County with the "triangle tourism circle" of Yunnan, Guangxi and Guizhou, accelerating the integration process of regional tourism cooperation. With the help of high-speed rail network, Southeast Yunnan can realize the full linkage of regional tourism market, which plays an important role in promoting Qiubei County and even Wenshan Prefecture to build a demonstration area for transformation and upgrading of tourism and cultural industry in Yunnan Province, a new highland for the development of tourism and cultural industry in Yunnan Province, and a famous international tourism destination.

At present, Puzhehei scenic spot is in full swing, and the "high-speed rail +" mode will also inject new impetus into the local optimization and integration of tourism resources and the promotion of tourism quality and speed.
