Two Silver Attractions Included in Provincial Transport-Tourism-Sports Corridor Network

Recently, the first achievement promotion conference for the integrated development of transportation, tourism, and sports in Gansu Province was held in Lanzhou. The event unveiled six integrated transport-tourism-sports highway corridors themed around the province's unique mountains, deserts, rivers, and historical journeys. Two attractions in Baiyin City—the Yellow River Stone Forest and the Red Army Huining Meeting Site—have been incorporated into the Gansu section corridor of the Yellow River National Cultural Park and the Gansu section corridor of the Long March National Cultural Park, respectively. This marks Baiyin's full integration into the province's comprehensive transport-tourism-sports development plan.

The Gansu section corridor of the Yellow River National Cultural Park is developed along highways such as S59 and G247, connecting 21 scenic spots including the Yellow River Stone Forest and Liujiaxia. It integrates canyon landscapes and geological wonders, providing a venue for events like city marathons and aquathlon competitions. The Gansu section corridor of the Long March National Cultural Park extends along highways such as G345 and S210, linking nine revolutionary sites including the Red Army Huining Meeting Site and the Ejie Conference Site. Activities like red-themed hiking challenges will be organized along this corridor to carry forward the revolutionary spirit.

The first batch of six provincial-level integrated transport-tourism-sports highway corridors connect 11 5A-level scenic spots and over 100 4A-level scenic spots across the province, transforming highways from mere transit routes into scenic, experiential, and economic lines. Baiyin City will seize this opportunity to fully leverage its advantages in Yellow River culture and red culture. It aims to improve supporting facilities at scenic areas, optimize tourism routes, and enrich service offerings, thereby promoting the deep integration of transportation, culture, tourism, and sports. These efforts are expected to continuously enhance the recognition, reputation, and influence of Baiyin's cultural and tourism sector.
