On December 6, the early morning mist had yet to disperse in the Zongge Mountain Ecological Resort Area in Jinzhuping Village, Lijia Town, Linshui County, Guang'an City. Ding Xianrong, a citizen from Chongqing, has visited the area for five consecutive years, witnessing the transformation of 'slow mountain life' from a concept to a tourist destination.

As a key cultural and tourism project in the Mingyue Mountain Green Development Demonstration Belt, Zongge Mountain mainly promotes a blend of agriculture and tourism with a 'camping style,' precisely targeting the Chongqing tourism market, with all major areas of Chongqing about 40 kilometers away.

Linshui County actively promotes cross-provincial collaboration, utilizing resources such as Huaying Mountain, Tongluo Mountain, and Mingyue Mountain to enrich the tourist experience. For these years, Linshui County has formulated multiple plans, participated in regional alliances, and signed cooperation agreements with neighboring counties in Chongqing, initiating a pattern of cross-regional cultural and tourism collaboration.

Jinzhuping Village was once a poverty-stricken village. In 2018, the resort project commenced, with the enterprise raising funds for road construction and the government investing 68 million yuan to improve infrastructure. The scenic area has revitalized 1,500 mu of barren hills, increasing the income of the villagers. In 2022, the scenic area became a national 3A-level tourist attraction, constructing numerous landscape facilities and camping sites.

The scenic area maintains an 80% forest coverage, promotes forest farming, and drives the increase of villagers' income. Currently, the scenic area cultivate flowers, orchards, and edible fungi, planning to develop a deep-processing industrial chain. Villager Li Xiufen mentioned that the income is now stable, with dividends at the end of the year.

The newly constructed industrial path connects the Sichuan-Chongqing tourism market, with Chongqing tourists accounting for 75%. In November 2023, the 'Mingyue Mountain West Slope Tourism Loop' was completed, connecting multiple scenic areas and facilitating visitors from Sichuan and Chongqing. Visitor Ding Xianrong, who purchased an annual pass, praised the scenic environment as suitable for outdoor enthusiasts.

Linshui County and neighboring counties in Chongqing collaborate to build a 'special economic zone' model, sharing tourist resources and jointly developing projects. The Zongge Mountain Resort continues to cultivate itself as a leisure tourism destination for Sichuan and Chongqing, hosting events such as poetry gatherings and lantern festivals, planning to develop a health and wellness industry, and striving to create a 4A-level scenic area.

Zuo Yihei, Director of the Linshui County Bureau of Culture, Radio, Television, and Tourism, stated that since the issuance of the joint plan by Sichuan and Chongqing in 2021, Linshui County has focused on the construction of the Chengdu-Chongqing twin economic circle, strengthened regional cooperation, and strives to build a vital node in the Bashu Cultural Tourism Corridor. The Zongge Mountain Resort enriches the tourist experience, drives the collaborative development of industries, and fully constructs an integrated cultural and tourism business format spanning the entire region and chain.
