Tourism gem emerging in Wulong

District is building itself into a popular destination with rich natural resources

Over the past three decades, Wulong, a formerly poverty-stricken mountain region in Chongqing, has undergone a face-lift through developing tourism and it now aims to attract more global guests to experience its unique landscape and rich culture.

"Tourism has been our pillar industry for 30 years. By 2035, Wulong will become a world famous tourist destination," He Qing, the district's Party chief, said recently.

"We will strictly adhere to the standards of world-class tourist attractions and enhance the international level of tourism products, marketing, facilities and services."
