Sun Hongmei, Vice Chairman of the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, introduced at a series of press conferences on the theme of "Promoting High-Quality Development" held by the State Council Information Office today that Altay is a microcosm of Xinjiang with its beautiful natural scenery and rich ethnic customs.
Looking at the whole of Xinjiang, the natural landscape here is unique, with unique charm of snow-capped mountains and Gobi deserts, forests and grasslands, rivers, lakes and deserts; it has a profound historical heritage, with the four major civilizations of ancient India, Greco-Roman, Persia, Han and Tang Dynasty meeting here, the ancient city of Loulan and the ancient Jiaohe River. The ancient city of Gaochang, the Kizil Grottoes, and the ruins of Subashi Buddhist Temple are world-famous; here multi-ethnic cultures blend together, and cultural treasures such as Uyghur Muqam, Manas, Aytes, and Jianggar shine brightly.
Sun Hongmei said that Xinjiang is moving from a large tourism resource area to a strong tourism economic area, making tourism a pillar industry that revitalizes Xinjiang and enriches its people.
Deepen the integration of culture and tourism. Xinjiang is accelerating the construction of the Western Region Duhufu Site Group Archaeological Site Park and the Beiting Ancient City Archaeological Site Park, building high-quality tourist attractions based on world-class cultural heritage such as the Kizil Grottoes and Subash Buddhist Temple, while promoting intangible Cultural heritage and tourism are deeply integrated.

Create a high-level tourism brand gathering area. Xinjiang will create top domestic self-driving tourist routes by improving the quality of special scenic roads and tourist attractions such as Duku Highway, 219 National Highway, Yizhao Highway, and Ahe Highway. At the same time, it will play a leading role in world heritage and national 5A-level scenic spots to build a world-class Vacation destination.
Cultivate distinctive tourism formats.

At the same time, we will also vigorously develop special tourism such as adventure tours, study tours, health tours, desert tours, and low-altitude tours, innovate and develop ethnic folk customs tourism, and develop products such as border tourism and cross-border tourism.
