Recently, the government of Nanyang City, Henan Province, signed a strategic cooperation agreement with Changzhou Dinosaur Park Group to create a dinosaur themed immersive park in Nanyang. In the Yangtze River Delta, everyone is familiar with Changzhou Dinosaur Park. Changzhou, which has never unearthed a single dinosaur fossil, developed a dinosaur IP in 1997 based on several dinosaur bone fossils retrieved from the underground warehouse of the Geological and Mineral Museum. After the opening of the China Dinosaur Park in 2000, it has attracted over 120 million visitors. This year's Dragon Boat Festival, the tourist flow and revenue of various attractions under the Dinosaur Park Group exceeded the same period in 2019, with more than half of them coming from outside the province. Changzhou, which has the "City of Dinosaurs" urban brand, still feels that it is not enough and needs to promote its dinosaurs nationwide. Unlike Changzhou, Nanyang has a ready-made "dinosaur IP". There is already the Xixia Dinosaur Relics Park in the area, and cooperation with Changzhou Dinosaur Park aims to strengthen the local "dinosaur culture" as a cultural and tourism hub. Last year, Changzhou Dinosaur Park had already gone to Henan to create a new cultural and tourism product, Dinosaur Man Happy World, in Zhoukou City, positioned as a parent-child exploration park.

The going out of Changzhou Dinosaur Park is related to the transformation of its affiliated Dinosaur Park Cultural Tourism Group Co., Ltd. Ten years ago, the tourism real estate market was hot, and theme parks gradually became a competitive red sea. Shen Bo, Chairman and CEO of Dinosaur Park Group, proposed that Dinosaur Park should "escape" theme parks. Escaping is not giving up, but transforming from a single theme park development and operation operator to a cultural tourism industry investment and service operator. Simply put, it means not only doing a good job in the dinosaur park itself, but also exporting the brand, creativity, planning, implementation, operation and other services of the Chinese Dinosaur Park to the outside world, breaking the traditional scenic area model of relying solely on "tickets, room tickets, and meal tickets", and achieving diversified development. At present, Dinosaur Park Group has implemented over 300 cultural and tourism cooperation projects in the Yangtze River Delta region, as well as in Henan, Hainan, Gansu, Shandong and other places.

While Changzhou is exporting dinosaurs, it is also continuously exporting experience in product planning, planning and design, project implementation, and operational management, and conducting project practices in Suqian, Jiangsu, Lianyungang, Shaoxing, Zhejiang, and other areas. On April 22nd this year, the Dahuaguo Mountain · Yuwan Happy City, jointly built by Dinosaur Park Group, opened in Lianyungang. Tang Hualiang, Co President of Dinosaur Park Group, stated that the Lianyungang amusement park has attracted merchants, including the flagship store of Journey to the West, to settle in, connecting the Huaguo Mountain with the natural scenery on the mountain and the commercial and parent-child projects below. In Suqian, Zaohe Longyun City is located at a bend of the Beijing Hangzhou Grand Canal. Chen Hui, Vice President of Dinosaur Park Group, introduced that on the one hand, the project fully explores the historical and cultural stories of Suqian, combining the architectural style of the ancient town with the expression techniques of theme parks, restoring the bustling commercial landscape of the past. On the other hand, combining the profound cultural heritage of Zaohe, a series of immersive experience projects are planned.

According to statistics, China has become the world's largest theme park market, with approximately 3000 theme parks, among which large and super large theme parks still have room for growth. The joy and foot traffic that theme parks bring to cities, although it is difficult to generate much GDP or tax revenue at once, their role in driving regional development and empowering and enhancing urban brands cannot be underestimated. Taking Changzhou Dinosaur Park as an example, the local housing market used to have a dedicated "Dinosaur Park section". Tang Hualiang often hears people talk about business trips in other places. When local friends talk about Changzhou, their first reaction is the Dinosaur Park, which is the spillover dividend and return of the cultural and tourism industry and the city's joint growth for many years.

In recent years, with the departure of dinosaurs from Changzhou, many cultural and tourism IPs in the Yangtze River Delta, including Wuzhen in Zhejiang and Nianhua Bay in Jiangsu, have been building cultural and tourism projects in different places, hoping to replicate their successful experiences and models. Many projects seem to be very popular. It looks beautiful, but some industry insiders have analyzed that the model of dinosaur parks may not be replicable. One of the reasons is that building theme parks or large-scale cultural and tourism projects now requires a large investment and a long return period. Without billions of yuan of investment, it is basically impossible to become a model.

In recent years, many amusement parks in the Yangtze River Delta have been invested or opened. Recently, the theme park market has shown strong recovery momentum, but at the same time, investment should be more rational and cautious. Regarding this, Tang Hualiang stated that in order to build a theme park, first of all, we cannot be greedy for perfection and should not blindly invest. It is not advisable to install any equipment; Secondly, we should pay attention to the creation of cultural themes. Although tourists only see the surface image of the park and experience the stimulation of amusement equipment, it is easy to be replaced, and it is not the core competitiveness of the park. Its internal story line and cultural connotation are the real reasons to attract tourists. Disneyland, Universal Studios and other world-famous theme parks are no exception. All of them want to let tourists enter the park is to enter a "world" different from the real world; Thirdly, the healthy and long-term development of the amusement park must attach importance to the cultivation of operation and management talents, otherwise it is difficult to escape the development cycle of "one year prosperity, two years prosperity, three years decline, and four years failure".

In addition, packaging rich regional culture into theme parks and other cultural and tourism products to form urban brand symbols, and creating unique IPs tailored to local conditions can truly become a cultural and tourism project that can withstand the test of time and have a soul.

During the summer vacation, various theme parks, fairy tale towns, and other places are bustling with people. In contrast, Wuyi County in Jinhua City, Zhejiang Province, which is striving to build a "hometown of fairy tales", appears somewhat desolate. This mountainous county was famous for its hot springs in the early years, and in recent years, it has proposed the "Fairy Tale Wuyi" urban brand, planning to create a highland for Chinese fairy tale culture and creativity. To this end, Wuyi established a specialized working organization called "Fairy Tale Office" and held 8 "Fairy Tale Congresses". However, the results were somewhat less than expected. The counterattack of mountainous counties is deeply related to the concept of fairy tales and children's literature in Wuyi. "Wuyi's fairy tales, aside from their historical origins, first have soup and then concepts," Wang Xiaoling, Executive Deputy Director of Wuyi County Fairy Tale Office, explained to reporters. Tang Tang is the Vice Chairman of Zhejiang Writers Association and a well-known children's literature writer in China. Tang Tang has mentioned multiple times that since childhood, she has

When it comes to bad fish, people in Jiangnan understand it, but when it comes to bad fish, many people are confused. In fact, both "zao" and "gui" refer to the method of marinating fish and vegetables with seasonings. "鲊" initially only referred to the pickling of fish, and as they were pickled, they became something that could be pickled by all things. When marinating fish, use rice and salt as seasoning. When making rice, either by pressing it with a stone or twisting it inside a cloth, it is done to remove moisture and add flavor, hence the word "rice". Wrapped in a lotus leaf, it is highly favored by famous scholars. In the summer of the third year of the Changqing reign of the Tang Dynasty, with the sound of cicadas singing in the fields of lotus leaves, Yuan Zhen went to Yuezhou and passed by Hangzhou on the way. Bai Juyi held a boat banquet on West Lake to welcome his friends and enjoy the scenery of the lake and mountains. The table was filled with delicious dishes, including lotus fish buns and lotus leaf wrapped buns. Lotus room fish buns are made by taking fresh lotus seeds, digging them out one by one, filling them with small fish balls, and steaming them until cooked. The freshness of the fish meat is accompanied by the freshness of the lotus seeds
