The Lancang River, the source of the Sanjiang River, originated from the roof of the world, is the seventh longest river in the world, the third longest river in Asia and the first longest river in Southeast Asia. The part that extends 2,139 kilometers in China is called the "Lancang River". After entering the Indochina Peninsula, it is called the "Mekong River" and finally flows from Annan into the South China Sea waters of China!

This river has nurtured millions of children of all ethnic groups in China on both sides of the Taiwan Strait. These basins that did not attract the attention of the outside world in ancient times due to inconvenient transportation have now become hot spots for hydraulic resource development, tourism development and mineral development, and have shouldered the important task of revitalizing the economy of southern Yunnan Province.

Not to mention anything else, just take "Ginkgo City" as an example. The Lancang River runs through the core area of ​​"Ginkgo City" like an aorta, playing a crucial role in regional economic development.

The Lancang River provides sufficient water sources for the agricultural production, food processing and water use of "Ginkgo City". Over the years, the economy of "Ginkgo City" has made great breakthroughs, and the lack of water is a very important reason.

At the same time, the beautiful scenery on both sides of the Lancang River also gives the tourism industry of "Ginkgo City" more elements to attract tourists and promotes the development of the tourism industry.

In short, if the "Ginkgo Village" is the core area of ​​the entire "Ginkgo City", the Lancang River is the main artery of the "Ginkgo City", and its rise and fall will determine the future development space of the entire "Ginkgo City".

To this end, when the "Ginkgo New District" was established, the first important topic of the local government was to invite academicians from the National Academy of Social Sciences and economic experts and technical experts from Peking University, Shuimu University, Donghai University and other fields to conduct a comprehensive analysis of the Lancang River in the "Ginkgo City", determine the development model and direction, and provide sufficient theoretical knowledge and technical support for later construction.

It is also thanks to the newly established "Ginkgo New District" with the endorsement of the imperial government and the support of a wealthy enterprise like Jinghu Group, behind it, this research report and feasibility analysis can be completed in just three years and entered the implementation stage!

In early 2014, the "Ginkgo New Area" launched a comprehensive exploration of the "Lancang River" section in the territory, and began to initially determine the construction location of the river dam at a location 30 kilometers downstream of the "Ginkgo Village". A huge project with a total investment of more than US$20 billion has entered a critical stage. In fact, in the 1990s, southern Yunnan Province and the Ministry of Water Resources of the State had launched a comprehensive survey of the upstream and downstream areas of the Lancang River, and initially established the construction locations of some river dams.

Because the "Lancang River" is an international river, the development of the upstream will have a huge impact on the water volume and ecology of the downstream. Therefore, when the decision to build a river dam in the "Ginkgo New Area" was made, it immediately caused rebound and protests from several downstream countries, and since then it fell into a long dispute.

In order to gain understanding and recognition from downstream countries, the Huaxia Empire government, the "Ginkgo New Area" and the "Jinghu Group" paid a lot of money, which cleared all obstacles to the construction of the river dam.

After all, in the past 30 years, Huaxia has built many hydropower development hubs including Manwan Hydropower Station in the middle and lower reaches of the Lancang River, and has planned 25 cascade hydropower development hubs, with an estimated annual power generation of more than 130 billion kilowatt-hours!

The hydropower development in the jurisdiction of Ginkgo City has always been placed in the back lane due to the dangerous terrain, rapid water flow and extremely difficult construction technology. However, with the support of the huge financial resources of Jinghu Group, the progress of all work has been accelerated. This project has been regarded as a key project by the 14th Bureau of Hydropower and Gezhouba Group.

In the spring of 2015, the construction project department of the "Ginkgo Water Conservancy Hub" was officially established. The investment entities include private enterprises such as "Jinghu Group", "Qianxin Group" and "Xinxin Group", as well as national key enterprises such as Huaneng Group and the 14th Hydropower Bureau Bureau. It can be said that they need funds and technology. In addition, the importance of "Ginkgo City" in the mind of the central government of the empire, the progress of the project can only be described as "a thousand miles a day"!

In recent years, Xiao Feng has not paid much attention to the construction of the "Ginkgo Water Conservancy Hub". However, according to sporadic media reports and project progress reports within the group, this project has created many records in the history of world hydropower development.

Although the "Ginkgo Water Conservancy Hub" cannot be compared with a behemoth like the Three Gorges Project, construction in an alpine canyon with an altitude of more than 2,000 meters and a river dam with a dam height of more than 400 meters is a great test for any construction and design unit.

Before the "Ginkgo Water Conservancy Hub", the Xiaowan Hydropower Station, also located above the Lancang River, created the world's highest dam of 294 meters, which has been recognized by world peers as a "world miracle". After the design plan of the "Ginkgo Water Conservancy Hub" was released, it even more amazing to everyone.

It took only 8 years for the start of construction of Xiaowan Hydropower Station to be connected to the grid to generate power from all six generator sets, creating many miracles in the history of world hydropower construction. Huaneng Group, which has accumulated more experience, has achieved even more jaw-dropping glory with the support of sufficient funds and advanced technology.

…………

Nowadays, the "Ginkgo Water Conservancy Hub" that has begun to be connected to the grid to generate electricity not only can provide more than 50 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity to the China Power Grid every year, but also provides new attractions for the tourism development of "Ginkgo City".

It is precisely because "Jinghu Group" owns 25% of the shares in "Ginkgo Water Conservancy Hub" that the outside world's asset appraisal of "Jinghu Group" and "Xiao Family" has been upgraded to a new level. After all, this is a continuous stream of cash cows.

According to conservative data, the "Jinghu Group" can receive no less than US$300 million in dividends from the "Ginkgo Water Conservancy Hub" every year, and this number will gradually increase as the cost of the hydropower station recovers.

The 30-kilometer river section from the "Ginkgo Water Conservancy Hub" to the "Ginkgo Village" has formed a huge reservoir with a water surface area of ​​150 square kilometers and a storage capacity of 40 billion cubic meters due to the completion of the river dam. This is much higher than the capacity of the Three Gorges.

‘Green gorges out of flat lake’ has become a reality, which gives residents along the coast more possibilities to improve their lives. Because the water flow in the reservoir is smooth, it is very suitable for tourism projects such as farm stays. In addition, sufficient water entertainment projects have made the entire reservoir area a new star in the tourism industry of ‘Ginkgo City’.

Xiao Feng took Li Yunhai, Dong Mengzhu and others to walk in the landscape belt along the Lancang River. A few years ago, there was an abyss with a drop of hundreds of meters. The water flowed rapidly, but now it has become a gentle river surface, and it is within reach.

Along the river bank, you can see some viewing pavilions and fishing spots from time to time. This is specially prepared by the "Ginkgo City" for citizens and fishing enthusiasts and is very popular with everyone.

Since the successful interception of the river dam, the Ginkgo City government has begun to put a large number of fish fry and even adult fish into the reservoir, and has completely banned electric fish, poisonous fish and extinction fishing throughout the city, making the entire Ginkgo Reservoir a fish paradise.

As a fan of rare animals, Xiao Feng even introduced large aquatic animals such as pufferfish and river porpoises into the "Ginkgo Reservoir" through various means. These aquatic elves have now become one of the symbols of the "Ginkgo Reservoir".

The two dragon carp that originally lived in "Jinghu" were also transferred to the "Ginkgo Reservoir" by Xiao Feng. They have been symbols of the scenic spot since the opening of "Jinghu Scenic Area", and now they have grown into the label of "Ginkgo City" and have countless fans.

There are two swimming fishes on the badge of the "Ginkgo University School of Medicine" that form the "Tai Chi pattern". Their prototype is these two dragon carp, which shows the popularity and influence of the dragon carp.

Over the years, dragon carp has also given birth to many descendants. "Jinghu" is their paradise for life. Many tourists are proud of being able to take pictures of dragon carp coming out of the water, especially those students who are about to face a big test, who have placed many good wishes on these dragon carp symbolizing the beauty.

For this reason, a small temple next to the Jinghu Lake is in full bloom. Almost every day, people come to pray and some come to fulfill their wishes. For the sake of respecting folk customs, the Ginkgo City government not only did not ban this small temple, but also standardized it, which became a good story.

In fact, the attraction of the "Jinghu Scenic Area" to tourists is not due to the high-end publicity, but in many warm details, the concept of "people-oriented" has long been deeply rooted in the bones.

Although the reservoir has only been built for three or four years, this reservoir has become a fishing destination that many fishing enthusiasts dream of, because it can not only harvest various fishing catches, but also enjoy the beautiful scenery.

In the past few years, Xiao Feng has lived in the "Ginkgo Village". Whenever he has free time, he will put a large number of "space spiritual springs" into the reservoir. Although some of these spiritual springs will flow to the downstream areas, the spiritual energy content of the "Ginkgo Reservoir" is rising straight.

Under the nourishment of the "Space Spirit Spring", the fishing catches of the "Ginkgo Reservoir" not only grow very fast, but also have an amazing taste. They have even become one of the food labels of the "Ginkgo City".

Because the Ginkgo Reservoir prohibits fishing by electric fish, poisonous fish and extinction fishing, tourists and local residents can only obtain these delicacies through fishing, cormorant fishing and small net fishing, which makes the Ginkgo Fishing Catch more famous. After all, "scarcity is precious"!

While walking, Xiao Feng introduced the various details of "Ginkgo City" using "Ginkgo Reservoir" to the two VIPs, and the two leaders couldn't help but nod.

In fact, "making full use of local advantages for economic development" has always been a slogan from all over the country, but not many can be truly implemented. For example, "Ginkgo City", which can withstand the temptation of rapid profits and adhere to a long-term business method, is not something that everyone can do.

In some places, once water surface area such as reservoirs are available, large-scale contracting of water surfaces for individuals and enterprises for large-scale cage feeding has always been the fastest way to make money and the best way to improve GDP.

However, once this method is adopted, the release of large amounts of feed will cause nutrient enrichment in the water body, which will eventually lead to serious water pollution, but in the end it will be more cost-effective.

"Ginkgo City" can withstand the temptation of short-term interests and put the sustainable development and environmental protection of "Ginkgo Reservoir" first. This may be the important reason why "Ginkgo City" can become the "world's most livable city" in just a few years, right?

In addition to opening fishing for free to tourists and residents, the Ginkgo Reservoir has also set up various water parks in different areas. The Ginkgo Disneyland has some water parks, which undoubtedly gives tourists more fun. Visitors can participate in various amusement projects in the water park, and even exciting games such as motorboats and water skiing, which are even loved by young people.

Compared with other scenic spots, the "Jinghu Scenic Area" is like a vibrant young man. Every year, there are various new toys and amusement projects that bring freshness to tourists.

According to the survey report of Jinghu Company, in the past 10 years, more than 30% of tourists have come to Jinghu Scenic Area at least three times, and many tourists even report here every year. The tourists who come to Jinghu Scenic Area twice account for at least half of all tourists. The increase in repeat tourists means that Jinghu Scenic Area is not a lifeless place. The continuous addition of amusement projects and developed attractions have allowed tourists to always maintain their longing and mysterious sense of the scenic area, which is only crucial.

For everyone, delicacies and seafood are good, but you will get tired of eating every meal, and the same is true for travel. If the scenic spots are the same and last ten years, no matter how good the food is, it will be useless.

Just following Xiao Feng on the bank of the Lancang River for a while, listening to Xiao Feng and the officials of "Ginkgo City" introducing the development and transformation of the scenic spots in the past two years, Dong Mengzhu and Li Yunhai clearly saw the development trajectory of the "Jinghu Scenic Area", which is a sustainable development path.

Compared with other local governments and development companies' eagerness for their jurisdictions, the "Ginkgo Municipal Government" and "Jinghu Group" have a long-term vision. Each project is "environmental protection first". After creating a good reputation, then consider the issue of profit. This approach has achieved better results.

Dong Mengzhu decided to stay in "Ginkgo City" for two more days to understand the development plan and various details of "Jinghu Scenic Area". Perhaps it can provide more thoughts for the Chinese tourism industry.

You should know that the tourism industry has become an important pillar industry in China today. The increase in people's income has promoted the development of the tourism market. How to maintain a better trend in rapid development is a problem that tourist attractions across the country need to face together.
