From the later period of August to the mid September, the county government carried out a general survey of the local tourism resources. The survey results will be used to conduct an overall appraisal so as to better protect, develop, and tap into the local tourism resources, integrate tourism products, and further promote tourism in the county.  

The general survey collected and analyzed all the resources and research achievements meanwhile field studies were carried out on every single tourism resource by visiting, on-the-spot checking, testing, recording, map-making and photographing. The survey covered a compete range of things and factors that can attract visitors, that can be used for tourism development, or that can benefit the local economy, society and environment. The targets in the survey included geographic and cultural landscapes, astronomical and climate phenomena, sites of historical interests, buildings and facilities, tourist souvenirs and supplies, and human activities. The investigated items were divided into eight main categories, thirty-one subcategories and 155 basic types. Taking full advantages of existing tourism resources and research results, survey workers completed statistic data, filled out all the forms, compiled all the survey reports. Each survey target has a survey appraisal, and based on the assessment standards, each target is classified in terms of resource type, resource nature, protection range, and resource level. On the basis of the survey and the subsequent paper work, a general report on the county tourism resources, special reports on tourism resources, a map of tourism resources, a map of different tourism resources and a map of tourism districts were all prepared. These survey results have been converted into electronic files.
