Zhoushan to promote city's culture to tourists

Updated : 2018-08-15

Zhoushan has recently carried out a project of promoting the city's cultural elements in all its scenic spots, in order to highlight its unique culture to tourists. 

Specifically, they will explore and promote the historical stories of each scenic spot, develop relevant cultural products, and organize special cultural activities, so to get tourists to know more about the city's unique culture.

Zhoushan, an island city in northeast Zhejiang province, boasts a long history that can be traced back to the Neolithic Age over 5,000 years ago, and has developed a profound culture over its long existence. 

Ancient Chinese scholars wrote a lot of poems about the city, and modern scholars and artists have also created calligraphy works in tribute to its beautiful scenery and local charms. 

The city's tourism committee will select and inscribe some of the calligraphy works on stones and put them in the scenic spots. 

A series of culture-focused traveling routes are also under development to provide tourists with more authentic experiences, such as tours to explore the ancient culture in Dinghai and the Buddhist culture in Putuo.
