Furong street and Qu Shui Ting Street in Ji'nan are bustling with other tourists.
Holiday of the national day, there are many tourists from the old city of Daming Lake, Baotu Spring, and five Longtan scenic spots, but there are not many ancient streets in the old city, and the tourists are mostly concentrated in the Qu Shui Ting Street and the hibiscus street. According to the analysis of the industry, this phenomenon is due to the fact that the old streets and alleys are scattered, some infrastructure facilities are not in place, and tourism development is immature.
old streets and alleys hot and cold days
in the morning of October 5th, there is an endless stream of tourists from Qu Shui Ting Street, where many folk culture and artistes are active. Mr. Wang, a tourist from Tianjin, said that after visiting the "first spring in the world", it would be a pleasant surprise to enter this small street unintentionally.
the hibiscus street, which is not far away from the street of Qu Shui Ting Street, is as always as a visitor. But Ms. Wang, who traveled to Ji'nan, thinks that there is hardly a look at the old street in Ji'nan. "It's all a snack stall, a hotel, a bustling bustle, but the environment is a little bad."
the reporter noticed that in addition to these two streets and alley, there are some other old street lanes with spring features, although there are historical and allusions, but there are few tourists, and there are only some old streets in the open alleys.
Ka Wah brigade customer service personnel said that there is no special Old Street Lane tour. Zhang Tongbo, general manager of Tourism National Tourism in Shandong, said that their travel agencies mainly use the leisure time between Baotu Spring and Daming Lake to visit old street lanes. "It is about 1.5 hours, from the black tiger spring and the moat through the square of Heng Long, the sightseeing and the Furong street, the Phoenix Bridge Street and the Qu Shui Ting Street."
attractions scattered little attraction.
scattered spots are the main reason why the old streets and alleys are not hot. "The main tour of the old street lane is the historical and cultural background and the spring water features, but on the whole, the scenic spots of the old street are scattered with respect to the Baotu Spring, Daming Lake and the old street lane, and the time of sightseeing is long and is not suitable for the tour group." Zhang Tongbo believes that this is more appropriate for self driving tourists.
"one of the most important features of the old streets is to find a spring, but for many tourists, after seeing the Baotu Spring and the black tiger spring, the ornamentals of these small springs in the streets and lanes are a little worse and less attractive." Zhang Tongbo said, these factors also led to the Old Street Lane tourism can not become Ji'nan's "fourth places".
another important reason for restricting the tourism of old streets is the environmental problem. Zhang Xiaoguo, general manager of Ji'nan's Guoxin travel agency, believes that the Old Street Lane needs further efforts in environmental hygiene. "Many old streets and alleys are mixed with people, the environment is noisy, the sanitation of snack stands and family hotels can not be guaranteed." Zhang Tongbo said that old streets and alleys are distinctive, but the environment and sanitation can not be solved.
