It has long been heard that Nanxiong City, Shaoguan, Guangdong Province has famous historical sites such as Zhuji Gu Xiang, Meiguan Ancient Road, Sanying Ancient Pagoda and dinosaur fossils. When we travel to Nanxiong, there will be gains in all seasons, such as melting nature in spring, drifting in summer, enjoying yellow leaves (ginkgo biloba) in autumn and watching snow in winter. Just after New Year's Day, we came to Nanxiong and interviewed Huang Zhixing, director of Nanxiong Tourism Bureau.

Nanxiong is located at the southern foot of Dayu Mountain in the northeast of Guangdong Province, adjacent to Dayu County and Xinfeng County in Jiangxi Province, and is known as the "head of the five mountains" in history. It is an important county capital of ancient Lingnan in politics, economy and culture. It has always been the traffic artery and trade center on the border between Guangdong and Jiangxi, and was called "Little Yangzhou" in ancient times. Surrounded by mountains and hilly plains in the middle of the territory, it is called "Nanxiong Basin" and is the hometown of ancient dinosaur diseases.

Nanxiong is rich in products, outstanding people, magnificent mountains and rivers and beautiful scenery. There are abundant tourism resources, especially many cultural relics and historic sites, and 34 sites have been listed as cultural relics protection units, including national 1 and provincial 5 sites. Nanxiong has many existing and developed landscapes, which are well known to the outside world. Especially the ancient fossils such as Zhuji Gu Xiang, Meiguan Ancient Road, Sanying Ancient Pagoda and dinosaurs, the ancient ginkgo group "Nanxiong Five Ancient" has a long-standing reputation at home and abroad. The Xintian ancient village in Wujing, which is being excavated and developed, has high humanistic value and is the forerunner of Nanxiong's "rural tour".

The famous Zhuji Gu Xiang is a residential area formed along Gumeiguan Road since the Tang Dynasty. Gu Xiang in Zhuji is a transit point for ancient Zhongyuan people and Zhongyuan culture to spread to Lingnan, the birthplace of ancestors in the Pearl River Delta, and the intersection of Guangfu culture and Hakka culture. There is a relatively complete Gu Xiang relic, with a length of 1 1,500m and a street width of 5m. It is paved with cobblestones and flanked by earth buildings-traditional houses, ancestral temples and workshops. In the Qing Dynasty, there were three gatehouses in the north, the middle and the south, among which stood the "Guifei Tower" in the Yuan Dynasty. Ancient banyan trees, green willows, ponds, ancient bridges and gardens complement each other. Xiangqu Daxiong Temple, Nanqian Museum, Hu Fei Memorial Hall, Luogui Memorial Hall, Zhang Chang's former residence, ancestral halls of various surnames, etc. All kinds of buildings are spectacular. Gu Xiang, Zhuji, was rated as "the most beautiful place in Guangdong", "the most beautiful block in Guangdong" and "the most beautiful village in Guangdong", and was known as "the first lane in Guangdong" and "a famous town in the world".

The well-known Meiguan Ancient Road, also known as Yuling Ancient Post Road, spans Guangdong and Jiangxi provinces. The Guanlou on the ancient road is known as "the first pass in Lingnan" and "the Xiongguan Pass in South Guangdong". Since Zhang Jiuling, a famous minister in the Tang Dynasty, ordered the excavation of the post road, it became the main road from Lingnan to the Central Plains, and was called "the first expressway in ancient Guangdong". In ancient times, it was the shortest road connecting the Yangtze River and the Pearl River, became the connecting line between the world Maritime Silk Road and the land Silk Road, and was also the connecting point between China's marine culture and inland culture. The well-preserved ancient road is located on the north and south slopes of Meiling, with a total length of 8 kilometers. On both sides of the ancient road, pines and cypresses are green, merlin dances, azaleas are everywhere, and flowing water gurgles. There are also historical relics, such as Laiyan Pavilion, Lady Temple, Guajiao Temple, Liuzu Temple, Poetry Monument, Guanlou and so on. The landscapes such as Champion Tree, Dongpo Tree and Plum Blossom are full of legends. Based on the humanistic and historical value of Meiguan Ancient Road, Guangdong Pearl River Culture Research Association plans to declare it as a "world cultural heritage".

Meiling has been called "Mei" since ancient times. At present, there are many varieties such as Hongmei, Bai Mei, Chimonanthus praecox, Prunus mume and Pearl Plum, reaching more than 1.3 million. There are thousands of Yongmei poems written by Lu Kai, Song, Wen Tianxiang, Su Dongpo and other literati, which can be described as "plum blossoms are fragrant all the way". Every winter, the ancient road is wrapped in silver, the cold plums are in full bloom, and tourists are in an endless stream.

Nanxiong is still a red land with a glorious and long history of revolutionary struggle. It is one of the key old counties (cities) in Guangdong Province, where the Red Army of Workers and Peasants passed through the Long March. From the period of the new democratic revolution to the liberation of Nanxiong in September 1949, Nanxiong always kept the red flag. Especially during the Second Revolutionary Civil War, Nanxiong belonged to the Central Soviet Area. 1July, 932, Zhu De, Wang Jiaxiang, Peng and Nie led and commanded the famous "Shuikou Campaign" here; Xiang Ying and Chen Yi led the guerrilla war in Guangdong and Jiangxi for three years. Marshal Chen Yi left a glorious poem meiling three chapters here. Therefore, the older generation of revolutionaries left Nanxiong with extremely rich red tourism resources, such as Nanxiong Revolutionary History Museum, Shuikou Battle Memorial Park, and You Shan Three-year Guerrilla War Memorial Area. They are the first choice base for teenagers to carry out patriotism education and revolutionary tradition education.

At the end of the interview, Director Huang sent a warm invitation to everyone. He said, "Nanxiong, which has the Millennium development opportunity, is a dynamic Nanxiong, a green Nanxiong, a cultural Nanxiong and a harmonious Nanxiong. We warmly welcome friends from all walks of life to come to seek roots and visit. "
