On Jan. 30, a dedicated train carried a group of visitors from Xi'an, capital of northwest China's Shaanxi Province, to Zhashui county in Shangluo city of Shaanxi, marking the start of a wonderful customized group tour jointly organized by the Shangluo municipal government and China Railway Xi'an Group Co., Ltd.

During the tour, visitors went to a filial piety-themed cultural park in Yingpan township, where they visited a filial piety-themed fair of cultural and creative products as well as a cultural block, and enjoyed performances about filial piety, gaining a deep understanding of the county’s long history and profound culture.

They also visited a scenic area in Xialiang township. The spectacular mountain views and several featured attractions and activities in the area, including karst cave and extreme sports, left a deep impression on the visitors.

Zhashui county is one of the demonstration counties for the development of "all-for-one" tourism in China. It has been working hard to consolidate its achievements in promoting the integration of tourism and other industries.

Last year, the county built 26 key tourism-related projects, added 47 projects in the health care industry to its management system, and invested 4.46 billion yuan ($664 million) in fixed-asset projects.

During the Spring Festival holiday this year, tourist attractions in Zhashui county received a total of 155,500 visitors, representing 63 percent of that in the same period in 2019.

The robust recovery of the tourism industry in Zhashui county is a shining example of the development of tourism in Shangluo City.

In recent years, Shangluo has intensified efforts to develop itself into a national demonstration city for "all-for-one" tourism. It has made great efforts to promote health care projects, and sought to boost the development of the tourism industry by launching customized tourism services, such as special tourist trains.

A large number of counties and districts in the city have benefited from the efforts, such as Zhashui county, Zhen'an county, Shangzhou district, Danfeng county, and Shangnan county.
