Recently, the popularity of the TV series "My Altay" has made Altay a poem and a distant place that many people yearn for.
On May 21, the State Council Information Office held a series of press conferences with the theme of "Promoting High-Quality Development", focusing on "solidly advancing the practice of Chinese-style modernization in Xinjiang with new results in high-quality development". Sun Hongmei, Vice Chairman of the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, mentioned the TV series "My Altay" at the press conference. "I understand that the reason why this TV series touches and attracts the audience is Xinjiang's beautiful natural scenery, rich ethnic customs, and multi-ethnic exchanges and integration. Altay is a microcosm of Xinjiang."

Sun Hongmei introduced that Xinjiang has world-class cultural tourism resources. The natural landscape here is unique, and the snow-capped mountains and Gobi, forest grasslands, rivers, lakes and deserts are unique. It has a profound historical heritage and four major civilizations meet here, such as Loulan Ancient City, Jiaohe Ancient City, Gaochang The ancient city, Kizil Grottoes, and Subashi Buddhist Temple ruins are world-famous; here multi-ethnic cultures blend together, and Uyghur Muqam, Manas, Aytes, Jianggar and other cultural treasures shine brightly.
Sun Hongmei said that Xinjiang will be accelerated from a tourism resource area to a strong tourism economic area, and tourism will become a pillar industry that revitalizes Xinjiang and enriches its people.
First, deepen the integration of culture and tourism. Make full use of rich historical culture, red culture and other resources to create high-quality tourism products with rich cultural connotations and distinctive characteristics. Accelerate the construction of the Western Region Protectorate Site Group Archaeological Site Park and the Beiting Ancient City Archaeological Site Park, and build high-quality tourist attractions based on world-class cultural heritage sites such as the Kizil Grottoes and Subashi Buddhist Temple. To promote the in-depth integration of intangible cultural heritage and tourism, the Xinjiang Intangible Cultural Heritage Museum will be completed and opened this year.
The second is to create a high-level tourism brand gathering area. Strengthen the transformation and upgrading of tourist attractions, give full play to the leading role of world heritage sites and national 5a-level scenic spots, and build a world-class tourist destination. It is necessary to improve the quality of special scenic roads such as Duku Highway, G219, Yizhao Highway, and Ahe Highway to create top domestic self-driving tourist routes.
The third is to cultivate a characteristic tourism industry. Relying on the rich ice and snow resources in the Altai Mountains and Tianshan Mountains, we will promote the clustered development of the ice and snow industry and create a world-class ice and snow sports and ice and snow tourism destination. We must also vigorously develop special tourism such as adventure tours, study tours, health tours, desert tours, and low-altitude tours, innovate and develop ethnic and folk customs tourism, and develop border tourism, cross-border tourism and other products.
The fourth is to improve the quality of tourism services. Improve comprehensive service facilities in transportation, accommodation, catering, etc., accelerate the construction of smart tourism, promote the facilitation of inbound tourism, strengthen tourism market supervision, and create a "Smiling Xinjiang" service brand.
