"I like the pure green color of the Huangguoshu scenic spot, but I think it would be more beautiful if the area can have more flowers. Different flowers can add color to the whole Huangguoshu area. The colorful Huangguoshu will surely give tourists unforgettable experiences," Ye added.

Shang Chuan, a show presenter of CCTV, recalls his unforgettable Anshun tour with his wife. "My wife fell in love with Anshun’s fermented chili since our Anshun trip years ago. So in my experience, the beautiful scenery can not only impress people, but its ethnic culture and local food can also give tourists precious memories."

In his point of view, considering the competitive tourism markets, attracting tourist attention to Anshun is never an easy job. Anshun has its distinctive ethnic cultures, which is the key to attracting tourists. Anshun shall focus on developing ethnic culture and cultural relevant activities and products.

Zhaxi Liu, an expert in folk culture, said: "I spent seven years in Anshun and I know it very well, especially Anshun’s Tunpu culture. Talking about developing Anshun's tourism further, I think, most importantly, it has to develop 'Anshun-Made' experiences for tourists."
