languages, dual language signs and guides, foreign language web sites, conferences, cooperation with foreign tourist agencies and discounted special promotional packages. I am sure Hanzhong has already embarked on this effort. Western people are very interested in the environment. It is a great tourist attraction. Many people love to hike on mountain trails and through scenic areas and enjoy “adventure tourism”. These attractions exist in the Hanzhong region. The combination of culture and history with environment and adventure tourism provides Hanzhong with great advantage. Western people highly value conservation and preservation of the environment as a tourist attraction. I suggest that there are some things that can be done to improve their experience. For example, in the Qinling there are places with relatively difficult trails that reach unique scenes and environments. But they are threatened by growing levels of “white pollution” and rubbish. I am sure the Hanzhong government is well aware of this. Having organised rangers and site management can create employment for local people, preserve the environment and increase the number of people able to visit the attractions. In areas that are hard to manage, perhaps volunteers can visit to retrieve and re-cycle the “white pollution”. The added value to the tourist industry and improved sustainability of the sites will be well rewarded.
