Dujiangyan in Sichuan province wants to use its relics, pandas, Taoist history and mountains to turn itself into an international tourist destination, local authorities said.
Bailu, which took longer than other quake-hit towns and cities in Sichuan province to recover, was careful to rebuild in a way that would make it both more modern and more attractive to outside tourism and investments.
Stroll along a fancy lane, stop by a bistro, pour yourself a glass of Champagne and bathe in the sunshine. This is how you will soon spend a day in Bailu town.
Bailu, a township severely damaged by the 8.0 earthquake that struck Sichuan province on May 12, 2008, is at work building itself into a tourism destination with a French touch, 100 years after a French missionary built a Catholic church in the town.
An earthquake shattered the lives of the villagers, but in the aftermath of rebuilding, traditional paintings have helped them pick up the pieces.
Sichuan province has endeavored to rejuvenate its tourism industry shaken by the earthquake last year.
