Miyun mining interest in green tourism

Beijing's Miyun county, the place that supplies much of the capital with its drinking water, is hoping to make the most of its natural landscape of lakes and mountains and develop into a tourist getaway.

The transformation has already begun and a recently opened recreation vehicle (RV) campground in Henanzhai township was busy during the National Day holiday.

With a total investment of 10 billion yuan, Miyun plans to travel further down that road and build the country's largest RV campsite, where it will offer holidaymakers low-carbon and low-pollution tourism, according to Guo Lixin, director of the Miyun Tourism Bureau.
