The Lushan Xihai scenic area issued a bid solicitation announcement for the Hudao Island tourism development plan, attracting dozens of renowned tourism planning and design companies from home and abroad.

The Lushan Xihai scenic area has 1,667 islands of various shapes and boasts stunning human and natural landscapes. Hudao Island's tourism currently focuses on traditional tourist programs such as sightseeing, leaving vast tourist resources untapped.

Since the beginning of this year, given the improvement of local infrastructure and the increase in tourist capacity, the Lushan Xihai administrative commission created a new development plan for Hudao Island.

The new plan will attach more importance to participatory programs by integrating Zen Buddhist culture into the scenic area and further optimizing tourist routes.
