On March 26, Zhejiang Dafeng Industrial Co., Ltd. and the People's Government of Danjiangkou City, Hubei Province, signed a strategic cooperation agreement for cultural and tourism industry development in Yuyao, Zhejiang. Dafeng assisted the Danjiangkou Municipal Party Committee and Government in establishing a Cultural Tourism Industry Development Advisory Committee to jointly plan the development goals and overall strategy for Danjiangkou's cultural tourism industry over the next ten years. Both parties will improve top-level design and jointly establish three main entities: development and construction, operation and management, and smart tourism, fully leveraging Danjiangkou's unique cultural tourism resource advantages to enhance the city's cultural tourism industry development capabilities. Luo Yi, Deputy Mayor of Danjiangkou Municipal People's Government in Hubei, and Jin Dan, Deputy General Manager of Zhejiang Dafeng Industrial Co., Ltd., signed the agreement on behalf of both parties. Key leaders from both parties, including Liu Qinghai, member of the Standing Committee and Minister of Organization of the Danjiangkou Municipal Party Committee, and Feng Hua, Chairman of Dafeng, attended the signing ceremony.

Danjiangkou boasts three world-class brands: "Wudang Mountain, Danjiang Water, and Automobile City." It enjoys a pleasant ecological climate, rich cultural heritage, and a thriving tourism industry. It is the core water source area for the middle route of the South-to-North Water Diversion Project, a national civilized city, a national sanitary city, a national garden city, one of the top 100 happiest counties (cities) nationwide, and a Hubei provincial demonstration city for ecological civilization construction. Currently, it is seizing major opportunities such as the opening up of the Yangtze River Economic Belt, targeted poverty alleviation in the Qinba Mountain area, and the implementation of economic and social development plans for the Danjiangkou Reservoir area, focusing on building and developing local tourism resources to fully achieve high-quality, leapfrog development.

Minister LiuIt stated that Danjiangkou will earnestly implement the cooperation agreement, fully support Dafeng's development in Danjiangkou, and provide high-quality services for the construction and implementation of cooperative projects. He also hopes that both parties can further deepen exchanges and deepen understanding in subsequent coordination, expand broader cooperation space in urban landscape construction, cultural tourism integration, and scenic area development, and work together to create a better future.

Chairman Feng stated that this cooperation is another major event for Dafeng in the field of cultural, sports, and tourism empowerment. Dafeng will leverage its experience in major events such as the 70th National Day celebration, the centenary of the Party's founding, 24 consecutive years of CCTV Spring Festival Gala, major events like the Summer and Winter Olympics, World Cup, Asian Games, over a hundred high-quality tourism performances, as well as operational planning capabilities for 5A scenic spots, future communities, and rural revitalization, combined with digital art and scenic design, integrating digital art and scenic design, to bring together China's water capital — Danjiangkou. The goal is to build a "Danjiangkou of China" radiating nationwide from Central China to rival Zhejiang's Qiandao Lake. Dafeng will take this cooperation as an opportunity to build a bridge for resource sharing, market co-construction, and industrial prosperity, enhancing the city's functional quality and promoting rapid economic and social development, making Danjiangkou the "next Qiandao Lake."

It is understood that after forty years of development, Qiandao Lake has become the main tourism brand of Hangzhou, the leading brand of Zhejiang's tourism, a nationally renowned tourism brand, and a well-known global tourism brand. A total of 21 A-level scenic spots have been built, including 1 5A-level scenic city, 9 4A-level scenic towns, 4 3A-level towns, and 254 A-level villages, receiving nearly 20 million visitors annually and generating over 20 billion yuan in total annual tourism economic revenue. Despite fluctuations during the pandemic, it still achieved good results.
