April Flower Events In Chongqing: Freezing And Hot

Spring flowers are flickering under the haze of the haze.

Tulips, cherry blossoms, peach blossoms... Most of the flowers that bloom in the south in February and March have not yet waited for visitors to gather around, and the flowering season has arrived, and no alternative can be found.

The spring flower economy is undoubtedly the brightest card in spring tourism.

If we miss the golden week of the Spring Festival, do we have to miss the spring in domestic tourism?

According to the comprehensive calculation of the data center of China Tourism Research Institute (Ministry of culture and Tourism), the total number of domestic tourist reception during the Qingming holiday in 2020 Four thousand three hundred and twenty-five point four Ten thousand people, domestic tourist satisfaction index is Eighty-eight point eight At a historical high level. Before that, nearly 4000 scenic spots were re opened. In the spring, the Chongqing Garden Expo, which is mainly made up of flower appreciation tours, has become one of the five most popular tourist attractions in the country, second only to the Turtle Head Islet scenic spot in Taihu, Wuxi.

Affected by the outbreak of home to miss the flowering period, in recent years net red city Chongqing tourism development, is both a "danger" and "a machine".

Frozen florescence

"The world is full of fragrance in April."

In April 15th, because of the high temperature, cherry street trees on the streets of Chongqing had already fallen into full bloom, and the remaining flowers were still green.

A week ago, the botanical garden, known as Chongqing's "backyard" Nanshan, sent a message in the WeChat public address: the first batch of late flowering cherry blossoms were seen throughout April. In the background of pink petals, a line of words has attracted the attention of tourists and flower lovers: "the extension of florescence gives you exclusive and special love."

"Let the cherry blossom delay open, this is also the first in the country." The national 4A class tourist scenic spot, director of the management center of Nanshan botanical garden, Chongqing, Ju Xue Yong told the twenty-first Century economic news reporter that theoretically, human beings can control flower varieties all over the world, but the cost is too high.

They were all forced by the epidemic.

This plan, known as "frozen cherry blossoms", aims to extend the flowering period, thereby enhancing the ornamental value of the flowers and increasing the operating income of the park. "The epidemic has brought the plan ahead of schedule." Ju Xueyong said.

In Chongqing, cherry blossoms usually bloom from December to March of next year. During this period, the Chongqing botanical garden has the largest number of local varieties and the largest number of cherry blossoms.

But this year is different. From January 24th, Chongqing launched a I response to major public health emergencies. It was reduced to two level response from 24 hours in March 10th. According to the relevant regulations of the government, the Chongqing botanical garden began to purchase the tickets in real name system in March 13th. During the reservation period, only the gates are open, and the other entries are not yet open. At that time, according to past flowering season, cherry blossom season is coming to an end.

"Just after the Spring Festival, we thought that this year affected by the epidemic, the freezing plan had to be ahead of schedule. This is a bold quest to see whether cherry blossoms can survive 'safe' and come back to bloom. Ju Xueyong said.

In early February, due to the high temperature in Chongqing, at 18 degrees Celsius -19 degrees Celsius, cherry blossoms began to differentiate at more than 15 degrees, that is, bud buds. "Just like a child. The bud began to grow in the winter, and it usually had to be '2-3 months'. He said.

Temperature is the most important factor affecting florescence. How can we bring down the temperature? Nanshan botanical garden thought of handling. Ju Xueyong said that the temperature dropped to high altitude and two to the high latitudes. It is estimated that the cost of transporting cherry blossoms to Shandong and Beijing, which is farther north than Chongqing, is greater than that of the mountains that are transported to Chongqing.

Thus, the first 300 seedlings of the cherry trees planted on the cherry trees were loaded onto the truck and transported to the taller Jinfo Mountain of Chongqing from the south of the "lung leaf" of the main city of Chongqing, and then planted into the farmhouse nursery. Jinfo Mountain from November to March next year is the ice and snow period, the main peak wind blowing Ling 2251 meters above sea level, is the highest peak in the mountain range.

In March 20th, a week after the Botanical Garden opened, many of the "cherry trees" that had been "frozen" went home. When the cherry blossoms in the outskirts of Chongqing were all over, the first batch of cherry blossoms returned to their hometown in Nanshan was the first surprise to Chongqing native and foreign tourists. "Successful! The cherry blossoms that we bring back can be opened for more than two weeks. We can go up the mountain to see cherry blossoms in April. " Ju Xueyong was delighted.

Although there is no cross province up north, in order to win this "epidemic prevention war", Nanshan Sakura's "late fetal journey" is also difficult.

Technically, it is hard to hope that flowers bloom early or late. Ju Xueyong admits that this is directly related to the climate of Chongqing. There is little difference in the accumulated temperature throughout the year. Therefore, the flowering time of cherry blossoms is too early or too late. "If you want to open early in February, at least December of last year will have to heat up to 15 degrees Celsius." Ju Xueyong said that compared with greenhouse heating, the cost of cooling is even higher.

Accumulated temperature refers to the sum of the daily mean temperature of a certain period of time, or the daily mean temperature of the duration period, which is greater than or equal to 10 degrees centigrade, that is, the sum of the active temperature. It is an indicator of the relationship between temperature and the speed of development of organisms. It shows the effect of temperature on the growth and development of biological organisms from two aspects of intensity and action time.

Temperature plays a decisive role in the flowering period, followed by fertilizer and light. Ju Xueyong introduced that the growth period of cherry blossoms should be nitrogenous fertilizer, and the ratio of phosphorus and potash fertilizer before flowering should also be adjusted, and organic fertilizer should not be used. "In order to ensure the quality of cherry blossoms, we have purchased a new type of water-soluble fertilizer and increased the cost." He said.

In order to control the technology well, the cherry blossoms in Nanshan botanical garden are not "moving". Instead, they have sent administrators to guide farmers for at least 1-2 days a week in the nursery.

In addition to the significant increase in the cost of technology, including personnel expenses and rental nursery, transport costs are also a great expense.

"Calculate, the average freight cost of a cherry blossom light is 60-70 yuan. The first batch of cherry blossoms is frozen, and we have increased about 100 thousand yuan more than usual maintenance. " Ju Xueyong said.

He said that controlling plant growth environment is still a high cost. He hoped that the selection and management of varieties will be more elaborate and technically more mature, thereby reducing costs, making the cherry blossom late, and cherry blossoms earlier and more beautiful. There are more than 400 cherry blossoms all over the world, and more than 70 species have been introduced into Nanshan botanical garden. I hope to breed new varieties later. " He said.

With the late opening of cherry blossoms, the Nanshan botanical garden has increased the number of daily restrictions since March 21st. One point seven Ten thousand people can book tickets and enjoy flowers in advance.

Boiling with hot pot and hot spring

When the flowers were not finished, the chilled hot pot began to rekindle and boil. Eating hot pot under flower trees is a great pleasure for Chongqing people to like to go to Nanshan in the spring.

"We had a holiday on New Year's day, but we took delivery at the second day of the first year, and we didn't get back to work until March 13th. In this way, our turnover in March is still 40% lower than that of last year. In April 9th, Li Chunyan, founder of the Longjing hotpot, told the twenty-first Century business reporter on the phone that the road to and from Nanshan hotpot was bumpy and bumpy.

Fresh Longjing hotpot has been founded for 20 years. Summer gardens such as Lotus Pond, Hollywood, private courtyards, landscaped lakes and other landscapes make the Chongqing hotpot unique. Why not cooperate with botanical garden to launch a feast for enjoying flowers and jointly develop the cultural tourism industry in Chongqing?

Under the influence of the epidemic, Nanshan botanical garden and chafing dish shop hit by hundreds of thousands of tourists were hit by the box. A set of 3 flower appreciation packages with tickets and chafing dish restaurants together were launched. "There are about 10 increments per day. The increase in passenger flow is still secondary, and this time the combination of Wen and Li has greatly increased the popularity of hotpot restaurants. Li Chunyan said the epidemic has spawned new routes to eat, live and travel. Next, she plans to cooperate with the "red tree" viewing platform of the Chongqing Red Net scenic spot. "We should also string up the mountain lodges."

In Yubei District, Chongqing, another flower affair has been interrupted, but it is giving birth to more business opportunities.

In April 9th, the scenic spot in Yubei District was announced to be fully restored. In fact, this is the second time that the old brand hot spring in Chongqing is planning to resume work during epidemic prevention and control.

Hot springs, which are rich in geothermal resources in Chongqing, are another boiling tourist card after hot pot.

"We are ready to open in March. The plum blossom box of Tong Jing town opened. This year, it is said that there are more people watching Li Hua than usual. Many tourists have the habit of watching flowers during the day and soaking in hot springs at night. As a result, the flowers were appreciated because of the epidemic, but this year the hot springs did not soak. Wang Di, who is responsible for publicity and planning at Tong Jing hot spring scenic spot, said that after two months of the epidemic, the sales volume of the hot spring spot dropped by about 20000000 yuan.

The printing box is a village in the northern foot of Tong Jing Town, Yubei District, Chongqing. In recent years, the plum blossom festival has been an unprecedented occasion. Li Hua is as white as snow and covered with clouds, attracting more and more people around Chongqing. With the help of rural tourism, increasing the flow of hot springs has been one of the best routes in Yubei District, Chongqing.

"The delay in opening business is because we have received notification from the medical team members who are receiving medical assistance from Hubei." Wang Di said that from March 23rd to April 6th, including the Chongqing Municipal Hospital of traditional Chinese medicine, more than 200 medical and nursing personnel from all districts and counties in Chongqing were admitted to the scenic spot of the unified Jing hot spring and had been quarantined for 14 days.

Although the business has been postponed, the reception of the medical team has made Wang Di an eye opener.

"Basically, they are doctors and nurses in the internal medicine department, especially in the Department of respiration. They are very knowledge-based on how to soak up hot springs, and when they are most suitable for bubble, diet, daily life and health keeping. The medical team taught us a lot and brought us a chance to stay in spa. Tong Jing hot spring has decided to develop the team's convalescent market. Wang Di said that Tong Jing hot spring was developed in the 80-90 century of the last century, and there are many health care workers in the old customers.

Through the hot springs Association of Chongqing, the next step is to integrate the guidance of national medical masters and convalescent experts with the guidance of national medical masters and convalescent experts, and to develop the convalescent packages for many people in the light of the requirements of the medical team on the guide to recipes and the selection of daily entertainment and fitness programs. Wang Di said that the Tong Jing hot spring has long been aimed at the aviation market, and the pilots have a period of recuperation prescribed each year. Unexpectedly, through the practice of the medical team, the high-end spa products are coming out. Next, it can be launched for training institutions, chronic diseases care and crowds and Conference teams.

No matter whether the flowers are frozen or postponed or not, they are the hottest visitors to Chongqing.

Super large city park Chongqing Garden Expo is the Eighth China International Garden Expo site. Since the resumption of its opening in March 16th, according to statistics from Ctrip, the number of visitors in Chongqing Garden Expo in March has been the highest in Chongqing. In March 23rd, where data showed that just before the weekend, the number of visitors to Chongqing Garden Expo jumped to second of the major scenic spots in the country.

"Large area, empty terrain, more than 20 kinds of spring flowers, beautiful. Flowers become symbols, showing the beauty of Chinese traditional gardens. Recently, Wang Jihua, Secretary of the Chongqing Garden Expo Garden, told reporters on twenty-first Century economic report that Daiwa Mi is the biggest advantage of Yuan Bo Yuan. Tourists from Chongqing and neighboring provinces such as Sichuan and Guizhou have chosen them as the first choice for traveling.

Chongqing Garden Expo area covers an area of 3300 mu, including 800 acres of water area. There are 26 characteristic landscapes, 7 bridges, 5 characteristic buildings and 3 tunnels. Thirty-five point two A kilometre walk.

But Cherry Blossom Avenue and tulips can not keep all visitors' hearts.

"We use real feelings and delicate services to impress people." Wang Jihua said that before entering the park, every visitor would sweep the health code, regardless of age, whether he would be able to operate or not. The garden park has opened two convenient free channels for medical workers, set up a hero's praise wall, and presented gifts to medical staff. At the same time, ordinary visitors can enjoy the cash prize through photography or participating in the shaking contest. Elderly tourists can also travel on a cost-effective vehicle.

Similarly, the Tong Jing hot spring also provides free hot spring service to all medical workers in Hubei and Hubei Province.

The epidemic will eventually go away. The story of Chongqing and flowers will always bloom.
