“We hold mobilization meeting for building Eight Spring Gorge into 5A scenic area at Grand River Hotel today. I want to emphasize the following three aspects. Firstly, it’s about the great significance. The red Taihang spirit has inspires us to strive for continuous self-improvement from generation to generation. The magic power of the nature has carved out the magnificent momentum of Eight Spring Gorge. We should make good use of such unique resource and enable more tourists to appreciate the magnificence and beauty of the Grand Canyon of Taihang Mountain. The Eight Spring Gorge Scenic Area of the Grand Canyon of Taihang Mountain is the leading scenic area of “Taihang Sector”, one of the three major tourism sectors established by CPC Committee and Government of Shanxi Province. It’s the key scenic area for the transformation and development of Shanxi as well as the entry point and breakthrough point of culture and tourism industry. The 5A building of Eight Spring Gorge Scenic Area can not only promote the economic development of Huguan County, but also help local people get rid of poverty and become rich and play a certain promoting role in the publicity of Shanxi and Changzhi. Secondly, it’s about the precious opportunity. Secretary Luo of CPC Committee of Shanxi Province and Secretary Sun of CPC Committee of Changzhi City have gone to the Ministry of Culture and Tourism several times to make special reports to on the 5A building work of Eight Spring Gorge. Leaders from CPC Committee and Government of Shanxi Province as well as the CPC Committee and Government of Changzhi City have attached great importance to the 5A building of Eight Spring Gorge. Thirdly, I want to talk about how to do a good job. CPC Committee and Government of Huguan County have set up 5A work team, made clear about tasks and assigned responsibilities to relevant people. Relevant functional departments of Changzhi City and Huguan County should provide full support, compare and study standard to find gaps, benchmark and implement item by item, formulate rectification measures, overcome difficulties to bring the 5A golden signboard back home to submit a satisfactory transcript to CPC Committee and Government of Shanxi Province and present a gift to the 70th anniversary for the founding of the People’s Republic of China!”
Li Quanxin (Deputy Director of the People’s Congress of Changzhi City and Secretary of CPC Committee of Huguan County) said at the mobilization meeting, “Leaders have attached unprecedented attention to the work of building Eight Spring Gorge Scenic Area of the Grand Canyon of Taihang Mountain into national 5A scenic area and the level of this meeting is unprecedented. The opportunity for 5A building is unprecedentedly good. He emphasized the following four aspects. “Firstly, we should grasp the spirit of leaders. It’s unprecedented in the whole Shanxi Province that Secretary Luo of CPC Committee of Shanxi Province went to the Ministry of Culture and Tourism personally to coordinate the 5A building for one scenic area. It’s unprecedented in the whole Changzhi City that Mayor Yang of the Government of Changzhi City came to the gorge and attended the 5A building mobilization meeting. These two “Unprecedented” have upgraded the 5A building work of Eight Spring Gorge from county-level key work to provincial and municipal key work and fully illustrates the great importance attached by the leaders from CPC Committee and Government of Shanxi Province and the CPC Committee and Government of Changzhi City to the development of culture and tourism. Secondly, we should stress key point. The key point of 5A building is to compare with and grasp standard. Such standard includes three parts. Firstly, it’s the scoring rules for service quality and environmental quality, 1000 points in total and at least 950 points required to reach the standard. We got 935 points in 2016 and missed 5A regretfully. Secondly, the landscape quality scoring rules are 100 points. Third, it’s the scoring rules for landscape quality, 100 points in total. Thirdly, it’s the scoring rules for tourist opinion, 100 points in total. Generally speaking, the standard for 5A building is quite high and the concept of “people-oriented” is implemented. If 4A is “Passat”, then 5A is “Red Flag”. Thirdly, we should focus on issues. We should adhere to issue orientation, rectification orientation and normalization orientation, focus on the issues investigated openly and secretly by the nation in 2016, make issue list, responsibility list and rectification list, improve weak links, strengthen weak points and grasp rectification, and maintain normalization at the same time. Fourthly, we should divide responsibilities in detail. For 5A building, we must work together and coordinate with each other. On one hand, we need to divide our work and assume respective responsibility; on the other hand, we should cooperate with each other and make concerted efforts. As long as each point of the 1,000 points in total should have one responsible person, I believe that 5A scenic area can be built successfully!”
After the meeting, we must earnestly implement the spirit of Mayor Yang’s important speech, seize the precious opportunity, improve our work style, assume responsibility and do work actively, strengthen sense of mission, determination, courage and spirit, rectify relevant issue without any compromise to ensure the success of 5A building and hand over satisfactory answer sheet to the CPC Committee and Government of Changzhi City and to the people of the entire Huguan County!
More than 300 people, including relevant government leaders at provincial, municipal and county levels of Shanxi, the work team and first secretary assigned by the culture and tourism department at Qiaoshang Township, cadres at township and village levels of Qiaoshang, relevant units directly under Huguan County and market units at villages and towns, staff officers of Taihang Tourism Corp. and Eight Spring Gorge Scenic Area and some representatives of agritainments and travel agencies, attended the meeting.
