别让更多的桃花源消失在黎明之前--构建服务于高品质旅居生活的新型基础设施暨桂林成就世界级旅游城市的三项建议

We Cannot Lose Rural Paradises Anymore--Building New Infrastructure for Quality Residential Tourism and Three Suggestions for Guilin Towards a World-Class Tourist City

中国众多地区都拥有得天独厚的自然与文化资产和气候条件,具备成为世界级的旅居目的地的潜力。但长期以来,当地单一的观光旅游开发模式、粗暴的基础设施建设方式和粗放的土地开发模式,使大量不可再生的自然景观和乡土文化景观遭到破坏。笔者认为,随着人民对美好生活的需求和审美品位不断提高,旅居生活将成为未来社会的重要产品需求。在新的基础设施建设高潮来临之际,中国广大具有独特自然和文化景观的区域,有必要规划和建设面向未来的世界级旅居目的地的新型基础设施,并有必要尽快制定相应的乡村土地利用策略。本文介绍了笔者向桂林市政府提出的“成就世界级旅游城市的三项建议”,旨在呼吁相关决策者抓住即将到来的基础设施建设和正在进行的乡村振兴的机遇,构建面向未来、作为世界级旅居目的地的新型基础设施。这三项建议也同样可为其他具有成为世界级旅居目的地潜力的区域决策者提供参考。

With blessed assets in natural resources, cultural legacy, and climatic conditions, a number of regions throughout China are qualified as world-class residential tourism destinations. However, for years, single-purpose tourism-oriented development modes, extensive infrastructure construction, and generic land development strategies have irreversibly destroyed a large number of vernacular natural and cultural landscapes. The author holds that with the increased urbanization level, people’s growing demand for a good life and aesthetic opportunities will boost residential tourism in the near future. To seize the opportunities in current infrastructure construction, it is necessary to plan and build a new type of infrastructure system for vast areas of China where world-class tourist and residential destinations can be created based on vernacular natural and cultural landscapes, and to develop related rural land use strategies proactively. In this essay, the author proposes Three Suggestions to Achieve a World-Class Tourist City to the Guilin Municipal Government, and advocates that in the context of the upcoming infrastructure development and the ongoing rural revitalization, it is the time to build future world-class residential tourism destinations by constructing a new type of infrastructure system. These suggestions can also provide reference for decision-makers of other areas with the same potential.
