Exploring Geoheritage and Tourism-Geological Culture:A Case Study of Dongcha Geological Culture Village,Northeast Qinghai-Tibet Plateau
Geological cultural villages are emerging as a novel industrial pattern driving rural tourism develop-ment.The foundation and essence of these villages lie in their distinctive geological heritage resources and geo-logical significance.However,as a new form of tourism attraction centered on geology,clearly defining and ex-cavating the tourism-geological culture of geological cultural villages remains a weak link in their construction.This paper,using the construction of Dongcha Geological Cultural Village as a case study,explores the unique geological heritage resources and the connotations of tourism-geological culture within the village.Based on field investigations,Dongcha Village boasts a myriad of geological wonders,including various pictographic stone landscapes formed by alpine carbonate rock topography,Middle Proterozoic Jixianian stromatolite fossils,and densely packed step-like waterfall groups.These wonders are integrated with the unique tectonic features of Dongcha and the layered gorge landscapes within the plateau.With its unique geographical location,rich histor-ical and cultural heritage,and distinctive Hehuang Tibetan folk customs,Dongcha Village has the potential to develop into a"geology+eco-tourism"geological cultural village.Rooted in its geological environment,Dongcha's tourism-geological culture seamlessly blends geoheritage with natural and human resources,as well as rural culture.Through the in-depth integration of geology and tourism,this paper proposes a framework for tourism-geological culture in the development of geological culture villages.Through analyzing this culture,we aim to enhance the quality of geological cultural village development,fully implementing the construction princi-ples of"geology as the foundation,culture as the soul,integration as the key,and benefiting the people as the essence".This approach promotes the protection of regional geological relics,disseminates and popularizes geo-science knowledge,drives regional leisure tourism,and contributes to the comprehensive revitalization of rural areas.
