(231002) -- TAIYUAN, Oct. 2, 2023 (Xinhua) -- Villager Li Yonglin brushes his donkey in the Qikou ancient town of Linxian County, north China's Shanxi Province, Aug. 2, 2023. Li would decorate his donkey and provide it to tourists for riding amid slack season of agricultural production. Qikou, an ancient riverine town along the Yellow River, was an important trade ferry in history. However, with the development of land transportation, the Qikou ancient town declined in terms of trade volume, leaving many of its historical buildings in disrepair. In recent years, local authorities have carried out protection and restoration of historical buildings and ancient dwellings in the Qikou ancient town. At the same time, the integrated development of culture and tourism is also promoted. Today the ancient town has become a popular tourist attraction. More than 5,000 people out of a population of about 30,000 in the town are engaged in the tourism industry. (Xinhua/Zhan Yan)

    (240614) -- TAIYUAN, June 14, 2024 Photo by Xinhua/ABACAPRESS.COM) -- A couple pose for wedding photos by Yuncheng Salt Lake in the city of Yuncheng, north China's Shanxi Province, June 5, 2024. Yuncheng Salt Lake, known as the "Dead Sea of China," is one of three inland salt lakes with sodium sulfate in the world, covering an area of 132 square km. It once served as a salt production base. To better protect the lake's ecology, industrial production activities in the lake area have been completely terminated, and restoration works such as embankment renovation, dredging, and flood prevention have been carried out. Meanwhile, a protective regulation issued a few years ago has not only provided a basis for the lake's protection, but also extended the protection scope to ecological, natural, and cultural resources. Nowadays, the salt lake has been striving to transform into a tourist landmark and an ecological reserve, embracing new opportunities in the process of development.
