According to the Culture and Tourism Commission of Nanchuan District, remarkable results have been achieved in the integration of sports and tourism in recent years, with traditional outdoor activities like skiing, rafting, and camping based at Jinfo Mountain having gained strong popularity and new emerging formats such as kayaking, cross-country and paragliding experiences at Lixiang Lake now coming to the forefront.
