Starting from Luchuan County, it takes about an hour to drive to the Guiling Valley rural tourist area located in Baziling, Gao Qing Village, Shapo Town, Luchuan County, Yulin City. The gate of the scenic spot is a "Little Great Wall" built after the Badaling Great Wall, and the words "The Great Wall for Sightseeing in the Guling Valley" are impressive.

Climb up the stone steps and come to the highest "beacon tower" of the "Baziling Great Wall", surrounded by mountains and sometimes misty clouds. From afar, you can see Xiexianzhang, the highest mountain in Luchuan County. As can be seen from the aerial picture, the "Baziling Great Wall" is shaped like a "eight" and extends to both sides.

It was named "Baziling Great Wall" because it was built in Baziling.
Ruan Guansheng, the person in charge of Guilinggu Rural Tourism Zone, introduced that the "Baziling Great Wall" project was built under the guidance of Luchuan County Party Committee and Government, and efforts were made to create a new bright spot in the combination of industrial poverty alleviation and rural tourism. The project is planned to build 2000 meters. At present, the first phase of the project has been completed 450 meters, and the trial operation began during the National Day holiday this year.
Ruan Guansheng introduced that the "Baziling Great Wall" is actually a sightseeing corridor in the tourist area, named after it was built on the local Baziling. Before the project construction, it has been approved by Luchuan County Environmental Protection Bureau.
Ruan Guansheng said that the "Baziling Great Wall" was built on the ridge, which was originally a forest fire zone with sparse vegetation. Mountain fires often occur in the local area. After the "Baziling Great Wall" is repaired, Gao Qing Village and Bei ‘an Village on both sides will be separated to play the role of isolation and fire prevention. Considering the problem of environmental protection, the cement sand used in the construction of the "Baziling Great Wall" is all carried up the mountain by horses.

Quickly became popular and controversial.
Ruan Guansheng introduced that the "Baziling Great Wall" began trial operation during the National Day holiday this year, which attracted many tourists to visit and visit, and the small holiday received about 35,000 tourists. "At that time, tourists were full and meals were in short supply."
The reporter noticed that on the network platform, the topic of "high imitation of the Great Wall" has attracted the attention of many netizens. Netizens have different views on the "high imitation of the Great Wall". Some people think it is a "knockoff", which has no historical connotation and is meaningless. Some people think that it is good to climb the Great Wall in Guangxi.
On the 23rd, there was an endless stream of tourists visiting the "Baziling Sightseeing Great Wall". People have taken photos at the "Haohanpo" of the "Baziling Great Wall".

Xie Xiaoqin, a tourist from Yulin City, said that it is not surprising that the "Baziling Sightseeing Great Wall" attracted attention because it imitated the famous Badaling Great Wall. But it doesn’t have the cultural background of Badaling Great Wall, and it doesn’t tap the local characteristics. It’s hard to say how long it will be popular.
Ms. Luo, a tourist from Guangzhou, has been to the Badaling Great Wall in Beijing. She thinks that the "Baziling Great Wall" can’t be compared with the Badaling Great Wall, but for local people, the construction of the "Little Great Wall" can bring new leisure tourism projects, which is also good.

The project leader responds to the dispute.
Ruan Guansheng doesn’t care about these disputes. Ruan Guansheng said that the Great Wall of Wan Li is a famous tourist attraction and a place that Chinese yearns for. When she was in her seventies, my mother urged me to take her to the Badaling Great Wall in Beijing. However, it is a long way from Guangxi to Beijing and the cost is high. Many people, especially the elderly, rarely have the opportunity to experience climbing the Great Wall.

Ruan Guansheng introduced that Gao Qing Village is one of the second batch of key rural tourism villages in China. The rural tourism project of Guilinggu, located in Baziling, Gao Qing Village, covers an area of more than 130 hectares, and is planted with economic trees such as camellia oleifera, orange peel and camellia chrysantha, with an original ecological forest landscape stretching for dozens of miles, forming a new development path of "characteristic industry+characteristic tourism".
Over the years, Guilinggu Rural Tourism Zone has absorbed 72 poor households in the village to participate in rural tourism poverty alleviation industry, and implemented the model of villagers’ cooperatives+tourism enterprises+poor households to develop and expand tourism, providing a platform for poor households to get rid of poverty and increase their income.

Ruan Guansheng is a native of Gao Qing village. He worked in architecture in his early years and has some experience. He thought that Baziling Mountain was very suitable for building a sightseeing corridor, so he came up with the idea of building a condensed version of the Great Wall. "One is to satisfy the villagers’ desire to climb the Great Wall, and the other is to increase the attractions for rural tourism and promote tourism development, thus helping poor households to increase their income."

Ruan Guansheng said that Luchuan County has a good geographical location. In September this year, the Yulin-Zhanjiang Expressway in Guangxi was fully opened to traffic, making it very convenient for Guangdong tourists to travel to Luchuan County by car. In the future, the "Baziling Great Wall" will attract more tourists from Guangdong Province and even all over the country to experience it. "We are accelerating the improvement of tourism infrastructure and preparing for receiving more tourists."
