However, the development of Mengshan is not limited to this. In March this year, Jinyuan District issued the implementation opinions on the construction of a business, trade, culture and tourism integration cluster. The district will aim to build a national regional business center and a national all-for-one tourism demonstration zone, in accordance with the work idea of "bringing tourism with culture, revitalizing business with tourism, cultivating culture with business, and deeply integrating culture, tourism and commerce", excavate and integrate Jinyuan's historical and humanities, natural ecology and consumer market resources, and use three years to strive to create an open and active, diversified business format, and Jinyang cultural characteristics of the integration of business, trade, culture and tourism agglomeration area, attract more tourists, and promote the development of the consumer market. Based on the spatial layout of the integrated development of culture, commerce and tourism of "one core, one belt and two cities", the integrated cluster area of commerce, trade and tourism will radiate from north to south to form 11 business and travel circles with their own characteristics and multi-point support. Among them, Mengshan is also one of them. In the future, the scenic spot will introduce commercial formats such as Zen B&B, Zen Vegetarian Zhai, Zen Center, Zen Library, Zen Teahouse, Zen Auditorium, etc., to create a business travel circle featuring Zen environment. It is believed that this development plan will bring more surprises and wonderful experiences to tourists.
