        In a bid to restore the pristine alpine beauty of the Hanas Nature Reserve in Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region , authorities recently decided to demolish a sprawling 30-milllion-yuan holiday resort in the area within the next five years.A new holiday resort will be constructed in Jiadengyu Forest Prak,30km from the scenic area. In Hanan Natrue Reserve, located in Burqin County in the Altai region , is a prime tourist attraction known for its splendid landscape. Since the local government decided to accelerate development of tourism in 1998, many developers rushed here to build villas , hotels and holiday resorts.Facilities in the area are currently able to accommodate 2,000 visitors a day. Recent statistics show that the nature reserve received 360 ,000 tourists last year, and generated 45 million yuan in earnings. During the first seven months of this year, the area received more than 300,000 tourists, up 25 percent over the same period last year. Earnings also increased by 64 percent over the same period last year. But excessive and disorderly development of the area, which largely resulted from a lack of unified planning and management , has caused many negative impacts. Construction and logging have damaged the grasslands and vegetation there. In addition, the improper treatment of sewage, garbage and exhaust gas has created a serious environmental problem. Even worse , some developers introduced Karaoke and Disco into the scenic area, causing unbearable noise pollution in the originally tranquil place. As the disorderly development drew increasing concern from society, the local government was forced to take swift action to save the nature reserve. Early last year , the local government invited a group of experts from the Chinese Academy of Sciences, at a cost 1.1 million yuan , to formulate an ecological rehabilitation plan for the area. As an important part of the plan, all the holiday resorts and hotels in the area will be bulldozed. In future , all tourists will have to enter the reserve in environment-friendly vehicles, on horseback or on foot. All structures not built with natural wood will be demolished, and tour boats will be banned from using liquid fuel. Some of the buildings near Hanas Lake have already been dismantled. Sewage treatment facilities are under construction in the new holiday resort in Jiadengyu Forest Park. A 58-km highway, linking Burqin County and Jiadengyu , will be completed before the beginning of the busy tourism season next year.

        (1 ) Modern tourism is a discipline that has only recently attracted the attention of scholars from many fields. The majority of studies have been conducted for special purposes and have used narrow operational definitions to suit particular needs of researchers or government officials ; these studies have not encompassed a systems approach. Consequently, many definitions of "tourism" and"the tourist' are based on distance traveled, the length of time spent , and the purpose of the trip. This makes it difficult to gather statistical information that scholars can use to develop a database, describe the tourism phenomenon, and do analyses. (2 ) As a site of historical interest, Taishan has been a preferred place of visit for centuries. Dating back to the Yin and Shang periods (1766-1122 BC),Chinese forefathers established five directions of north, south, east , west and center. The east, where the sun rises , presents life's fertility with the end of winter and coming of spring. Taishan, located in a coastal province in eastern China, has been regarded as a propitious place. Ancient emperors prayed for the country's prosperity and peach by offering sacrifices to Heaven and Earth on Taishan. According to historical records , prior to the Western Zhou Dynasty (1122-771BC),72 monarchs climbed the mountain to perform sacrifices. They were then followed by Qinshihuang, China's first emperor, and then the emperors of the Han , Tang , Song and Qing Dynasties.
