Promotion of the links between Geological Heritage sites and Natural and Cultural sites within the Geopark
Most of the cultural landscape heritages in the geopark are built on the special topography of geological heritages, such as temples, inscriptions on stone, ancient plank roads, etc., which have the dual attributes of "geological heritages" and "cultural relics". Relying on the ancient historical and cultural capital, Xi'an, the geopark cooperates with Shaanxi Tourism Group Company to create China's first live-action historical dancing drama “Changhenge” against the background of Lishan, and to create tourism products such as Wangshunshan's filial piety culture, Nanwutai Buddhism research, the central Shaanxi folk custom culture, Kumarajiva Tang culture, etc.
