Chongqing- For China's Two Sessions this year, members of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) in Chongqing and Sichuan jointly submitted a proposal, calling for the Bashu Cultural Tourism Corridor's construction at the national level.

Bashu is a region associated with modern-day Chongqing and Sichuan, named after the ancient Chinese states of Ba and Shu during the Shang and Zhou dynasties.

When it comes to the Chengdu-Chongqing economic circle, promoting the construction of the Bashu Cultural Tourism Corridor is one of the country's initiatives to lead the high-quality development of regional cultural tourism.

Current progress

Members of the CPPCC National Committee from Sichuan and Chongqing believe that the construction of the Bashu Cultural Tourism Corridor promotes the coordinated development of regional tourism and enhances the overall competitiveness of cultural tourism in the Bashu region.

Furthermore, it is a pivotal contributor to the Chengdu-Chongqing economic circle, driving to build a national high-quality living place, international consumption center, and world-class leisure and tourism destination.

Over the past two years, Sichuan and Chongqing have signed 63 strategic cooperation agreements, including 11 cooperation alliances established. There are 107 major tasks and 200 key cultural relic conversation projects with a total investment of 5.67 billion yuan.

Top-level planning and policy support

Relevant members of the CPPCC National Committee learned that a series of difficulties now affect the construction of the Bashu Cultural Tourism Corridor during the investigation and research.

Therefore, they immediately recommend strengthening the top-level planning and policy support from the national level for the Bashu Cultural Tourism Corridor.
