  • Mainland Scenery VIII
    Mainland Scenery VIII The Yellow River, the second-longest river in China with a total length of about 5,464 km, is said to originate in Kariqu, Qinghai Province. It passes through nine provinces, cities and autonomous regions from West to East, namely Qinghai, Sichuan, Gansu, Ningxia, Inner Mongolia, Shaanxi, Shanxi, Henan, and Shandong, and empties into the Bohai Sea in Shandong Province. Hukou Waterfall is located in the middle section of the Yellow River Basin and the southern section of the Jin-Shaan Grand Canyon. It is adjacent to Ji County of Shanxi Province in the East and Yichuan County of Shaanxi province in the West, which is also a common tourist resource shared by both provinces. Hukou Waterfall is one of the three major waterfalls in China, along with the Detian Waterfall in China–Vietnam border and Huangguoshu Waterfall in Guizhou Province. Hukou Waterfall was listed as a national natural scenic spot in 1988 and one of the “40 Best Tourist Attractions in China” by China National Tourism Administration in 1991. In January 2002, the 45-square-kilometer area of the Hukou Waterfall was designated as a national geological park and a national AAAA tourist attraction. When the Yellow River reaches the west bank of the Hukou, the surface of the river looks very calm, but the river bottom shelves here. The 400-meter wide Yellow River suddenly narrows and is forced violently through a 30- to 50-meter-wide gorge before falling turbulently as a waterfall, where the topographic structure of the riverbed is shaped like a giant tea kettle, collecting all the surging water and forms the waterfall, hence the name Hukou (“kettle spout” in Chinese).

  • How Can Big Data Support Smart Scenic Area Management? an Analysis of Travel Blogs on Huashan
    sustainability Article How Can Big Data Support Smart Scenic Area Management? An Analysis of Travel Blogs on Huashan Jun Shao 1, Xuesong Chang 2 and Alastair M. Morrison 3,* 1 School of Landscape Architecture, Beijing Forestry University, Beijing 100083, China; [email protected] 2 Department of Tourism and Scenic Area Planning & Research, Beijing Tsinghua Tongheng Urban Planning & Design Institute, Beijing 100085, China; [email protected] 3 School of Hospitality and Tourism Management, Purdue University, West Lafayette, IN 47907, USA * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +86-10-6233-8304 Received: 30 October 2017; Accepted: 7 December 2017; Published: 9 December 2017 Abstract: Data from travel blogs represent important travel behavior and destination resource information. Moreover, technological innovations and increasing use of social media are providing accessible ‘big data’ at a low cost. Despite this, there is still limited big data analysis for scenic tourism areas. This research on Huashan (Mount Hua, China) data-mined user-contributed travel logs on the Mafengwo and Ctrip websites. Semantic analysis explored tourist movement patterns and preferences within the scenic area. GIS provided a visual distribution of blogger origins. The relationship between Huashan and adjoining tourism areas revealed a multi-destination pattern of tourist movements. Emotional analysis indicated tourist satisfaction levels, while content analysis explored more deeply into dissatisfying aspects of tourist experiences. The results should provide guidance for scenic areas in destination planning and design. Keywords: travel blogs; big data; smart destination management; scenic areas; Huashan; China; data mining; GIS 1. Introduction Travel behavioral pattern analysis is important for the planning and management of tourism destinations and attractions, allowing managers to more effectively develop strategies, map out travel routes, recommend products and experiences, and manage visitor impacts [1].
