Nanchong City, the regional brand of cultural tourism, has unique cultural values and political functions Human Geographers believe that unique culture of one city will be the main force and core competence drive itself to be distinctive among all the cities, though the factors driving a city to a better one are various from economy to culture. Indeed, every city has its own unique history and culture. A unique culture will be the core competitiveness and motivate force in its development.[3] As the origin, bearer and disseminator of its culture, Nanchong City has unique cultural gene that can not be copied. First, the rich historical and cultural resources in Nanchong get hierarchical explored and protected so that its brand has unique attraction. Nanchong as the hometown of Marshal Zhu De, Gneral and vice-chairman Luo, the birthplace of the great soldier Zhang Side, and among the fifty thousand people who have been in the Red Army, there are 21 generals, so the generals’ hometown has a very distinct attraction, making Nanchong become "In Yuzhong, focused in northeast Sichuan and Chongqing Sichuan and Shaanxi Cultural Tourism Zone".

The sense of reality mainly dues to two aspects:the pursuit of the spirit development and the interaction with local people when people travel.
