Recently, with the overseas promotion of Vice Foreign Minister Hua Chunying, a short video titled "Mirror of the Sky" has become popular on the entire Internet, with over 100 million views, making the "Sky Road" at Pingtian Lake in Guichi District, Chizhou City a shining business card showcasing China's beautiful scenery.
The fame of "Sky Road" is due to Pingtian Lake's unique natural scenery, profound historical and cultural heritage, and Chizhou City's adherence to the principles of integrity and innovation in the integration of ecological protection and cultural tourism.

It all started with the path winding through the water, which turned into a "road hanging in the sky" under the camera of a drone.
This narrow path, which is only wide enough for two cars to pass each other, was captured by Chizhou local photographer Rao Yi and Chizhou College sophomore Diao Aoxiang, and quickly became popular on the Internet. Follow-up reports from media such as People's Daily and Xinhua News Agency increased the total network traffic to over 100 million, and Pingtian Lake instantly became a popular check-in destination.

Pingtian Lake, formerly known as Baisha Lake, gets its beautiful name from the poem "Autumn River Song" by the poet Li Bai: "The water is like a silk thread, this place is Pingtian." It is located in the eastern part of Chizhou city. Historically, it was a vast wetland stretching from Wanluo Mountain to the riverside. The water area was vast at the turn of spring and summer.
In the 1960s, in order to eliminate snails, prevent floods and increase arable land, Guichi County at that time implemented the Southeast Lake Reclamation and Snail Eradication Project, diverted the Baiyang River to merge with the Qiupu River at Qiegang in Xinghua Village, and formed the Southeast Lake arable land and fish ponds as well as the current Pingtian Lake waters.
The popularity of Pingtian Lake is not accidental. Behind it is Chizhou City's firm adherence to the concept of ecological protection and scientific decision-making.
As early as 2000, Chizhou City commissioned Tongji University and other institutions to prepare the Pingtian Lake Scenic Area Plan, adhering to the "anti-planning" concept, giving priority to protecting ecological land, and then planning construction land. Putting ecological protection first has laid a solid foundation for the sustainable development of Pingtian Lake.
Chizhou City has taken a number of measures to carry out comprehensive management of the "two rivers and one lake" (Qingxi River, Baiyang River, and Pingtian Lake), including dredging and promoting biological purification technologies such as ecological floating islands, and the ecological environment has continued to improve.
Today, Pingtian Lake has a mirror-like surface and is beautiful beyond words. It has become a "paradise" for birds such as white cranes and little swans, and a "big park" at the doorstep of people's homes.
Pingtian Lake not only has beautiful natural scenery, but also is a carrier of rich historical culture. From the famous Southern Song Dynasty general Yue Fei stationed troops and trained the navy here, to the poems, songs and cliff carvings left by literati of all dynasties, Pingtian Lake has accumulated a profound historical heritage.
In recent years, Chizhou City has paid attention to the careful protection and inheritance of historical and cultural heritage, allowing tourists to indulge in the beautiful scenery of lakes and mountains while also deeply appreciating the long-standing cultural charm.

Recently, the two terms "Pingtian Lake Sky Road" and "Chizhou's Sky Realm" have frequently made Pingtian Lake Scenic Area a hot search, attracting tourists from home and abroad. The average daily passenger flow on weekends has climbed to nearly 10,000. Many people brought drones and professional photography equipment to try to take pictures of the breathtakingly beautiful "Sky Road".

In particular, since the video of "Sky Road" went viral on the Internet on July 24, as of the middle of this month, online bookings from major platforms such as Ctrip and Douyin have increased by 115.8% compared with the same period last year.
As short videos are widely spread at home and abroad, international friends are also full of yearning for Pingtian Lake. On August 9, Ke Wen, the founder of Les Temps du Corps, a French Oriental Culture Communication Center, led 42 students to the Pingtian Lake Scenic Area. They said that Chizhou's ecological environment is first-class, and the scenery of Pingtian Lake is even more beautiful. Being in it makes people feel extremely comfortable.
Faced with the surging traffic, how to convert it into long-term "retention" is a key issue facing Pingtian Lake.
Taking positive actions to promote the magnificent transformation of Pingtian Lake. Chizhou City is actively planning and improving the infrastructure of Pingtian Lake, adding parking lots, optimizing traffic routes, and upgrading scenic area service facilities, and is committed to providing tourists with a safe and comfortable sightseeing environment.
We actively innovate and plan to carry out a series of colorful cultural, sports and tourism activities. The Chizhou International Marathon held in October every year has a track along the lake, with lake and mountain scenery complementing each other, bringing participants a double feast of vision and experience.
The "Qishan Pingtian Lake Natural Science and Technology Exploration Tour" study tour project, large-scale exhibition activities and various cultural performances have greatly enriched the tourists' travel experience.

The "Decision of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China on Further Comprehensively Deepening Reforms and Promoting Chinese-style Modernization" reviewed and adopted at the Third Plenary Session of the 20th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China pointed out that it is necessary to accelerate the improvement of the system and mechanism for implementing the concept that green mountains and clear waters are invaluable assets.
The transformation of Pingtian Lake is a harmonious symphony of nature and humanity, and a wonderful chapter of ecological protection and development. It not only brings huge economic and social benefits to Chizhou City, but also brings inspiration to other places: scientific planning and ecological protection are the cornerstones of sustainable development of the tourism industry, and cultural and tourism integration and innovative marketing are the key to enhancing the popularity of scenic spots. To receive traffic and retain tourists, it is necessary to improve infrastructure and service quality.

Pingtian Lake Scenic Area will continue to improve its infrastructure and enhance its reception capacity, while attaching great importance to ecological protection and cultural heritage. Chizhou City will continue to promote the integrated development of culture and tourism in Pingtian Lake, making this lake a model of harmonious coexistence between man and nature.
As long as we respect nature, protect the ecology, inherit culture and innovate services, we can achieve vigorous development of the tourism industry, let the beautiful scenery remain on earth forever, and let the fruits of development benefit the general public.
