A group of Thai tourists recently visited the Langshan Mountain Scenic Area in Xinning County, Shaoyang City, Hunan Province, embarking on an immersive cultural tourism experience. They admired the UNESCO World Natural Heritage Danxia landforms (red-rock landscape), and explored the "Crested Ibis-Rice" distinctive ecological co-culture system, getting a firsthand experience of Langshan Mountain’s natural charm and the local achievements in ecological development.

Langshan Mountain is the center of the Zhangjiajie–Langshan–Guilin cross-provincial golden tourism corridor, renowned both domestically and internationally for its unique Danxia landforms and pristine natural environment. The Thai tourists visited core landmark attractions such as Bajiaozhai and Chili Peak, captivated by the magnificent and picturesque natural scenery. The visitors eagerly took out their phones to capture the moments, full of praise for Langshan Mountain's exceptional tourism resources.

The Thai tourists also visited a crested ibis-ecological rice processing plant in Yaoshi Village in Langshan Township, getting a close-up view of the entire "Crested Ibis-Rice" industry chain from field to workshop to table. Leveraging the excellent ecological foundation of the Zhangjiajie–Langshan–Guilin area, local authorities have innovatively promoted ecological farming models such as "one ibis section in the field" (setting aside about 66.7 sqm per mu of paddy field for ibises) and "rice-fish co-culture" systems, cultivating plump, soft, fragrant, and healthy Crested Ibis rice, which the Thai tourists bought enthusiastically.
