Zhaxi Cairang, Deputy Secretary of the Communist Party of China Huangnan Prefecture Committee and Governor, pointed out that Huangnan should take advantage of the situation, polish the "golden signboard" of the World Geopark, develop the cultural and tourism industry comprehensively and with high quality, and create a new landmark of cultural and tourism in Qinghai.
