　　The National Archaeological Site Park carries history and culture, and camping is synonymous with trendy and internet celebrities.

How can two words that seem incompatible with each other be combined?

Why was the first Yangtze River Delta Camping Conference held in the National Archaeological Site Park in 2022?

　　As the birthplace of the concept of "lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets", Anji, Zhejiang has developed rural tourism, and the camping business continues to heat up. There are more than 30 standardized camps and more than 8,000 tents.

In the past "May 1st" holiday, Anji received about 25,000 camping tourists, driving tourism consumption of nearly 200 million yuan. The "Yangtze River Delta Camping Paradise" brand is being launched in Anji.

　　The Anji Ancient City Archaeological Site Park is the first and currently the only archaeological site park in China that has introduced social forces to participate in the protection and utilization of cultural relics.

Archaeology, research and tourism are its main cultural and tourism industries.

　　Camping and ruins go hand in hand.

In this way, the large lawn of the ruins park welcomed the tent caravan, and the best songs were also sung here.

　　Ke Anshun, deputy director of the Anji County Ancient City Ruins Protection Center, said that the construction model of the Anji Ancient City Archaeological Site Park is government-led, social investment, and expert control, that is, the property rights of the site park belong to the government, and the government has led the preparation of the overall plan for the protection and utilization of large sites, and the site park. Planning; all construction and operation are under the responsibility of Zhejiang Green County Company; cultural and museum experts are invited as consultants.

　　Government-led, ensuring the state-owned attributes of cultural relics; the participation of social capital has activated the “sleeping” cultural relics resources and spawned a series of themed tourism products; Wang Wei, chairman of the Chinese Archaeological Society, and professors of the School of Archaeology and Museology, Peking University, Liangzhu Museum Dean Xu Tianjin and other 17 experts joined in to "gate" the construction of the site park and prevent it from becoming an ordinary playground or park.

　　"The implementation of this model can not only effectively relieve the financial pressure of the government, but also introduce advanced management talents, market experience and competition mechanism in the field of cultural relics protection and utilization, injecting fresh vitality into the heritage and utilization of heritage sites," said Ke Anshun.

　　Today, here, tourists can not only participate in the Great Hall of Archaeology, experience archaeology beside the Bamudun site, but also enjoy the comfort of camping.

　　The reporter also noticed that because the main management team of the cooperative company—Zhejiang Green County Co., Ltd. is from the Greentown system, it has rich experience in real estate design, and has strict quality control and requirements. Therefore, the site park is properly designed and the environment is pleasant. There are idyllic landscapes with crisscrossed fields and open lawns with green grass, where museums and resort hotels are dotted.

　　Zhejiang Green County Company is responsible for the daily operation of the site park. Its chairman, Sun Caixia, said that it is a cultural tourism complex that integrates the functions of historical relics exhibition and protection, archaeological research and education, pastoral landscape recreation, and outdoor sports group building.

　　In particular, the Jiumu Songfeng Camping Base set up in the park is deeply in line with the current people's camping needs.

It is reported that the Jiumu Songfeng Camping Base has a multi-functional club of more than 300 square meters and 26 air-conditioned rooms with independent bathrooms.

Visitors only need to bring their belongings, and they can go to a natural appointment where they fall asleep with the stars, and are awakened by birdsong and sunshine.

This also makes Anji Ancient City Archaeological Site Park more compatible with the Yangtze River Delta Camping Conference.

　　Since 2020, Xu Tianjin has devoted himself to compiling the exhibition outline of the Anji Ancient City Ruins Museum, carefully planning the "Archaeological University" research project, and making suggestions for the later operation of the Ruins Park.

　　How to make cultural heritage "live"?

He feels that in addition to building research and camping sites, the operation team still has a lot to go.

For example, can the catering service of the heritage park have more cultural connotations, can we design Yueguo tableware, or even launch a Yueguo feast, so as to truly "live" the cultural heritage displayed in the green waters and lush mountains.
