當美麗成為一種資源，會產生怎樣美麗的反應？

歷來，“花”就是美麗的代名詞。在重慶，不論春夏秋冬，都有各種各樣名目繁多的節日應“花”而生。

1997年，九龍坡區走馬鎮利用當地金鳳村滿山的桃花，在全市率先舉辦桃花節，并請來歌唱家蔣大為，在開幕式上演唱《在那桃花盛開的地方》。走馬桃花節一炮而紅，走馬鎮的名氣也跟著大了起來。

隨后，各地又有“菜花節”“梨花節”“荷花節”等等相繼誕生，有的地方甚至花開四季，季季有節。

有花就有葉。那巫山的紅葉城口的彩葉，同樣吸引著人們從四面八方來到大山深處，去見證最絢爛的秋天。

曾經只是作為農作物的油菜花，曾經寂寞深山無人知的紅葉，一旦和旅游結合在一起，便產生出了不一樣的社會影響和經濟效益，使它們成為當地生態旅游、文化旅游的名片，帶動了一系列相關產業的發展。

What beautiful chemistry will we have when the beauty becomes a resource?

Historically, "flower" is the synonym of beauty. In Chongqing, there are various festivals associated with"flowers" regardless of seasons.

With mountains of peach flowers in Jinfeng Village,Zouma Town in Jiulongpo District held a Peach Flower Festival in the city for the first time in 1997 and also invited the singer Jiang Dawei who performed A Place Where Peach Flowers blossom on the opening ceremony of the festival.Peach Flower Festival in Zouma became an instant hit and Zouma Town therefore grew more popular.

Other festivals like "Cauliflower Festival", "Pear Festival" and "Lotus Festival" came on the heels of Peach Flower Festival. In some places, as flowers blossom in four seasons, relevant festivals can be found in every season.

Wherever there is a flower, there is a leaf. The colorful leaves at the Chengkou of Wushan also draw visitors from all parts of the world to remote mountains to catch a glimpse of the most splendid Autumn.

The cauliflower, which was seen only as a crop, and the little-known red leaves in remote mountains, have brought different social impacts and economic benefits after being integrated with tourism. Now they have become the icons of the local eco-tourism and cultural tourism, giving a strong boost to the development of a series of related industries.

種下梨樹待花開，曾經荒山變成“金山銀山”

Waiting for Pear Flowers to Bloom After Planting Them,Turing Barren Mountains into “Valuable Assets”

每年二月底到三月初，渝北區茨竹鎮放牛坪景區內，萬畝高山梨園的梨花便迎著春光，競相綻放。遠遠望去，一團團、一簇簇的花瓣，將萬畝梨園裝扮成花的海洋。無論是“梨花千樹雪”，還是“一樹梨花一溪月”，梨花都已成為放牛坪景區獨特的春日請柬。對于當地老百姓來說，這片梨樹的果實與花，梨園里的一物一景所帶來的，是他們生活的希望和變化。

上世紀80年代，放牛坪村還是一片荒山。時任社長的陳安闊想種果樹掙點“油鹽錢”，便請當時西南農學院的專家前來考察，最終確定了種植梨樹的規劃。……
