本文按开发历史、区位条件、知名度和运营现状,将目前分布于中国各省、市、自治区的403处旅游洞穴分为历史名洞、经典名洞、新式洞穴、起步洞穴四大类,将它们的开发模式总结为无主题式和主题式两大类型,并简要概括各自的内涵、特征和演变,认为它们是洞穴旅游在特定阶段的产物,其中前者经历了旅游洞穴漫长的开发历史,曾对促进洞穴旅游的发展和繁荣起了非常重要的作用,而后者将是洞穴旅游的主要发展趋势之一。然后按主题式开发的基本流程,以广西巴马百么洞为例,将其景观分为六大类,通过与国内其它同类洞穴景观及与周边类似洞穴景观的对比,概括其资源特色;并结合其市场条件,将开发主题定格为"大气、霸气和灵气",提出"一心二线二核三重三配"的功能布局,有针对性设计出独具百么洞特色的景名体系、景观设计、灯光设计及旅游产品体系和游览路线。
There are 403 show caves distributed in each province,municipality,and autonomous region in China.In terms of the history of cave exploitation,location conditions,public awareness,and current operation conditions of each cave,we defined them as four types,i.e.,historic famous cave,classical famous cave,new-style cave,and initial cave.Two major types of show cave development mode and their respective connotation,characteristics,and evolution were summarized,i.e.,the non-theme and themed development.The non-theme development corresponds to morphological characteristics of cave landscapes and the traditional culture of China,which has experienced a long history and played a very important role in development and prosperity of cave tourism.The themed development has a characteristic,evident,united theme which is identical to specific cave.A series of tour activities and marketing campaign would be staged encircling this theme.We considered that the themed development would be the main trends of cave tourism development.Then,according to the basic flow of the themed development,we investigated Guangxi Bama baimo cave and classified its sight resources into 6 categories.By comparing and contrasting with other homogeneous cave landscapes and caves in China,we summarized the characteristics of its resources,i.e.,1) its different types of stalactites that has tremendous dimensions and unique shape is rare scarcity;2) its grandiose cave body and hall are uncommon;and 3) its "cave+tiankeng+cave" space structure is unique.By combining the characteristics of its resources and market condition together,we defined the theme of the baimo cave development as "the grand scenes,arbitrariness,and nimbus",put forward its "one-two-two-three-three" function composition,i.e.,one tourist center,two main tourist routes (including one core and one secondary route),two core areas of unfolding the theme (i.e.,area of the seraglio of lion king and area of mysterious mountain),three important area of unfolding the
