Summary
How to cite this paper: Qin, J.X., Zhang, P., Deng, G.P. and Chen, L. (2014) A Study on Eco-Tourism and Sustainable Development of Economic Underdevelopment Areas—An Example from Kanas Nature Reserve, Xingjiang Province, Northwest China. Kanas Nature Reserve is the only distribution area of European/Siberian flora and fauna in China It mainly consists of Siberian mountain conifers. The forest coverage rate is 19.4% and the rate reaches 82% in forest land This area has the most kinds of plants in temperate grassland and has the only Taiga landscape, it is of great value for protection and scientific research. The special climatic conditions, the location in the hinterland of the Eurasian continent, far from the sea, the high latitude, distinct altitude difference and complicated terrain result in the divergence in climate compared with neighboring regions and the obvious vertical zoning and horizontal zoning This leads to the staggered distribution of vegetation vertical band and the forest and pasture on the Yin and Yang slopes, which is a typical representative of the cold temperate climate. The Tuvans’ sleighs pulled by horses are still active on the vast snow land
