Ancient villages and towns tourism plays a crucial part in adjustment of economic structure and national economy.However, as the dynamic development of tourism in our country, it takes its toll on ancient village and town, mainly including a great waste of human, material and finance caused by following the old road of"pollute first, administer after", increasing exasperation of eco-environment along witn extinction threat caused by excessive destroy and low-efficient protection, gradual assimilation of national culture and vandalization of ancient buildings.
