Why are the tourist service centers in scenic areas nowadays located so far away from the actual scenic spots? Tourists cannot reach the scenic area directly; they must first transfer to a vehicle provided by the area in order to get there. Is this done for environmental reasons?
Firstly, there are financial considerations that force one to opt for paid entrance fees. Ticket prices in tourist attractions are monitored by the price control authorities, so they cannot be increased easily. However, with paid entrance fees, the market is monopolized, and the pricing is not negotiable; in some cases, these fees are even comparable to the ticket prices. Secondly, in terms of environmental protection, when traveling to scenic spots, electric vehicles or other similar modes of transport are generally chosen, which indeed results in significantly lower carbon emissions compared to using tour buses to get directly to the attractions. Thirdly, safety: many scenic areas are located in remote mountains, and the winding roads there are driven by experienced drivers, which increases the safety factor.
Another point is that it can create job opportunities and enable targeted poverty alleviation.
Actually, some mountain roads are quite nice; it’s just that today’s tourism is of a fast-food style, something that is seen in passing only

Yes, the roads have changed a lot, and their appearance has also changed significantly
