Analysis on the environment of cultural relic as tourist attraction--take Yungang Grottoes as an example

Balancing cultural heritage protection with sustainable tourism development is critical for sites like the Yungang Grottoes. This study highlights that while tourism drives economic growth and cultural exchange, it also poses significant risks to relic preservation due to environmental pressures and simplistic restoration practices. The research emphasizes the need for coordinated strategies that prioritize both the protection of cultural assets and their sustainable utilization as tourist attractions. By analyzing the Yungang Grottoes, the study underscores the challenges faced by heritage sites in modern urbanization processes, advocating for a more nuanced approach to heritage management that integrates conservation with tourism benefits.
