The synergy between nature and tourism in Sanmenxia exemplifies sustainable practices, promoting environmental conservation while supporting the local economy. As the swans settle in their new home, they symbolize a harmonious balance between human activity and wildlife preservation, making Sanmenxia a model for other regions aiming to achieve similar harmony.
