作文 以下面提供的材料为依托,遵循“请示”的写作格式只要求写明标题、受文单位、正文、行文单位、成文时间,按照“请示”的写作要求,以广东省人民政府的名义,向国务院起草一份内容先后有序、结构合理的“请示”。 丹霞山风景名胜区位于广东省韶关市仁化、曲江两县境内,面积186平方公里,分丹霞山、韶石山、大石山三个景区。距韶关市区最近处10公里,最远处50公里,柏油公路直达主峰景区,观光旅游的交通十分方便。 根据国务院《风景名胜区管理条例》,我们对丹霞山风景名胜区进行了资源调查、评价,编制了总体规划。现申请把丹霞山风景名胜区列为国家重点名胜区,请审批。 据地质考证,6500万年前丹霞山所在地是一个大湖泊,由于造山运动,形成红岩峭壁和嶙峋洞穴,构成奇异自然风景。在全世界同类地形中,以丹霞山最为典型,“丹霞地貌”已成为国际地质学名词。现丹霞山景区已开发接待游人的范围为12平方公里,主要景点有87处,山、瀑、江、湖兼备,绿化良好,兼之摩崖刻、寺庵、亭台楼阁点缀其间,自然人文景观丰富。靠丹霞山南侧的韶石山景区,傍地浈水,是历史上舜帝南巡奏乐之处,内有“三十六石”的奇景;丹霞山两侧的大石山景区,类似丹霞山的奇山异峰,有丹寨幽洞、岩柱等自然景观。在丹霞山风景名胜区附近,有“金鸡岭”、“九龙十八滩”、“古佛岩”、“南华寺”、“马坝人遗址”等风景及名胜古迹,总面积约4万平方公里。目前,粤北地区以丹霞山风景名胜区为中心形成了我省一条重要的旅游线。
