Spatial distribution evolution and accessibility of A-level scenic spots in Guangdong Province from the perspective of quantitative geography.

As a typical representative of tourism resources, the spatial distribution of A-level scenic spots has a profound impact on the layout of tourism industry. Scenic spot accessibility is also important for the development of tourism. However, the relationship of regional accessibility and spatial dist...
