Mazhan Street, the resident of the township government, is 23 kilometers away from the county seat. Gu Teng Road and the newly-built Fujisaka Road pass through the territory, which are the throat arteries leading to the two border ports of Yunnan, Guangxi and Autonomous Region, and also the "gateway" to the north of our county. The altitude in China is1870m, the annual average temperature is 14℃, the frost period is 132 days, the annual average rainfall is1700mm, the annual sunshine is1646h, and the average sunshine is 4.5h..

Horse station has a long history. As the name implies, the horse station is a post station for transporting caravans. The last stop of the ancient southern land Silk Road of the motherland was Tengchong. The caravan carrying silk crossed Gaoligong Mountain and entered Mazhan from Qushi via Xiangyang Bridge. At that time, the horse station market was active and the business was booming. The local people are mainly engaged in trade activities, and the people have plenty of food and clothing. Central Plains culture, western culture and science and technology formed an important place for Tengchong's early cultural and economic development. A wonderful flower in the world tourism exploration resources

Mazhan is rich in tourism resources and unique in scenery. With its profound historical and cultural heritage, unique natural landscape and human landscape, it is unparalleled in the world. The special structure of the Indian Ocean plate and the internal stress of the earth have formed the majestic Hengduan Mountain System, which has bred three volcanoes, namely, Heikongshan, Dakong Mountain and Xiaokongshan, which were formed by the Quaternary Cenozoic volcanoes in the southwest of the motherland, and there are more than 90 volcanoes in a cone dozens of kilometers around. Among them, Mazhan Volcano Group was named "Tengchong Volcano Geothermal National Geopark" by the Ministry of Land and Resources. With the passage of time. Volcanic eruption and violent crustal movement have shaped China's "best" natural wonders: craters, volcanic lakes, columnar joints and volcanic caves ... Against the blue sky, they are spectacular, with white azaleas shining like snow in spring and clouds winding like jade belts in autumn, which makes visitors amazed. It is these rich tourism resources that bring opportunities for the development of Mazhan. Mazhan Township took this opportunity to actively strive for the support of the Provincial Construction Department and was listed as one of the 20 key demonstration towns in the province. On the premise of linking the pilot project with the Provincial Construction Department, the township party committee and government paid close attention to the construction of market towns, improved their functions, actively supported the development of Tengchong Volcano Geothermal National Geopark, and won the praise of many tourists with its beautiful environment and civilized fashion.

The development of tourism has also promoted the development of local tourism products and services, especially the processing industries of volcanic rocks, limestone and silica. Among them, silicon dioxide resources are widely distributed and of high quality, and the back analysis silicon content is 99.64%; Limestone is rich in resources. According to preliminary investigation, the total reserves are at least 50 million tons, which is a good material for cement production. Volcanic rocks have hard texture, rich pores and strong plasticity. After melting at high temperature, they have no mineral radiation and are good environmental protection building materials. The foam overflowing around the crater cools to form a light and brittle pumice, which floats in the water and does not sink. Xu Xiake described: "Although it is big enough to be hugged with two fingers." Pumice is easy to carve, and it is also a high-quality material for making landscapes and handicrafts. According to statistics, the estimated reserves of volcanic rocks in Mazhan are 60.03 million cubic meters. If the original stone mining and processing capacity is 6.5438+0.5 million cubic meters per year, it can last for more than 400 years. In 2004, there were 38 individual stone processors 138 and more than 40 processing machines 140, with a total processing output value of about120,000 yuan. It can be said that volcanic rocks are great wealth given to Mazhan by volcanoes. There are many migrant workers in Mazhan Township, and the scale of labor export is huge. Coupled with the deep-rooted concept of hard struggle, many skilled craftsmen have been created, making Mazhan Township enjoy the reputation of the hometown of masons. The mining and processing of volcanic rocks has developed into a new industry in Mazhan. The processed stone tables, benches, flower boards, railings and floor tiles, wall covering and Shi Zhuan are gradually sold to various scenic tourist areas in Nujiang, Dali, Chuxiong and Kunming. To achieve the above objectives in an all-round way, we must base ourselves on the countryside, persist in hard work, be pragmatic and innovative, and focus on the following aspects.

First, do a good job in the construction of stone processing industrial park, actively attract investment and deeply develop volcanic rocks. The second is to further expand the backbone enterprises and improve the management level and quality and efficiency. The third is to accelerate the development of the tertiary industry. Actively support the further development of Tengchong Volcanic Geothermal National Park, rely on the perfect functions of market towns, focus on the construction of volcanic tourism boutique projects, and promote the development of local shops, restaurants, entertainment and other tourism products and services.

(3) building key projects and promoting infrastructure construction.

Focus on improving education, market towns, transportation, water conservancy, culture, health facilities and industrial development, accurately grasp the support policies of the central government and provinces, cities and counties, seize the opportunity, actively implement the project-driven strategy, and accelerate the pace of infrastructure construction in this township.
