Famous mountain resorts in China are important carriers for displaying the essence of Chinese culture and assisting in the construction of ecological civilization. While the positive interaction between culture and nature is an important goal of high-quality development of famous mountain resorts in China, the social construction of nature has also become a key perspective to interpret their formation and change. This study aimed to develop a theoretical analysis framework for the change of famous mountain resorts in China from the perspective of the social construction of nature to explore the processes of change and mechanisms. It proposed to explore the process logic and system logic of the change of famous mountain resorts in China from the perspective of the social construction of nature, including the production of natural values and meanings under the construction of multiple subject discourse, the social spatial practice of nature, and the feedback and response of human-environment relationships. This study also examined the interrelationships between traditional cultural roots, ancient power, and modern capital, as well as the continuous interaction with local daily life, to construct a multidimensional framework composed of the internal driving force of traditional culture, the control force of power, the transformation force of capital, and the penetration force of daily life, in order to guide the exploration of the mechanism of change of famous mountain resorts in China. Theoretically, this research attempted to bridge the social-natural dichotomy in the study of the change of the regional system of human-environment relations, broaden the perspective of research on human-environment relations, and explore the applicability of the theory of the social construction of nature on a broader scale and specific fields. It also compensated for the situational aphasia of related research on the "humanized nature" of famous mountain resorts in China, and in practice, provides a guidance and reference for realizing the sustainable development of mountain economy and society.

Rurality in the context of tourism is not only the epistemology of rural grand narrative, but also the methodology leading the practice of rural tourism development. This study analyzed the rural development process from traditional villages, rapid urbanization, to urban-rural integration, reviewed the relevant literature on rurality in China and internationally from the perspectives of rural regional functions, political economy, and overall rural construction, and analyzed rurality in the context of tourism based on the conceptual analysis logic of "element composition-basic attributes-important features". This study proposed that: Rurality in the context of tourism is the local significance of tourism's influence on the human-environment relationship in the process of rural reconstruction. From the perspective of the subjects of demand, it is reflected as tourists' cognition and emotion towards the countryside, and from the perspective of rural development, it is reflected as the result of the practice of rural tourism development carried out continuously by multiple subjects in the context of specific rural regional space. The basic attributes of economy, social and culture, nature and landscape, the regionalism of spatial dimension, the dynamic nature of time dimension, and the experience of value dimension should be understood in the relationship between "I" and "other", urban and rural, modernity and tradition, and commerciality and authenticity. This study constructed a framework of rurality concept analysis in the context of tourism, and put forward the prospect of future research at the levels of research content and methods.
