  【菏泽是底蕴厚重的千年古城】
 
  菏泽,古称曹州,位于山东省西南部,鲁苏豫皖四省交界地带。相传是伏羲之桑梓,尧舜之故里,《史记》中记载为“天下之中”。早在7000多年前的北辛文化时期,上古先民就在这里繁衍生息。历经数千年积淀,菏泽形成了以非遗为主要内容,以戏曲、书画、武术、民间艺术“四乡文化”为品牌的多彩文化。这里的地方戏曲博大精深,民间曲艺精妙绝伦,民间音乐如珠似玉,民间舞蹈古朴厚重,民间武术雄浑大气,全市国家级非遗项目31项,是名副其实的“非遗大市”。菏泽是水浒故事的发源地,“水浒一百单八将,七十二名在郓城”,郓城水浒好汉城、宋江湖等景区,已成为重要景点和研学旅行基地。菏泽是革命老区,曾是“冀鲁豫边区根据地”的首府,是解放战争战略大反攻战役的起始地,是冀鲁豫边区干部南下的出发地。您来这里,可以探寻华夏祖源,感受传统文化,寻访初心使命。
 
  【菏泽是名甲天下的牡丹之都】
 
  菏泽牡丹甲天下,牡丹是菏泽最靓丽的城市名片。菏泽牡丹栽培始于隋,兴于唐宋,盛于明清,以花大、型美、色艳著称。目前种植面积48.6万亩,拥有曹州牡丹园、中国牡丹园、百花园等10多个观赏园区,是世界上最大的牡丹繁育、观赏、研发和输出基地。每年谷雨时节,菏泽大地上牡丹次第绽放,千姿百态,争奇斗艳,好似人间仙境。1200多个牡丹品种,生动诠释了“千片赤英霞烂烂,百枝绛点灯煌煌”的热烈与繁盛。您来这里,可以亲身感受“绝代只西子,众芳唯牡丹”的美艳绝伦。
 
  【菏泽是黄河入鲁第一站】
 
  九曲黄河在菏泽境内蜿蜒185公里,黄河水养育了菏泽人,造就了菏泽人淳朴、厚道、诚信、担当的优良品格,和不甘落后、顽强执着、奋勇争先、艰苦创业的强大气魄。如今,黄河沿线和黄河故道已成为一条生态绿色长廊,单县浮龙湖旅游度假区、东明黄河森林公园、曹县黄河故道湿地公园如颗颗明珠装点其间,吸引着越来越多的游客纷至沓来。
 
  当前,我们树立“以文促旅、以旅彰文、和合共生”理念,找准文化和旅游最大公约数、最佳连接点,推动文化旅游多方位、全链条深度融合,形成资源共享、优势互补、协同并进的发展新优势。菏泽正以崭新的面貌,昂扬的姿态,在加快新旧动能转换,实现高质量发展中阔步前进!
