Abstract:Based on the “Two-step Road” platform, GPS trajectory data and location photo shooting data are crawled. Combined with the spatial distribution of water system, GIS kernel density and neighbor analysis are used to study the temporal and spatial behavior characteristics of tourists in Lijiang River Scenic Area. The results show that autumn and winter are the peak seasons of tourism in Lijiang River Scenic Area, and the number of tourists' activities increases greatly during festivals. The number of tourists' trajectories and the number of photographs taken during the day show a bimodal pattern. It is the active period of tourists in the day from 11:00 to 18:00. The shooting points are mainly concentrated in Jiuma Painting Mountain, Lijiang River Scenic Area and Xiangbi Mountain Scenic Area. The Lijiang scenic area formed a pointline-surface network tour system by taking the Lijiang River environment as the support, the scenic spots as the carrier, and the water system as the skeleton, in which the temporal and spatial behavior characteristics of tourists are affected by climate change, landscape characteristics, route richness and landscape preference. Based on the research results, some optimization suggestions are put forward, such as enriching the way of sightseeing and optimizing the spatial structure of tourism.
