Abstract: Taking 82 ice and snow scenic spots in Sichuan province as the research object, through spatial analysis related models, using ArcGIS 10.2 spatial analysis tools, the spatial distribution characteristics of Sichuan ice and snow tourist scenic spots were analyzed in detail from three aspectsSpatial distribution type, distribution core and distribution cause. The results show that the ice and snow tourism scenic spot in Sichuan province is a cohesive distribution, and the spatially high-concentration area is in the transition zone between the western Sichuan and Sichuan Basins. The overall spatial pattern is represented by the nuclear-intense belt in the northwestern margin of the Sichuan Basin. It is the first-second level step of the Chinese terrain at the boundary of Sichuan province and coincides with the Sichuan section of the HU Huan-yong Line, the contrast line of China's population density; topographic conditions and climate constraints, economic radiation in the Sichuan Basin, and construction of transportation facilities are important factors influencing the spatial pattern of ice and snow tourism in Sichuan province. Based on this, suggestions for space optimization and environmental protection are put forward.
