After forty years’ development，China’s scenic spots have played an important role in the strategic protection of the natural and cultural landscapes in China. The issues such as the distortion of the public-interest mechanism，the fictitious national ownership，the imperfect operation mechanism，and the defective planning and supervision systems in the process of scenic spot management are mainly attributable to the failure in systematic public regulations，which has serious impact on the upgrading of the operation formats. In the current process of establishing the protected area system with national parks as the backbone，it is necessary to fully draw on the lessons from the above management experiences，adhere to the guiding role of national benefits and the basic value orientation of comprehensive public interest；adhere to the priority of rule of law construction and realize the strategic protection of national representative resources；adhere to the green development and set up scientific and efficient franchise mechanisms；and facilitate the participation of all people，as well as both the ecological supervision and market supervision.
