With the development of forest tourism, Color-leaf forest has gradually become one of the most popular tourism destination. Based on related researches about forest landscape evaluation, this paper takes Jinyang village as the research object, which is known as the “Western Ginkgo No. 1 Village”, to conduct scenic beauty evaluation (SBE) on different scales of the same landscape. The result shows that the landscape outside the forest is affected by terrain changes, overall landscape combination, landscape contrast, human landscape, and human activities; the landscape inside the forest is affected by diameter, color of the leaves, composition and density of the forest, and leaf coverage. The results will provide some references for the practice of forest landscape planning in China.

This study uses the travel cost method (TCM) and the tourism market demand curve to evaluate the recreational value of the Color-leaf forest resources in Bipeng Valley Scenic Spot at the first time, which contributes to the utilization and management of the Color-leaf forest resources, and also discusses the importance and value of forestry resources. The results show that the research value of the research and development of the Color-leaf forest resources was 1567.48 million Yuan, which is 13 times the actual income of the Bipeng Valley Scenic Spot. It means scenic spot should avoid idle resources, improve its product mix and protect the Color-leaf forest resources to realize the sustainable use of forest resources of arid and semi-arid area of sichuan province.
