Abstract: Spatial structure of tourist attraction system has effects on spatial layout of regional infrastructures as well as the optimization and adjustment of regional spatial structure. Based on the fractal theory, this article studies the spatial structure of class-A tourist attraction system in Urumqi. Taking the Tianshan Grand Canyon (the only class-5A tourist attraction) as center to measure the aggregation dimension as well as the spatial correlation dimension based on crow distance and cow distance. This article indicates the following results:There are double fractal characteristics in the spatial structure of class-A tourist attraction system in Urumqi. In general, there is an aggregate distribution, and the distribution density decays rapidly from the center to the surrounding areas. In the evolution of the spatial structure, multi-center pattern may occur. The spatial structure of the tourist attraction system has a trend of self-organization optimization. Although there are strong traffic correlations among tourist attractions, the transportation network is not adequate enough. Based on these, the article proposes few recommendations to help shape tourism spatial network system by developing polycentric collaborative model, building theme sight-seeing spots, and creating high-quality self-driving routes.
