Take Ankang as an example, we explore Spatial distribution characteristics, structure and pattern of its class-A tourist attractions and make suggestions on the spatial structure adjustment, basing on mathematical and spatial statistical methods such as coefficient of variation, spatial cluster, nuclear density estimation and Zipf model. The results indicated that: 1. Spatial clustering character of Ankang class-A tourist attractions is significant and shown prominent "core-edge" spatial structure feature. 2. Tourist attractions are mainly distributed in the Yuehe plain and along the river area of Shi-Zi-Lan, forming two agglomeration centers in the both sides of Fenghuang Mountain and the central city. The pattern was shaped by regional topography features, practice of local tourism development and other factors in common. 3. The key to optimize the spatial structure of Ankang class-A tourist attractions lies in the formation of reasonable tourist attractions system and "One core two corridors three areas" regional tourism development pattern.
