Starting from November, primary and secondary schools in more than 100 cities across the country have begun their autumn vacation, which has set the autumn and winter cultural tourism market on fire. Many families have planned travel itineraries in advance, and bookings for train tickets and air tickets have also increased simultaneously.
Wang Ting, conductor at Yangzhou Station: "The more popular directions are Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Xi'an, Zhengzhou, Nanjing, and Xuzhou, especially the direction to Beijing, because more children go to Beijing to study."
In addition to railways, air travel is also favored by citizens, and many families are setting their sights on South China.
Zhao Shike, head of the Yangzhou branch of an airline company: "Xiamen, for example, is still popular with young parents and children. There is another tourist destination that has seen a particularly obvious rise in popularity in the past two days, namely Zhuhai Chimelong. For young tourists who prefer delicious food, Chaoshan is also a good choice."
Railways and civil aviation reminded that the passenger flow during the autumn holiday is relatively concentrated. It is recommended to plan the itinerary in advance and pay attention to ticketing trends in a timely manner.
Autumn vacation system implemented for the first time, study tours and parent-child tours are heating up
This autumn semester is the first time that primary and secondary schools in Hainan have implemented the autumn break system. Many students walked out of the classroom, and study tours and parent-child tours became more popular.
The autumn break for primary and secondary schools in Hainan is not a unified time for the whole province, but is independently arranged and determined by each city and county based on the teaching progress.
Taking advantage of the autumn break, many students and parents also set their sights on study tours. Some travel agencies in Haikou have launched research activities with various themes.
Zhang Wei, the person in charge of a travel agency: "For example, industrial research, marine research, aerospace science research, and tropical rainforest research, people prefer aerospace research, and registration for such projects is very popular."
Free admission to scenic spots, study tours are heating up
Autumn vacation is here, and many scenic spots have released preferential policies intensively. In Huangshan, Anhui, 15 4A-level and above scenic spots have launched ticket-free discounts, and sightseeing tours have also upgraded to immersive cultural studies.
From November 1st to 30th, Huangshan City’s 15 4A-level or above toll-paying scenic spots are free of charge for young people under the age of 18 nationwide except for commercial research teams, covering core popular scenic spots such as Huangshan Scenic Area, Xidi, Hongcun, Qiyun Mountain, and Taiping Lake. Among them, policies for Huangshan Scenic Area, Huashan Mystery Cave, and Taiping Lake have been extended to December 31, allowing people to enjoy the benefits of enjoying the scenery in the golden autumn and watching the snow in the winter.
Walking into Xidi Ancient Village, you can see the colorful forests and the ancient bluestone lanes with tourists coming and going. Many parents bring their children to admire the ancient buildings and appreciate the Huizhou culture. Relying on Huizhou cultural resources, the local government has upgraded the sightseeing tour into an immersive cultural study experience, allowing tourists to get up close and personal with the thousand-year-old Huizhou culture among the mountains, rivers and ancient buildings.
Free admission to many scenic spots attracts tourists to experience the beauty of Tibet
The autumn vacation has also boosted the popularity of cross-regional tourism, and the ninth round of "Winter Tour to Tibet" has recently launched. During the event, many A-level tourist attractions in Tibet implemented a ticket-free policy.
On the Potala Palace Square, tourists gathered in small groups, taking photos to freeze the autumn scenery of the plateau.
Opposite the Potala Palace, the National Unity Park has clear clear water, evergreen pines and cypresses, fiery apricot leaves, and swaying yellow willows, which outlines the autumn picture of the plateau, and groups of tourists are strolling by the lake.
As the autumn holidays begin one after another, the popularity of many scenic spots in Tibet is steadily rising. In the grassland of Jiali County, Nagqu City, the local area continues to improve supporting services along the route, and the number of tourists has increased significantly. Linzhi's Basongcuo Scenic Area receives an average of 1,900 tourists a day, an increase of more than 1.5 times compared with before the implementation of the policy.
