Spring Festival tourism reproduces the "people from the crowd": the small bridge in the scenic spot becomes a "human bridge", and the museum tickets are full
On February 11, the second day of the Lunar New Year, tourists from all over the country were weaving, ushering in a tourism boom.
Qunar data shows that the Spring Festival holiday has been extended, and many tourists choose to return to their hometowns + travel "1+1" mode to spend the Spring Festival. In previous years, there was no trough in the middle of the festival, but more passengers departed on the second day of the Lunar New Year than on other days during the festival. Most of the tourists go out to see after visiting relatives on the second day of the Lunar New Year.
On the same day, the surging news (www.thepaper.cn) reporter saw in a "net red" scenic spot in Taizhou City, Zhejiang Province, that a lot of picnic mats were laid on the beach near the sea, tents were set up on the beach, and the "pink beach" enclosed in the beach was full of tourists. A tourist who lives nearby told The Paper that when he came to play on New Year's Day, the number of people on the pink beach was "less than one-third of what it is today." The tourist said: "People from the surrounding districts and counties have come by car. ”
