With the arrival of the Qingming Festival holiday, the Taihao Mausoleum Temple Fair in Zhoukou, Henan, which has lasted for more than a month, ushered in the final climax. The highest number of participants in a single day exceeded 800,000, setting a Guinness World Record and the largest scale in China.
The courier brother from the Huaiyang District outlet of Shentong Express has become a "dart master" who guarantees the courier service during the temple fair. They raced against time during the time period when the temple fair was less crowded, and sent Zhoukou's local special products such as compressed buns and cloth tigers to consumers all over the country.

Resetting the "biological clock" for the temple fair
At about 5 o'clock in the morning, before dawn, Cao Cuncai, the courier brother of the Huaiyang District outlet, came to the outlet to sort the packages and prepare for delivery. That's more than an hour ahead of his usual sorting time. Not only him, in order to ensure the delivery service during the Taihao Mausoleum temple fair, all the Shentong brothers have reset their "biological clocks".
The Taihao Mausoleum temple fair lasts from the second day of the second lunar month to the third day of March every year. During the period, in order to ensure the smooth holding of the event, strict traffic management was implemented within 3 kilometers of the Taihao Mausoleum Scenic Area. Shentong Huaiyang District outlets can only rely on a few passes to enter the Taihao Mausoleum Scenic Area and the surrounding areas for distribution and collection.

In order to better ensure the delivery timeliness, the outlets in Huaiyang District adopt the "wolf pack tactics" to break the whole into zero, enter the Taihao Mausoleum Scenic Area and the surrounding areas in batches when the flow of people is small, and seize the precious window period for distribution and collection, especially to help tourists send home the special souvenirs such as compressed buns they have just bought.
Cao Cuncai said that he was very proud to see that the specialties of his hometown were liked by so many people. "Tourists want to trust us, and we have a responsibility to protect their souvenirs and send them home as soon as possible. In order to make crispy foods such as compressed buns as intact as possible during transportation, Cao Cuncai prepared his own packaging materials such as bubble column bags and provided them to tourists for free.
"We also want to make a scenery in Zhoukou"
Zheng Xijun, the person in charge of the relevant business of Huaiyang District outlets, said that as an enterprise in Huaiyang District, the company also hopes to add luster to Zhoukou cultural tourism with express delivery services. In order to be more integrated into the atmosphere of the temple fair, the outlets imitated the dart flags of the ancient express to decorate the express vehicles distributed in the scenic area, and gorgeously transformed into the ancient "dart game".
Zheng Xijun said: "As a member of Zhoukou's service industry, on the basis of good service, we also hope to become a scenery of Zhoukou through our own efforts, so that foreign tourists can feel our historical and cultural accumulation and warm and courteous folk customs in Henan, so that more customers can feel the service ability of Shentong Haokuai Province." ”
