Approaching the peak season of May Day travel, the wind and rain weather in many places in China has made it difficult for travelers who want to travel. In fact, according to the latest news from the Meteorological Bureau, there are still many areas where the weather can make people feel at ease during the holiday. The reporter synthesized data from China Weather Network, Ctrip platform and other data to dig out the "little sun" cities during the May Day holiday for travel reference.
Where doesn't it rain on May Day?
Most of the northern parts have little rainfall, and the weather in Yunnan and Hainan is hot
According to the news of China Weather Network on April 29, during the May Day holiday, Xinjiang, Inner Mongolia, Heilongjiang, western Gansu, western Qinghai and other places have scarce rain during the holiday, and the temperature is generally higher than that of the same period in normal years, which is conducive to travel. Beijing, Tianjin, Hebei, Henan, Shandong, Shaanxi, Jilin, Liaoning, Jiangsu, Anhui and other places have good weather in the early part of the holiday. The weather in Yunnan, Hainan and other places is hotter, such as Haikou, the maximum temperature during the holiday is mostly above 30 °C.
According to incomplete statistics from Ctrip, many popular destinations do not rain for 4-5 days during the May Day holiday. Including Harbin, Shenyang and Dalian in the northeast, Beijing, Tianjin, Hohhot and Zhengzhou in North China, Jinan, Qingdao and Yantai in East China, Urumqi and Yinchuan in the northwest, Kunming in the southwest, Sanya and Haikou in South China, etc.
The popularity of these "little sun" cities has also risen significantly in recent days. Ctrip data shows that the cumulative search popularity of the above cities in the past week has increased by more than 30% month-on-month. Among them, the popularity of Hohhot has risen by 470%, and the popularity of Harbin, Beijing, and Tianjin has increased by more than 30%.
Travelers also proved their yearning for a sunny holiday with practical actions. On the Ctrip platform, in the past week, the number of hotel holiday orders in Sanya increased by 130% month-on-month, the order volume in Urumqi increased by 90% month-on-month, and Kunming, Tianjin, Beijing and other places increased to varying degrees. It is worth mentioning that at present, the fares of many routes destined for "Little Sun" cities have dropped significantly compared with the same period last month, and passengers who want to "pick up" the good weather can start in time. For example, the average price of one-way tax-included flights between Shanghai and Sanya in the past week decreased by 60% month-on-month, and the average prices of Xiamen-Beijing, Chengdu-Jinan, and Shanghai-Dalian routes all decreased by more than 30% month-on-month.
In addition, since the overall weather during the May Day holiday is more sunny in the northern region, the willingness of tourists to go to the north is also obvious. For example, most of the most popular destinations on Ctrip's platform are northern cities, including Xining, Lanzhou, Dunhuang, Urumqi, Yining, Altay, Hohhot, Ulanqab, etc. Qinggan Ring Road, Xinjiang Ring Road, Hohhot Grassland Ring Road, etc. are very popular. A trip to the wilderness of the north is not to be disappointed.
Where can I play when it rains?
The hotel is a one-stop vacation, a museum, and a guide tells stories
A relaxing vacation in a hotel is also a good choice to shelter from the rain on May Day. In East China and South China, where the probability of precipitation is high during the holiday, in addition to Guangzhou, Changsha and other places with strong convective weather and need to pay attention to early warnings, Chengdu, Chongqing, Nanjing, Wuhan and other cities have increased holiday hotel orders in the past week to varying degrees. At present, users can also see some popular hotel recommendations in the "Little Sun" city on the "May Day Destination Recommendation" page of Ctrip Hotel.
In addition, the museum is also a great place to escape the rain and enjoy a clean holiday. Up to now, the number of bookings for museum tourism products has increased by 14% year-on-year in Ctrip's local guide orders during the May Day holiday, and popular destinations include Shaanxi History Museum, Beijing National Museum, Guanghan Sanxingdui Museum, Luoyang Museum, and Hubei Provincial Museum, among which the "May Day" bookings of Guanghan Sanxingdui Museum increased by nearly 3% year-on-year. It is also great to listen to the local guide's witty and in-depth explanations to let visitors understand the history and stories behind the cultural relics, and to hide from the rain with the "national treasures".
