Chinanews noticed that after Kaifeng's "Wang Po" became popular, during this year's "May Day", many places launched a new form of "blind date + cultural tourism".
For example, in Guangxi, the Miao people have always retained the traditional custom of "fighting horses to choose sons-in-law", and Zhou Weijun, director of the Culture, Sports, Radio, Television and Tourism Bureau of Rongshui Miao Autonomous County, introduced that the Miao Village Scenic Area in Rongshui has always had a blind date tourism project. The form of "tourism + blind date" allows young people to choose their partners in a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere, which is a new embodiment of the integration and empowerment of culture and tourism.
In Shanghai, the "May Day" holiday coincides with the "May Five-Year Shopping Festival", and many business districts combine blind dates with markets, bringing new ways of playing and new experiences to local citizens and foreign tourists.
Shanghai Longhua Club is the first block business in Shanghai facing a thousand-year-old temple. This year's "May Day", Longhua Club has developed the IP of the cultural tour market - Longhua Miaohui, to create a single and friendly "marriage market", with two "marriage corners" in the whole venue, creating opportunities for friends who are looking for the other half of the "match".

Young people take the initiative for love
The "May Day" blind date focuses on a sense of relaxation
In addition to scenic spots, many travel agencies and camping bases have also smelled the business opportunities in the matter of young people's "making friends", and have launched single travel parties, hiking and other forms to attract willing young people.
On the first day of the May Day holiday, Ms. Wu attended a bachelorette party held at a camping base. At the party, Ms. Wu meets the man who has caught her eye, and the two are already planning to spend the next few days of the holiday together. "It's a good atmosphere, and the people who come to participate are young people with similar personalities and hobbies, so it's easy to talk to each other. She said.
Ms. Wu, 32 years old this year, told Chinanews that in recent years, her family has often urged her to marry, and this year's Spring Festival, the family also arranged a blind date for her. In her opinion, the probability of success of the Spring Festival blind date is not high, on the one hand, the family may not know much about the type she likes, and on the other hand, it will involve issues such as the two parties being in different places.

In addition, some outdoor activity businesses and travel agencies have also launched forms such as self-driving tours for making friends, and a merchant told Chinanews.com that this kind of outdoor activity with the purpose of making friends will indicate that it is for single people when registering, and ask for more specific personal information, such as age, hometown, education and industry. Destinations are also often arranged with scenic spots, so that young people can get to know each other in a relaxed atmosphere and strengthen their relationship.
Mr. Zhang, a man from Nanjing, Jiangsu Province, signed up for a holiday hiking group to Huangshan in Anhui Province a week before the start of May Day. In the end, Mr. Zhang was arranged to depart at the end of the holiday, departing on May 4 and returning on May 5.
"I didn't expect that there would be so many people who signed up, and everyone may have left the unfinished relatives of the Spring Festival to 'May Day'. Mr. Zhang said with a smile. (ENDS)
