Chinese Spring Festival 2021: Southern Tourists Flock to the North for New Year Celebrations

CCTV news:During the Spring Festival holiday, many tourists choose to go out to celebrate the New Year. The reporter learned from the State Railway Shenyang Bureau that in previous years, more tourists from the north went to the south, accounting for about 70%, while fewer tourists from the south went to the north, accounting for about 30%. This year, more and more people are choosing to travel to celebrate the New Year. In popular tourist cities such as Shenyang, Changchun, Dalian, Changbai Mountain, and Yanji, train occupancy rates have basically reached 100%, with tourists from the south accounting for more than 60%. Tourists from the north and the south travel across regions and in both directions to experience a different flavor of the New Year.

Hongfeng Village, Erdaobaihe Town, Antu County, at the foot of Changbai Mountain in Jilin Province. This winter, there are several times more southern tourists coming here than in previous years.

Yunnan tourist Man Danping:I came from Dali, Yunnan, and it was my first time to come to the Northeast. I just wanted to take my children to experience the coldness of the Northeast.

During the interview, the reporter found that the increasingly convenient transportation is an important reason why southern tourists choose to go to the north to celebrate the New Year. In 2021, the Dunbaishan High-speed Railway will be put into operation, and Antu County, where the scenic spot is located, will have three high-speed railway stations: Antu, Yongqing, and Changbaishan overnight. In order to better serve tourists coming from the south to the northeast, the Changbaishan Railway Station has launched the “One-Click Travel” mini program to provide tourists with a complete set of guides for food, accommodation, transportation and entertainment.

Li Hongwei, Station Manager of Shenyang Changbaishan Station of National Railway:Our station has cooperated with more than 30 local scenic spots and hotels. Tourists can enjoy 80 to 95% off discounts on entertainment, dining, and accommodation with their electronic tickets to Changbai Mountain (station).

The high-speed rail has driven the development of local B&B and ice and snow industries, and the catering industry has also benefited from this. Northeastern specialties are very popular among southern tourists.

Zhejiang tourist Yang Hanqing:I come from Jinhua, Zhejiang, and I chose this place to eat Northeastern cuisine. My mother prefers fish, and it was also the first time for my father to eat hot pot pork.

The reporter found that during the Spring Festival in previous years, passenger flow flowed in a single direction. Basically, before the festival, they flowed from big cities to all parts of the country. Especially in the Northeast and Southwest regions, arrival passenger flow has surged, and departing trains are almost empty. This year, the surge in departure and arrival passenger flow has completely changed the phenomenon of rush hour in previous years. Taking the Z384 train from Changchun to Haikou as an example, the occupancy rate of this train has basically reached 100% on both the upstream and downstream routes, reflecting that the rush of arrivals during the Spring Festival before the Spring Festival in the past has turned into a two-way hot spot.

During the interview, the reporter found that among the Northeast travelers to Hainan, there were particularly many combinations of “elderly people + grandchildren”.

Passenger Ms. Guo:The two of us got in the car in Changchun and took my eldest grandson with us to Shanghai for the New Year. We bought a house in Haikou.

Zhang Jun, conductor of train Z384:As the Spring Festival approaches, more and more tourists from Northeast China go to Hainan to celebrate the New Year, especially the elderly and children. In order to better serve this group, we have launched a series of convenience and benefit measures to create a warm atmosphere for tourists. travel environment.
