On the first day of the May Day holiday, the surge in tourist traffic around the country became the focus.

The latest data from Ctrip, a Chinese online ticketing platform, shows that the overall travel orders on April 29 increased by more than 10 times compared to this time last year, more than one time compared to the 2019 level, and 668% compared to the first day of Spring Festival holiday this year.

Among them, businesses like scenic spot tickets, train tickets, homestay and hotel booking achieved the most significant year-on-year growth. For instance, the volume of tickets for scenic spots on the platform on the 29th day increased by more than 4 times compared to the 2019 level, of which booking in Guangdong increased by 385% with tickets in Guangzhou increasing by up to 860%.

During the May Day holiday, many citizens and tourists went into Lingnan Tiandi, the most densely populated and largest historical and cultural district in Foshan, Guangdong with the best preservation of traditional features, for an in-depth trip to inherit Lingnan culture and art.

As one of the top ten folk customs, the Foshan Ancestral Temple Fair was held at Liyu Square in Lingnan Tiandi this year. The traditional temple fair gathered products such as creative cultural accessories and oriental handicrafts, as well as activities like national style jazz show, collage for prayer, open mic and other activities, making the traditional fair a little fashionable and a cultural experience.

It is reported that the original immersive modern dance drama presented by Lingnan Tiandi in collaboration with the Ancestral Temple Sub-district Office and Guangzhou Yunna Dance Company has been added to the program on May 1st, building an immersive atmosphere for cultural and artistic experience in the shopping district.

The May Day holiday has also become a peak time for parents to take their children on a trip.

According to data from the Chinese travel website Mafengwo, the topic of Parent-Child Tour on the May Day holiday rose by 240%, driving the popularity of theme parks, zoos, museums and other cultural venues to soar.

According to Ctrip's airline booking data, parent-child tour orders on the May Day holiday accounted for nearly 40 percent, up 59 percent from 2019. What's more, kindergarten to high school students aged 3-17 were among the groups with the highest increase.

In Huadu District, Guangzhou, a newly-upgraded indoor snow park in Guangzhou became a popular destination for parents and children before the May Day holiday.

On the first day of the holiday, many parents and children in the snowy park played together with treasure hunting, snowball shooting and costumed charactersperformers, making it possible for southern people to feel the childhood fun of their Northern counterparts.
