Shantou, a city in southern China, is buzzing with excitement as it combines the celebration of "International Museum Day" on May 18th and "China Tourism Day" on May 19th. A series of cultural and tourism activities have been organized, such as the "Joy of Traveling in Jinping" Park Market, customized Chaoshan tourism bus routes, and a fun "Travel in the Museum" orienteering event, offering locals and tourists alike a feast of cultural tourism.

On May 18th, crowds flocked to Zhongshan Park in Shantou, where the atmosphere was lively and vibrant. Accompanied by the energetic beats of drums, talented young performers from the Yingge dance group took to the stage, kicking off the event with their youthful vigor.

One of the highlights of the event is the park market, where visitors can engage with a wide array of Shantou's unique cultural tourism products. From high-quality tourist routes to displays of rural scenery, as well as exhibition sales of specialty agricultural products and handicrafts, every aspect is filled with the distinctive charm of Shantou's Jinping district.

During the event, four rural-themed routes were introduced: "Blossoms in Spring," "Folklore Exploration in Summer," "Ecological Scenery Tour in Autumn," and "Imprints of Revolutionary Overseas Chinese in Winter." Products such as Niutianyang Blue Crabs, Tuopu Rice Wine, Lotus Root Powder, and Zongqiu (Glutinous Rice Ball) were available, at tracting many visitors to make purchases.

Based on "International Museum Day" on May 18th, an innovative orienteering competition was organized, connecting Zhongshan Park with the Shantou Museum. Multiple activity checkpoints were set up around the museum's exhibition content, scenic spots, and architectural features. A total of 200 participants engaged in activities such as exploring exhibitions, searching for clues, and completing tasks, experiencing a journey through the museum, and enhancing their understanding and appreciation of the city's history and culture.

Notably, a tourism bus featuring the color of Chaoshan Guo (rice cake) made a surprise appearance at the event. Many visitors gathered around the customized bus, eager to embark on a"city trip," immersing themselves in the bustling commercial hub and exploring the cultural and historical heritage of Chaoshan. This tourism bus route connects popular at tractions and food destinations such as Longyan South Food Street and Overseas Chinese New Village Pedestrian Street. The exterior and interior of the bus are infused with cultural elements of Chaoshan, making it visually stunning.
