As the Qingming holiday approaches, primary and secondary schools in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Sichuan and other provinces have aligned their spring holidays seamlessly with the Qingming holiday this year, creating a six-day consecutive vacation. In the travel boom driven by the spring holidays, Guangdong has stood out with particularly strong performance.

Big data from Umetrip shows that Guangzhou and Shenzhen both rank among the top 10 popular domestic destinations for the Qingming holiday, with flight ticket bookings to Guangzhou surging over 60% year on year. In terms of accommodation, data from Qunar reveals that hotel bookings in Guangzhou from April 1st to 6th surged by 1.8 times year on year, leading the country in growth rate.

Theme parks in Guangdong are particularly popular: Guangzhou Chimelong Safari Park and Guangzhou Chimelong International Circus both make the top 10 most popular scenic spots in the same period, and bookings for Hengqin Chimelong International Ocean Culture Tourist Resort also grow markedly. On Tongcheng Travel, themed group tours such as parent-child study tours and museum adventure tours remain hot sellers, with over 60% of families choosing 4-to-5-day itineraries.

Meanwhile, new business formats of the spring economy have emerged in Guangdong. Bijia Mountain in Qingyuan launched the 3rd Huazhao Festival, featuring immersive full-scene  NPC interactive experiences. In Shenzhen's Luohu District, the first Grand Wutong "Spring Flower Feast" has introduced a low-altitude sightseeing project offering a "99-yuan helicopter flower-viewing adventure", extending the ticket economy into a high-value-added consumption chain covering high-end general aviation and premium accommodation. Foshan kicked off a nationwide dragon boat rally, where 46 dragon boat teams from the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area compete together, alongside a "Longxu Market" cultural and creative food market.
