Zhang Ziye said, "Many buses with group tours go to the scenic spots at the same time, Wuyang When the crowds poured down, it would take a long time to line up just to enter the scenic spot, like the Yulong Snow Mountain cableway going up the mountain for more than an hour."
The eyes are full of people, and there is no place to take pictures. For Zhang Ziye, the experience of this tour is not very good.

Not only Zhang Ziye, but also a staff member of a travel agency in Kunming, Yunnan has recently felt the popularity of tourism in Yunnan.
"The number of tourists in July has increased a lot compared to June, and it is also much better than the same period last year. It can almost catch up with the level before the epidemic in 2019."
With so many tourists suddenly coming in, the staff member believes that on the one hand, the weather in Yunnan is good, on the other hand, the epidemic situation in Yunnan is better controlled during this time, and it is the peak summer tourism season.
According to his observation, during this time, mainly tourists from other places came, and popular places such as Dali, Lijiang, and Xishuangbanna were the main destinations for tourists.
The data provided by Fliggy also confirms what the staff member said: From July 19 to July 25, the number of hotel orders in Xishuangbanna, Dali and other cities doubled year-on-year, and the number of hotel orders in Xishuangbanna increased by more than 20% year-on-year. 4 times, and the order volume of Dali hotels increased by 1.3 times year-on-year.
The bookings for summer and group tours in Yunnan have recovered and surpassed the same period last year.
"Half of the circle of friends may be in Changsha"
If it is said that this summer, "one-third of tourists are in Yunnan", then "half of the circle of friends may be in Changsha", as described by netizens.
Xiaobei (pseudonym), who recently traveled to Changsha, has a deep understanding of this. "Every popular scenic spot in Changsha is full of people."
"Queue" and "crowded people" are the main feelings of Xiaobei's trip.
"Going to the head of Orange Island, at the end of the statue, it is very difficult to move the position. When the small train returns, it takes two and a half to three hours to queue."
Having experienced the crowds, Xiaobei concluded that if you want to go to Changsha, the most comfortable way to travel is to rent a homestay or hotel with a better environment, and then order takeout and eat Changsha's delicacies.

Previous data from Qunar showed that Changsha was among the top ten cities in terms of hotel bookings during the summer vacation (July to August).
A recent hot search "Official response to Changsha Yuelu Mountain being trampled by tourists" also reflects that Yuelu Mountain is "overcrowded" from the side.
Zhangjiajie, also in Hunan, also saw a "crowd".

The hot summer days can't stop people's enthusiasm for traveling.
This July, there are still many places that are full of tourists.
After Liu Hong, director of Sichuan Ganzi Prefecture Culture, Radio, Television and Tourism Bureau, became popular on the Internet, data show that from July 1 to July 20, Ganzi Prefecture received a total of 4.12 million tourists, and comprehensive tourism revenue 4.4 billion yuan, reaching the best level in the history of tourist reception in the same period.

In fact, the reception of tourists will be suspended from July 24 to July 30.

In the face of the summer tourism boom, Wu Ruoshan, a special researcher of the Tourism Research Center of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences and the president of the New Era Cultural Tourism Research Institute, said that the development of tourism is more dependent on the natural environment and climatic conditions. Both are the main resource choices for summer travel.
This year, the willingness of tourists to take summer vacations in the summer market continues to rise, and the travel radius continues to expand.
In addition, judging from institutional data and consumer feedback, the issuance of cultural tourism coupons in multiple places in the early stage and the recommendation of social platforms are also important factors affecting residents' travel.
For example, the tourism market in Yunnan has recovered rapidly recently. Since late April, Yunnan Province has arranged to issue subsidies for cultural and tourism consumption.
On July 5, the Yunnan Provincial Department of Culture and Tourism launched the second batch of the second batch of cultural and tourism consumption coupons and gas coupon issuance activities.
The relevant person in charge of the government cooperation department of Ctrip Group said that since the current consumption subsidy was issued, the proportion of tourists from outside the province who received the subsidy has increased significantly, effectively attracting tourists to Yunnan.
However, with the recent discovery of new coronavirus infections in many places, some popular tourist cities and scenic spots have also begun to tighten tourism policies.
The staff of the above-mentioned travel agency said, "It is estimated that tourism in Yunnan in August will be cooler than in July." (End)
