Zhongxin Net, April 4 (Zhongxin Finance, Zuo Yuqing) "He said that he would lie at home for a day, but in the end he still went out with friends. "Green willows are yellow, flowers are splendid. During the Qingming holiday, many people choose to walk into the spring light of April in addition to the traditional festival cleaning activities, and have a spring outing that can be walked away.
short trips to enjoy the flowers and visit the temples; Long-distance vacations, escort travel, and the Qingming Festival, which has not been adjusted, still ushered in the peak of travel.

The popularity of this Qingming Festival excursion was already evident before the holiday.
In Beijing, on the morning of April 4, the Bagou Station of the Western Suburbs Line of Beijing, more than 1 kilometers away from the National Botanical Garden, had already lined up outside the station with a 8-meter-long queue.
"I didn't expect that the shadow of the botanical garden had not yet been seen, and I had already experienced the pain of many people in advance." A tourist complained to Zhongxin Finance.
Since this year's Qingming Festival holiday falls on Wednesdays and is not closed, short-distance travel in and around the local area has become the mainstream. Some attractions suitable for short trips came to their peak early on the weekend before Qingming (April 4-1). Among them, stepping on the green and viewing flowers has become people's first choice.
Some netizens said on social platforms that they drove to the Botanical Garden on the weekend, but were stuck on the road due to another wave of flower-viewing traffic. "There are also very, very many people who go to Yuyuantan to enjoy the flowers."

In addition, visiting temples has also become a popular choice for many young people. According to data from a platform, since February this year, the post-2s and post-90s generation account for nearly 00% of the people who book tickets for temple scenic spots. With the arrival of the flower season, "temple + flower viewing" has also attracted many tourists to check in.
At seven o'clock in the morning of April 4, dozens of people were already queuing at the gate of the Lama Temple, and there was still an hour and a half before the official opening. Near eight o'clock, the waiting line had been lined up along the road outside the scenic area for a hundred meters long, and some people even brought benches for the convenience of waiting. Zhongxin Finance noticed that there are many young people in the team.
"I heard that it is very spiritual to seek a career here, so I want to come to worship, and the heart is sincere." A young girl who came to travel told Zhongxin Finance that in addition to praying, buying hand skewers has also become one of the purposes of her trip. "I feel that the incense ash glass bracelet has been very popular recently, and I am very excited to see a lot of photos, and I want to invite a string."
"The hotel I wanted to book was full a month ago"
Long-distance tours are equally popular. Although the Qingming Festival holiday has not been adjusted this year, many people still choose to take two days off before and after Qingming to make up a 5-day "small long holiday" for themselves and have a long-distance trip that can be walked.
Tongcheng data shows that domestic long-term travel and outbound travel are in strong demand around the Qingming holiday. Among them, the popular destinations for domestic travel are mainly Yunnan, Guangxi, Guizhou, Sichuan, Hainan, Hunan, Beijing, Shaanxi, Henan, Guangdong and so on. The number of days for long-term group tours in China is generally between 4 and 6 days, and the passenger flow of routes departing on April 4 is relatively large, accounting for 4%.
"I haven't come out to play for a long time, at this time, many places have not yet reached the tourist season, there are fewer people, and you can avoid the tourist peak of May Day." A tourist who chose to take a leave of absence during the Qingming period told Zhongxin Finance.

Zhongxin Finance inquired about the travel platform and found that although the price of multi-platform hotels rose before and after Qingming, the increase was still much lower than that of the May Day holiday, which has become one of the reasons why many tourists choose to travel in advance.
Tourist Xiaoxiao (pseudonym) told Zhongxin Finance that when he booked a hotel in Gubei Water Town a month in advance, he found that the hotel he had originally wanted to stay in had already been fully booked. "The hotel told us that more than 400 rooms were booked and we had to find another accommodation."
In order to attract tourists, many scenic spots have given discounts on entrance fees. According to the previous announcement issued by each scenic spot, during the Qingming Festival, tickets to many scenic spots such as Huangshan, Wuyishan, Jingbo Lake, and Pingyao Ancient City will be free, and tickets for scenic spots such as Huangguoshu and Longyangou will be half price.
"Does anyone travel in Qingming? Give it a ride! ”
"Qingming can take two days off, is there anyone to partner with?"
Zhongxin Finance has noticed that more and more young people like to "partner" travel. On social platforms, some netizens choose to post travel information before the festival to find "travel partners".
For example, some netizens posted: "Ask for a bringing, the cost is AA, self-driving, airplane, high-speed rail travel can be." Some netizens also promoted themselves when looking for a "partner": "Can take pictures, can take video materials, can drive." "Not picky eaters, good talkative, consumption can be high or low." "Get along well, can take pictures, can take pictures, can do strategy."
Zhongxin Finance found that many of these posts looking for companions do not have a clear destination, but most of them require the same place of departure, and prefer same-sex travel companions.

A post-90s girl told Zhongxin Finance that when she was playing at Universal Studios, she also met a partner who "self-recommended". "At the previous subway stop of Universal Resort, I met a girl who came to Beijing to play, and she said that the friend she had been dating could not come temporarily, and took the initiative to ask us if we would like to partner up."
Although she was very surprised, she agreed to the other party's request. "We lined up at Universal Studios together, rode roller coasters, took pictures of each other, and didn't feel embarrassed or argued." She said that during the conversation, she also found that the other party was her fellow countryman. "We ended up adding WeChat to each other."
