Xinhua News Agency, Nanjing, October 5 (Reporter Lu Huadong) Affected by the epidemic, many Taiwan compatriots in mainland China failed to return to Taiwan to reunite with their families during the Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day holiday this year.
Facing the 8-day holiday, many Taiwan compatriots choose to travel to "unlock" more scenery on the mainland.
"In the past few days, my friends and I have not only visited the bustling downtown of Chengdu, feasted in Kuanzhai Alleys, and also went to Jiuzhaigou for two days. The scenery there is really beautiful, even better than the photos we saw in textbooks and online. To be shocked, the immersive feeling is very wonderful." Liao Shaohuan said.

He is busy at work on weekdays, and his activity areas are mainly in Kunshan, Suzhou, Shanghai and other places. It has always been his wish to go to the central and western parts of the mainland to see different scenery.
In order to get a deeper understanding of Sichuan during the Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day holiday of this year, Liao Shaohuan made an appointment with colleagues and friends early and rushed to Chengdu by high-speed train on September 30.
During the few days of traveling in Sichuan, Liao Shaohuan never forgot to send photos and small videos to his family every day.
"After reading my sharing, my parents also want to come to Sichuan soon."
During this long vacation, Taiqing Hong Keen, who started his business in Huaian, Jiangsu, also did not return to Taiwan.
"On the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, I had a video call with my family and we had a very good chat. That night, I had barbecue with friends and admired the moon. The lively atmosphere eased my homesickness a lot." Hong Ji-eun said.
On October 2, Hong Ji-en left Huai'an and gathered in Nanjing with more than 10 Taiwanese friends scattered throughout the Yangtze River Delta to visit scenic spots, eat food, and talk about friendship.
"I didn't expect to go out for a long vacation. I thought it would be nice to be able to go around in the city where I live. Thanks to the timely and effective control of the epidemic in the mainland, we have the opportunity to meet in Nanjing. In the next few days, we plan to visit Suzhou. "Looking at the touristy scenic spots, crowded restaurants, and busy streets, Hong Ji-eun said that he feels that normal life is accelerating the return of the mainland, and he feels particularly comfortable.
Hong Keen, from Nantou County, Taiwan, has a doctorate degree. In 2015, because he was optimistic about the potential of the mainland market, he resolutely came to Huai'an, Jiangsu, first got a job and then started a business. Now he has become the general manager of Jiangsu Hongwei Testing Technology Co., Ltd.
"In recent years, the mainland has paid more attention to environmental protection, and the environmental protection market is equally open to Taiwanese enterprises. Our orders are increasing. In the first half of this year, the company's performance has declined due to the epidemic. Since July, the company's performance has rebounded significantly. , There were orders of more than 500,000 yuan in September. Yesterday, the company's sampling team was already at work." Hong Jien said.
When it comes to future plans, in addition to continuing to work hard to make the company bigger and stronger, Hong Keen also very much wants to go out of the familiar eastern part of the mainland and experience different customs in the central and western regions.

After spending the Mid-Autumn Festival with his family on October 1, he organized more than 20 Taiwanese friends to visit Niushou Mountain in Nanjing on the 3rd.

Although it has been raining that day, everyone had a great time and kept taking pictures. Later, we tasted a lot together. Nanjing specialties. When I went back, everyone was still very interested.” You Hezheng told reporters that in the future, he will organize everyone to go out for barbecue, so that more Taiwanese can use the golden week to learn more about the mainland.
