Mr. Guo, who lives in Harbin, has already bought a ticket for February 6. “This year I will bring my family to Guangzhou to celebrate the New Year!” Mr. Guo said.
Since New Year's Day this year, Mr. Guo has often seen tourists from Guangdong in Harbin. "Nowadays, transportation is convenient, and everyone wants to go to new places to experience more. The 'little golden beans' in the south go to the north to play in the ice and enjoy the snow, and we also want to come to the Flower City to see the flowers and taste Guangzhou food!"
Mr. Guo and his wife like to take their children to travel, because he feels that "reading thousands of books is not as good as traveling thousands of miles." He and his family have always had a lot of longing for the Spring Festival in the south: "I have heard about the flower market in Guangzhou, and I really want to visit it myself. Go shopping and feel the atmosphere of the Spring Festival in the South. Not to mention the delicacies and snacks in Guangzhou, I can’t help but drool every time I see it on TV. Guangzhou is a famous historical and cultural city. My son said that he heard about ‘woodblock printing’ in art class New Year pictures, as well as traditional culture such as unicorn dance and lion dance, so we are all looking forward to taking our children to see it." Mr. Guo told reporters that their family planned to live in Guangzhou city first, visit the flower market, visit the Chen Clan Ancestral Hall, Canton Tower, and then go to Chimelong Tourist Resort for two or three days.
"This time I mainly spent time with the elderly and children to have fun. Last year and the year before last, I had friends who celebrated the New Year in Guangzhou. When I went back, I told them about their travel experiences and they all said they liked it very much, so I felt very relieved to finalize my itinerary for this year's Spring Festival," he said. They said that their son likes to have close contact with animals the most, and Guangzhou Chimelong Wildlife World is an irreplaceable check-in point in their minds. "Friends who have been there say that in addition to walking, self-driving, small train and other viewing experiences, you can also take a cable car to see animals. My son found it very novel and yearned for it when he heard about it." Mr. Guo is looking forward to Chimelong Wildlife. Animal World can help him answer his son's usual questions. "Children often ask me, 'Why do giraffes have such long necks?' 'Why do pandas like to eat bamboo so much?' 'Do koalas really like to sleep that much?' This time, I hope he will find the answer on his own at Chimelong Wildlife World."
During this Spring Festival trip to Guangzhou, in addition to having fun in Chimelong and experiencing the Guangfu Spring Festival, Mr. Guo is also planning to take his family to Zhuhai, Foshan and other places. "I heard that Foshan also contains a lot of traditional culture and food. Now it is very convenient to travel from Guangzhou to surrounding high-speed rails and urban rail lines, which also allows us to have richer and more diverse travel arrangements."
