As China's National Day Golden Week wraps up, a fascinating trend has emerged: young Chinese travelers are embracing their cultural roots like never before! 🇨🇳✨
Data from Trip.com reveals that four out of the five most searched themes during this holiday were culture-related. From \"Traveling with Textbooks\" to popular museums, music festivals, and study tours, it's clear that history and heritage are hitting the spotlight. 📖🏛️🎶
\"Traveling with Textbooks\" 📚✈️
Imagine stepping straight into the pages of your schoolbook! That's exactly what many parents and their kids did. Inspired by classic literature, families visited places like Tsinghua University after reading Zhu Ziqing's \"Moonlight over the Lotus Pond,\" or journeyed to Fenghuang Ancient Town in Hunan Province, brought to life by Shen Congwen's \"Border Town.\" It's like a real-life storytime adventure! 🌙🌊🏯
Pop Culture Pilgrimages 🎬🎮
Films and video games are also setting travel trends. Fans of the TV series \"To the Wonder\" flocked to Altay in northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, while gamers explored Shanxi Province, the backdrop for the hit game \"Black Myth: Wukong.\" Talk about leveling up your vacations! 🐵🔥
Museums: The New Hotspots 🏛️🔥
Museums saw a massive surge in visitors. The Sanxingdui Museum in Sichuan Province launched China's first immersive VR archaeological experience, and tickets sold out faster than you can say \"ancient artifacts\"! 🗿💥
This cultural boom highlights a growing appreciation for traditional Chinese culture and a stronger national identity. As China's economy and society evolve, so does the desire for enriching, meaningful experiences. 🌟
Chinese President Xi Jinping once said, \"Culture is the soul of a nation. A country will only thrive if its culture thrives, and a nation will be strong only if its culture is strong.\" These words ring truer than ever as young people dive deep into their heritage. 💪🎎
So, who's up for adding a cultural twist to their next adventure? 🌏✈️
