Ready to swap mega tourist hubs for fresh, under-the-radar spots? 🚀 During the eight-day National Day holiday, highways in China saw an average of 62 million vehicles a day… including 12.5 million new energy rides – up almost 30% year-on-year! ⚡
According to Wang Dan, Eurasia Group's China Director, travellers are exploring smaller counties and secret corners, all thanks to next-level transport and digital upgrades. Smooth rides, solid network coverage, and top-notch travel safety are turning once-hidden towns into the next must-visit destinations. 🌐🛤️
What's fueling this shift? China's beefed-up road networks mean fewer traffic jams at the usual hotspots. Meanwhile, high-speed internet reaches deeper regions, so you can Insta your adventures from anywhere. 📡📸
For young explorers, this trend is a FOMO-buster: ditch the crowds, discover local culture, and support regional economies. From quaint villages to scenic nature trails, these hidden gems are offering fresh experiences – and they're just a drive away! 🏞️🚗
So, who's ready to plan a road trip off the beaten path? Grab your playlist, fuel up the EV, and hit those backroads. Your next adventure could start in a tiny county you've never heard of – and trust us, it'll be epic. 🎶🔋💖
