On May 30, the reporter learned from the Municipal Foreign Affairs and Tourism Bureau that the temperature was very suitable for travel during Dragon Boat Festival this year. According to statistics, our city received a total of 525,800 visitors, an increase of 38.3% over the same period last year; the tourism comprehensive income hit 346 million yuan, an increase of 44.8% over the same period last year.

The Dragon Boat Festival is a traditional Chinese festival and a family reunion holiday. Everyone celebrates the traditional festival in the form of reunion. With the economic development, the number of private cars increases and a large number of migrant workers in Chenzhou drive their own cars back home, forming a small climax to return home. At the same time, because the Dragon Boat Festival only has 3 days off， Chenzhou becomes a major tourist destination for the surrounding provinces and cities and a large number of self-driving visitors from Guangdong, Hong Kong and the surrounding provinces visit here, especially the cars hanging the license plates of Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao, Jiangxi, Changsha, Zhuzhou, Hengyang, Shaoyang and other places can be seen in the Mangshan, Dongjiang Lake, Fritian Mountain Fuquan Villa and other major scenic spots, and the hotel parking lots. According to statistics, the self-driving visitors in Dongjiang Lake Scenic Area, Mangshan Scenic Area, Fuquan Villa and other scenic areas have reached more than 70% of received visitors during the Dragon Boat Festival.

After the rapid development in recent years, the scale and form of Chenzhou farmhouse have been greatly improved, the infrastructure construction has been continuously improved, and the reception capacity and service levels have been improved. Through the promotion of rural tourism, a group of unique farmhouse became the new favorite of the public travel, and especially the Sanhe Village, Heping Village, Rucheng Jinshan Village, Zixing White Gallery around Lake Road and other places attracted a large number of people and foreign tourists to visit and rest here. The vast numbers of tourists living in farm house, eating rice farmers, fishing, photography and other recreational items stimulated the food, accommodation, travel, purchase, entertainment and other related factors, and promoted the employment and income of rural tourist attractions and the surrounding farmers. The suburban leisure tourism characterized by rural tourism was still the highlight of this year's Dragon Boat Festival. The West River Scenery, especially the Suxian section was loved by tourists because of the integration of convenience services and rural tourism, and perfect basic and supporting facilities, and received 40,000 visitors during Dragon Boat Festival according to estimates. Beihu District Sanhe Village became the first choice for family travel in the city because of the beautiful natural environment, and the average daily tourists were more than 10,000 visitors according to statistics.

During the Dragon Boat Festival, the city planned and carried out the holiday tourism products with the main content of rural folk, green ecology, Dragon Boat Festival blessing, etc. and attracted a large number of citizens to participate in. The "passion Dragon Boat Festival, happy Children's Day" activities in Dongjiang Lake, the "water park fire" activities in Wang Xianling and other activities greatly enriched the Dragon Boat Festival tourism market in our city.
