A tourist bus carrying seniors slowly stopped at the Wuzhifeng Tourism Service Center of Mangshan Mountain. These tourists departed from Tianjin and took a new flight from Tianjin to Chenzhou. Then, they took a bus in Chenzhou to experience barrier-free tourism in Mangshan Mountain.

 

After the National Day holiday, many travel booking platforms saw a significant drop in ticket prices, even with a 90 percent discount on some routes. 

 

 

And this has also attracted a group of middle-aged and elderly people with more free time to visit Mangshan Mountain.

 

Apart from the sharp drop in airfares, the average price of hotels in Mangshan Tourist Area has also decreased by more than 20% after the long holiday, especially for homestay inns, resort hotels, etc. The big discount makes the travel highly cost-effective. 

 

The price of boutique homestay inns in Mangshan Yanziyan Scenic Area is less than half of that during the National Day holiday. 

 

 

 

According to Zhong Ken, head of a homestay inn in Mangshan Yanziyan, “On the platform, the bookings have significantly increased compared to the same period in previous years, and the proportion of elderly tourists has also exceeded that in previous years. This means that a considerable proportion of tourists are more willing to enjoy ‘staggered travel’, and the popularity of Mangshan Yanziyan Scenic Area has increased.”

 

To attract young people, the Wuzhi Peak Scenic Area of Mangshan Mountain has launched the popular Via Ferrata project by integrating the popular rock climbing with the natural scenery, which quickly caught the attention of young tourists.
