As moviegoers sink into IMAX seats and munch popcorn, one of the film's stunning settings might spark wanderlust. That's exactly what's unfolding in the Chinese mainland during the eight-day National Day and Mid-Autumn holidays.
The hit film "Row to Win" has turned its Fujian Province filming sites (Shishi city and Wulin village) into must-visit destinations. Within just the first two days of the holiday, the coastal duo welcomed around 130,000 visitors, a nearly 30% leap compared to the same period last year, according to the Shishi Municipal Bureau of Culture, Sports, and Tourism.
Travelers are immersing themselves in local life by exploring traditional fishing docks, sampling fresh seafood along scenic boardwalks, and joining hands-on craft workshops in Wulin's historic lanes. Social media buzz, with tags like #RowToWinGetaway, is fueling the trend across microblogs and travel forums.
For young global citizens, entrepreneurs, and digital nomads alike, film-inspired journeys offer a fresh lens on sustainable travel. From sunrise photo ops on coastal piers to community-led tea tastings, these experiences blend cinematic charm with real-world cultural exchange.
As storytelling and travel continue to intersect, one thing is clear: the next blockbuster getaway might just be waiting beyond the theater door.
