This Dragon Boat Festival, also known as Duanwu Festival, falling on June 10 this year, is witnessing a surge in a fresh travel trend that's capturing the hearts of young adventurers: new Chinese-style travel.
Unlike traditional travel, new Chinese-style travel emphasizes immersing oneself in the rich tapestry of Chinese culture and history. Young travelers are flocking to activities such as visiting history museums, watching exhilarating Dragon Boat races, and experiencing intangible cultural heritage firsthand.
One of the standout features of this trend is the exploration of historical and cultural scenic spots, where travelers can delve deep into China's storied past. Additionally, many are embracing the experience by dressing in traditional Chinese attire, known as hanfu, adding an authentic touch to their journeys.
This movement not only fosters a deeper appreciation for cultural roots but also promotes sustainable and meaningful travel experiences. As more young people participate, new Chinese-style travel is set to become a staple during major festivals, blending tradition with modern-day exploration.
