The Meaning of Travel: Is It Still Worth Joining the Crowds During the May Day Holiday?
Someone once said that in life, you must experience a passionate love and a spontaneous trip.
Love is a matter of fate and cannot be forced, but travel is a choice you can make freely. This May Day holiday, where do you plan to travel? Will it be the popular destinations like Guangzhou, Beijing, Hangzhou, Sanya... or will you fly abroad to enjoy some peace and quiet?
Every year during Golden Week, the news seems to be dominated by "seas of people." Remember the "zipper-style human wall" of armed police on Shanghai's Nanjing Road? Or the drivers walking dogs, strolling, and playing badminton on the highway? Thinking about this, does it give you a headache figuring out how to spend this year's May Day?
Staggered travel and overseas trips are two more advanced ways to avoid the crowds. But given the pandemic situation this year, international travel is not recommended, and not everyone can take time off during off-peak periods. Today, let's discuss a few other plans on how to travel happily during Golden Week!
Travel should be a time for relaxation and rejuvenation. Instead of checking in at popular attractions, you could book a high-quality resort hotel or resort in advance and spend a few leisurely days with family and friends.
For example, when traveling to Chengdu, you can choose a well-equipped five-star resort hotel like the "Chengdu Global Center Paradise InterContinental Hotel" and have enough fun for three days without stepping outside. This hotel is located inside the New Century Global Center, the world's largest single building. It has two shopping malls and includes an 8,500-square-meter Paradise Island Ocean Park. The ocean park is entirely indoor, with a constant temperature all year round, featuring artificial beaches, waves, two family-friendly water parks, hot springs, floating rides, and thrilling water slides, catering to all ages.
Some say the most beautiful scenery of a trip is on the road. Renting an RV not only saves you the hassle of catching flights or trains but also allows you to stop and go as you please, choosing places to visit spontaneously.
Currently, RV rental is convenient in Xi'an, and the supporting facilities at RV campsites are increasingly improved. Around Shaanxi, there are several RV campsites such as Qinling No. 1, Yulin Fortress on the South of the Yangtze, Taibai Starry Sky Qiu Shan·Yin, Hanzhong Silk Road Flower Sea, Longxian Guanshan Grassland, Hanzhong Lotus Moonlight, and Dashuichuan. Most of these campsites are equipped with independent water and electricity hookups, Wi-Fi, RV parking spots, tent sites, and other supporting facilities. Some campsites also include attractions, folk-custom towns, barbecue areas, outdoor KTV, and other entertainment options. RV campsites are no longer just about convenience; in the future, each campsite can become a travel destination in itself.
Every province has its popular cities and attractions. To avoid peak crowds, you need to understand the local situation, make good travel plans, and choose scenic but less crowded destinations with good facilities. This way, you can also enjoy a leisurely and carefree vacation.
Shaanxi's Yan'an is a famous red tourism destination. If you do some research, you'll find that many places in Yan'an now boast beautiful landscapes with clear waters and lush mountains, no less scenic than Jiangnan. The Nanniwan Scenic Area is a well-known revolutionary cradle. It has been developed into a multi-functional cultural scenic area focusing on revolutionary commemoration, integrating tourism, ecology, and economic development. Entering the area, the vast fields along the road for over ten kilometers are uniformly planted with large-scale flowers such as verbena, zinnia, and clary sage. Nearly two thousand mu of flower sea in a riot of colors adds a unique charm to Nanniwan, making it a model scenic spot for Yan'an's ecotourism and "light vacation" mode.
Life itself is an unknown journey. Only by exploring and discovering can you find more joy! The meaning of travel is not just sightseeing; it should be a relaxing journey to empty your mind, purify your soul, and enjoy the beauty!
