2025-05-03
Spring is warm with flowers blooming, and with the May Day holiday, many people step out of their homes to pursue "poetry and distant places". According to data from the Ministry of Transport, on the first day of the May Day holiday, the cross regional flow of people in the whole society exceeded 330 million, a year-on-year increase of 6.2%. Holiday travel is hot. According to big data from Qunar, the main tourist destinations for this year's holiday season are still first tier and new first tier cities such as Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Chengdu, Wuhan, and Hangzhou. However, unlike short distance travel during the Qingming Festival holiday, people go further and have a wider range of destinations during the May Day holiday. On the first day of the holiday, tourist destinations have covered 1229 county towns across the country, with a 20% increase in bookings compared to last year. Road travel is the main source of people's holiday travel. The data shows that on the first day of the holiday, the number of road personnel turnover was 305.61 million, a year-on-year increase of 4.7%. Among them, the number of non-commercial passenger trips on highways and ordinary national and provincial roads was 266.13 million, a year-on-year increase of 4.8%. On the first day of the holiday, the Kela Beautiful Desert Park, a comprehensive desert theme park located in northern Xinjiang, opened. This desert themed "service area+desert leisure and entertainment complex" covers one-stop projects such as "eating, accommodation, transportation, sightseeing, shopping, and entertainment", becoming a new landmark of desert tourism in northern Xinjiang. With the S21 Awa Expressway tourist road, many tourists can easily achieve "early departure and late return" and travel between Urumqi and the desert in a day. As an important link connecting scenic spots, tourist highways are becoming a new driving force to promote self driving travel and tourism consumption growth. During the holiday season, tourist roads around traditional popular cities such as Hangzhou, Xi'an, Qingdao, Wuhan, and Chengdu have become "hot spots", while tourist roads in distant provinces such as Guizhou, Yunnan, and Xinjiang have emerged as "new forces", forming a development pattern of "traditional scenic spots driving+emerging internet celebrities rising". Highway tourism is convenient and fast, while water tourism is lively and extraordinary. On the evening of the first day of the holiday, the Yangtze River Three Gorges No.1 cruise ship slowly set sail from the Three Gorges Visitor Center pier, taking tourists to enjoy the spectacular scenery of Gezhouba and Xiling Gorge, and headed towards the Three Gorges Dam. On the cruise ship, there is also a live performance of "The Prosperous Xia River", which integrates elements such as boatman songs, Tujia songs and dances, and intangible cultural heritage tie dyeing, combined with sound, light and electricity technology, to condense the Xia River culture into an audio-visual feast. Data shows that on the first day of the holiday, the waterway passenger volume was 1.649 million, a year-on-year increase of 87.5%. This holiday, the Ministry of Transport launched a three-year plan to build high-quality domestic waterway tourism passenger routes, launching 36 premium routes. Many boutique air routes have become new scenes and hotspots for local water tourism consumption, injecting strong vitality into the consumer market. Xiao Peng, a researcher at Qunar Big Data Research Institute, said that the large-scale passenger flow poses severe challenges to the entire chain of transportation, scenic spots, and services. During the holiday period, the transportation department in Shanghai implemented measures such as accelerating ETC special handling and setting up fast lanes for small passenger cars to alleviate congestion at 24 easily congested points and 8 easily congested toll stations on Shanghai's highways; The transportation department of Jiangsu Province has put into use the "Mobile Charging Aircraft Carrier" demonstration project in the Pingqiao Service Area of the Beijing Shanghai Expressway, which can support 8 vehicles to charge simultaneously; The transportation department of Anhui Province utilizes the "Wanmei Expressway Brain" platform to dynamically collect dynamic information from the entire road network around the clock... The relevant person in charge of the transportation department stated that in response to the characteristics of holiday passenger flow, transportation departments in various regions have scientifically formulated transportation plans and made every effort to ensure transportation during the holiday period, providing safe and smooth travel services for the people.
