Traditional folk customs and folk art are also organically integrated into cultural spaces such as museums, art galleries, libraries, theaters, and cinemas, enriching new scenes of cultural and tourism integration. A large number of tourists choose to relax or travel in the local area, and projects such as suburban hydrophilicity, picking, agricultural experience, camping, etc. are favored. Cultural venues and commercial districts have become the main recreational spaces for tourists. The national level nighttime cultural and tourism consumption cluster will hold Dragon Boat Festival themed activities such as intangible cultural heritage experiences and folk markets tailored to local conditions, continuously unleashing the vitality of nighttime consumption. Tourists are increasingly inclined to choose flexible and personalized travel methods, enjoying life through slow paced travel, in-depth experiences, and relaxation and leisure. Yunnan, Qinghai, Gansu, Inner Mongolia, Guizhou and other places have become popular choices for young people to self drive and summer vacation. The dual empowerment of "film and television+cultural tourism" has driven the popularity of self driving destinations such as Altay in Xinjiang and Ili Prefecture, driven by the popularity of the TV drama "My Altay". According to Ctrip data, car rental orders in Urumqi during the Dragon Boat Festival holiday have doubled, with Yining City growing by 140%. (Lai Xin She)
