China's attractions hold activities to boost tourism before Mid-Autumn Festival

Multiple activities have been taken across China to lure tourists, as the Mid-Autumn Festival draws near.

Mid-Autumn Festival, one of the most important parts of Chinese traditions, inherits customs with a long history. With celebrations centered on moon viewing and night tours, it has formed a unique charm for countless tourists.

On the eve of this important festival, many airlines have launched special moon-viewing routes to provide tourists with a unique travel experience.

"According to our data predictions from previous years, the arrival of the Mid-Autumn Festival holiday will drive a new round of travel boom. Currently, the booking rate from Changsha to Kuala Lumpur, Urumqi, Tianjin, Shenyang and other places is relatively high," said Li Yiyao, the route manager of China Southern Airlines Hunan Branch.

The China Southern Airlines Hunan Branch plans to handle more than 80 flights during the moon viewing period.

In Suzhou City, east China's Jiangsu Province, people prefer to visit gardens or attend lantern fairs with the beautiful night scene and the bright moon.

"The Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon, and I just made a rabbit lantern to suit the occasion. With the evening breeze blowing, I brought my little lantern over to see the night view of Tiger Hill. I thought it was very wonderful," said Chen Xiaoyun, a Suzhou citizen.

Carrying people's wishes and blessings, various lanterns and moonlight complement each other, forming a unique urban landscape.

"The lantern fair has a strong sense of ritual, with lanterns of different styles, some based on folk tales, and others incorporating auspicious patterns and good wishes. They also symbolize light and reunion, and exprss people's yearning for a better life," concluded by Wang Jinwei, professor from the School of Tourism Science, Beijing International Studies University.

During the festival, citizens and tourists can visit the first floor of the Tiger Hill Tower in batches without reservation. Visitors can also participate in activities such as Hanfu, tea drinking, as well as flying wishing bottles to deeply experience the charm of Chinese traditional culture.
