As the National Day "Golden Week" approaches, the tourism market is gearing up. A recent report from Fliggy, titled "2024 National Day Travel Trend Indicator," indicates that Hengyang is becoming a popular city for travel bookings in Hunan during the holiday.

While traditional hotspots like Shanghai, Beijing, and Hangzhou remain at the forefront nationwide, emerging destinations such as Chongqing's Wulong and Yunnan's Nujiang are seeing rapid booking growth due to their attractive scenery and affordability. In Hunan, cities like Changsha, Hengyang, Zhangjiajie, Yueyang, and Shaoyang are popular among travelers.

After successfully hosting the Third Hunan Tourism Development Conference, Hengyang's cultural tourism image has significantly improved. Leveraging this momentum, the city is advancing its strategy of "manufacturing as the foundation of the city, cultural tourism as the driving force" and enhancing its attractions and urban development. In the first half of 2024, Hengyang received 36.1762 million tourists, a year-on-year increase of 8%, with tourism revenue reaching 36.425 billion yuan, up 10.87%, both ranking among the best in the province.

The report also highlights that unique tourism experiences in Hunan are favored by visitors during the National Day holiday. Activities such as night tours at Dongzhou Island, hot springs in Ningxiang, urban photo shoots in Changsha, and cultural experiences in Fenghuang and Zhangjiajie have become must-do activities. Hengyang is also launching various cultural tourism projects and products to warmly welcome tourists from across the country.
