As night fell, the Qilou old street in Haikou, the capital of south China’s Hainan Province, got busier. A fashion show featuring intangible cultural heritage was presented with music and lights, bringing a cultural feast for tourists.<\/p>\n
“It’s stunning! The costumes of the ethnic minorities are so beautiful!” said Chen Nan, a tourist from Shenzhen, south China’s Guangdong Province. Having finished a trip to Sanya, a resort city in Hainan, Chen and her boyfriend arrived in Haikou, not expecting to encounter such a wonderful performance.<\/p>\n
“The Qilou old street has a retro charm and a vibrant atmosphere,” she said, adding that the show made their trip more worthwhile.<\/p>\n
During the week-long National Day holiday, the Qilou old street was full of tourists visiting different shops or tasting various local snacks, and attractive street performances added a festive atmosphere.<\/p>\n
The bustling scene of the Qilou old street in Haikou is a microcosm of Hainan’s tourism industry during the holiday.<\/p>\n
Last month, the Super Typhoon Yagi landed in Hainan, causing serious damage to the tourism industry. With self-rescue efforts and support from all parties, the entire tourism industry in the province resumed before the National Day holiday.<\/p>\n
At the Hainan Ocean Paradise Resort in Lingshui Li Autonomous County, a fireworks show illuminated the sky and also ignited the enthusiasm of the tourists.<\/p>\n
Liu Xiao’ou, the resort’s president, said the resort presented a fireworks show every night during the holiday, together with a stunning display of drones. In the Polar World, which opened in July this year, tourists can interact closely with penguins, seals, sea lions and beluga whales.<\/p>\n
“This year’s National Day holiday has a special significance,” said Liu, noting that Hainan had just experienced a severe typhoon disaster, so the resort was particularly concerned about the travel needs of the islanders.<\/p>\n
He said that the resort offered exclusive discounted tickets for Hainan residents during the holiday, allowing them to enjoy the holiday.<\/p>\n
During this year’s National Day holiday, Hainan launched rich tourism products and more than 70 cultural performances and sports events to welcome tourists.<\/p>\n
On Wuzhizhou Island in Sanya, the pier was bustling with visitors who were waiting for various water activities.<\/p>\n
“Hainan is so much fun!” said Zhang Yunqi, a tourist from northeast China’s Jilin Province, after experiencing jet skiing.<\/p>\n
Zhang and her boyfriend came to Hainan for vacation. They enjoyed various activities like parasailing, jet skiing and diving, which enhanced their holiday experience.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
