On March 15th, the first spring tourist train departed from Qingdao and arrived in Lianyungang, carrying over 300 tourists who came to experience the charm of spring scenery and mountains and seas in Lianyungang through "fast travel and slow tourism", embarking on a magical and romantic journey.

As a popular destination for spring flower viewing, hiking, and seaside sightseeing in Jiangsu, Shandong, and Anhui provinces, Lianyungang's tourism market has ushered in a "mini spring boom". Scenic spots such as Huaguo Mountain, Peach Blossom Valley, and Plum Garden are in full bloom with cherry blossoms, peach blossoms, and plum blossoms competing to show their beauty. The fragrant plants and the charming spring scenery have attracted many tourists to visit and enjoy the pleasant springtime by high-speed rail and self-driving, making "everyone going out to admire flowers" a prominent feature of Lianyungang's spring tourism.

"Although both are coastal cities, Lianyungang has a unique mythical and romantic atmosphere that is different from the 'red roofs and green trees' of our Qingdao. I've been longing for visiting Sun Wukong's hometown to experience it, especially now that the high-speed rail has opened, making the distance between our two cities even closer," said Ms. Zhang, who just retired, adding that high-speed rail travel is her preferred choice for travel now. "There are over 300 tourists with me, and we all had a great time on the way, full of expectations for the beautiful scenery and delicious food in Lianyungang."

"Lianyungang's spring tourism market is quite hot, and we plan to organize 13 tourist charter trains to come here around May Day. Lianyungang has given us a lot of policy support, and we pass on the benefits to tourists so that they can have a better experience in Lianyungang," said the person in charge of the travel agency. In recent years, Lianyungang has vigorously supported the "high-speed rail + culture and tourism" travel mode, offering substantial policies with sincere intentions to attract tourists to the city and leveraging the driving effect of high-speed rail. At the same time, it has deeply explored the "spring economy +" model, launching specialized and diversified cultural and tourism integration products such as spring outings, rural vacations, cultural exhibition performances, art performances, and special cuisine, continuously unleashing new vitality in the "spring economy".
