What Is Your Next Destination?
With the summer vacation drawing near, you may have already made a well-structured travel plan. But if you’re still wondering where to enjoy your holiday, here are some popular destinations for your reference. Click each title to get more details.
Taste Tea in China
The Ancient Tea Plantations of Jingmai Mountain in Pu’er features about 1.13 million tea trees. Located in China’s Yunnan Province, the region was a starting point of the legendary Ancient Tea Horse Road. Many of the region’s tea plantations remain, as do the local ethnic minority groups who preserve their own languages, customs, and festivals.
Dive Deep in Palau
When you arrive here, the stamp in your passport will include the Palau Pledge (誓约), which all visitors must sign, promising that “the only footprints I shall leave are those that will wash away.” The eco-pledge was drafted by and for the children of these remote western Pacific islands to help preserve Palau’s culture and environment from the negative impacts of tourism.
Run Wild in Australia
Green plants are reappearing in Australia, of which some 72,000 square miles were burned during the 2019~2020 bushfires, leading to the deaths of more than a billion animals. Drive along the Great Ocean Road in Victoria’s Otways region, and then take a hike at Wildlife Wonders. Wandering through bushes gives you a chance to spot koalas unique to this ecosystem.
Go Green in Germany
Mining and steel production once dominated the Ruhr Valley in German. Today, the region is repurposing previous industrial sites as parks and open air cultural spaces. The most famous is the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Zeche Zollverein, now home to an outdoor swimming pool and walking paths. You can rent a bike in Essen for a car-free Ruhr Valley trip along cycling routes.

【推荐2】Twelve-year-old Zhou Xinyue planned the May Day holiday trip for her family. Instead of going to the beach, she chose four revolutionary sites(革命遗址) in South China’s Guangdong province.
“I have heard my classmates talking about the East River Column, but I don’t know much about its history, so I wanted to visit the memorial(纪念馆) to learn about it. My parents and elder brother were happy to join me,” she said.
Revolutionary sites have become a travel hit during the May Day holiday. As of 3 pm on Saturday, the first day of the five day holiday, 13 “red tourism(红色旅游)” sites in Guangdong received 23, 000 visits, up by 298.9 percent year on year, according to the provincial culture and tourism department(省文化旅游厅).
The department recently introduced a “red tourism” passport, which includes 30 revolutionary sites in the province and covers, technologies and treasure finding games. The passport has attracted many young people to these sites during the holiday.
“The visit was good, and I have set a goal to visit all the sites and get all the stamps in my red tourism passport this year,” said Xu Sheng, a visitor to the peasant movement institute(农民运动研究所) in Guangzhou.
In Shaoshan, Central China’s Henan province, the hometown of late Chairman Mao Zedong, visits queued in line to visit the former house of Mao.
Visitors also took photos on the Mao Zedong Square, decorated with flowers and written with the words “Centenary of the Communist Party of China(中国共产党百年诞辰)”.
According to the Travel Go online platform, the number of fights to red tourism destinations during the Qingming Festival and May Day holiday this year was 15.6% of all fights booked. It is an increase of 4% compared with the same period in 2019.
To celebrate the centenary of the Communist Party of China, the culture and tourism authorities in Shanghai and East China’s provinces of Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Anhui also offered a series of red tourism—themed activities.
Yan’an, a city rich in revolutionary resources in Northwest China’s Shannxi province, designed ten red tourism routes for the May Day holiday. Dance performances and shows are staged in a red tourism—themed train heading for Yan’an.
