[Some tourists will return to the national holidays]

The return of domestic travel to China is seen during the Golden Week holidays from October 1st. Tourists from all over China are returning, except for areas marked as "medium risk" or "high risk" where local infections have occurred. However, there is a risk of unplanned emergency lockdowns, and short-distance trips and drive trips are the main consumption trends. Group travel is still a difficult situation.

Among them, Universal Beijing, which opened its grand opening, has become the most popular tourist destination in China.

CHINA8 also covered Universal Beijing from Shanghai to Beijing during the holidays. This time, I experienced the latest sleeper train in China.

"camp site"
Alert level 2 continued until October 18, but there are some mitigations.
One of them is that you don't need to wear a mask if you carry a mask and have a social distance when you work in the forest or on the beach.
The photo is a campsite in Miaoli.
Camping is gradually becoming popular in Taiwan, and it seems that more and more people are going out on weekends and consecutive holidays.
