As autumn brings refreshing breezes, the scenic beauty of Lingnan shines brighter than ever. With the National Day approaching, Guangdong is rolling out a major cultural and tourism initiative, extending a warm invitation to both domestic and international tourists to "celebrate National Day in Guangdong". The province's 21 cities have meticulously planned 20 premium themed travel routes for the holiday, offering tangible discounts and attractive experiences.
Food is one of Guangdong's most famous draws. From seafood feasts to authentic Cantonese dim sum, from fragrant roast pigeon to beef hotpot, the diverse array of local delicacies leaves tourists satisfied and longing for more. During the National Day holiday, with a focus on food, Huizhou will launch the "Delicious Huizhou" Food Carnival, while Jieyang will highlight its "Green Lion" (lion dance) cultural IP, combining local specialties with tourism to provide a richer, more immersive experience for visitors.
Culture is the heart and soul of Guangdong's cultural tourism. From Foshan's F3 Dragon Boat Super League to Meizhou's Rice Wine Culture Week , from Qingyuan's millennium-old folk parades to Chaozhou's Yingge dance performances, cultural landmarks like the Bai'etan Greater Bay Area Art Center and the National Archives of Publications and Culture's Guangzhou branch continue to offer fresh cultural experiences. Visitors touring Guangdong during the National Day holiday will certainly be captivated by the unique charm of Lingnan culture.
Innovation injects vitality and endless possibilities into Guangdong's tourism. In Shenzhen, large-scale drone shows will dazzle the skies; in Shantou, the Nan'ao Island will host a "Music Market" with a music festival; and in Yangjiang, an ocean-themed stage play will be a new highlight of the holiday. These initiatives are part of Guangdong's broad efforts to integrate tourism with various industries, creating a flourishing cultural and travel scene.
The invitation to "celebrate National Day in Guangdong" aims to turn every first-time visitor into a returning guest. This holiday season, friends from all corners of the world will be welcomed with open arms—what could be more delightful?
