Guangzhou organizes an event to encourage tourists to spend the Spring Festival in the city. |
A promotion of the Guangzhou flower fair, the annual event which starts three days ahead of the Chinese Spring Festival in Guangzhou, was held in Zhejiang Province on Jan. 7, 2016, to attract local tourists to the capital city of southern China’s Guangdong Province during the holiday season.
"The flower fair has a history of more than 100 years, and is an essential part of the city’s Spring Festival celebrations," said Wu Dizheng, vice director of the Publicity Department of the CPC Guangzhou Committee.
Apart from the fair, folk art performances, local intangible heritage displays, light-themed concerts and other cultural activities will be staged during the 15-day carnival for celebrations.
"Local travel agencies have arranged almost 200 special offers and travel routes with various holiday-themed events," said Wu Qingsong, vice director at the Guangzhou Tourism Administration.
Guangzhou also launched an initiative to invite 20 families worldwide to enjoy the New Year’s celebration during the holiday season.
Over 2,000 families from 40 countries, ranging from Asia, America, Europe, Oceania and Africa, have signed up for the activity.
Mr.Qiu hailing from Hangzhou, capital of Zhejiang Province, is anxious to be involved in the activity, saying, "As a graduate from South China University of Technology in Guangzhou, I have special feelings for the city and want to return there during the holiday with my family."
