Have you kept up with the recent Citywalk windstorm that has taken the network by storm?
Citywalk refers to a way of traveling casually and feeling the cityscape, history and culture. After the popularity of fast-paced, high-intensity "special forces" tourism has faded, Citywalk is becoming a new favorite in the tourism industry. DT Research Institute, a subsidiary of CBN, mentioned in the "2023 Tourism Research Report" that among the new travel methods, 82% of people want to try Citywalk, ranking first.
The fireworks of the world are the most soothing to mortals. In the urban fabric, there is natural generosity, humanistic romance, but also surprises around corners and unexpected encounters. Citywalk's strong sense of interaction, experience, and relaxation can give people the opportunity to explore the unknown and discover new things, allowing people to have a deeper connection with the city.
In the hot summer, please check the high-quality Citywalk routes recommended by the official accounts of tourism bureaus/cultural and tourism departments on today's headlines, take a look at those underrated treasure tourism cities, and pick one as a summer travel destination~
