In the interview, the reporter found that in addition to foreign tourists who like in-depth tours and niche tours, there are also changes in the tourist population, and "silver hair tours" and "parent-child tours" have become a new boom in inbound tourism.
"Silver tourism" has become a new craze for inbound tourism
At the site of the Qin Terracotta Warriors and Horses Pit, the reporter met a group of six "silver-haired tourists" from three families in the Netherlands, all over 60 years old.
Netherlands tourist: Traveling to China is on my bucket list, and now that I'm retired, I finally have time to travel here.
In Erenhot, Inner Mongolia, the reporter also encountered a group of Mongolia's "silver-haired regiments." There are 6 couples in the group, the oldest is 88 years old, and the average age reaches 60 years.
Mongolia tourists: China and Mongolia are very close, I have been to many provinces and cities in China, including Zhangjiajie, Hohhot, Beijing, China's development is very fast.
In the Fubo Mountain Scenic Area on the shore of the Li River in Guilin, Guangxi, more than 30 "silver-haired" tourists from abroad are exploring the cultural charm of cliff carvings.
Brazil tourist: I went to a lot of places and it was very convenient because all the traffic was easy and orderly.
Italy tourists: Traveling to China is very simple now, there are many flights from Europe. China is one of the countries with the most UNESCO heritage sites in the world, so we are happy to visit this country.
Foreign tourists also come to China to "walk the baby"
In addition, family tour groups with children are also everywhere, and many teenagers come to China for study.
Jasmine, Australia tourist: In the book, I read that China is very traditional, but when I actually went to Beijing, I found that it was actually a combination of tradition and modernity, and the contrast between the two was really interesting.

Guangzhou Chimelong Resort, a popular attraction in China, also attracts foreign children. Since the beginning of this year, with the introduction of the policy of Hong Kong and Macao cars going north, coupled with the blessing of the Shenzhen-Zhongshan Corridor and the opening of new urban railway lines, the proportion of overseas and Hong Kong and Macao guests has increased significantly.
