The very first day of the Golden Week saw people’s keen interest in travelling, highlighted by self-driving tour, family tour and independent tour.
According to the city’s Holiday Office, approximately 520,000 travelers have come to Ningbo, equal to the number of last year. Judging from the visitors’ distribution, the number of tourists surged in TV & Film City in Xiangshan, the hot spring scenic spots in Ninghai and the natural scenic spots in Yuyao. 
This year, along with the activities during the ongoing Ningbo Tourism Festival, many scenic spots have introduced some preferential measures, rendering tourists with the fun of both festivals.
Self-driving tour is a real eye-catcher of the weeklong holiday. Parking lots in some scenic spots, such as Siming Mountain National Forest Park, Dongqian Lake and TV & Film City are crammed with private cars.
Many people spent their first day in Children’s Paradise and the Sea World. In Tiangong Castle 20 children spent their birthday working in a special pavilion and then brought presents for parents with their double “wages”.
Catering the features of independent travelers, some scenic spots put on activities focused on interaction.
The TV & Film City in Xiangshan is crowed with tourists as well. With well-decorated yards, tea-houses and hotels, coupled with other settings of Song Dynasty such as ancient wedding, sugar-coated figurine and peanut cakes, the tourists can experience a real life time-travel.
Some other interesting festivals are also available. For example, the long-awaited opening ceremony of Seafood Festival in Xiangshan, the group wedding ceremony in Wulei Mountain, Cixi, and the Tofu Festival in Ninghai.
The whole city is immersed in a sea of joy.
