Chinese tourists' return vitalizes world tourism

ENTERING a new year, China has made continuous adjustments to its COVID-19 prevention measures, leading to the gradual recovery of its citizens traveling overseas.

According to Trip.com Group data, outbound flight bookings increased 254% in late December, the day after it was announced that travel restrictions would be eased as of Jan 8.

Chinese tourists willingness to visit New Zealand a boon

The most popular destinations so far are Singapore, South Korea, China’s Hong Kong, Japan and Thailand, based on Trip.com Group bookings. For long-haul destinations, the US, UK, New Zealand and Australia lead the pack.

About 1,000 Chinese tourists arrived in New Zealand in the week early last month, a significant increase from three months earlier, according to the country’s statistics agency Stats NZ.

The orderly resumption of outbound travel for Chinese tourists will be “a major boon to New Zealand’s tourism industry,” said Lisa Li, managing director of New Zealand’s largest travel agency.

Tourism Minister Stuart Nash said about 150,000 Chinese tourists were expected to visit New Zealand in 2023. “Our regions have already seen a boost in tourism spending and this looks set to continue in the summer months.”

SE Asian countries show heroic welcome

Compared to some countries such as the US, Japan, South Korea, Canada, France, and India which ask Chinese visitors for COVID-19 tests or long waiting times before entry, many countries who rely on the tourist industry

have shown a positive attitude toward their “old Chinese friends” in the hope of revitalizing their economies.

On Jan 9, at the Suvarnabhumi Airport, Thailand Deputy Prime Minister and Public Health Minister Anutin Charnvirakul and other senior officials welcomed 269 tourists from the Chinese city of Xiamen, who were greeted with flowers and gift bags.

The increase in the number of tourists entering Thailand from China and other countries is a good sign for Thailand’s tourism sector, generating income and creating jobs for the people which contributes to the country’s economic recovery, Anutin said. A total of 15 flights from China accommodat -

ing about 3,465 passengers were expected to arrive in Bangkok on Jan 9, he said.

The Thai government expects about 300,000 Chinese tourists to visit Thailand in the first three months of this year.

For Chinese tourists, Southeast Asia is the preferred destination. According to a survey from the ITB China published in December, 76 percent of Chinese travel agencies listed Southeast Asia as the preferred destination after the restoration of outbound tourism.

Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, and Thailand announced that inbound travelers from China wouldn’t need pre-departure COVID tests.

New animated series based on Journey to the West a big hit

A new Chinese animated folktale series earned more than 10 million views during the first three days of January 2023, becoming the newest big hit. The show currently holds an average rating of 9.6/10 on Chinese review platform Douban from more than 60,000 reviews.

Eight Chinese fantasy stories will be featured in the series, a collaboration between Shanghai Animated Film Studio and Bilibili.

These stories, inspired by well-known characters from traditional Chinese literature works, will offer a new interpretation of “yao,” which literally means demon or monster in Chinese.

The sequences shot in 4K blend diverse elements of Chinese culture and arts, such as paper-cut-

ting and watercolor painting, shadow plays, Peking Opera and water-color paintings, are on display in the series.

Based on the famous nov -

el Journey to the West , the first 22-minute episode Nobody follows a low-ranking pig demon as he prepares to kill a monk and his disciples, the main characters

from the book, on orders from the Wolf King and his bear supervisor. Chinese netizens gave Nobody overwhelming praise, saying the producers have injected new vitality into traditional Chinese classics through creativity and that they are eagerly waiting for the next episode of the series.

“I won’t let my friends miss this excellent work; it’s China’s pride,” said a 33-year-old Shanghai white-collar worker.

“We still need to see if this type of storytelling can be accepted by overseas audiences, but the series should be internationally competitive as it illustrates the essence of Chinese culture very well,” said Zhang Yiwu, a professor at Peking University.

One of the stamps depicts a personified blue rabbit holding a pen in its right hand and a letter in its left hand, symbolizing the drawing of a blueprint for the new year, as “blue rabbit” is pronounced similarly to “blueprint” in Chinese.

The other stamp features three rabbits running in a circle, an auspicious implication for the “circle of life” as well as family reunion and happiness. The background behind the three rabbits bears decorative patterns showcasing the legendary story of “a jade rabbit ramming herbal medicines”, which conveys the sincere wishes for prosperity of the country and the well-being of the people.

Rabbit in art bears romance and wishes for health

In Chinese culture, the rabbit is not only a symbol of good luck, but also connected to longevity and fertility.

Ancient Chinese people thought that there were beasts on the sun and moon. The one on the moon is a rabbit called Yu Tu [Jade Rabbit], so the image of the rabbit has always accompanied the moon.” They also believed that immortality could be attained through prayer and medicine, so many ancient paintings or articles of clothing to feature rabbits grinding herbs with a mortar and pestle besides the goddess or on the moon. As time went on, the rabbit also gradually became a symbol of health and longevity.
