Despite sporadic cases of COVID-19 detected in some areas, domestic tourism's growth momentum remains high, with people's passion for travel undimmed thanks to efficient epidemic control measures and the growing number of people receiving vaccinations.

Attractions highlighting "red tourism" were popular among travelers as this year marks the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China.
