 ◆ South China Guangxi Attracts 2.7 Million Tourists

The Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region in south China, celebrated for its rich tourism resources,attracted over 2.7 million travelers during the past week-long holidays, which began on May 1.

Guangxi also reported a rise of 11.5 percent in tourist numbers and of 18.9 percent in tourism revenue during the May 1-7 period, compared with the same period of last year.

The local travel bureau attributes the surge in the "golden tour week" to a favorable climate for traveling and a well-organised tourism market.

Many scenic spots in Guangxi launched new attractions such as the tourism festival with the theme of "Magic Nature" held in the region's capital of Nanning and the newly-opened night tour of "Jiutian Waterfall" in Guilin, one of China's most popular tourist destinations.

Guangxi also welcomed many cross-border travelers from neighbouring Vietnam during the holidays.
