Conduct tourism theme activities again and publish scenic spot promotional activities and nearly 100 top-quality sightseeing routes

In January of this year, the activity of “a million citizens traveling to the Southeast, and Northeast Chongqing” was launched in Chongqing. The operations have been suspended due to the outbreak, and many citizens didn’t have enough chances to see how enjoyable the theme activities and top-quality sightseeing routes are. These theme activities will get on the stage again with the recovery of the tourism industry. The districts and counties in northeast and southeast Chongqing have taken this chance and introduced a series of scenic spot promotional activities and the latest top-quality sightseeing routes. Also, the Three Gorges Cruise Routes are scheduled to officially resume operation in early August, with luxury cruise ships to follow successively. The Yangtze Gold 2 cruise ship is the first to return sailing on August 7 formally, Chongqing-Yichang every Friday, and Yichang-Chongqing every Monday.
