The Yangtze River Delta is not only a strong source of tourism output in China, but also a mutual tourist source. The total population of Shanghai, Zhejiang, and Jiangsu accounts for about 10% of the national population, and their GDP totals account for approximately 20% of the national total. Among domestic tourists visiting Shanghai, 55% come from Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions. Similarly, 40% of domestic tourists visiting Zhejiang are from Shanghai. The tourism market in the Yangtze River Delta is mainly within the region, with significant economic flow and frequent business tourism activities. The emergence of the "same-city effect" has greatly enhanced the convenience and comfort of leisure travel for people in the Yangtze River Delta region, as well as increased the density and pace of business activities.

Accompanying the economic integration of the Yangtze River Delta is the integration of tourism, including close connectivity in transportation, information, and scenic spot services within the Yangtze River Delta tourism industry. Especially with the construction of a convenient tourism transportation network traversed by EMU trains, the regional tourism industry of the Yangtze River Delta has entered the "same-city era." This "same-city era" brings to the Yangtze River Delta region an era of leisure and an era of deep cooperation in regional tourism. These trends have already become apparent during this year's "National Day" long holiday.
Tourism: From "elaborate preparation" to "casual outing"
On September 30th, after dining together, Mr. Wang Songsheng and Mrs. Liu Aoru, along with their son and daughter-in-law, took the bread van they had booked to spend two days at a rural homestay in Anji County, Zhejiang Province. Those two days truly made the elderly couple intoxicated.
Recalling the golden week trips a few years ago, whenever their son went out to travel, the elderly always had to go to the supermarket a day in advance to purchase convenient food. From buying tickets to packing luggage, from travel routes to accommodations, everything had to be considered thoroughly. Although traveling during the golden week was a joyful matter, it was also something that required considerable effort from the whole family.
However, what impressed the elderly most about this year's "National Day" trip was the ease of setting off. The ten members of the Wang Songsheng family arrived in Anji County in three hours, checked into a rural homestay, and enjoyed a farmer's feast with fourteen dishes that evening.
The next day, the car drove straight to the entrance of the scenic spot, where everyone found themselves on the summit of Mogan Mountain at an altitude of 900 meters, feeling refreshed and invigorated. Mrs. Liu Aoru said that leaving the hustle and bustle of Shanghai and coming here to experience nature gave her a particularly pleasant mood. Nowadays, when traveling, you can just go without any elaborate preparations. The integrated services of transportation, accommodation, and sightseeing in Zhejiang make one truly feel relaxed.
Mr. Wang Songsheng discovered during this trip to Zhejiang that from Shanghai all the way to Mogan Mountain in Zhejiang, traffic signs and tourist attraction signposts were very prominent and uniform. Gu Shi yi, the owner of Shunfeng Villa in Anji County, introduced that his tour drivers now use the jointly compiled "Yangtze River Delta Tourism Transportation Map," which is very handy to use.
In fact, the tourism resources of the Yangtze River Delta are complementary. Shanghai's urban fashion, Zhejiang's natural mountains and rivers, and Jiangsu's classical gardens—these are just the broad outlines, and the actual content is even richer. The travel experience of the Wang Songsheng family reveals a piece of information—after many years of efforts by relevant departments, the tourism service network of the Yangtze River Delta has taken shape, and leisure vacationers directly benefit from it.
Travel: From "departing at night and arriving in the morning" to "going out early and returning late"
The transportation pattern of the Yangtze River Delta has undergone earth-shaking changes, forming a network-like transportation structure that connects north-south and east-west. This structure weakens the relationship between the "center" and the "periphery," allowing any city within the circle to become a "center." The distance between regions has shortened, making the entire Yangtze River Delta a "big city," and the "same-city effect" is becoming increasingly evident.
After the introduction of railway EMUs, it takes only 18 minutes from Shanghai to Kunshan; 30 minutes from Shanghai to Suzhou; over 70 minutes from Shanghai to Hangzhou, with a train every 15 minutes; and 1 hour 58 minutes from Shanghai to Nanjing, with a train every 12 minutes... During holidays, the peak time intervals between intercity EMU trains can be as short as 5 minutes, initially achieving the "bus-like" operation of railways. This "bus-like" railway, or the appearance of "iron," allows people in the Yangtze River Delta to meet friends, visit relatives, tour, or conduct business, changing from "departing at night and arriving in the morning" to "going out early and returning late." Industry insiders say that "taking the iron" has become a fashion and enjoyment for people in the Yangtze River Delta.
