The situation of the Huaiyang Long Lake Lotus Appreciation Tourism Activity is better than in previous years. The government has made great efforts to promote it.
For the first time, the Huaiyang County organized a professional tourism promotion team to promote Huaiyang tourism in the surrounding cities' tourist markets, with a focus on the upcoming "2009 China Huaiyang Long Lake Lotus Appreciation Tourism Month".
It is understood that the promotion team went to tourist markets in surrounding cities such as Shangqiu, using various forms including symposiums, graphic displays, landscape video broadcasts, special promotional meetings, distribution of promotional materials, gifting scenic spot tickets and tourism souvenirs to comprehensively promote Huaiyang County's tourism, with a focus on the "Ten Activities" related to the "Long Lake Lotus Appreciation Month". The promotion team held over 10 symposiums and promotional meetings, distributed 2000 promotional materials, gifted 10,000 scenic spot tickets, and signed cooperation agreements with over 100 entities.
Through the tourism promotion, various places have gained a new understanding of Huaiyang County's tourism, greatly praising its development in recent years, and unanimously expressing their intention to regularly organize "one-day tours" to Huaiyang, striving to organize "two-day tours", and to cooperate for mutual benefit with Huaiyang County's scenic spots in the long term. During the ongoing promotion activities, a star-rated travel agency from Xuchang City successfully organized two "one-day tour" groups of nearly a hundred people who were the first to visit Huaiyang County for sightseeing.
Currently, Sun Feifei and Tan Yaowen are shooting the movie "Fuxi, the Human King" in Huaiyang under a 40-degree high temperature. Sun Feifei said: "These two days in Huaiyang have been very hot, Nüwa's costumes are mostly made of feathers and velvet, wearing them feels like taking a sauna."
