During this Spring Festival holiday, the "water project" with Fuzhou characteristics is fascinating. As the protagonist of the "water project", the inland river cruise lines make the scenery of "Fuzhou Leisurely Tour" more flexible. In the new year, what kind of excitement will inland river tourism usher in? The reporter learned from Fuzhou Water Affairs Group on the 22nd that the 2024 "Hundred Miles of Water Fudao, Millennium Fujian Picture Scroll" Dragon Boat Tour will start in Jin'an Lake next month, and 8 dragon boat races will be set up throughout the year, covering six urban districts and Minhou County and High-tech Zone, so that more citizens and tourists can share the blessings.
During the Spring Festival, there are many activities along our inland river, such as the Jin'an Lake New Year Garden Party, the Jin'an Lake 'Longteng Lake Yue' AR Show, the purchase of tickets and answering questions to win gifts on various routes, and the NPC role playing of crew NPCs on the routes of West Lake Park Wharf - Liming Lake Park Wharf. The relevant person in charge of Fuzhou Water Culture and Tourism under Fuzhou Water Group said.
It is understood that during the "two festivals" of the Spring Festival on New Year's Day this year, the inland river tour routes received a total of 51,222 tourists, achieving a comprehensive income (operating income) of 160320,000 yuan.
As the highlight of this year's inland river tourism, the 2024 "Hundred Miles of Water Blessings, Millennium Fujian Capital Picture Scroll" Dragon Boat Tour is planned to be carried out from March to November, and the 8 dragon boat races to be arranged are tentatively scheduled in Gulou District ("Fuze Drum Tower" Jin'an River Dragon Boat Race), Taijiang District ("Yuedong Taijiang" Guangminggang Dragon Boat Race), Cangshan District ("Water Moist Cangshan" Puxia River Dragon Boat Race), Jin'an District ("Enjoy Jin'an" Jin'an Lake Dragon Boat Race), Mawei District ("Mawei Boat Qi" Kuiqi River Dragon Boat Race), Changle District ("Surging Cave Jianghu" Dragon Boat Race), Minhou County ("Qikai Victory" Qishan Lake Dragon Boat Race), High-tech Zone ("Endeavor High-tech" Xiyuan River Dragon Boat Race).
The dragon boat tour is based on a point system and is in the form of a straight race. A total of 16 teams participated in each station, and the event points, bonuses and trophies were set respectively, and the annual champion, runner-up and third runner-up were determined according to the ranking of the cumulative points throughout the year. Each race will combine comprehensive factors such as river hydrological environment to scientifically plan the type of dragon boat and the length of the course.
According to the seasonal climate and holiday conditions, the first stop of the tour and the general opening ceremony are scheduled to be at the "Enjoy Jin'an" station. This annual race on Jin'an Lake will start on the 11th of next month. The tournament is timed, and the 16 teams are ranked according to the length of the time after completing the match.
In this year's dragon boat race, the scope of the competition and the number of participating teams will be upgraded, and other team performance activities and events will be interspersed, and the introduction of 'dragon boat bazaar' and other forms of activities with higher mass participation and stronger cultural atmosphere, coupled with cultural and creative products with the theme of 'Fu' culture and dragon boat culture, will continue to activate the popularity and vitality of 'Fu Boat Leisure', and make Fuzhou's inland river tourism characteristic brand more and more eye-catching.
