Guangzhou celebrated the arrival of 2026 with exceptional tourism results over the three-day New Year holiday. The city attracted more than 6.3 million visitors, generating a robust 5.7 billion yuan in tourism revenue.

This success was driven by a diverse lineup of over 500 cultural and tourism events across four themed sectors — premium performances, trendy entertainment, scenic attractions, and museum exhibitions.

Industry data confirms Guangzhou's leading appeal. According to major platforms including Ctrip, the city ranked among the top three most popular destinations nationwide for both domestic and international travelers during the holiday period.

A telling highlight of the festive energy was set on New Year's Eve, when the Guangzhou Metro set a national record by transporting 14.1 million passengers in a single day.
