What is the special significance of May 19th?

China Tourism Day is set on May 19th because the first opening day of Xu Xiake's Travels is May 19th, and the opening of Xu Xiake's Travels, A Journey to Mount Tiantai, writes: "The ugly March is gloomy, and since Ninghai went out to the west gate, the clouds are getting brighter and brighter, and people are happy."

Among them, the "March of the Ugly" is May 19th, 1613. Moreover, the homonym of "5.19" is "I want to swim", which means to appeal to our people to enjoy tourism and feel the beauty of tourism.

Xu Xiake was recognized as a great traveler and geographer in Ming Dynasty by Chinese people. On May 19th, 21, Ma Shaoqin, a native of Ninghai, Zhejiang Province, proposed to set up a "China Tourism Day" for the first time in the name of Ninghai Xu Xiake Tourism Club, and suggested that May 19th be named "China Tourism Day". On March 3th, 211, the executive meeting of the State Council passed a resolution, so since 211, May 19th every year has become "China Tourism Day".

The significance of setting up China Tourism Day is actually to strengthen tourism propaganda, cultivate our citizens' awareness of tourism, and encourage people to engage in extensive tourism activities, thus improving the quality of life of citizens and promoting the development of tourism.

Up to 222, China Tourism Day has been held for 1 times, and the theme of each year's activities is different from that of the main venue city. In 211, the theme of the first China Tourism Day was "Reading thousands of books and Traveling Wan Li Road", with Ningbo as the main venue, Wuxi as the main venue in 212 and Chongqing as the main venue in 213.
