What is folk tourism?

Folk tourism refers to the sum of material and spiritual activities for people to watch, understand, know and participate in local customs or stay temporarily. In folk tourism, for tourists, the more exotic this tourist destination is, the more attractive it is. If the charm is to last forever, tourists must remember its folk cultural characteristics.

The essence of folk tourism is folk culture. Folk culture is the crystallization of the wisdom of people in a region in their production practice and creative life, which makes tourists feel a strong folk culture atmosphere and promotes the local tourism immeasurably. Obviously, it is impossible for tourists to learn about their rich folk culture passively and quickly in the process of traveling, but it would be much better if they started with microscopic and representative things to arouse their interest and let them take the initiative to ask for them. There are countless successful tourist cities, such as Jingdezhen (porcelain), Wuxi (purple sand) and Weifang (kite).

A folk guide who can publicize local history and folk culture and let tourists remember local customs is successful.
