Characteristics of ancient tourism and travel

Travel and tourism in ancient China can be seen in the following five characteristics: 1. Ancient tourism was mostly a personal activity of a few people. Tourists mainly include emperors, nobles, bureaucrats, landlords and other people and their vassal literati class. Ordinary people only travel nearby during Jiaqing Festival, such as hiking and rushing to the temple fair. 2. Most domestic travelers mainly study and travel, which is carried out under the influence of the ancient thought of "reading thousands of books and traveling Wan Li Road". 3. Ancient tourism activities were closely related to the development of social politics, economy and culture at that time. When the society is stable and strong, tourism activities are particularly active, otherwise, it will be devastated. Therefore, in different historical periods, tourism has different contents and characteristics of the times. 4. The main forms of international tourism are political exchange (such as the exchange of envoys), religious pursuit of law and commercial trade. The journey is difficult and takes a long time. Most of the achievements of travel appear in the themes of "travel notes" and "experiences". 5. Tourism basically stays in the travel stage, which is essentially different from tourism aimed at obtaining economic income. However, some private hotels and tourism have rudiments of primary tourism.
