When the "Poetry Town and Painting City" crosses the mountains and seas and meets the "Pearl of Ouhai Lake", a "two-way rush" of "beauty and beauty" unfolds in Wenzhou. On August 23, the "Crossing the Mountains and Seas, Falling in Love with Tonglu" Tonglu-Wenzhou Special Cultural Tourism Promotion Event kicked off along Wuma Street in Lucheng District.

"The Hangzhou-Wenzhou high-speed railway is about to be officially opened to traffic. The convenient transportation has shortened the distance between us in time and space. Here, we sincerely invite everyone to visit 'Poetic Hometown and Painting City, Elegant Tonglu', walk into the real scene of Fuchun Mountain Dwelling, enjoy the beautiful scenery, visit the beautiful countryside, taste the flavor of Tonglu, and stay in Fuchun B&B..." At the promotion meeting, Fang Jiyu, Party Secretary and Director of the Tonglu County Culture, Broadcasting, Tourism and Sports Bureau, extended a sincere invitation to the citizens of Wenzhou. The beauty of Tonglu lies not only in its picturesque natural scenery, but also in its long and profound history and culture and rich folk customs. At the scene, carefully prepared programs were performed in turn, including the song "Fall in Love with Tonglu and Fall in Love with You", the intangible cultural heritage folk custom creation show "Shennao High-altitude Lion", the opera song "Plum Red Spring River", etc., which interpreted the charm of the elegant Tonglu from multiple angles and won rounds of applause from the scene.

In order to better promote the sharing of the cultural tourism market along the Hangzhou-Wenzhou high-speed railway, mutual exchanges of tourists, and continue to deepen regional cultural tourism cooperation, cultural tourism enterprises signed a strategic cooperation agreement at the promotion meeting. Tonglu has brought a large number of cultural tourism preferential policies to Wenzhou citizens and passengers who board the train to Tonglu East at stations along the Hangzhou-Wenzhou high-speed railway.

From the opening date of the Hangzhou-Wenzhou high-speed railway to December 31, 2024, passengers boarding the train from stations along the Hangzhou-Wenzhou high-speed railway (Wenzhou South, Wenzhou North, Nanxijiang, Xianju, Pan'an, Hengdian, Yiwu, Pujiang) to Tonglu East can enjoy a 30% discount on tickets to Yaolin Wonderland, Daqishan, and Tianmuxi Rafting, and a free first ticket to Tianzidi Scenic Area (except statutory holidays) by presenting their high-speed railway tickets and ID cards. In addition, 10 Tonglu hotels offer preferential room rate discount policies for Wenzhou citizens.

In the view of Zhang Jian, secretary general of Wenzhou Travel Agency Industry Association, Tonglu has beautiful scenery and delicious river food, making it an ideal short-distance travel destination. "In the future, we will launch more boutique tourist routes from Wenzhou to Tonglu, and connect cities along the Hangzhou-Wenzhou railway, pushing the integration of culture and tourism to a new level," said Zhang Jian.

"The Hangzhou-Wenzhou railway will soon open, and the time and space distance between cities along the high-speed railway will be further shortened. We will hold a tourism promotion tour in cities along the line, with Wenzhou as the first stop." Fang Jiyu said, "This high-speed railway line that 'crosses mountains and seas' will make the interaction between the two cities on the banks of the Fuchun River and the Oujiang River more convenient. This promotion conference is also to hope that more citizens and tourists can get to know Tonglu's delicious food and fun, and further enhance Tonglu's influence and reputation."

The night was dim, the warm lights were on, and the cultural and tourism market was opened simultaneously. Tonglu's intangible cultural heritage, special products, cultural and tourism information, etc. attracted many citizens and tourists. Everyone stopped at the scene to taste Tonglu's delicacies such as fermented rice steamed buns and corn cakes; watch Tonglu paper-cutting, Shen'ao lanterns and other intangible cultural heritage works up close, and feel the beauty of ingenuity and inheritance; there are also exquisite cultural and creative works that are unique.

Citizens and tourists took photos while selecting their favorite "babies", and were immersed in the rich and chic Tonglu fireworks and cultural flavor. Wenzhou citizen Cao Wuqing praised the taste of Tonglu after tasting it: "I have been to Tonglu before, there are many delicious foods and beautiful scenery. After the opening of the Hangzhou-Wenzhou high-speed railway, I can go there again." Wenzhou local Douyin blogger "Zheng Chen Xiaoyu Ayu" believes that Tonglu is a gentle city. The video of checking in Tonglu Tianzidi Scenic Area has received a lot of likes. "Tonglu is beautiful, and it will be more convenient to go to Tonglu in the future. I also hope that through my videos, more Wenzhou locals will know Tonglu and go to Tonglu." She said.

It is worth mentioning that the flash mob through the streets before the promotion meeting brought a wonderful feast of the fusion and collision of the poetic and picturesque city with the warm state, winning cheers from tourists.

Cultural celebrities such as Su Dongpo and Fan Zhongyan traveled through time and space, walked into the Wuma Street District, sang poems with tourists on site, and talked about the past and present. In a unique and novel way, they conveyed the enthusiasm and gifts from Tonglu to Wenzhou citizens and tourists.
