Yangzhou has organized a cultural tourism extravaganza that will run from May through June.

A research camp comprising around 40 students from South Korea and China embarked on a two-day visit to Yangzhou on May 16.

Yangzhou saw its tourism market thriving with 6.25 million visitors during the May Day holiday, with overnight stays surging 20.3 percent year-on-year.

During the May Day holiday, Dongguan Street, a historic Ming Dynasty (1368-1644) thoroughfare in Yangzhou, hosted a themed garden party.

A group of about 40 media journalists from the Yangtze River Delta (YRD) region and the Greater Bay Area (GBA) explored Yangzhou, East China's Jiangsu province, on April 23.
