The high temperature in the midsummer, the heat of the flames and the hot tourism market when the Rockets were lift off, and became the keywords of Hainan on the last weekend in July. At around 14:38 on July 24th, as the launch headquarters announced the success of the launching task of the Chinese Space Station's questioning compartment, once again "onlookers" caused by the Chinese aerospace exploration activity The affected Hainan tourism market rebounded strongly again.

"I had already booked a room two months ago. Although the price is several times more expensive than the normal price, it is difficult to bind a hotel with such a good viewing angle of viewing on the launch day." A person likes it. Mr. Meng, an amateur photography enthusiast who filmed aerospace themes, said in exchange with a reporter from the Huaxia Times on July 24. He has come to Wenchang, Hainan many times to shoot and observe the off -the -bed launch. For the small town of the launch site, Longlou is familiar with "the door is cleaned around his home."

As the task of Chinese space station has brought more launch tasks in the past two years, Wenchang, a popular tourist destination that was not in Hainan, has begun to be well known by more people, and a wave of wave tourists who have poured in with the "launch cycle" gradually gradually gradually gradually gradually gradually gradually gradually gradually gradually. Expand the "traditional projects" of Hainan's business cards from the "traditional projects" from coconut forest beaches and Kangyang tax exemption.

New hotspot of Hainan Tourism

Since the successful first flight of the Long March 7 Launar Rockets in Wenchang Aerospace in June 2016, here has begun to undertake the launch of the spacecraft such as the Earth's synchronous orbital satellite, large -quality polar rail satellite, large tonnage space station, and deep space detection satellite Task. Compared with several other aerospace launch sites in China, because it is located in Hainan, which is located in Hainan, the transportation is more convenient, and the wide range of observation points can be widely available. The frequency of launching tasks such as high -profile space stations has increased. Wenchang has gradually "out of the circle" from the earliest unpopular destinations of only sporadic aerospace enthusiasts or photographers.

According to a person who launched the Rockets in Wenchang on the 24th on the 24th, a reporter from the Huaxia Times reported that it lived in a small business hotel in Longlou Town. Because the launching rack is only a few kilometers away, it can be directly in the hotel. Observation and shooting on the top of the building, "There are several hotels like such a hotel in Longlou Town. The store usually provides the rooftop for free to use the rooftop guests. , The front row observation position is densely packed with a tripod and a telephoto camera. "

At the well -known local attraction of Wenchang, Tong Guoling, because of its location overlooking the launch site, has also become a popular shooting and observation point. A photographer who had reached the Tongguling Observation Station in the early morning of the 24th on the 24th of the 24th to the reporter of the Huaxia Times that the launch time window was as before and after noon this time. If you want to get the best shooting position " It takes four or five in the morning or even seize the opportunity.

According to the experience of this reporter's previous experience in Wenchang Viewing Rockets, because it is only 70 kilometers from Haikou Meilan Airport, passengers can choose to take the high -speed rail or rent a car directly after flying to Haikou. Many passengers will choose to go to Wanning, Sanya and other places by the way before the launch date.

And like this time at noon on the weekend, it is considered to be the most friendly arrangement for tourists. According to Mr. Meng, "I can fly to Haikou on Saturday. After the launch, check out and return to Haikou directly, take the flight of the afternoon of the day to return to Beijing, nothing delayed. "

Because it is just summer, coupled with aerospace popularization education has become a major choice for many parents to arrange holiday activities for children, which is one of the main reasons for Hainan's high popularity. Although Mr. Xie, who is currently living in Shanghai, often travels to Hainan for a business trip, still takes his family to Wenchang this weekend. According to his statement, it is to "take a child to see the rocket to launch."

Because Hainan is a popular tourist destination in itself, it is very high with all parts of the country, especially in some major cities to fly to Haikou and Sanya every day. According to a number The reporter revealed that although the fares flying to Haikou around July 22 and 23, although the fares to fly to Haikou are "almost no discounts", they are still very high, and the price of local hotels has also increased significantly some time ago.

"Usually the specific time of the rocket launch was announced a few days before the launch, but for a long time, many aerospace enthusiasts summarized an experience. One day the full room is full, the probability is the launch day. "The aforementioned aerospace photographer told this reporter.

As another excellent observation point, every launch date of Qishuiwan Beach will become a higher density of traditional popular beach baths such as Sanya, and even every reef is occupied by aerospace enthusiasts early.

The number of hotel reservations in July soared

According to data from Qunar.com, Hainan's high popularity brings "overflow effects" this summer. In June, Wanning and Lodong Hotel reservations increased by more than 3 times compared with 2019. From July to the present, the hotel's reservation volume exceeded 15.7%in the same period in 2019. Since China started the construction of space stations in 2021, due to the large scale and tonnage of construction, the overall size and tonnage of construction need to be sent to space in batches through multiple label rockets, including the core compartment, which include the core compartment, which includes the core compartment, and of which Experimental compartment and related material supply, in addition to the spacecraft who need to lift off at Jiuquan Launch Center, most of the other tasks are borne by Wenchang Launch Center.

According to the public plan, 6 launch tasks will be carried out as a space station construction stage this year. In October this year, the Mengtian experimental cabin was connected with the sky and the core compartment to complete the construction of the space station. As the exploration of Chinese space continues to deepen, the frequency of launching tasks is higher.

Although Hainan has always been one of the most popular tourist destinations in China, compared with other coastal tourism destinations at home and abroad, it is also the key to creating unique competitiveness to continue to attract tourists. The local government also realizes space culture. The role of the tourism industry has been carried out, and some attempts were carried out.

In recent years, relying on the space launch site, Wenchang is vigorously developing the special aerospace industry. It is hoped that through the aerospace launch tourism activities combined with the current popular activities to create a aerospace IP and innovative travel experience, attracting more people to Wenchang.
