At this year's Plum Blossom Festival, "Suzhou Jinting, an ancient village in Taihu Lake" will be awarded the "Expo Tourism Demonstration Site" and the "Expo Suzhou Theme Forum Tour" will be launched at the same time. Following the success of the last Plum Blossom Festival in which Jiangsu and Nanjing joined hands to create a large-scale event, this Taihu Plum Blossom Festival will continue to cooperate with Nanjing Plum Blossom Festival and hold the "Docking Expo, Suning Joins Hands with Plum Blossom Festival" at the opening ceremony. After the opening ceremony, 40 buses full of tourists will set foot on Taihu Lake for the first time to enjoy plum blossoms: Wulin Meihai-visit Taihu Wetland Park-visit Taihu Pearl Hall. This is also a special tourist route designed and launched by Shanghai Tourism Distribution Center to cooperate with this Taihu Plum Blossom Festival.
Plum blossom baby Meimei, as the brand mascot of Taihu Plum Blossom Festival, will make its debut at the opening ceremony. The design of "Mei Mei" takes Yu Hongmei as the model, and its smart and sweet image brings plum blossoms in Taihu Lake closer to tourists, which will become a kind guide for Taihu Lake tourism during the Plum Blossom Festival. The first batch of experience cards will connect the beautiful scenery of Taihu Lake, and more than 30 resorts, scenic spots and restaurants, including Taihu Park and Taihu Golf Hotel, will provide corresponding discounts with this card.
