Reporters learned from the Maritime Bureau of the Ministry of Transport that with the concentration of Qingming tomb-sweeping and spring short-distance travel demand, the national waterway passenger traffic during the Qingming holiday is expected to reach 4.035 million person-times. During the Qingming holiday, the estimated waterway passenger flow in Zhejiang will reach 750,000 person-times. The local government has opened a special ferry to Xiao Mayi Island for tomb-sweeping, providing targeted services for the masses who go to the islands for tomb-sweeping. In addition to tomb-sweeping trips, spring short-distance water tourism has also become a popular choice for the Qingming holiday. In Qingdao, the "Night Cruise in Qingdao Sea Lights Show" route has seen a peak in passenger flow, with passenger ships departing from the Qingdao Olympic Sailing Center pier, sailing in the waters of Fushan Bay, highlighting features such as "seaside light show" and encountering the "fluorescent sea" for a unique night scenery experience.
