HONG KONG SAR - Media OutReach Newswire - 7 May 2025 - Recently, a well-known travel influencer from Hong Kong was invited by Jiaxing Municipal Bureau of Culture and Tourism and Putike International Travel Service (changzhou) Co., Ltd. to embark on a 3-day, 2-night journey themed "Relaxing Jiaxing". Prior to this, the Bureau held a creative naming event titled "#RelaxingJiaxing" inviting global travel enthusiasts to bestow creative and international names on Jiaxing's natural landscapes, cultural landmarks, ancient towns, urban benchmarks, and humanistic features.

The Hong Kong influencer, who gained popularity by sharing Jiaxing on overseas social media platforms and creatively naming a local scenic spot "Changhong Bridge" as "A Rainbow Lies on the Waves" was invited to tour Jiaxing for free. This exclusive opportunity allows the influencer to experience up close the picturesque scenery and relaxed ambiance of this Jiangnan water town, helping to promote Jiaxing as a destination for inbound tourism in the Asia-Pacific region.

Small bridges and flowing water, ancient towns and old streets, the old canal paths, everywhere you can see residents leisurely drinking tea, reading, and fishing. The Hong Kong influencer also strolled and boated in Xitang and Pu Yuan, listened to storytelling, learned a few authentic Jiaxing phrases from the locals, or went to the three-arched stone bridge spanning the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal - Changhong Bridge, feeling the unique architectural style and profound historical heritage. After a 3-day, 2-night relaxing tour, the Hong Kong influencer exclaimed: "Having lived in Hong Kong for a long time, I'm used to the reinforced concrete buildings and the hustle and bustle of traffic, with immense pressure. Jiaxing, this treasure city, with its ancient towns, streets, and canals, is super relaxing. Walking among them, it feels as if time has slowed down. I heard there will be more folk activities soon, it's really a place you don't want to leave once you've come."

The charm of "Relaxing Jiaxing" goes far beyond what you've heard. It's reported that the Pu Yuan Fashion Week will make a dazzling debut from May 9th to 13th, 2025.
