"If you ask where the flowers most impress tourists in Wuhan?" Wang Junjie, a junior student, gave the answer: Paulownia flowers photographed in Jiefang Park, "When I shot in the park, I saw not only flowers, but also children flying kites, adults in the sun, and many citizens living in the city. This scene really moved me and made me fall in love with Wuhan".

Why do young people love Wuhan? On the afternoon of May 22, the 2024 First Wuhan University Student Cultural Tourism Style Competition of Wuhan Tourism Association came to an end. The students who participated in the competition gave their answers by virtue of original short videos and mascots designed for Wuhan tourism.

Wuhan in their eyes

Sincere and warm, worth coming

Wang Junjie is from the School of Economics and Management of Wuchang Institute of Technology, Zhejiang Province. This time, he and his classmates jointly created a short video "Jiangcheng Blossom", with "flowers" as the opening theme, which aims to attract the attention of the audience by virtue of the popularity of flower appreciation, hoping to let more young people know that Wuhan still has the sunny atmosphere of fireworks in the afternoon. The video started shooting at the end of March. The final film covers the beautiful scenery of Wuhan, and also contains the deep love of the creative team for Wuhan. "After three years of studying in Wuhan, I met many Wuhan people, who always showed us their most sincere smiling faces. When I took the subway line 1, I talked with an old man in Wuhan; the landlady who sold bean skins on the roadside would greet me warmly and send me an extra portion of soymilk." Wang Junjie said that now, the route planning of his and his classmates' travel in Wuhan has gone deep into the old streets The old community "hopes to learn more about the operation of this city and feel its profound historical and cultural heritage".

Luo Xianhua, a junior majoring in new media advertising from Hubei University of Economics, and his classmates brought a short video "Falling in love with a city is like sneezing". He described the feeling of this theme as describing their feelings of falling in love with Wuhan, "caught off guard". In the short video, there is a scene where the boss of a beef noodle restaurant in Wuhan rubbed his shoulder for his wife, and his face was full of smiles. Luo Xianhua said that this shot is not a pose. At that time, after taking pictures on the red wall of the Yellow Crane Tower, the shooting team casually walked into a beef noodle shop in Liangdao Street. The boss and his wife were very enthusiastic and helped them shoot. "At that time, the student in charge of photography had almost finished filming and was ready to finish work. The boss saw that the landlady was slightly tired, so he helped her rub her shoulders. The scene was captured by the students, and it was also the moment that we fell in love with Wuhan, and felt that the city was extremely warm." Luo Xianhua said that the boss and his wife of the beef noodle restaurant were warm and generous, with warmth in their daily life, "We think that this is the best demonstration for us to firmly believe that Wuhan is a worthy city."

Wuhan they love

Full of opportunities and vitality

"I like to go to Lingbo Gate to watch the sunrise and sunset, and look forward to the opening of the new Lingbo Gate." Shi Xiaopeng is a postgraduate majoring in tourism at Hubei University. He came to Han from Gansu for more than a year. The short video "One flower on the first floor, one lake, one Wuhan" created by him this time shows the famous landmarks of Wuhan, such as Yellow Crane Tower and East Lake, in poetic language. At ordinary times, he likes to go to Lingbo Gate. The plank road, lake water and sunrise are integrated together, which makes him feel particularly unique. He also likes to ride on the East Lake Greenway. This greenway in the city makes people feel particularly relaxed and comfortable.

Hu Jialin, a student from Central China Normal University, and her classmates created the short video Wuhan is an inclusive city. Hu Jialin said that none of the team members were local people in Wuhan. They showed the city and told stories about Wuhan with real scenes and words in the video. In everyone's opinion, while Wuhan is developing rapidly, it has not lost the temperature that should be in the city well - the vigorous development provides more opportunities and possibilities for everyone who comes to Wuhan, and everyone who works hard in Wuhan may stay in this city to jointly continue the Wuhan story.

Graduate students from Wuhan University of Light Industry majoring in agricultural management designed the mascot for Wuhan tourism - "Huahua". Li Pingqian, a team representative from Shandong, is a graduate student in Wuhan. He introduced that the team selected three elements of Wuhan Plum Blossom, Yellow Crane Tower and "Great River and Great Lake" to design the character image of "Huahua", and used pleasant smile expression to convey the hospitality spirit of Wuhan. In Li Pingqian's opinion, Wuhan is one of the cities with the largest number of college students, and is very inclusive. "The cherry blossom in Wuhan University and the East Lake ride are romantic, and the night view of the Yellow Crane Tower is shocking. Jianghan Road has a glorious fusion of ancient and modern times. I also visited many places, such as botanical gardens, bosom friends, Mulan Grassland... It's all different." Now, he and his classmates prefer to go to traditional communities to eat and stroll, "to feel the special flavor of life in Wuhan".

Wuhan Tour Line designed by them

Diversified, inclusive and popular

In the Wuhan Tourism Route Design Competition, Li Chenzi, Zhang Xinyao and other students from the tourism major of Central China Normal University designed a "Wuhan Time travel Route". On the first day of "stepping on the long river of history and appreciating ancient culture", visit Hubei Provincial Museum, Qingchuan Pavilion, Yangtze River Bridge, Hubu Lane and Yellow Crane Tower. The next day, "looking back at the modern history and experiencing the multicultural integration", you visited Liangdao Street, Tanhualin, Hankou historical area and bosom friend number. On the third day, "explore the harmonious coexistence of modern science and technology and nature", visit the China Architecture Science and Technology Museum, the air track and the East Lake. "This route can not only visit the popular scenic spots of Wuhan, but also integrate the ancient and modern image of Wuhan, demonstrating the inclusive spirit of the city." Li Chenzi said that this route is designed for inbound tourists, and is positioned as "mass tourism". When designing the route, we found a large number of overseas Chinese students to conduct questionnaire surveys, and selected the attractions that young people like and like on social media.

The 2024 First Wuhan University Students Cultural Tourism Style Competition is divided into four tracks: short videos with the theme of "10000 reasons to love Wuhan", micro explanations of the red spirit of "Red Footprint · Magnificent Chapter", the design of Wuhan tourism mascots of "Painting Cultural Tourism · Smart River City" and the design of tourism routes of "Traveling in Hubei · Loving in Chu". On the scene of the final, the students took turns to show and explain their works, and accepted the comments and questions of the judges, and finally decided the winner. Professor Li Huiqin, judge of the competition, secretary-general of the Tourism Education Branch of Wuhan Tourism Association, and director of the Department of Tourism Management of China University of Geosciences (Wuhan), believes that the vitality and inclusiveness of Wuhan is the theme of concern for the college students. The entries express young people's love for Wuhan's typical "Jianghu culture", warm and happy citizen life and rich and delicious food culture through a unique perspective. In addition, the impression of a heroic city, the prosperity of a modern city, and the romance of gorgeous cherry blossoms are all reasons why college students fall in love with Wuhan.
