As the COVID-19 epidemic subsides in China, Zhejiang's tourism industry has seen a gradual recovery in recent days, with many scenic spots, restaurants, and homestays starting to reopen.

A variety of activities have also been held throughout the province to attract tourists.

The Nandong Yigu scenic area, located in Zhoushan, is a popular place for university art students to hone their art skills. It has attracted around 4,000 visitors every weekend since reopening in late February.

Visitors enjoyed the blooming rape flowers, paintings of fishermen, unique island scenery, and the special local cuisine.

Zhejiang province has implemented many measures to help boost local tourism, such as issuing more than 1 billion yuan ($141.07 million) in coupons to tourists, releasing a series of guidelines, and introducing 99 new travel routes.
