The Changyu Dongtian Scenic Area maintains a steady temperature of just over 20 C, offering visitors a natural escape from the summer heat. Taking advantage of this, the site has launched a night tour featuring light shows, interactive exhibits, and live performances.

Gao Mengli, a recent graduate from Zigong in Sichuan province, was eligible for free entry under Taizhou's summer travel policy for students and recent graduates, saving 55 yuan ($7.66). He plans to spend a week exploring other attractions in the city. Like many visitors, he praised the combination of entertainment and affordability.

As a result, average visitor numbers have increased by 30 to 40 percent compared to previous years. Tourists from surrounding areas such as Ningbo and Wenzhou have made up a large portion of the influx. The boost in tourism has also benefited nearby night markets and villages.
