Jiangxi: Continuously deepen regional cooperation in cultural and tourism fields between Hong Kong and Macao
The fragrant aroma of oolong tea spreads over Victoria Harbour, the ancient dance of the Nu Opera lights up the stage of Hoi Haang, and the bus with the theme of Gan Opera tours the streets and alleys of Hong Kong and Macao...One after another, cultural interactions spanning mountains and seas have been successfully carried out along the banks of the Pearl River and the Pearl River Estuary, presenting a dazzling array of activities.In the vast land of Gan Prefecture thousands of miles away, the Tengwang Pavilion is filled with guests and visitors, and the clouds of Mount Lu attract tourists to enjoy the scenery. A group of tourists from Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao follow the cultural and scenic heritage to visit Gan Province, immersing themselves in the cultural and ecological charm of "Picturesque Jiangxi, the Scenery is Extraordinary".Jiangxi shares geographical proximity, cultural affinity and commercial connection with Hong Kong and Macao.The East River transports the clear spring water from Sanbai Mountain in Anyuan County of Jiangxi Province to the Pearl River, providing about 80% of Hong Kong's freshwater needs.A high-speed train connects the thousand-year cultural heritage of the Jiangxi-Penninsula region with the modern prosperity of Hong Kong, Macao and Guangdong.Since Jiangxi launched the "Picturesque Jiangxi: The Best Scenery" cultural and tourism promotion campaign in 2024, Jiangxi's tourism industry has been committed to fulfilling its mission of "Old Region Connecting with the Bay Area", continuously deepening and improving in areas such as the establishment of cooperation mechanisms, shaping tourism brands, mutual sending of tourists, cultural exchanges and mutual learning, and collaborative development of the tourism industry. This has written a splendid chapter of the collaborative development of tourism between Jiangxi, Hong Kong, Macao and Guangdong.Mechanism innovation, brand empowermentIn recent years, Jiangxi's cultural and tourism industry has consistently focused on the strategic deployment requirements of the provincial Party committee and government regarding the connection and service to the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area. By leveraging mechanism innovation and brand upgrading as dual engines, it has promoted the cultural and tourism cooperation between Jiangxi and Hong Kong and Macao from short-term "activity-based exchanges" to a long-term "mechanized operation".In September 2024, the Jiangxi Tourism and Culture Department conducted its first special promotion event in Hong Kong and Macao, and officially established the "Jiangxi Scenery is Extraordinarily Beautiful" tourism promotion center for Hong Kong and Macao. This move has set up a regular and professional platform for cooperation between the two regions.The Hong Kong promotion center adopts the "1+11" model, setting up one center to connect with the high-quality tourism routes and products of 11 prefecture-level cities in Jiangxi.The Macao promotion center implements the "1+2" cooperation model, collaborating with two core local travel agencies to deeply explore the tourism market in Macao.Relying on the operational framework of coordinated provinces and cities and precise connections, the two regions have established a systematic and long-term cooperation system, effectively breaking through the limitations of previous one-off promotions and short-term collaborations.Sanbaishan, Dongjiangyuan, Anyuan County, Ganzhou CityThe brand strategy has also achieved a qualitative leap.In 2024, Jiangxi launched frequent overseas promotion campaigns under the "Follow Jiangxi" plan. Nearly a hundred buses with the theme of "Jiangxi's Scenery is Extraordinary" entered thousands of streets and alleys in Hong Kong and Macau, showcasing the cultural and natural charm of Jiangxi.In 2025, the brand was upgraded to "Discover Jiangxi", and the communication strategy underwent a profound transformation: it shifted from one-way external promotion to two-way interactive experience, and from simply gathering traffic to deepening value resonance.At the series of promotion events, Jiangxi launched five distinctive and high-quality routes, including "The Poetic Jiangxi Tour", "The Riding Wind Jiangxi Tour", and "The World Heritage Tour", for the Greater Bay Area;at the same time, a photography exhibition was held to allow Hong Kong and Macau residents to closely experience the unique charm of Jiangxi's landscapes and culture.The "Jiangxi Scenery Is Extraordinarily Beautiful" cultural and tourism-themed bus roamed through thousands of streets and alleys in Hong Kong and Macao, becoming a mobile "tourism ambassador" for Jiangxi on the roads.In June this year, the "Picturesque Jiangxi: The Best Scenery in the Region" cultural and tourism promotion campaign for Hong Kong and Macao once again entered the Hong Kong and Macao markets, further enhancing the brand influence of Jiangxi's cultural and tourism products.Tourist sources can flow in both directions and interact with each other.Mechanism innovation and brand upgrading have been most visibly demonstrated by the impressive tourist flow data: Hong Kong and Macao have become important sources of tourists for Jiangxi. A two-way cultural and tourism boom has been continuously heating up between the Jiangxi region and Hong Kong and Macao.In 2024, the number of tourists from Hong Kong and Macao received by Jiangxi Province increased by more than 300% compared to the previous year. The number of inbound tour groups received by provincial travel agencies also increased by over 300%. The number of visa-free entry passengers at Nanchang Changbei International Airport increased by 2.8 times.The growth momentum did not wane in 2025. According to the big data analysis by the Jiangxi Provincial Communication Administration, from January to July, the province received 190,900 tourists from Hong Kong and 22,900 tourists from Macao. Hong Kong ranked as the largest inbound tourist source market in Jiangxi, and Macao ranked third.The report released by Ctrip showed that the number of inbound tourism orders in Jiangxi increased by 78% during the Spring Festival, and the inbound tourism market showed a vigorous development trend.Behind the impressive data lies the proactive and precise marketing efforts of Jiangxi's cultural and tourism industry.From 2024 to 2025, Jiangxi successfully held promotional months in Hong Kong for two consecutive years. All the cities in the province also actively "went out": Nanchang held a "All Heroes Appear, Where in Life Isn't 'Xiang' or 'Hong'" cultural tourism promotion event in Hong Kong;Jiujiang organized a group to conduct cultural exchanges in Macao and Hong Kong under the theme of "Relaxing Lu Shan · Picturesque Jiujiang Embracing the Greater Bay Area";Ji'an held a promotion event for "Ji'an's Scenic Mountains and Rivers and Ji'an Tour" in Macao;Ganzhou held an industrial cooperation and cultural tourism promotion event in Hong Kong.The provincial-level supporting measures for "attracting tourists to Jiangxi" have been further strengthened: over 140 scenic spots across the province have released their preferential policies, and 33 hotel packages have been jointly announced. Longnan City has set aside 9 million yuan as a reward fund for attracting tourists.A large number of travel agents from Hong Kong and Macao have organized groups to visit Jiangxi in person, experiencing the charm of Jiangxi Province firsthand, and measuring its mountains, rivers and culture with their feet.Cultural Bonding, Emotional IntegrationIf the mutual sending of tourists represents the "hard power" of cultural and tourism cooperation, then cultural exchanges serve as the "soft bond" that connects the emotions of the three regions.In recent years, cultural exchange activities between Jiangxi and Hong Kong and Macao have been highly successful, evolving from "visiting each other" to "deepening mutual understanding".Cultural Treasures "Going Global" Tells the Stories of Jiangxi.From June to July 2025, Jiangxi successfully hosted a key brand project of the Ministry of Culture and Tourism in Hong Kong, the "Roots and Soul - Abundant Natural Resources and the Very Characteristics of Hakka" exhibition of Jiangxi's Intangible Cultural Heritage.The event lasted for 19 days in three stages, featuring over 200 pieces of intangible cultural heritage treasures, 22 large-scale performances, and more than 100 interactive activities. It attracted over 100,000 Hong Kong residents to participate, building a bridge for cultural empathy and industrial win-win cooperation between Jiangxi and Hong Kong.In March this year, precious cultural relics such as the "Xiao Zhi Gold", "Ling Zhi Gold", and "Yi Xing Jade Pendant" from the Han Dynasty Huinonghou Kingdom Ruins Museum were displayed in the "Han Dynasty Spirit" special exhibition at the Hong Kong Heritage Discovery Museum, establishing a platform for dialogue spanning thousands of miles and becoming an important witness to the cultural exchange of cultural heritage between Jiangxi and Hong Kong.People from Hong Kong and Macao "came in" to experience the charm of Jiangxi.In 2024, Jiangxi successfully held the "Artistic Splendor, Joyful Jiangxi" cultural and tourism exchange event between the mainland and Hong Kong and Macao. More than 120 representatives from the cultural and tourism sectors of Hong Kong and Macao visited Jiangxi and jointly explored to establish a platform for in-depth dialogue.In 2025, more than 80 representatives from the cultural and tourism sectors of Hong Kong and Macao participated in this event again, visiting places such as Tengwang Pavilion, the Haihunhou Kingdom Ruins Museum, and the Wangansheng Memorial Hall.The interaction among teenagers is an especially prominent aspect.Since 2023, Jiangxi has continuously organized the "One Hundred Hong Kong Principals Explore the Mainland" study tour activities, conducting on-site investigations of the study resources in Jiangxi and providing suggestions for optimizing the study routes based on what they have seen and experienced.In 2024, after the Sanhe Sanbaoshan in Anyuan was included in the Hong Kong high school's "Citizenship Studies" tour route, the "Drinking Water and Thinking of Its Origin" themed first group received a warm response, and the number of participants has been increasing year by year.Ji Xinghan, a student from Huangchubiao Middle School of the Hong Kong Education Workers' Association, said: "This is not just ordinary drinking water; it is the water flowing to Hong Kong, the water carrying the deep care of the motherland for Hong Kong compatriots, the water of affection."Industrial synergy; mutual benefit and win-win situationThe profound value of cultural and tourism cooperation lies in shifting from "attracting tourists" to "keeping tourists", transforming "visitors" into "regular customers", and ultimately achieving mutual prosperity of the industries and shared development benefits.Jiangxi has forged even closer ties with the leading tourism enterprises from Hong Kong and Macao.In 2024, Jiangxi signed a strategic cooperation agreement with China Travel Group, helping Jiangxi accelerate its efforts to become a top tourist destination.In September of the same year, the provincial Department of Culture and Tourism established "Jiangxi's Scenery is Extraordinary" promotion centers in Hong Kong and Macao, and the Lushan Tourism Overseas Promotion Center was also officially inaugurated in Hong Kong and Macao.At the Hong Kong and Macao promotional event in 2025, 32 key travel agencies from Jiangxi and Hong Kong/Macao signed cooperation agreements on-site, reaching in-depth cooperation in areas such as resource sharing, mutual referral of tourists, route interconnection, and channel intercommunication.The tourism and culture industry's investment promotion and cooperation have been actively carried out.In 2025, "Top Tourism Enterprises Enter Jiangxi" was launched, and 25 cooperation projects were reached with a total signing amount of 3.026 billion yuan.The "City of Heroes of the World" (China · Nanchang) 2025 Global Travel Agents Conference was held, providing a business connection platform for travel agents from home and abroad and travel agencies within Jiangxi Province.In 2026, cooperation will deepen further.Longnan City will hold promotion meetings in Hong Kong and Macao successively in January. Both sides will carry out in-depth cooperation in areas such as cultural exchanges among overseas Chinese, development of high-quality tourism routes, and complementary industrial collaboration, and jointly build a new highland for the coordinated development of "old area + bay area".The waters of the Dongjiang River flow ceaselessly, witnessing the deep friendship between Jiangxi, Guangdong and Hong Kong over the past decades.High-speed trains and flights traverse mountains and seas, shortening the time gap between the old industrial areas and the bay areas.From "Follow Jiangxi" to "Discover Jiangxi", the cultural and tourism cooperation among Jiangxi, Guangdong and Hong Kong has taken off from its initial stage and is now moving towards full realization. It has shifted from "activity-based exchanges" to "mechanized operations", and from "one-way promotion" to "mutual pursuit".The source of the Dongjiang River - peace is not far away in your heartWelcome to use An Yuan One-Click Gaming!↓↓↓↓编校(审):唐 婕、赵 堃复校(审):陈 俊三校(审):赖 华
