Holiday saw more visitors at cultural sites

Travelers focused more than usual on cultural experiences during this year's Tomb Sweeping Festival holiday, according to a report by the China Tourism Academy and online travel agency Lvmama on Sunday.

The three-day holiday is a traditional festival in which Chinese people visit their ancestors' grave sites and venture out on spring outings.

Scenic spots highlighting traditional Chinese culture and attractions of historical inheritance - the Palace Museum in Beijing, for example - were popular choices for travelers during the holiday, along with traditional activities such as camping and appreciating blossoms, the report said.
