On the first day of the Spring Festival holiday, there is a wave of cars returning home from Tainan. The Beidriu people are eager to return to their hometown to celebrate the New Year as soon as possible. This year's annual leave lasts for 9 days. Mayor Huang Weizhe said that due to the increasingly severe epidemic situation before the New Year's holiday and the rapid spread of Omicron mutant strains in Taiwan, all units of the city government are all ready to stand by, and many activities during the Spring Festival are affected as a result. It is necessary to call on citizens and friends to do a good job in their own epidemic prevention and protection. Whether it is going to an outdoor scenic spot for a spring break or greeting relatives and friends whom you haven't seen in a long time, you must remember to wear a mask, maintain a safe social distance, and use hand in hand. Instead of shaking hands, the real-name registration system is implemented everywhere when you travel, so that you can go out happily during the annual leave and go home safely.

On the first day of the holiday, due to the continuous rain at night, the number of tourists visiting various scenic spots in Tainan in the morning was roughly the same as last year. There were nearly 20,000 people around Haian Road on Guohua Street, nearly 6,000 people on Xinhua Old Street, Anping Old Street, Confucius Temple Park and Chihuahua Street. There are more than 10,000 people in the surrounding area of Kan Park, and nearly 3,000 people in the Guanziling Hot Spring Area went up the mountain to take a bath. The crowds of tourists are mainly concentrated in the old streets and the surrounding areas of department stores in the urban area. Relatives and friends will go shopping in Tainan, and buy full of New Year's goods by the way. The heavy rain has also washed the scenery of Tainan's lakes and mountains, and made it even more out of sight. After returning to their hometowns, many tourists also want to take advantage of this hard-won annual vacation and enjoy the beautiful scenery as a family to soothe their hard work this year. It is estimated that after this afternoon, tourists will gradually emerge in various outdoor scenic spots, and the operators of various outdoor scenic spots will also take the opportunity to strengthen environmental clearance and epidemic prevention measures, so that tourists can welcome the New Year with a safe travel environment. Tainan is even more exciting at night. Whether it is the Puji Palace Lantern District, the Kongshan Festival or the Yuejin Port Lantern Festival, it is a feast of wonderful lighting and atmosphere, and you can enjoy the tranquility and beauty of it.

Director Guo Zhenhui of the Tourism and Tourism Bureau of Tainan City Government said that during this consecutive holiday, it is necessary to plan travel itineraries in response to the epidemic situation in various places. It is the smartest itinerary to choose scenic spots with strict epidemic prevention measures and open outdoor space in Tainan. In order to allow everyone to travel with peace of mind, the Tourism and Tourism Bureau of Tainan City Government has implemented a strict epidemic prevention plan.
