China is seeing a record-high May Day holiday travel rush amid excitement over a sharp rebound in tourism.

In Nanning, capital of south China's Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, ASEAN-themed tourism has gained momentum given the region's proximity to Southeast Asia.

Fantawild Asian Legend, a theme park showcasing the cultures of 10 ASEAN countries, has become a magnet for tourists.

Extended evening hours at some venues in the park are now available to cater to more tourists.

In Nanning, there are many other places where visitors can experience different cultures of ASEAN countries.

Data from the Ministry of Culture and Tourism showed that China saw nearly 1.22 billion domestic tourist trips in the first quarter of 2023, up 46.5 percent year on year.
