Recently, cultural and tourism bureaus across China have been scrambling to come up with unique promotions to attract tourists to travel to various places. As a well-known Chinese tourist city at home and abroad, Chongqing Culture and Tourism Bureau is no exception. A few days ago, the Chongqing Municipal Culture and Tourism Commission invited the well-known actor Xiao Zhan to promote his hometown of Chongqing and released a video of Xiao Zhan introducing his hometown of Chongqing. Not long after the video was released, the number of views exceeded one million.
It is reported that as early as early January, when Thai Prime Minister and Finance Minister Saitha announced the good news that China and Thailand would implement mutual exemption of permanent visas from March 1, Thai netizens rushed to discuss where they wanted to go after the visa exemption. The topic of Chinese cities, Chongqing was one of the most popular Chinese tourist destinations for Thais at that time, and the reason why many Thais yearned for Chongqing so much was precisely because of their idol Xiao Zhan. Some Thai netizens translated a previous video of Xiao Zhan introducing Chongqing into Thai for fans to collect and check in.
It is understood that Xiao Zhan is familiar to Thai audiences because of the popular TV series "Chen Qing Ling" in 2019. His popularity in Thailand has remained high for many years and he has many fans in Thailand. After "Chen Qing Ling", many film and television dramas such as "Zhu Xian", "Please Advice for the Rest of My Life", "Jade Bones", "The Sun Is With Me", etc. were released in Thailand and were well received, and even some Thai Fans work hard to learn Chinese for Xiao Zhan and fall in love with China because of Xiao Zhan.
