As the National Day holiday draws near, Jiaxing Nanhu Airport is experiencing a surge in travel activity.

Many passengers have already packed their bags in advance, departing from the airport right at their doorstep to catch flights to destinations across the country, kicking off their long-awaited National Day holiday.

At the terminal of Jiaxing Nanhu Airport, travelers with rolling suitcases can be seen everywhere. In front of the check-in counters, people line up in an orderly fashion to complete their procedures; in the waiting hall, passengers either browse travel guides or chat with family and friends, their faces filled with anticipation for the journey ahead.

Since the beginning of this year, with the stable operation of multiple popular routes, travelers from Jiaxing can fly directly to destinations such as Urumqi, Chongqing, Guiyang, and Kunming, eliminating the need to travel back and forth to Shanghai Hongqiao Airport, making it an increasingly preferred choice for more and more people.

"We plan to take advantage of the National Day holiday to visit Dali and Lijiang," said Xiao Zhou, a student from a local university in Jiaxing, who told reporters that she and her classmates had booked their tickets well in advance. "In the past, for long-distance travel, we had to transfer through airports in other cities. Now we can fly directly from the airport at our doorstep, which makes traveling so much more convenient. We've done detailed planning and are preparing to cycle along Erhai Lake, take in the scenery of Yunnan, and truly relax."

Not far away, passenger Ms. Chen was waiting for a flight to Guiyang, preparing to embark on a seven-day in-depth tour of Guizhou. "I've long yearned for the landscapes of southeastern Guizhou, to see the Qianhu Miao Village and Huangguoshu Waterfall," Ms. Chen said. This time she is traveling with her best friend, and the seven-day holiday is just right — no need to rush the itinerary, allowing them to slowly take in Guizhou's scenery and ethnic culture. "Saving the time cost of traveling and leaving it for the scenery — it's so worth it."

At the check-in gate for the flight to Urumqi, a family tour group stood out with their lively energy. "Sayram Lake and Kanas are our destinations for this trip," said Mr. Wang, a local resident. October happens to be the most beautiful season in Xinjiang, and it is rare for everyone to have a full holiday at the same time, so they had to make it happen. "Traveling together as a family, we can enjoy magnificent scenery and it's also a rare time for reunion."

According to airport staff, as the National Day holiday approaches, passenger traffic at the airport continues to climb. Tourism passengers are the main force behind this travel wave, with long-haul destinations such as Yunnan, Guizhou, Xinjiang, and Beijing maintaining high popularity. To ensure efficiency, the airport has already opened additional check-in counters in advance, optimized security screening procedures, and increased on-site guidance personnel to ensure passengers travel efficiently and smoothly.

One after another, silver aircraft stand ready to go, carrying everyone's expectations to distant places; each ticket embodies people's longing for a better life and bears witness to the continuous upgrading of Xiuzhou's transportation capacity. This National Day, best wishes to every traveler for a journey full of joy, celebrating a safe and happy National Day holiday amid the great landscapes of the motherland.
