Zhao Liying is one of the most influential stars in China. With her popularity, the actress has helped the tourism situation in Tuyen Pho village, Tuyen Chau city, Fujian province to develop surprisingly.
In early 2023, the 8x beauty posted a series of photos wearing a red outfit, wearing a flower crown, which was extremely elaborate and eye-catching, serving the photoshoot for Thuong Thanh Si Khai Nien magazine. Immediately after that, wearing flowers for photos immediately became a hot trend.
Not only is this trend loved by tourists, it is also supported by many famous artists such as Tran Do Linh, Duong Tu, Mao Hieu Dong, Trieu Lo Tu...
A large number of tourists flock to experience the service of taking photos with handmade flower headbands, helping the economic situation of Tuyen Pho village develop significantly.
According to data from the Quanzhou Culture and Tourism Bureau, during the 2023 Spring Festival holiday, the city welcomed a total of 2.7 million tourists, an increase of 53.8% year-on-year; tourism revenue reached 2.043 billion yuan per year, an increase of 135.1% year-on-year.
Mr. Hoang Than (63 years old, local resident) said that a few years ago, he never dreamed that the fishing village where he lived since childhood would become the top tourist destination in Quanzhou.
According to local media, the amount of savings people deposited in two banks in the village in 2023 increased to 243 million yuan compared to 2022. Previously, there were only 6 hairpin shops in the village, but just one year later, it increased to more than 300 shops, 12 homestays, and 98 large and small restaurants.
The flower hairpin is made from many kinds of fresh flowers, which is a traditional cultural feature of the people of Tuyen Pho village, Tuyen Chau city, Fujian province.
Here, whether tourists or local women picking clams and oysters along the roadside, all wear "hairpins" made from one or two simple flowers. On traditional holidays or big events, women will wear larger and more eye-catching flower headbands. In addition to beautifying themselves, this is also a way for Tuyen Pho women to express their love for life.
This is not the first time that actress Trieu has unintentionally helped develop tourism in places. Thanks to the beautiful scenery in the movie "Du phuong hanh" starring Trieu Le Dinh - Lam Canh Tan, which aired in early 2024, the number of tourists visiting the scenic spots of Tien Do, Tan Van (Le Thuy, Zhejiang) has increased 6 times.
