Abstract:

Among the folk customs of the South Yangtze Areas, the fondness or hobby of tourism is most striking. Either being rich or poor, regardless of long or short journey, whatever the sightseeing is natural or artificial, and under any times or any seasons, the masses of the South Yangtze Areas often take almost all the opportunities to go sightseeing. Even without such opportunities, they can still do so, because, for them, tourism is not just a kind of life regulation, but, by melting into their everyday life, becomes the important part of living in the world.

Key words: custom of tourism, hobby of tourism, tourism, South Yangtze Areas
