The Shenxianju scenic area in Taizhou City of east China's Zhejiang Province has introduced customized services including pet-friendly facilities and smart luggage delivery to enhance the visitor experience during the May Day Holiday.
The five-day holiday, running from May 1 to 5, has drawn large crowds to the popular destination.
With the growing demand for traveling with pets, scenic spots like Shenxianju have stepped up to offer more pet-friendly services. According to a pet industry white paper released in January, the country had 126 million pet cats and dogs in urban areas in 2025, with over 70 percent of owners willing to travel with their pets.
Shenxianju has set up dedicated pet facilities, including a special pet-friendly cable car and rest areas. Convenience products like drinking water and waste bags for pets are available in shops in the scenic area. These thoughtful measures allow visitors to enjoy the scenery together with their furry family members.
"I never expected to be able to take my furry little one to visit Shenxianju during the May Day holiday. The pet facilities here are very thoughtful and considerate," said Cao Siyu, a visitor.
Meanwhile, Shenxianju has partnered with logistics platforms to offer convenient luggage storage and delivery services.
Visitors can drop off their luggage at the scenic area's smart storage facilities and have them delivered directly to their destination, such as a hotel. This seamless service allows travelers to explore the sights completely hands-free.
"Initially, I thought it would be inconvenient to bring such a large suitcase while hiking at Shenxianju, but later I learned that Shenxianju offers this luggage delivery service, it's much more convenient. By the time I arrive at the hotel, it will be there waiting for me," said Yang Lingxin, a visitor.
