How 齐云山度假区 (Qiyun Mountain Resort) seeded a quiet Anhui getaway on Xiaohongshu
Ahead of Spring Festival in January 2024, 齐云山度假区 (Qiyun Mountain Resort) used thirteen mid-tier creators and thirteen image-led posts to pair an overlooked mountain with a distinctive treehouse stay, without discounts or a hard conversion push.
Make an overlooked mountain and a fanciful treehouse stay one escape
Running from January 9 to 23, the campaign used “齐云山十二时辰” (Twelve Double-Hours at Qiyun Mountain) as its theme and “安徽你不宣传这里你糊涂啊” (Anhui, You'd Be Foolish Not to Promote This Place) as a shared title frame. Creators presented 齐云山风景区 (Qiyun Mountain Scenic Area) as a quieter, photogenic alternative to crowded Huangshan, foregrounding its Danxia landforms and Taoist culture. Saveable guides combined transport, a two-day, one-night route, photo stops and a stay at 自由家树屋世界 (Ziyoujia 'Free Home' Treehouse World), whose imaginative forest architecture supplied the lodging hook. A launch-event activation sat within a sustained posting drip.
The audience was urban professional women, affluent middle-class travellers and young families seeking a short Spring Festival break with nature, culture and a relaxed pace. Parent-child travel broadened the outdoor and lifestyle appeal. There was no discount, urgency device or explicit conversion call to action: the campaign concentrated on destination and accommodation consideration.

The first step to copy

Standardise the destination hook before varying the guides
Give every creator the “安徽你不宣传这里你糊涂啊” (Anhui, You'd Be Foolish Not to Promote This Place) title frame, then let routes and images differ. One repeatable line creates local pride and curiosity, while the practical guide structure keeps each post useful rather than repetitive.
