The school spring break merging with the five-day May Day holiday this year prompted many vacationers to trade whirlwind "special forces-style" travel for immersive, multiday stays in single destinations.

今年，学生春假与五天“五一”假期叠加，促使许多游客放弃“特种兵式旅游”式的走马观花，转向在一个目的地进行沉浸式、多日停留的深度游。

Special forces-style travel refers to a travel trend wherein multiple attractions are covered in a short time through tightly scheduled, high-intensity itineraries. The trend, which has been around for the past few years, is particularly popular among young people.

“特种兵式旅游”指的是通过紧凑、高强度的行程安排，在短时间内游览多个景点的旅游趋势。这一趋势已流行数年，在年轻人中尤为盛行。

Data from multiple online travel platforms showed the rise of the "depth stay" phenomenon during this year's May Day holiday, from Friday to Tuesday, with travelers spending more time in one place to soak in the local culture and way of life.

多家在线旅游平台数据显示，“五一”假期期间（5月1日至5月5日），“深度停留”现象有所上升，游客在单地停留更长时间，以沉浸体验当地文化与生活方式。
