Core Viewpoint - The article discusses the rise and subsequent decline of "internet celebrity cities" in China, focusing on Chongqing's Rongchang as a recent example of a city that gained popularity through social media but faces challenges in sustaining that attention and economic benefit [3][4][7]. Group 1: Rise of Rongchang - Rongchang became a trending destination in 2025, largely due to the viral success of "卤鹅哥" (Lu E Ge), which significantly boosted the city's profile and tourism [3][4]. - During the "May Day" holiday, Rongchang received 2.345 million visitors, a year-on-year increase of 168.2%, with sales of 290,000 units of the famous "卤鹅" skyrocketing by 752.53% [4]. - The local government actively supported the viral phenomenon, providing free public transport, parking, and even opening government canteens to accommodate the influx of tourists [5][10]. Group 2: Challenges and Decline - Despite the initial success, Rongchang's ability to sustain its popularity is limited by its small size and capacity, making it difficult to handle continuous high volumes of visitors [7][8]. - The overall trend of internet celebrity cities is declining, with increasing difficulty in replicating the success of earlier cities like Zibo and Harbin, which benefited from pent-up travel demand post-pandemic [8][10]. - The article highlights that many cities, including Rongchang, face structural challenges, such as population decline and lack of strong economic foundations, which complicate their efforts to maintain tourist interest [12][14]. Group 3: Economic Implications - The influx of tourists does not always translate into economic growth, as seen in Zibo and Harbin, where GDP growth lagged behind national averages despite high visitor numbers [11][15]. - The reliance on transient tourist flows can lead to misallocation of resources and exacerbate existing economic vulnerabilities in smaller cities [14][15]. - The article suggests that the focus for sustainable development should shift back to building strong pillar industries rather than depending solely on fleeting internet fame [15].

县域小城的逆袭 每座城市都有一个"红"的梦想。 在短视频时代，一条美食博主的视频、一张自然风光的照片，甚至一个意外走红的梗，都可能让一座城 市瞬间爆红。2024年以来，从黑龙江哈尔滨的冰雪到甘肃天水的麻辣烫，从山西隰县的小西天到重庆荣 昌的"卤鹅"，中国网红城市"轮动式出圈、接棒式发热"的现象愈发明显。 2024年以来，都有哪些城市成为新的"网红城市"，又呈现出什么新的趋势？ 什么是网红城市？ 网红城市的概念很火，但什么才是"网红城市"？ 首先，网红城市是自媒体时代的特有产物。它们通常不是由主流媒体或政府宣传部门有意识策划成功 的；同时，它是由偶然因素触发，比如独特的景点、文化、美食或是特色活动，让这些之前没有太多知 名度的城市突然获得广泛关注，并吸引大量游客前往体验和"打卡"。这样的城市，我们可以称之为"网 红城市"。 不过，这些网红城市的热度通常不会持续很长时间，主要是因为公众对网络新鲜事物的兴趣有其规律， 不会长期保持高度关注。新的网红事件会不断出现并替代旧的关注点。更重要的是，很多网红城市本身 产品单一，无法支撑游客长时间停留，导致热度难以持续。 值得注意的是，网红城市与旅游目的地城市（如北京、上海、 ...
