Since the start of 2017, Dragon Trail has been tracking WeChat accounts for the travel industry. Now with our first full year of data, we present the top 5 performing WeChat posts of the year by national tourism offices. As we collect data once per week, the rankings show the top performing articles by views at the end of the week in which they were posted.
