The Nostalgic Pull of The Taffy Machine
Cape May, New Jersey has no difficulty being nostalgic. It's all mini golf and cruiser bikes and pastel Victorian houses. Even as a child, spending late summers there with my family felt somehow like being jettisoned into the past, where I'd be trusted to ride my bike to the general store for milk and the morning paper, treating myself to a Chinese finger trap or a copy of MAD Magazine with the change, before my cousins and I ran a lemonade stand next to the beach. It was all so aggressively quaint. It didn't help that every store in town may as well have said 'Ye Olde' on the sign. Like any beach town, Cape May is full of shops for things nobody needs — baskets full of dried sand dollars and essential oils. And of course, somewhere on the town's main drag, was the greatest attraction for me. Something so mesmerizing I could watch it all day and never miss the other things a beach town offered. On some level, summer will always be for watching the salt water taffy machine. If you've ever been to a beach town you've probably seen one, its gargantuan metal arms knitting confections in a front window while a summer job teen hands out cubes of fudge. It felt ancient and futuristic at once, a 3D optical illusion where parts would disappear and reappear, juggling the candy into a satin sheen. For the sake of present-day research I found that saltwater taffy was invented in the U.S. around the 1880s, and in 1901, there were six patents pending for a taffy pulling machine, which could pull 2.5 tons of candy a day (a single person could do about 300 pounds). But truly, who cares: I just want to watch the machine move. There are videos from vacation spots around the country, Catalina Island and the Oregon coast and Ocean City, of taffy machines doing their work in full view of customers, luring them in with mechanical grace. It was like watching a ballet, trying to follow one loop or bubble and watching it get lost in the swirling show. After minutes (hours? lifetimes?) of watching the machine, someone in my family would usually cave and buy a box of taffy or fudge, which I would eat but never crave. As much as I appreciate the end product now, the joy was all in the making. Taffy is an inherently nostalgic candy. The allure is that the taffy machine creates a candy that was exciting when 'candy' was new. When you can get neon Nerds clusters and layered chocolate bars at every corner store, how novel to buy a box of stretched molasses flavored with salt and licorice. Beach towns trade on this — the whole point is experiencing a break from the modern, the plain physics of wave upon shore, pedal to turn wheel, metal to pull sugar. I could spin up some reason why we will pay for an imagined past or search for meaning in relative simplicity. But ultimately I'm not really sure why I, a seven year old with no problems, stood at the taffy machine. Perhaps it was just the essence of vacation, feeling even then the peace of having nothing to do but watch something so unnecessary as a confection be made. Or maybe it just looked cool. It doesn't have to be more complicated than that. Nothing does. See More:

More Southeast Asians are flocking to China's Chongqing city. Social media hype is a big reason
A new trend is driving Southeast Asian tourists to China's Chongqing city — viral social media clips of monorails running through a residential building, buildings perched atop hilly terrain, and a pedestrian bridge on the 13th floor. Flight bookings from Southeast Asia to Chongqing increased more than sixfold during the Dragon Boat Festival holiday, which fell on May 31 this year, compared with the previous year, Chinese online travel platform Fliggy told CNBC. "In 2025 alone, we've captured a nearly 12-fold surge in demand for Chongqing, compared to demand for other cities," said Sarah Wan, Klook's general manager for Indonesia, Malaysia and Singapore, in an email. Demand doubled for other popular cities such as Beijing and Shanghai, and tripled for Chengdu, she added. Chongqing has captured online attention for its duality — it's home to natural attractions such as the Three Gorges and the Dazu Rock Carvings, and futuristic architecture that inspired its nickname, "cyberpunk city." That's partly because young adults are turning to social media for recommendations when planning their holidays, with 79% of millennial and Gen Z travelers doing so, according to Klook Travel Pulse research published in February. That was the case for Ong Chong Yu, a 24-year-old undergraduate at the National University of Singapore, and his friends, who wanted to visit the city after it "blew up" on Douyin and TikTok for its "8D magic," refering to the way buildings sit on the hilly parts of Chongqing that adds dimension to the city's landscape. The Chinese language and Chinese studies major, who is on a student exchange program in Beijing, visited Chongqing on a weekend trip in March. He said he found the city's unique landscape most memorable. "[It] takes a climb up and down the mountain to get from one road to another, the first floor of one building might be the 15th floor of another," Ong said. Aside from social media hype, an improvement in amenities and a variety of activities have contributed to the city's growing popularity. The wide range of activities available for tourists means that "there is something in Chongqing for everyone," said Edmund Ong, senior regional director of Southeast Asia at in an email to CNBC. "Older folks have long enjoyed Chongqing for its beautiful scenery, including the Yangtze River and Three Gorges, while younger travelers have seen many places there go viral on social media," he added. But it takes more than good views to make a good holiday. Although Chongqing has become more crowded since undergraduate Ong's last visit in 2018, "the city's crowd control is great," he said, "so moving around was quite orderly, which I am impressed by." The municipality has been focusing on making travel more convenient for tourists, said Gao Ling, director-general of the Chongqing Municipal Commission of Culture and Tourism Development, in a interview translated from Mandarin by CNBC. The municipality has invested more into the transport systems for those traveling in and out of the city. With more options to and from other major cities such as Beijing and Chengdu via air and train, the city aims to make entry into Chongqing easy for tourists, Gao said in an interview with CNBC conducted in Mandarin. Earlier this year, Chongqing also established one-stop service centers in major transit hubs such as its Jiangbei International Airport and Chongqing North railway station, Gao said. The centers provide luggage storage and information desks for travelers. Young Southeast Asians may be enticed to visit, partly because of the region's proximity to China, Gao said. Among countries in Southeast Asia, has seen the most bookings to Chongqing from Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand, which all enjoy visa-free travel to China. Similarly, Klook has noted that tourists from Singapore and Malaysia lead sales for tours in the region, with tourists from Thailand and Indonesia fueling demand. The number of hotel bookings to Chongqing from Thai travelers has also risen more than fivefold, according to data provided by Fliggy. But the hype isn't confined to Chongqing — travel demand is rising across cities in mainland China. According to the Klook Travel Pulse research study, mainland China is the top "must-go destination" for millennial and Gen Z travelers — second only to Japan. The country's youth appeal can be attributed partly to cultural experiences such as themed photoshoots and live performances incorporating song and dance, said Elvis Yap, travel experience and design planner for China at Singapore-based tour agency Dynasty Travel. Themed photoshoots, in which travelers dress up in traditional outfits, have also blown up on social media, fueling demand, Yap said. Foreign and local tourists alike post photos of themselves on social media, dressed up in the traditional Han clothing, complete with a wig and heavy makeup, all of which are included in the service that tourists purchase. Another popular example is "gong yan," a multi-course banquet meal and show, during which customers can dress up in traditional outfits. It's "a lot more dynamic," with "high level cultural arts" performances combined with the dining experience at an affordable price, Yap said, citing the strength of the Singapore dollar against the yuan. But social media isn't the only factor — hospitality in China has also improved, with more attractive services offered in hotels and attractions, he added. "The other countries in Asia have to watch out for the level of competition that China hospitality institutions are providing," Yap said.

North Korea's Kim cuts tape at coastal tourist site; foreigners not yet welcome
North Korean leader Kim Jong Un cut the inaugural tape at a new coastal tourist site during an extravagant ceremony on Tuesday, though the resort won't immediately be open to foreign tourists. Kim toured the Wonsan-Kalma coastal tourist zone, calling its construction "one of the greatest successes this year" and "the proud first step" toward a new era in the government's tourism industry, according to the official Korean Central News Agency. Hotels and other accommodations for nearly 20,000 guests were built on the Hermit Kingdom's east coast, where visitors could engage in activities such as swimming, sports and recreation and dining at restaurants at the resort, state media said. The resort, North Korea's biggest tourist site, will open for domestic tourists next Tuesday, KCNA said, but the report didn't say when it will start receiving foreign tourists. Russia Fires North Korean Ballistic Missiles In 'Extremely Dangerous' Threat To Europe And Asia: Zelenskyy Experts believe North Korea invested heavily in the construction of the resort and eventually will have to accept Chinese and other foreign tourists to recoup costs. Read On The Fox News App But North Korea has been slow to resume its international tourism because of lingering COVID-19 pandemic curbs, a flare-up of tensions with the U.S. and South Korea in recent years and worries about Western tourists spreading a negative image of its system. Analysts say the resort will open to Russian tourists first, as evidenced by its booming military and other partnerships with Russia, before eventually opening to Chinese tours. Trump Remains 'Receptive' To Dialogue With Kim Jong Un Despite Reported Letter Snub The Russian ambassador to North Korea and his embassy staff appeared at Tuesday's ceremony, according to KCNA, though the report didn't say whether any Chinese diplomats were also invited. South Korean and American tourists won't be as fortunate, Lim Eul-chul, a professor at Kyungnam University's Institute for Far Eastern Studies in Seoul, told The Associated Press. Lim said those tours won't likely restart anytime soon, though both new liberal South Korean President Lee Jae Myung and U.S. President Donald Trump have expressed hopes to revive dialogue with North Korea. Kim has been pushing to make the country a tourism hub as part of efforts to revive the ailing economy, with KCNA reporting that North Korea will soon confirm plans to build large tourist sites in other parts of the country.
