### Factors Affecting Leisure Experience in Urban River Corridors
#### 3.3.1 Social Attributes Influencing Recreational Experiences of Urban River Corridors  
Visit time Temporal variations significantly influence the visitation to the Hutuo River Corridor in Shijiazhuang. In terms of social attributes, it is mainly analyzed and discussed from three aspects: weekdays and weekends, holidays, and time of day. The comments indicate that a surge in user numbers is observed during weekends and holidays. Many visitors mentioned that the Hutuo River Corridor is an \"excellent destination for weekend outings\" and noted that \"almost every weekend, the place is crowded\". Residents prefer leisure time in nature [67]. Weekends and holidays offer most people a break and leisure, giving them more free time to visit and explore scenic spots. Weekdays may be constrained by daily tasks such as work and study, particularly for children who, influenced by China's unique education policies and competitive mechanisms, face heavy homework loads. As supervisors and companions for children, parents also find it challenging to allocate time for recreational experiences in urban river corridors during weekdays [67; 68]. Additionally, many special events and entertainment activities typically occur on weekends and holidays, attracting more participants. Diverse visitation times throughout the day showcase the corridor's capacity to attract foot traffic [69]. According to high-frequency feature words, \"evening\" is frequently mentioned. Visitors access during the evening in various seasons; in summer evenings, there is a high influx of people seeking relief from the heat and enjoying the night scenery. Common sentiments include, \"There are usually more people there\", and \"It is cooler by the river, a great place to bring the whole family for a refreshing break\". Evening light shows receive praise, with visitors unraveling at the \"colorful lights creating a magnificent scene as if entering a fairyland\". In winter evenings, organized events attract people, such as, \"On the fifteenth night of the first lunar month, drove to the spacious Mingxi Lake Park to enjoy fireworks and sky lanterns\". However, a visitor advisory notes, \"It can be a bit cold in the evening, so remember to dress warmly\". \"Midday\" appears with moderate frequency. In May, visitors choose to \"map lightly in the tent at noon\" or \"take a nap on the grass\". Towards the end of October, \"the noon sunlight falls on the sand, and children play barefoot\". However, during summer and early autumn, as it can be \"too hot\", it is \"not recommended to visit during the heat of midday\". Although \"morning\" has a lower frequency, it is recommended by many. Residents in the vicinity often come for morning jogs, and sightings of fishing enthusiasts are common. Expressions like \"A morning stroll here is very comfortable and pleasant\" reflect that the morning offers a serene and inviting environment, attracting numerous fitness enthusiasts. Duration of stay The majority of findings suggested that visitors' duration of stay along urban river corridors is typically short, approximately one hour [70; 71; 72; 73; 74; 75; 76]. However, this study reveals diverse visitor stay duration. Some visitors merely pass through, taking a moment to \"take a deep breath, let thoughts briefly linger, and savor the tranquility of life\". Others describe, \"Choosing a day with moderate temperatures, finding a patch of grass, laying down a mat, bringing some food and drinks, one can camp here for an entire day\". Motivation Human preferences play a crucial role in supporting positive experiences and fulfilling their motivation for visiting a site [77]. Based on the textual content, visitors' motivations can be categorized into six distinct types: admiring the scenery, exercising, spending time with family or friends, discovering and experiencing nature, relaxing, and escaping city life, as well as engaging in outdoor recreation and services.
