Abstract:With rapid aging of population in China, it is increasingly prevalent for Chinese retired people to migrate to places with better environment, climate and landscape for the purpose of promoting health and wellbeing. Such tourist immigrants are called "Snowbirds" who travel seasonally between hometown and destination. Adopting the environmental exposure measurement method and the mixed research method, this paper attempts to examine the spatial-temporal pattern of Snowbirds' daily activity as well as the relationship between Snowbirds' exposure to green space in destination and their health and wellbeing. The results show that the spacial scale of the daily activities of the ‘Snowbirds’ in the destination was mainly concentrated in the 1.5km range centered on the home. It was also found that exposure to green space was positively correlated with the Snowbirds's health and wellbeing. ‘Snowbirds’ with longer daily exposure to green space had better self-report health and wellbeing than those with shorter daily exposure to green space. Finally, the context of seasonal mobilities indicates that the elderly people have more choice in the use of time and activity space at destination, and green exposure is also a daily practice of their initiative pursuit of health and wellbeing.
