Abstract The rapid evolution of mobilities has provided lens of research to understand the changing social, cultural and political environment in urban. Home is consider a point of departure in mobility. And as a critical concept in Chinese culture, home is originally considered as the root of life, the philosophical source of ‘benevolence’ and ‘propriety’, and the carrier of filial piety in classical Confucianism. Research into the theoretical conceptualisation of homes has tended to highlight issues of dislocation, displacement, disjuncture and estrangement as widespread conditions of migrant subjectivity and ‘nomadism’. Taking the snowbird phenomenon in Sanya as a case study, this paper examines into the experience of home and narrative of coming home, and the home place attachment developed through multiple dwelling for the seasonal retirement migrants under the background of increasing tourism-led mobilities. In-depth interviews were conducted, and the researchers have stayed in the case site from Jan. 8th to 24th 2014, and from Jan. 17 to Feb. 10th 2015. Participated and non-participated observations using camera and recording equipment were undertaken. In total, 43 respondents have taken part in the interviews, each lasting from 50 to 150 minutes. It is founded from the research that, in the continual pursuit of extraordinary experience in ‘home away home’, and during the process of reaching an ideal way of life, the place dependence and place identification for the permanent home of the retirement migrants have never faded away.
