Abstract: This paper aims to study whether tourists' participation in leisure activities in the cramped space of hotel rooms can improve their conscious health status. This paper, taking Taiwan tourists entering China as an example, explores the relationship between the degree of perceived freedom of tourists' participation in leisure activities in hotel rooms and their conscious health state through empirical research and constructs a model of leisure and conscious health state in confined space. The main results show that: (1) when the degree of leisure perceived freedom is the same, the effect of tourists' Leisure Involvement on the degree of conscious health is better; (2) Tourists' leisure perceived freedom is significantly positively correlated with leisure involvement, but it is significantly negatively correlated with leisure adjustment strategies; (3) Tourists' leisure involvement is significantly positively correlated with leisure adjustment strategies and self-perceived health status, and significantly positively mediates the relationship between leisure perceived freedom and leisure adjustment strategies; (4) There was no significant correlation between leisure adjustment strategies and self-perceived health status, and it could not significantly mediate the relationship between leisure involvement and self-perceived health status. The research results can be used as a reference for constructing the theoretical framework of tourists' leisure behavior patterns in narrow space.
