Over one million people visited Shanghai’s 130 main tourist attractions on Friday and Saturday, the first two days of the May Day holiday, according to China’s state-run Xinhua News Agency.
Xinhua reported that Shanghai received 456,000 visitors on Friday and 633,000 more on Saturday.
The increase in visitors comes after Shanghai’s Culture and Tourism Administration announced the reopening of several major tourist sites earlier this week in preparation for the May Day holiday.
