Tourists flock to Asian Games host city Hangzhou during national holiday

Chinese tourists flock to Asian Games host city of Hangzhou during the country’s ‘Golden Week’ holiday. “I feel that the number of people this year is about two or three times more compared to before,” says a tourist who has previously visited.

Almost 13 million people were predicted to visit the capital over the holiday, a 21.9 percent increase from the 2019 pre-Covid figure, state media said. On Friday, people flocked to Beijing's Forbidden City to take advantage of the sunny autumn morning, many of them families.
