This year's May Day holiday lasts only three days. That's shorter than the one-week-long May Day holiday that was previously marked in former years. But people in China are still enjoying all of the fun of holiday travel.

This year's May Day holiday lasts only  three days. That's shorter than the  one-week-long May Day holiday that was  previously marked in former years. But  people in China are still enjoying all  of the fun of holiday travel.

This year's May Day holiday has been witnessing fewer travellers going on long-distance trips. Instead, short and medium-distance tours have become increasingly popular. In Beijing Shijingshan Amusement Park, a colorful parade attracts many Beijing residents. And the number of visitors at the Great Wall reached 150 thousand on May 1st. That's 9 thousand more than last year.
