The 14 main scenic areas in Wuxi's Binhu district received about 270,000 visitors during the five-day May Day holiday which ended on May 5, according to the district's culture and tourism bureau.

Blooming spring flowers and beautiful natural scenery were the main attractions during the holiday.

Scenic areas in the district also held a series of events during the holiday to attract visitors, including creative cultural product fairs, stage performances and intangible cultural heritage activities.

The Yuantouzhu Scenic Area gave a cultural performance on the water featuring elements from the Han (206 B.C.-220 A.D.) and Tang (618-907) dynasties. Smile Square at the Nianhuawan Scenic Area enchanted visitors with a dazzling light show.

As part of epidemic prevention and control efforts, the scenic areas required online reservations for tours and limited the number of visitors to prevent overcrowding.

Tourists were required to have their temperatures checked, show a health code upon arrival and wear masks during their visit.
