Yuyuan Garden attracts 300,000 festival visitors
Print Edition
MORE than 300,000 people descended on Yuyuan Garden over the weekend in the run-up to today’s Lantern Festival.
As of 9pm last night, 146,404 had entered the attraction, and the number of visitors on Saturday surpassed 163,000.
After 4pm yesterday, only ticket holders were allowed into the entire garden, and at that time, there were more than 19,000 people at the site, prompting the introduction of stricter crowd control measures, such as requiring all visitors to walk around the site in one direction, including the famous Zigzag bridge.
Yuyuan Garden Station on Metro Line 10 may introduce traffic-control measures today to cope with increased passenger numbers, said officials.
More than 140,000 festival-goers are expected to use the station, twice the usual traffic.
If the station sees a huge rise in a short period of time, Exit 1 will be used for entrance only.
Today the attraction will only be open to ticket holders after 2pm.
An adult ticket costs 80 yuan (US$12.3) and a child’s ticket is 50 yuan.
