The city has plenty to offer during the upcoming May Day holiday, local cultural and tourism authorities said on Wednesday.
A travel boom is estimated during the five-day holiday, said Chen Ping, a director at Shanghai’s culture and tourism administration.
"Restrained travel demand during the Spring Festival holiday for long-distance tours due to epidemic control requirements will fully release, and people's travel enthusiasm for suburban tours and tours to neighboring cities will last," he said.

The city's Huangpu River cruises are expected to attract up to 70,000 participants during the holiday, about 80 percent of the same period in 2019, according to the administration.
