One half of the 'October 1st Golden Week' holiday has already passed, and as the sunny weather of the last two days continues, now is the peak of tourism in Beijing. On October 4th, the city's key tourist sites received an amount of 2,157,900 people (man-times), a growth of 8.7% compared to last year. Occupancy rate in city center hotels is 71.2%, in city suburb hotels it is 56.8% and in the outskirts it is 52.9%. Until 3 in the afternoon, Tiananmen Square received 400,000 people.
There is a notable increase in the number of travelers in this year's Golden Week. In the last four days, 177 key Beijing sites received a number of 8,145,900 people (man-times), a growth of 17.6% compared to last year. Among such sites, the Forbidden City received 410,400 visitors, the Summer Palace received 332,500 people and the Badaling Great Wall received 256,400 people.
Since a high number of tourists are coming to Beijing from outside the city during Golden Week, all the tourist sites have lengthen their opening hours. For example, Badaling Great Wall has a program of allowing visitors to climb the Great Wall at night, avoiding the situation of blocking crowds at the site. For the first time, the Ministry of Tourism is giving live updates on the numbers of tourists in the scenic spots through the TV and radio, allowing the townspeople to travel reasonably.
