On April 28, Shenzhen gave residents the first batch of electronic shopping vouchers, which also boosted consumption during the holiday.


Ma Jing, general manager of InterContinental Shenzhen Dameisha Resort, told the Daily that the hotel’s occupancy rate during the May Day holiday reached 90%, adding that “almost every day there were hotel guests using their consumption coupons offered by the city.”


Parks were also popular places of leisure as usual during the holiday. Shenzhen parks welcomed roughly 2.28 million visits during the five-day holiday.


Shenzhen Bay Park, Dameisha Coastal Park, and Yangtai Mountain Forest Park were reported as the most popular destinations, according to the Shenzhen Municipal Urban Administration and Law Enforcement Bureau.


Many sports venues across the city also welcomed busy times during the holiday.


The most popular sports at Futian Coastal Ecological Sports Park are football, frisbee, and rugby, according to Zeng Jinsheng, park staffer.


“Doing some exercises is a good choice while staying put during the holiday. Playing frisbee with friends can reduce work pressure,” a citizen named Xie Huanyong was quoted as saying.


A staffer from Longgang Dayun Center said that swimming, basketball and football are most popular programs among visitors during the holiday. Moreover, there was more enthusiasm for winter sports such as skating and ice hockey, according to Shenzhen Evening News.
