Hangzhou May 1st Holiday
Posted: Sun September 17, 2006 09:39 AM UTC
Can anyone tell me more about this May 1st holiday? I'll be in Hangzhou during that time next year. Are there any special events or celebrations I can look for? How busy does the city get during this time?

Hangzhou RE: May 1st Holiday

VERY busy in the city. This year, we were heading out of the city on 1st, and the roads were jam packed with cars going in. 6 million people visited Hangzhou during the May holiday in 2006. And for a city of that size (2 million in the city, 6 million in the municipality), it is a huge increase.

There will be celebrations ongoing in the city centre (squares) and around the lake. I don't know exactly where or what as I always tried to avoid the crowds duringt the national holidays as I found it unbearable, but locals there should know, or then you may try posting a question on www.hangzhouexpat.com closer to the time.
