It's Labor Day in China, and hundreds of millions are on the move, making the most of a five-day public holiday. But not everyone is in vacation mode. Trains are running full, restaurants are bustling, police are managing crowds and staff at tourist hotspots are hard at work. One such spot is Jingshan Park – an imperial garden just north of the Forbidden City and a must-see for visitors in Beijing.

CGTN is on the ground, speaking with park staff about how they're preparing for the surge in visitors, the special events they're organizing and what it's like to be on duty while much of the country takes a break.
