China witnessed a notable rise in foreign travelers during the five-day May Day holiday. The surge was fueled by factors like favorable visa policies and increased flight capacity. From May 1 to 3, Beijing saw 162,000 passenger trips, up 21.5 percent from last year, while Guangzhou saw 32,000 inbound trips, up 43 percent, according to border authorities. The Shanghai Border Inspection Station projected 594,000 passenger trips at the city's various ports between May 1 and 5, a year-on-year rise of 30.7 percent.
