On-Site Herd Mentality! Huangshan Tourist Numbers Exceed 20,000, Resort Closes Temporarily

From April 1st to April 14th, Huangshan City launched a two-week 'Jianghu Great Land Tour' activity, and residents of Anhui Province can enjoy free admission to 31 tourist attractions.

On April 3rd, Huangshan Scenic Area visitors reported crowding and close proximity while waiting in line.

On April 5th, the official Weibo account of @Huangshan issued two announcements!

At 7:48 AM, @China Huangshan published a notice to stop receiving tourists.

Currently, the number of visitors entering the scenic area has reached twice the tourist flow limit, stopping visitors from entering, please ask tourists to choose other tourist routes or reschedule to visit Huangshan.

Sincerely announce.
