As millions across China kick off their 5-day Labor Day escape, the iconic Jingshan Park in Beijing is buzzing with quiet heroics. Nestled next to the Forbidden City, this imperial garden is ready to welcome waves of visitors – but what does it take to handle one of the busiest holidays of the year?
The Calm Before the Storm 🌪️
Park staff shared exclusive details with CGTN: from doubling cleaning shifts to deploying AI-powered crowd-monitoring systems. ‘We’re prepping picnic zones and live cultural performances to spread visitors evenly,’ says park coordinator Li Wei. ‘Our goal? Make everyone forget the crowds!’ 💬
Cherry Blossoms & Safety Protocols 🌸
With peak spring blooms drawing crowds of up to 200,000 daily, teams conduct hourly safety checks on historic pavilions and pathways. ‘I haven’t celebrated Labor Day with my family in 8 years,’ admits security officer Zhang Ming. ‘But seeing kids laugh under our ancient trees? That’s my holiday.’ 👨👩👧👦
Meanwhile, cultural ambassadors are rehearsing Qing Dynasty-era storytelling sessions – blending history with TikTok-friendly reels. 🎭 #GenZApproved
