SHANGHAI, May 5 (Xinhua) -- Shanghai received a total of 7.07 million tourists during the May Day holiday, according to the Shanghai Municipal Administration of Culture and Tourism.

From May 1 to Tuesday afternoon, the tourists contributed a total of 9.5 billion yuan (about 1.35 billion U.S. dollars) in consumption, said the administration.

Over 130 tourist attractions in the city received 2.85 million visits during the holiday.

The tourism rebound came after a relaxation of travel restrictions amid dwindling COVID-19 cases in the country.

The city requires reservations for tours of all tourist attractions to prevent crowding while tourist sites should not exceed 30 percent of their daily or real-time visitor capacity.

Tourists are also required to wear face masks, show their health QR codes and have their body temperatures taken for their safety. Enditem
