ABOUT 4.9 million people visited tourist attractions in Shanghai during the three-day Dragon Boat Festival holiday, Shanghai Tourism Administration said yesterday.
The high turnout was partly because of pleasant weather and folk activities held across the city.

About 34,000 tourists enjoyed 143 cruise trips on the Huangpu River, which was up 2 percent from the same period of last year.
The historical building walks in Xuhui and Jing’an districts were also very popular. A dragon boat race on Huating Lake in Songjiang District attracted more than 20,000 people, while the Luodian Dragon Boat Culture Festival in Baoshan District and Oriental Green Boat Park in Qingpu District were other preferred destinations.
The occupancy rates at hotels was 56.1 percent, up 3.5 percent from a year earlier.
