Multiple tourist spots across China have witnessed tickets being sold out and advised visitors to reschedule their plans as number from the May Day holidays in the world’s second-largest economy continues to smash all expectations. On Monday, authorities in Gulangyu island, the pedestrian-only island off the coast of Xiamen, announced all the ferry tickets to the island had been sold out, suggesting tourists who have not purchased tickets to visit island on another day. In Central China’s Wuhan city, the Yellow Crane Tower, the traditional Chinese tower has been at maximum receiving capacity for two days straight, roughly 40,000 people.
