The 4.43 million total was about the same as last year's Spring Festival, but tourism revenue — 4.94 billion yuan (USD 780 million) — was up 1.5 percent, according to the Shanghai Tourism Administration.

Per capita spending by tourists staying overnight in Shanghai during the holiday was 1,092 yuan, up 7 percent from last year, according to the administration. Read Original Article |
