During the Golden Week all scenic spots in and around the city were as extremely busy as expected. New tourist attractions such as Lu Xun’s native place and Luzhen town have drawn visitors who crowded in for a view of new sights while traditional attractions such as Orchid Pavilion, Donghu Lake and Yu Mausoleum have scored new records of visitor numbers.  

In Lu Xun’s native place, "congested" is the word most frequently used by visitors who were asked to describe their impression of the new destination. 11,000 visitors toured the place on October 1. During the first five days, nearly 100,000 people arrived to see the "native place". On October 4, 26,000 tourists visited the place, buying entrance tickets worth 220,000 Yuan, presenting 290% and 53% increases respectively in comparison with the same period last year. Of the 26,000 tourists, around 88% were individual visitors, and about 11.6% came with a tour group. Compared to previous years, the number of visitors from Jiangsu Province was on the big increase, and the numbers of visitors from Zhejiang and Shanghai were also on the increase. According to the local tourism department, it was due to active promotions done in Jiangsu Province in general and in Nanjing city in particular this year that the number of visitors from Jiangsu province boomed. It is the first time Jiangsu Province surpassed Shanghai as the biggest tourist source market for Shaoxing.  

Luzhen town, as another new spot of cultural and historical interest, also "beamed with smiles" during the Golden Week. In the first five days 77,000 people visited the town. The hotline phone in Keyan scenic zone was almost busy all the time. Activities such as “Taking a woman for marriage by force”, “Grand Blessing Ceremony”, and “Village Theaters” were staged every day and tourists who came especially for these performances were delighted and satisfied.  

Though some old scenic spots were not so busy as new one, they were crowded too. During the first five days, 100,000 people visited Keyan scenic spot. Donghu Lake, Orchid Pavilion and Yu Mausoleum saw an increase above 40%  of visitors as compared with the same period last year.
