WUHAN (China Daily/ANN): Twenty-two major tourist attractions that reopened in Hubei province, the hardest hit region by the Covid-19 contagion in China, had received 520,400 visitors from Friday to Sunday (May 1-3), as people enjoy their first public holiday since the regional lockdown was lifted.

Although numbers were down significantly year-on-year, the tourism market is gradually recovering in the province as pandemic control measures are still in place.
