As millions across China embark on Labor Day travels, Jingshan Park – a historic gem overlooking Beijing's Forbidden City – is quietly orchestrating a symphony of preparations to welcome holiday crowds. While visitors admire blooming peonies and panoramic views, park staff balance preservation efforts with festive programming.
"We've doubled cleaning shifts and added multilingual signage to enhance safety," explains Zhao Wei, a senior park coordinator, during a break between inspecting century-old pavilions. "Our team takes pride in showcasing this UNESCO-protected site, even during peak hours."
This year's celebrations feature dusk-to-dawn illuminations of Ming-era architecture and guided storytelling walks about imperial garden traditions. Security personnel use AI-powered crowd monitoring systems developed with Beijing Tech University, reflecting China's blend of cultural heritage and technological innovation.
At the park's iconic Wanchun Pavilion viewing deck, staff member Li Ming shares: "Seeing families create memories here makes the busy schedule worthwhile. We're custodians of history first, tourist facilitators second."
