Comprehensive List of Parks For You to Enjoy This Labor Holiday
advertisement
As the flowers bloom, so do the crowds. However, not all public parks have reopened in time for the May Day holiday and many are operating under limited conditions. Remember, if in doubt, call ahead and remember to take your ID, mask, prepare to submit to temperature checks, and do not gather. If possible, try to book ahead, especially for parks that require real-name identification. With those simple rules in mind, it's still possible to go out and enjoy the long holiday in Beijing at these reopened parks.
