Is it true that you can't travel across provinces and borders during the May Day holiday?

The news that cross-provincial and cross-border tourism is not allowed during the May Day holiday is unclear. On April 9, the central government made it clear that "cross-provincial and cross-border tourism will not be resumed for the time being", but it did not specify the recovery time.

On April 9th, the Central Leading Group for Response to the COVID-19 Epidemic issued the Guiding Opinions on Actively and Orderly Promoting the Resumption of Work and Production while Effectively Preventing and Controlling the Epidemic. The Opinions put forward seven requirements and clearly stated that "national cultural and sports activities and cross-provincial cross-border tourism will not be resumed for the time being".

Recently, the cultural and tourism departments of Zhejiang, Jiangsu, Anhui, Henan, Jiangxi, Shanghai and other places have issued notices, allowing tourism activities to be organized in provinces or cities. Many scenic spots have adopted online booking, current restriction and other methods. When entering the scenic spot, it is necessary to measure the body temperature, check the health code and register information. However, whether the national cultural and sports activities and cross-provincial cross-border tourism will resume during the May Day holiday depends on the development of the epidemic and the state's notice.

Extended data

May Day in 2020 ushered in the longest holiday in 12 years.

On April 9th, according to the news released by Beijing official Weibo, there will be a five-day holiday on May 1st. This is the longest May Day holiday after the May Day Golden Week became a three-day holiday in 2008. According to Qunar.com, the search volume of May Day holiday this week increased by 76% compared with last week, while the search volume data of Tongcheng Yilong showed that the search volume of flights departing on April 30th was nearly three times that of April 29th.

Zhao Ping, director of the International Trade Research Department of China Council for the Promotion of International Trade, told reporters that the three-day holiday is characterized by arranging short-term activities, such as Zhou Bianyou, farmhouse tours and suburban tours. If the holiday is extended to five days, it will be possible to travel across provinces. Extending this year to five days will help the development of domestic tourism.

Global Network-Yangguang made it clear that national cultural and sports activities and cross-provincial cross-border tourism will not be resumed for the time being.
