Exhibitions in Chengdu During May Day Holiday
Author: GoChengdu 2021-04-29
After laboring for a whole long fortnight with just one day off, the 5-day-holiday (May Day) is just around the corner! Time is ticking away and carefree holidays are on their way!
 
Got a mental to-do-list? Maybe not. Reports circulate that the trains, flights and hotels are either fully booked or over-booked, with the booking number hitting a record high again. It is understood that the passenger population could reach 250 million at peak times this year, even outstripping the figure for the same period in 2019.
 
Are you unnerved by the stunning figure and the daunting prospect of getting stuck in overwhelming crowds and seeing nothing but a sea of people after a long and strenuous journey, or simply sitting bumper to bumper in traffic jams for hours? Spare yourself the trouble! Sleeping in, and hanging out with your friends on short excursions to the exhibitions might be a good choice. 
 
We've selected five exhibitions in Chengdu during the May Day holiday. Check them out and take your time to chill out.
