豫园元宵灯会将实行人流控制   2016-02-01

 

VISITOR numbers are being restricted at Yuyuan Garden during its month-long Lantern Festival, which began on January 26, officials said yesterday.

The gates will be shut when the 40,000 visitors mark is hit and the famous zigzag Jiuqu Bridge will be closed.

Over 20 state-of-the-art surveillance cameras have been installed at the eight entrances to the garden to monitor visitor traffic and transmit data to a nearby police command center, said Wu Zhongqing, vice chairman of the company that manages the garden.
