More than a thousand visitors made a beeline to the city’s urban planning exhibition hall every day during the latter part of the seven-day Spring Festival holiday, mainly for an exhibition about the city's newly approved master plan for 2035.

The Shanghai Urban Planning Exhibition Center received more than 1,300 visitors — both tourists and residents — each day, or 30 percent more than its daily average, since it reopened on Sunday, according to Zhu Kan, an official with the center. The center was closed from Thursday, or Chinese New Year's eve, through Saturday. Most visitors were drawn to the new exhibition on the third floor titled "Shanghai 2035," which is the first official exhibition about the city's long-term master plan since it was approved by the State Council, or China's Cabinet, in December, Zhu said.
