To avoid crowding at the site, the Huangguoshu Waterfall scenic area will resort to a comprehensive traffic control system during the upcoming National Day holiday. The maximum number of tourists each day will be restricted to 30,000. The site will constantly update the number of tourists it accepts online, and stop selling tickets offline and online once the number of tourists has reached capacity.

It is common for tourist sites to get overloaded during public holidays, and some places could get out of control. Last year, the Jiuzhaigou Vally in Suchuan province failed to cope with a rush of 40,000 tourists, leaving more than 4,000 of them stranded in the valley without shuttles or other transportation until late in the night.
