Tourism, a tranquil affair

During the National Day holiday, the Palace Museum in Beijing received more than 460,000 tourists in five days, far beyond its maximum capacity. Overcrowding and cacophony marked the five days. In contrast, the Taipei Palace Museum doesn't ever present such a scene, says an article in Beijing News. Excerpts:

It's not hard to imagine how crowded the Palace Museum in Beijing is when more than 100,000 people visit it in a day.
