City has ‘begun to emerge from the fog of the pandemic’; most visitors come from mainland China, although thousands make the journey from Hong Kong.
Figure strikes even sharper contrast with 2019, when city hosted more than 39 million visitors before onset of Covid-19 pandemic.
Cold weather expected for the next few days, with thermometer dipping to 8 degrees Celsius on Sunday. Weather bureau tells residents to wrap up.
