Hangzhou, a southern Chinese city famous for tourist spots, has organised volunteers to help pedestrians cross busy roads as the city welcomes tourists during the Labour Day holidays.

It is reported that this is the eighth year of the "Human Wall" volunteer service. However, some have criticised it as a "show" and a "waste of manpower." In response, Shen Tingchong, the relevant person in charge, stated: "We are doing a very positive thing. If it was just a 'show,' we couldn't have been doing it for eight years.”

It’s reported that since the Labour Day holiday in China started on April 29, the scenic spots welcomed a surge in visitors.

The video was filmed on April 29 and provided with local media’s permission.

4月29日，浙江杭州，“五一”假期首日，“最美人墙”2.0版正式上线，以全新的队形为市民游客的出行保驾护航。不久前，延安路和平海路交叉口重新设置了“X”型对角斑马线，使得行人不再需要过两次人行道便能直达斜对面。为了配合杭州延安路和平海路，交叉口斑马线设置的变化，人墙的队形由原先的“二”字形，转变成为如今的“X”形，继续为大家的安全出行保驾护航。
据了解，这已经是“最美人墙”志愿服务的第八个年头，但与此同时，有一些声音表示，这是在“作秀”，是“浪费人力”。对此，负责人沈廷冲表示，“我们在做一件很正能量的事情，如果是‘作秀’，我们不可能一做就是八年。”
