This blooming agave plant is in our neighborhood and has made it onto reddit, twitter etc. Now the neighbors are asking that people quit visiting. I've noticed the crowds increasing by the day but I guess it's gotten out of hand. I wonder if people in South America would get so fired up about a douglas fir?

China recorded 85 million domestic tourists during the first three days of the five-day May Day holiday, generating 35 billion yuan ($4.95 billion) in revenue, according to the country's Ministry of Culture and Tourism.
Last year, 195 million domestic tourists traveled during the entire holiday, generating 117.7 billion yuan ($16.67 billion) in revenue, according to previous data from the ministry.
Amid the Covid-19 pandemic, the ministry has ordered tourist sites in the country to strictly control the flow of visitors, capping numbers at 30% of each site's capacity.
Some 70% of scenic spots rated "A class" in China's tiered grading system were open on the first day of the holiday, according to the ministry.
