  "summary": "Rain on the second day of Hong Kong's National Day \"golden week\" holiday had a dampening effect on visitor numbers at popular attractions, with queues at the Peak Tram terminus remaining relatively short. While some tourists adapted to the weather by choosing indoor activities such as visiting museums and cultural spots, others expressed disappointment over the city views obscured by the rain. The influx of mainland Chinese visitors, numbering over 277,300 on the first day, accounted for nearly half of total inbound passengers during the seven-day holiday period.",
