Hong Kong's efforts to host large-scale cultural and sports events helped attract more than 400,000 visitors from around the world to experience a blend of tradition and modernity during the Dragon Boat Festival holiday.

Over the three-day break that began on Saturday, the city recorded over 412,800 visitors — an 11 percent jump from the same period last year.

Tourists from the Chinese mainland accounted for over 330,000, up nearly 10 percent year-on-year and almost 40 percent more than during the first three days of the Easter holiday in March.
