During the three-day holiday, the country recorded an impressive 135 million domestic tourist trips, a substantial increase of 155 percent over the previous year.

This upturn in tourism activity translated into a considerable increase in tourism revenue, which reached 79.73 billion yuan (about 10.18 billion euros).

Data from the Ministry of Transport also highlighted the heavy use of China's transport network, with more than 128 million passenger journeys recorded during the holiday period.
