China has wrapped up its National Day and Mid-Autumn Festival holidays with impressive numbers.
During the eight-day holiday break, 888 million trips were made, marking a 16% increase compared to the previous year. Domestic tourism revenue reached over 800 billion yuan, approximately $113 billion, a 15% year-on-year growth.
