(Xinhua\/Ju Huanzong)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">BEIJING, Oct. 9 (Xinhua) &#8212; China saw 826 million domestic tourist trips during the recent seven-day National Day holiday, with tourism spending totaling 738.38 billion yuan (about 109.67 billion U.S. dollars), the Ministry of Culture and Tourism said on Friday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On a daily average basis, the number of domestic trips rose 6.3 percent from the eight-day National Day and Mid-Autumn Festival holiday in 2025, while tourism spending increased 4.3 percent, according to the ministry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The holiday witnessed a vibrant cultural scene, with 180 large-scale performances held nationwide, including 125 concerts and 55 music festivals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Beyond cultural performances, the integration of tourism with culture, commerce and sports continued to deepen. Mass-participation sports events and digital innovations offered visitors new experiences and helped drive tourism-related consumption.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Meanwhile, around 40 percent of tourists visited revolutionary sites or took part in activities such as flag-raising ceremonies and patriotic performances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This trend takes on added significance this year, which marks the 90th anniversary of the victory of the Long March (1934-1936). The arduous journey helped lay the foundation for the eventual victory of the Chinese revolution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dai Bin, president of the China Tourism Academy, said the flow of visitors to revolutionary landmarks reflects people&#8217;s emotional identification with revolutionary traditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When they travel, they don&#8217;t just want to see history. They also want to draw deeper inspiration from the revolutionary legacy for their lives today, Dai noted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Measures to boost tourism consumption have also helped expand holiday options for visitors and enhance their travel experiences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Under a nationwide cultural and tourism consumption campaign running from late September through October, local authorities have organized a variety of activities and distributed more than 310 million yuan in consumption subsidies.&nbsp;\u25a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/english.news.cn\/20261009\/fbb9e4a408c44352a24e030c5e02ef45\/ed52da233f224f2aa03c800989d518f7.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tourists in traditional costumes take selfies at the Hetou Old Street scenic area in Fengnan District of Tangshan City, north China&#8217;s Hebei Province, Oct. 1, 2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">China recorded 826 million domestic tourist trips during the seven-day National Day holiday, with tourism spending totaling 738.38 billion yuan (about 109.67 billion U.S. dollars), the Ministry of Culture and Tourism said Friday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On a daily average basis, the number of domestic trips rose 6.3 percent from the eight-day National Day and Mid-Autumn Festival holiday in 2025, while tourism spending increased 4.3 percent, according to the ministry.
