国庆假期线下消费市场火爆 - 2021年10月09日

Consumption in Shanghai grew vigorously during the seven-day National Day holiday, with a notable recovery in offline shopping.

The robust consumption was boosted by recent promotions during the autumn shopping and tourism festival, including over 200 featured activities since September, said the city's commission of commerce.

The city's total spending between October 1 and October 7 was 76.588 billion yuan (US$11.87 billion), surging 16 percent from a year earlier and 12.8 percent higher than in the same period in 2019 – before COVID-19 – according to data from the Shanghai Consumer Market Big Data Laboratory.
