Consumption boomed in China on Thursday — the first day of Dragon Boat Festival holiday — benefiting the tourism, entertainment, transportation and catering sectors in particular, which experts said will help facilitate the country's economic recovery and growth.
端午節假期首日掀起的消費熱浪給旅游、娛樂、交通和餐飲行業都帶來了利好，專家指出這將有助于推動我國的經濟復蘇和增長。
Tourist destinations across the country were flooded with millions of visitors taking advantage of the three-day holiday, according to data released by various localities.
各地數據顯示，端午三天小長假期間，全國各地旅游景點人潮涌動。
Shanghai, for instance, tallied more than 2.76 million visits on Thursday, while Zhejiang's provincial capital Hangzhou, home to the West Lake, registered 882,000 visits, data from local tourism departments showed.
地方旅游部門數據顯示，6月22日上海接待游客超276萬人次，而擁有西湖美景的浙江省會杭州接待游客88.2萬人次。
Tourists also flocked to places such as Zibo, Shandong province, to enjoy its famed barbecue; Chengdu, Sichuan province, to see giant pandas; and Changbai Mountain, Jilin province, to escape the summer heat.
還有許多游客到山東淄博去吃當地著名燒烤，到四川成都去看大熊貓，到吉林長白山去避暑。
Xu Hongcai, deputy director of the economic policy committee at the China Association of Policy Sciences, said that the holiday travel spending spree is further evidence that the tourism sector is recovering after the country fine-tuned its COVID-19 response measures in January.
中國政策科學研究會經濟政策委員會副主任徐洪才指出，假期旅游消費熱潮進一步證明，自從今年1月份我國優化新冠防控措施以后，旅游行業正在復蘇。
More importantly, the holiday tourist boom has shed light on the resilience and strength of the world's second-largest economy and will factor in the nation's overall economic recovery efforts this year, Xu said.
他表示，更重要的是，假期旅游熱展示出我國作為世界第二大經濟體的韌性和力量，并將助推我國經濟的全面復蘇。
"I would have liked to travel to any destination as long as I could secure a high-speed train ticket or a flight ticket at a relatively inexpensive price," said Zhang Liyang, a 29-year-old who works for a consulting company in Beijing.
就職于北京一家咨詢公司的29歲的張立陽（音譯）說：“只要我能買到價格比較合適的高鐵票或飛機票，我愿意到任何地方去旅游?！?/p>
However, Zhang failed to find cheaper train tickets — which are much more difficult to acquire as the public engages in intense competition to secure them during holidays — and flight tickets were over his budget. He chose to stay in Beijing instead and enjoy some films.
但是，張立陽沒買到比較便宜的高鐵票（假期低價高鐵票太難搶，競爭太激烈），飛機票也超出了他的預算。于是他選擇留在北京看電影。
"As a movie buff, homegrown films released during the Dragon Boat Festival did not let me down, especially the crime thriller Lost in the Stars," he said, adding that he also watched another Chinese movie, Love Never Ends, which tells the story of two lonely, impoverished elderly lovers at the end of their lives.
他說：“端午節期間上映的國產電影并沒有讓我這個電影迷失望，尤其是犯罪驚悚片《消失的她》?！彼硎咀约哼€看了另一部國產電影《我愛你！》，該片講述了兩個孤獨貧窮的老年人的黃昏戀。
According to movie data platform Maoyan, China's box office receipts from Thursday to Friday morning topped 400 million yuan ($55.7 million).
電影數據平臺貓眼電影稱，從6月22日至23日晨，國內的票房收入突破了4億元人民幣。
Furthermore, people have shown a stronger willingness to dine out for gatherings during the holiday as evidenced by data released by the Ministry of Commerce.
此外，據商務部發布的數據顯示，端午小長假期間，人們外出聚餐的意愿也增強了。
According to China UnionPay Merchant Services, food and beverage spending increased by more than 20 percent year-on-year in the past seven days.
中國銀聯商戶服務平臺的數據顯示，過去一周食品飲料消費同比上漲超20%。
Zhou Maohua, an analyst at China Everbright Bank, said that the government should roll out more policy measures, such as issuing discount coupons, to sustain robust consumption momentum after the holiday.
中國光大銀行分析師周茂華表示，政府應推出更多政策措施，比如發放折扣券，來保持假期后消費的良好勢頭。
In the face of weakening external demand and sluggishness in the global economy, China needs to fully tap the potential of its domestic consumption to shore up its economic growth this year, he added.
他指出，面對外部需求疲軟和全球經濟低迷的現實，中國需要充分挖掘國內消費潛力來支撐今年的經濟增長。
