In golden October, as the National Day holiday drew to a close, a series of impressive holiday consumption figures were released one after another, reflecting the vigorous pulse of the holiday economy.

The land of China presents a flourishing and prosperous scene, painting an uplifting picture of the era in the opening year of the 15th Five-Year Plan.

During the 2026 National Day holiday, cross-regional personnel flows across society continued to operate at a high level, with single-day personnel movement exceeding 300 million person-times for multiple consecutive days; on October 1, railways nationwide sent 25.204 million passengers, setting a new historical record for single-day passenger volume.

Total box office revenue for National Day releases surpassed 1.15 billion yuan, with outstanding domestic films continuing to win people's affection, and "film plus cultural tourism" giving rise to a new trend of check-in travel.

Major commercial districts and pedestrian streets were bustling with crowds; from October 1 to 6, trade-in programs for consumer goods drove 33.48 billion yuan in sales, continuously unleashing consumption potential.

At port terminals, giant vessels came and went, while a batch of major energy infrastructure projects advanced steadily, including the Gonghe photovoltaic and concentrated solar power base in Qinghai and the compressed carbon dioxide energy storage project in Mulei, Xinjiang.

These vivid scenes together outline a China with surging flows of people, thriving supply and demand, and a blend of resilience, potential, and boundless vitality.

The vibrant landscape and uplifting atmosphere serve as a vivid testament to the hundreds of millions of people sharing in the fruits of the era's development.

The extensive railway "arteries" connecting all directions carry hundreds of millions of people as they travel across mountains and seas to celebrate the festival together, making a "mobile China" more smooth and accessible.

Rural cultural tourism and farmhouse homestays were filled with guests, as visitors from all directions entered the countryside and fields, experiencing the beauty of the land amid green mountains and clear waters.

Digital services are deeply integrated into people's daily lives—online reservations, smart scenic areas, seamless passage, and online shopping—allowing convenient services to be enjoyed with a tap of the finger, making the holiday more comfortable and pleasant.

While celebrating the festival, people witness the changes of the times and truly feel the sense of gain and happiness brought by development.

New growth points in service consumption continue to emerge, injecting surging vitality into high-quality economic development.

Amid the prosperity and vibrancy of the National Day holiday, countless workers added a distinctive luster to the festival with their hard-earned sweat, offering the most beautiful blessings to the motherland through their actions.

On the thousands of miles of railway lines, railway workers stayed at their posts, safeguarding the safe travel of hundreds of millions of passengers; on streets, in scenic areas and commercial districts, service workers warmly received guests, ensuring the orderly operation of the holiday market; across the vast countryside, grassroots officials rooted themselves at the front lines, protecting their hometowns and cultivating revitalization; and there were also industrial workers and public security police who held their posts—each selfless figure lifting up the peace of the festival, the smoothness of journeys, and the convenience of life.

The vibrant scene of National Day 2026 sounded the horn for forging ahead.

A China surging with vitality fully displays the uplifting posture of the times, gathering the mighty power of hundreds of millions of Chinese sons and daughters to build dreams together.

On a new journey, with new practical efforts and new climbs, the land of China will surely remain full of vigor and prosperity, with a peaceful country and a contented people.
