According to the ministry, the tourism-related revenue reached over 37.31 billion yuan ($5.2 billion) during the holiday, a year-on-year rise of 44.5 percent, accounting for 94.9 percent of the same period from 2019.
Allowing for the hot weather, destinations with mild climates and those with coastal views were favored by travelers to avoid the summer heat, including the northwest provinces and regions of Qinghai, Gansu and Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region and Inner Mongolia autonomous region, the ministry said.
