00:00information. China recorded historic highs in mobility and consumption during the recent
00:05national holiday. Millions of people traveled across the country, while both domestic and
00:11international tourism showed notable growth. From Beijing, this is the report by our correspondent
00:17Bruno Falsi. During the National Day and Mid-Autumn Festival holidays, China reached a historical
00:25record of more than 800 million trips nationwide. Families celebrated with lights and traditions
00:33that filled streets and communities with joy. We made this beautiful luncheon to help children
00:39learn about traditional Chinese culture and festival customs. Everyone is filled with joy
00:43and united in harmony. We brought our son so he could experience the atmosphere of traditional
00:50festivals and learn about our culture. Happy Mid-Autumn Festival to everyone and may our
00:56motherland be prospered. The celebrations boosted trade and domestic tourism. During the week-long
01:04national holiday, tourism revenue exceeded $103 billion, with record sales in dining, lodging
01:14and cultural activities. I've been to the almond shop, which is very different. So anything
01:22that's different from the UK, that's what we're looking for. Souvenirs, it's to take gifts back
01:28for grandchildren. So lots of toy shops, lots of clothes for the kids, so that's good. And
01:35then we've got adults as well. Growth was also reflected in the arrival of foreign visitors. An
01:42increasing number of tourists are chosen in China to explore its history and cultural diversity
01:49in a modern and welcome environment. Yeah, that makes it much more easier for us to have a good
01:55time from all the places, from the shops, the restaurants, even the small communities. It's
02:03actually very nice. I like the people over here. I want to explore Haiha, visit a beautiful
02:12village in the countryside called the Sino-Russian ethnic culture park. I also want to buy some nice
02:22things downtown. With record high in mobility, tourism and consumption, China projects to the world the image
02:32of a modern open nation in full economic and cultural growth. Bruno Fauci, Beijing, China for Telesur.
