National Day tourism scenes Lights, culture and trips

Oct 1–6

CCTV's complete holiday-consumption roundup covers Shanghai's third International Light Festival and resident testimony; Tongzhou's Cloud Carb Festival, nearly 250,000 visitors and over ¥1.5 million over the first five holiday days; Huai'an's interactive Journey to the West park and 2,000-drone/fireworks show; Dunhuang camel and craft experiences; Weihai's revolutionary plays, VR study tours, mass choir and night activities; Xiantao's first symphonic fireworks gala; Mount Hua's National Day singing; and Ji'an Route 331 autumn road trips, roughly 20% higher Wunüfeng attendance and busy RV services. Local participant views and counts retain their locations and periods; they are not a national spending total.

During the 2026 National Day holiday, Shanghai's third International Light Festival illuminates more than seventy shopping districts and commercial venues. CCTV describes West Bund installations, music and markets and Minhang's digital and heritage-themed displays, with resident Wang Jiani's favourable account. The report links visitor activity to nighttime spending without giving a citywide spending total.
