During the National Day holiday, Shaoxing's consumer market surged, with the city's 35 key retail enterprises reporting a total sales figure of 280 million yuan ($39.62 million), an 8.5 percent year-on-year increase, according to local commerce authorities.

The city organized over 10 themed events, including food festivals, auto shows, and home furnishing sales, which not only heightened the holiday spirit but also offered substantial discounts, fueling a wave of consumer spending.

Shaoxing's two new major commercial complexes, Shaoxing Tiandi and Longfor Paradise Walk, opened just before the holiday, drawing large crowds. "On the opening day, we saw 240,000 visitors, and the entire holiday exceeded our expectations," said a representative from Shaoxing Tiandi, which now hosts over 150 brands.

The city also hosted three car shows during the week. Incentives like trade-in subsidies spurred strong interest, with the Zhuji Auto Show alone featuring over 30 brands and attracting thousands of visitors. More than 1,500 vehicles were sold, generating 250 million yuan in sales.
