cultureMay 6, 20264

China recorded 1.517 billion cross-regional trips during the May Day holiday from May 1 to May 5, the Ministry of Transport said. The five-day national box office totaled 758 million yuan, with Vanishing Point topping holiday receipts. Local governments including Beijing, Hebei, Zhejiang, Anhui and Yunnan launched movie subsidies and Sichuan issued 3 million yuan in movie vouchers over five days to stimulate attendance. The travel surge and targeted subsidy programs indicate stronger consumer spending and give retail, tourism and film industries a tangible holiday boost.
