Affected by the epidemic, many people stayed in place for lunar new year. It is worth mentioning that stayed in place for lunar new year can not be underestimated in promoting cultural and travel consumption in cities where labor is imported. After the transportation spending for the Spring Festival was reduced, the potential of leisure vacation and retail consumption was greatly released.

The number of visitors to Shanghai Disneyland rose sharply, reaching 970.47 million on the second day of the Chinese New Year, which was 25.4 times the number at the beginning of last year.

The huge number of tourists also brought Chengdu a dazzling revenue, a total of 12.76 billion yuan, 7 billion yuan more than the second place Shanghai. This is mainly due to the rich tourism products in Chengdu. Sanya also performed well, with per capita spending of 3,713 yuan topping the list.
