Chinese consumers opened their wallets to shop during the week-long National Day holiday that ended Thursday, even as travel numbers fell compared to the previous year.

    和去年国庆黄金周相比，尽管今年出游人数有所下降，但是中国消费者依然在今年的国庆假期敞开钱包“买买买”。

Sales at nine duty-freeshops in the southern island province of Hainan totaled nearly1.64 billion yuan ($252.3 million) from Oct. 1 to 6, according to state media. That marked an increase of 75% from the same period in 2020, and more than four times more — or a 359% jump — compared to the same period in 2019, the report said.

     据官方媒体报道，从10月1日到10月6日，海南省9家免税店的销售总额接近人民币16.4亿元(约2.523亿美元)。报告称，这一数字比2020年同期增长了75%，是2019年同期的4倍多（增长了359%）。

Hainan has become a popular destination for Chinese shoppers who used to travel overseas before the pandemic to buy luxury goods.

    海南已成为中国购物者的热门目的地。在新冠肺炎疫情前，消费者则更多地到海外购买奢侈品。

The pandemic still weighed during this year's National Day holiday, also known as China's"Golden Week."

今年的国庆假期，即中国的“黄金周”期间，疫情形势仍然严峻。

It has historically been a popular time to travel since it is one of two lengthy holidays in a country where workers have few personal vacation days.

黄金周一直以来都是旅游的热门时段，是上班族每年拥有的两个法定长假之一，其他时候个人假期跟国外上班族相比是比较少的。

Tourism spending of389.1 billion yuan from Oct. 1 to 7 was only about 60% of what it was in 2019,and down 4.7% from the same period in 2020, according to China's Ministry of Culture and Tourism. Tourist trips reached 515 million during the week-long holiday this year — about 70% of 2019 levels and down 1.5% from 2020.

根据中国文旅部数据，10月1日至10月7日，中国旅游消费支出为3,891亿元，仅为2019年水平的60%，较2020年同期下降4.7%。旅游出行次数达到5.15亿次，约为2019年水平的70%，较2020年下降1.5%。
