在七天的国庆假期开启的第一日，中国的铁路网络迎来了创纪录的旅客数量，这一迹象表明全球第二大经济体中国消费市场的复苏态势。据新华社报道，在本周二正式拉开国庆假期序幕时，单日客流量超过2100万人次。预计周三还将有大约1.82亿次旅行发生。
此前几天，中国政府推出了一系列旨在提振全行业复苏的刺激措施，应对正面临全面挑战的经济形势。这些举措包括降低利率、下调银行存款准备金要求以及放宽购房政策限制。近期的数据揭示了9月份制造业活动继续下滑的事实，这凸显了政策支持紧迫性的必要性。
北京的政策似乎正在提振市场信心。上周中国股市录得自2008年以来的最大涨幅，香港上市的中国股票也创下两年来的最高涨幅，这一趋势在周三延续。潜在购房者也在向上海和深圳等城市涌入。
官方预计，在即将到来的七天假期中，国内旅行总量接近20亿人次，与新冠疫情期间同期相比增长约19%。超过80%的旅客预计将选择自驾出行，其余部分将由铁路、航空以及其他交通方式共同承担。
