Shenzhen's Yantian Port set a new Chinese port record on October 2nd by handling 28,684 TEUs on a single vessel, reflecting China's expanding global shipping network and rising international logistics demand.

China's 2026 National Day box office surpassed 1 billion yuan, led by domestic films, with a growing senior moviegoing market featuring age-friendly screenings and services.

During the National Day holiday, Danxia Mountain in Shaoguan, Guangdong, drew large crowds. An earlier remark by TV personality Sa Beining, "Whenever you're not working, come to Danxia Mountain," has recently resurfaced on social media, helping bring the scenic area back into the spotlight.
