  • China saw about 119 million domestic tourist trips made during the three-day Tomb Sweeping Day holiday, up 11.5% over the same period in 2019, data from the Ministry of Culture and Tourism showed. Domestic tourism revenue during the period totaled CNY53.95 billion, up 12.7% from the pre-pandemic level. (Source: Jiemian News)

However, steel mills expect demand to remain resilient from robust consumption in automobile, home appliance, and shipbuilding sectors.
