      China's courier sector achieves milestone delivery volume

      2024-08-13 09:24 Last Updated At:19:17

      China's courier sector saw its delivery volume exceed 100 billion parcels as of Tuesday, which is 71 days earlier than in 2023, with monthly average business volume and revenues hitting record highs, according to the State Post Bureau.

      This milestone has come amid the ongoing expansion of the courier business, said the bureau. So far this year, the average monthly parcel volume has exceeded 13 billion, and the average monthly business income of the sector has topped 100 billion yuan (about 13.94 billion U.S. dollars).

      The courier market is seeing accelerated growth in the central and western regions of the country, with improving industry-wide infrastructure, more efficient connection between the place of origin and the consumer market, better integrated cold-chain logistics and two-way flows of parcels in rural areas.

      The latest data showed that the delivery volume in rural areas of China has gained a 10-fold increase in the past decade. So far China has built more than 1,200 county-level public delivery service centers and more than 300,000 village-level delivery logistics comprehensive service stations, forming a relatively complete rural delivery logistics system.

      "We have stepped up the construction of delivery logistics system in rural areas and diversified the development of services. The convenient and efficient delivery service network has gradually become an important channel to promote the circulation of urban and rural products. As China’s economy continues to pick up and consumer demand remains strong, the express delivery industry has actively tapped into new fields such as factory services, tourism services, and event services, with the market size expanding steadily. The progress highlights the prosperity and vitality of China's express delivery market and the continuous improvement of development quality and efficiency, and moreover shows the vitality and resilience of China's economy," said Wang Yuehan, an official with the bureau.

      People across China make preparations to welcome Spring Festival

      2025-01-21 06:41 Last Updated At:07:17

      A festive atmosphere is building up as people across China have been making preparations to ring in the Spring Festival next week, with lights and decorations set everywhere, and with New Year goods markets all seeing booming sales.

      The Spring Festival, which marks the start of the Chinese Lunar New Year, is the most important annual holiday in China, when people across the country return to their hometowns for Chinese Lunar New Year celebrations and family reunion. 

      In Xi'an City of northwest China's Shaanxi Province, a grand lantern show is in its final stage of preparation before opening to the public ahead of the eve of the 2025 Chinese Lunar New Year. To be lit up on Wednesday, the large light sets presented at the event will draw numerous visitors, with lanterns that replicate 38 cultural relics as the highlight.

      Buying New Year flowers has been a custom for Chinese people. In Yancheng City of east China's Jiangsu Province, various flowers which have auspicious meanings are already in high demand.

      This year, tulips bred locally have been put on sale, and quickly become a favorable choice for many customers.  

      "I have never seen this kind of flower before. I think it is really bright-colored. Therefore, I decided to buy some to enhance the festive atmosphere at home," said Zhang Jinjian, a local resident.

      The Anchang ancient town in Shaoxing City of east China's Zhejiang Province has a time-honored custom of making aired sausages and spiced duck.

      As the Spring Festival draws near, plenty of visitors and tourists choose to purchase these local delicacies as ingredients for their Chinese New Year feast.

      "The number of tourists has been increasing, so the sales of our spiced meat have been quite good. Compared with the same period of last year, our sales is expected to increase by about 50,000 yuan (about 6,835 U.S. dollars). We will earn an additional 200,000 to 300,000 yuan (27,335 to 41,000 U.S. dollars) in sales during this whole winter," said Yang Jing, owner of a local spiced meat shop.

      In southwest China's Yunnan Province, the "Tiaocai dance" is a time-honored tradition of the Yi ethnic minority group. The dance is presented in the form of serving dishes while dancing to the rhythm. It usually happens on a joyous or grand occasion.

      Since the most significant annual festival is around the corner, Yi people have dressed up in traditional costumes, and got ready to welcome the arrival of the Chinese Lunar New Year with the special dance.
