The Luohu district government launched consumer vouchers worth 30 million yuan ($4.53 million) for the May Day holiday from April 30 to May 4.

Starting from April 28, the vouchers were issued through UnionPay and digital renminbi platforms to boost consumption. During the holiday, many department stores in Luohu also organized some discount activities to attract consumers and promote sales.

The measures were effective. For example, Dongmen pedestrian street, a popular shopping destination, received 40% more visitors than the previous week.
