China's gross consumer goods retail sales hit 300 billion yuan (US$37.5
billion) during the "Golden Week" holiday (October 1-7), up 14.5 per cent
on the same period of last year, according to the Ministry of Commerce.
A survey released on Saturday showed consumers spent their cash on a
variety of products. Mobile phones, liquid crystal TV sets, digital
devices, jewellery and clothes were among the bestsellers.
China has three week-long breaks each year, called "golden weeks". They
take place at Spring Festival, May 1 International Labour Day and
October 1 National Day.
