After that, we will be given a license. We intend to officially put the liner into operation this spring and use it in the most popular destinations, such as Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Chengdu."

The large-sized passenger aircraft C919 is the first medium-haul airliner developed in China. Its first flight took place in 2017, and last year the aircraft received a certificate of airworthiness. It can carry up to 192 passengers on board, and the maximum flight range reaches 5 and a half thousand kilometers.

Almost a thousand workers and hundreds of units of special equipment are involved in the facility. According to the plan, the construction will be completed by the end of next year. Two high-speed trains will run by rail. It will also be connected to four metro lines, which will create the largest underground transport hub in Asia.

People are buying gold! The flow of customers is getting bigger and this is a favorable sign for the entire consumer market."

In addition to the big-eared symbol, people buy gold beads and ingots for collections or as gifts.

"I came here to buy gold jewelry for my family," says one of the buyers.

"I bought some jewelry: a golden rabbit and some beads," says a customer - a young girl. - I believe that they will bring me happiness in the New Year. I often buy gold jewelry for my family as gifts for the Spring Festival."

According to an analyst of one of the Chinese jewelry companies, buyers of precious metals are divided into 2 groups. Some prefer to buy traditional and antique jewelry, others invest in gold.

Li Yang, jewelry company analyst: "Since 2000, gold prices have been steadily rising.

Many will gradually increase the share of gold reserves in their assets, primarily as a protection against short-term inflationary pressure."

Due to the pandemic, the purchase of gold in China has decreased, however, the World Gold Council has published a report stating that this year the Chinese demand for gold will begin to grow again due to the easing of antiviral restrictions.

The Spring Festival has become an incentive for the development of tourism in the city of Beihai

It is located 300 kilometers from tropical Hainan and is considered a worthy alternative to the famous tourist city of Sanya. The main pride of Beihai is the Silver Beach on the shore of the picturesque Bay of Beibu, its length is 24 kilometers. In addition to relaxing on sun loungers, Beihai can offer tourists a developed infrastructure and a rich cultural program.

Two thousand years ago, Beihai was one of the two Chinese ports of the Maritime Silk Road. A special tourist zone has been dedicated to this episode from the history of the city today.

He Jie, Marketing Director of the Tourist Zone of the first Port of the Maritime Silk Road: "During the New Year holidays, we organized bonfire parties, fireworks, an immersive performance called "The Song of Water and Flame" so that tourists could feel the charm of the Maritime Silk Road in ancient China.

During the week of holidays, the number of visitors to our tourist zone exceeded 180 thousand people."

According to local authorities, Beihai City received 645 thousand tourists during the Chinese New Year celebrations. This was reflected in the loading of hotels in the Silver Beach area.
