Over the course of the event, nearly 200,000 visitors flocked to the venue, driving consumer spending to nearly 10 million yuan ($1.36 million). Even with less than two hours remaining on the final day, visitors were seen flocking to the air-conditioners and car exhibition areas, while long lines continued to form in front of fruit and snack stalls.

One fruit stall manager said that cherries were almost sold out, and despite replenishing sugar tangerines four times, they couldn't keep up with demand. The stall had prepared over 200,000 yuan worth of fruits, with nearly all of it sold.
Meanwhile, the Aeon Mall Jingkai Shopping Center also witnessed a significant increase in both foot traffic and sales over the weekend. The mall saw nearly 300,000 visitors and generated close to 30 million yuan in sales, with a 125.8-percent increase in customer traffic and a 127.89-percent surge in sales compared to the previous weekend.
