BEIJING: China's tourism and consumption have been firing on all cylinders during the just-ended May Day holiday, showing the country's extraordinary economic resilience.

From the latest tourist hot spot Zibo, a low-profile industrial city in east China's Shandong province now famous for its iconic barbecues, to a camel-riding traffic jam at a desert spot in the northwestern Chinese city of Dunhuang, resorts across the country were swamped with millions of Chinese tourists during the five-day holiday.
