Jinan's 30 monitored scenic areas received 794,100 visitors and took in 23.5316 million yuan in revenue as of 14:00 on 3 October, the third day of the 2026 National Day holiday, according to the city's 济南发布 channel as carried by the business outlets CLS, Yicai and Jiemian. The city said the tourism market had continued several days of strong activity, that visitor enthusiasm remained high and that the market was operating safely and in an orderly way. [ 1 , 2 , 3 ]
The same release, cited by Yicai and Jiemian, said Jinan received 187,900 certified overnight visitors on the day, while 195,000 passengers departed by rail, 32,100 by civil aviation and 10,200 by road. Core scenic areas kept visitor flows high, with family trips, parent-child travel and long-distance cross-provincial trips named as the main components, and the city said bookings for night tours, suburban leisure and cultural experiences continued to rise.

More than 300 themed activities under a “Golden Autumn Culture and Tourism Carnival” were rolled out across the city, according to the reports. CLS carried the visitor and revenue figures but not the overnight-stay and transport numbers that appeared in the other two outlets; all three reports otherwise reproduce the same city text.

Why it matters
The numbers are a same-day reading of holiday tourism in one Chinese city, drawn from a single government release, and offer a small gauge of holiday travel and consumption activity. Because the documents give no year-earlier comparison, no total for the city beyond the 30 monitored sites and no national data, they do not by themselves establish a citywide or countrywide trend.

- Why document 1 carries the visitor and revenue figures but not the overnight and transport numbers The overnight and transport figures appear only in two of the three reports, so it is unclear whether the release was updated or the reports were edited differently
- How the 30 monitored scenic areas relate to total visitor numbers in Jinan The documents describe the 30 sites as monitored but give no citywide aggregate, no per-site breakdown and no share of the total
