A new shopping festival was launched on Oct 16 in the Nanming district of Guiyang -- capital city of Southwest China's Guizhou province -- and the district will also be issuing 1 million yuan ($149,600) in coupons and vouchers to promote spending by consumers.

In addition to issuing vouchers, the district will also work with the "Xingli Legou" shopping platform of the Xingli Group within its jurisdiction.

The district will open a special channel to sell products transferred from exports to domestic sales, so as to actively help foreign trade enterprises expand the domestic market while benefiting residents.

After the launch of the activity, the district plans to issue the shopping coupons and sell products both online and offline.

According to local media reports, the event will last until end-December and the coupons are planned to be issued on Oct 16, Nov 11 and Dec 12, respectively, with their expiry date on Dec 31.
