Guangzhou is going to issue two kinds of coupons via WeChat lately, including subsidies for automobile consumption and vouchers for both culture and tourist spending.

At the beginning of this month, Guangzhou launched a consumption stimulus campaign across the city , offering hefty discounts to get people back into the habit of spending both on and offline.

There are now no areas categorised as high risk anywhere in Guangzhou, with all districts having been graded low risk.

By constantly cleaning, disinfecting and ventilating, temperature checking, upgrading epidemic prevention equipment and customer flow control, shopping malls and individual stores are taking real action to create a safe and comfortable environment for people to shop and work. You can go out and shop without worrying about your safety, just remember to wear a mask and keep practicing social distancing.

The two-month campaign includes an online shopping festival, a home appliances shopping season, subsidies for part-exchanging old cars for new, the promotion of high-quality made-in-Guangzhou goods and tours to discover Guangzhou’s delicacies.

More than 4,000 shopping malls, supermarkets and catering companies are actively participating in the campaign and will organize more than 350 activities, including Tee Mall, TaiKoo Hui, Guangzhou Book Center and stores of LN Group.

For instance, Grandview Mall offers 30% discount group-purchase vouchers to its full members, 199RMB worth of gifts for every new membership, and all customers can participate in a lottery to win mobile phones and free meals during the campaign. Discounts up to 50% are available at Grandbuy, Guangzhou Friendship and Xindaxin department stores. A number of malls, such as the Mall of the World and K11, are waiving parking fees when you rack up a shopping bill over a certain amount.
