Consumers, many of them young mothers born in the 1980s and 1990s, traveled locally or to nearby regions to celebrate the occasion. Over the weekend, women accounted for nearly 60 percent of consumers who traveled, according to Tuniu, an online travel agency based in Nanjing, Jiangsu province.

上周末出游的许多消费者都是上世纪80年代和90年代出生的年轻妈妈，她们选择本地游、周边游的方式来庆祝母亲节。本部在江苏南京的在线旅游服务平台途牛网称，上周末出游的消费者中，女性占了近60%。

"Young mothers made self-driving trips to theme parks, zoos, botanical gardens and beaches along with their children. Beijing WTown, Universal Beijing Resort and Shanghai Disneyland were among popular choices for local consumers," said Qi Chunguang, vice-president of Tuniu.

Over the weekend, the Maldives, Thailand, New Zealand, Indonesia and Singapore were among preferred outbound destinations for Chinese mainland travelers, according to Tuniu.

随着国际航班的逐步复苏和许多海外旅游地机票价格的下降，一些中老年消费者也在这段时间选择出国游。途牛数据显示，上周末马尔代夫、泰国、新西兰、印尼和新加坡成为最受中国大陆游客欢迎的出境目的地。

Meanwhile, the online retail market benefited as people bought gifts — from flowers, clothes and cosmetics to home appliance and gold jewelry — for their mothers on multiple e-commerce platforms. Flowers such as carnations and Chinese peonies were in high demand, according to data from online retailer Vipshop.

与此同时，线上零售市场也因母亲节而受益，人们在多个电商平台为母亲购买礼物，从鲜花、衣服、化妆品到家电和金饰。在线零售平台唯品会的数据显示，康乃馨、牡丹等鲜花的需求量很大。

According to Vipshop, health product sales recorded a nearly tenfold surge year-on-year during the two weeks leading to Mother"s Day, as consumers paid more attention to keeping healthy in post-pandemic times.
