A | (ECNS) -- Offshore duty-free sales in south China's Hainan Province totaled 21.6 billion yuan (about $3 billion) in the first seven months of 2026, up 17.9% year on year, according to data released by Haikou Customs on Wednesday. The number of shoppers reached 3.111 million, up 11.9%, and 17.653 million items were purchased, up 6.9%, the data showed. The 27th Hainan Island Carnival was held across the province from July 18 to August 2. During the carnival, major shopping districts, scenic spots and duty-free shops in Hainan rolled out night markets and themed pop-up events, with several concerts by well-known singers held simultaneously. To capitalize on the influx of visitors, several duty-free shops in Sanya launched exclusive benefits during the concert periods, including free shuttle buses, special discounts, fan-exclusive coupons and branded blind box gifts. These initiatives created new consumption scenarios that integrated live experiences with the broader "culture + tourism + duty-free" ecosystem. With the deepening of Hainan's Free Trade Port operations and the continued expansion of international flight routes, a growing number of overseas tourists have joined the shopping boom. The "Sanya-Prague" route is China's first passenger route operating under Seventh Freedom of the Air rights. Since its launch last December, the route has been in stable operation for more than six months. Anna, a traveler from the Czech Republic, purchased a beauty gift set and Chinese tea at the Sanya International Duty Free Shopping Complex. She said it is hard to find such a wide variety of products in the Czech Republic, and the prices are also more affordable than in Europe. "With more students traveling to and from Hainan during the summer break, we have timely added products popular among students, such as cosmetics, luggage and electronics, and launched various promotions to improve their shopping satisfaction," said Zhong Shihua, a sales manager at the Global Premium (Haikou) Duty Free City.

B | ”新加坡国际象棋协会首席执行长吴伟铭每周都会到B1狱所授课，内容包括策略学习、赛事复盘和实战演练。“囚犯非常喜爱这个体育，他们很认真上课，也非常专注练习。他们好几个跟我说，他们从国际象棋里学到每个错误都会有一个结果，所以做什么事情都会三思考虑。“林伟祥表示，许多囚犯对国际象棋表现出浓厚兴趣，并积极申请参与计划，然而，由于人数限制，最多只能容纳约30人。

C | 他说，狱所目前有31名囚犯活跃参与该计划，而计划启动以来，已吸引了58名囚犯参与。前嗜毒者：国际象棋能改善思维和记忆能力因长期使用毒品而入狱的丰（译自Feng）是参与该计划的囚犯之一。他表示，国际象棋改善了他的思维和记忆能力。“我在外面因为长期使用毒品，思维能力会比较欠佳，记忆力也不是很好。国际象棋步伐比较多，需要你的大脑想不同的可能性，所以自从玩国际象棋，我发现到我的思维能力有进步，记忆力也有增强。
