China's Experience Economy Becomes a Consumer Trend: From Buying Products to Buying Life
Time:2026-05-08 11:16

During the "May Day" holiday, the experience economy quietly warmed up the consumer market. Some people flocked to cultural and creative workshops to design and customize their own exclusive "doll outfits," finding solace and healing through hands-on creation. Others immersed themselves in live-action theaters, instantly traveling back in time to the ancient Silk Road ports, touching history through interactive performances. Still others escaped the hustle and bustle of the city and headed to rural fields, embracing leisurely moments through agricultural activities.

Today, consumer demand continues to upgrade. People are no longer satisfied with merely owning products; they increasingly value a sense of participation and are more willing to pay for a period of time, an experience, or a memory. Diverse experience-based venues are springing up everywhere, activating new vitality in the consumer market through personalized, warm, and highly interactive models, painting a brand-new picture of consumption upgrading.
