Chinese hit band TFBoys held their 10th-anniversary concert in Xi'an of Shaanxi province on Sunday, helping to fuel the market in the popular tourist destination.

The revenue from the concert ticket sales was 35.76 million yuan ($4.97 billion), according to the Xi'an Release.

The number of online bookings for accommodation saw a surge growth of 738 percent from a year earlier during Aug 6 to 7. The concert drove 416 million yuan of tourist revenue to local businesses and communities said the official releasing platform.
