On January 2, Mr. Wang, who visited the Haikou CDF International Duty Free Mall on New Year's Day, told the reporter that traffic in the duty-free shop had skyrocketed, and mobile phone stores of all major brands were full of people waiting to buy and then line up to pay. The discount store on the first floor has the most customers. Dozens of people line up at the payment desk, and the cosmetics store on the second floor also has about a dozen people lining up at the checkout counter. A staff member at the CDF Haikou Meilan Airport Duty Free Shop also said that many people lined up for the fragrance category on the afternoon of the 2nd. On January 1, Mr. Jiang went to Haikou Riyue Plaza's Haikou Duty Free Shopping Mall. He told the reporter, “There were long lines at Apple stores, gold stores, and cosmetics stores. At around 6:30 in the evening, it was past the peak period. More than 20 people lined up at the entrance of the gold store.” He said that some luxury brands, such as Gucci and Prada, are also queuing up. “The price is really cheap,” Mr. Jiang said. The Apple iPhone 17 Pro Max phone is sold for 9,999 yuan on the official website, but it only costs 9022 yuan after tax exemptions and subsidies in Hainan.
