Organized annually by the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security, the "Hundred Days, Ten Million Jobs" initiative is a large-scale national initiative designed to connect key job-seeking groups with employers around the country.

This year's campaign kicked off on July 1 and will run through Oct 10.

Tourists enjoy desert fun in Kashgar during National Day holiday

Crowds of tourists came to the ancient city of Kashgar in northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region to experience the desert fun and enjoy the magnificent desert scenery during the week-long National Day holiday, which started on Thursday this year.

At the Maigaiti National Desert Park, on the southwestern edge of the Taklamakan Desert, the park receives an average of 6,000 visitors per day during the National Day holiday.

Tourists can experience desert off-road vehicles racing between the dunes, surging up the peaks and plunging down, delivering a thrilling sensation.

Visitors can also stroll slowly across the sea of sand on camelback. In addition, the most common way to enjoy the park is to grab a sandboard and slide down the slopes.

Visitors can also enjoy performances of a national-level intangible cultural heritage and watch local painters using their brushes and bold blocks of color to depict the desert landscape.
