Shares of liquor makers and banks led the gains. Kweichow Moutai, the leading liquor brand in China, rose 3.4 percent to 742.4 yuan. China Merchants Bank climbed 2.5 percent to 30.82 yuan.

Stocks related to Foxconn surged after the tech giant published its prospectus, revealing its plan to issue 1.97 billion shares in the initial public offering (IPO) in the A-share market.
