Traditionally Golden Week, which is celebrated in China from October 1 to 7, is considered one of the biggest public holidays in the country. During this period, Chinese people have days off and can spend time on vacations, travel, and outings.
This year, Golden Week coincides with National Day on October 1, which marks the anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China. Many people during these holidays prefer to visit tourist attractions, spend time in nature, embark on journeys across the country, or even abroad.
Central cities and tourist spots become especially popular during this time of year. The flow of travelers increases at train stations, airports, and bus terminals. According to information from tourism companies, many tours were booked in advance, and some popular directions were completely sold out.
For many Chinese, Golden Week has become an opportunity to spend time with family, stepping away from their daily routines and enjoying travel or relaxation. However, for some, the increased flow of tourists and complexities with booked accommodations and transport can be a challenge.
"Golden Week is the time when we can relax and forget about work. Despite some complexities with bookings, I am glad that I can spend this vacation with family," shared an experience from one of the vacationers.
