China’s National Day is celebrated on October 1 as the start of a public holiday every year. It is a major Chinese holiday. Here are something we need to know about National Day holiday.
China’s National Day holiday is called “Golden Week”, because this is the biggest week for tourism in the country. Throughout this time, individuals enjoy a one-week holiday to spend time with their families and take trips within China and to surrounding countries. Moreover, with the weather being clear and temperatures comfortably pleasant, many consider this period a golden time for traveling.
National Day holiday is also one of the busiest weeks for tourism in China. During National Day holiday, every tourist attraction is at full capacity almost everywhere. All cities and scenic spots are packed, and transportation gets quite busy and crowded. During this time, many Chinese tourists travel to coastal areas and famous large cities, such as Hong Kong, Sanya, Beijing, and Shanghai. Unsurprisingly, train tickets to these cities tend to sell out fast. Popular tourist destinations sometimes become so packed with tourists that it is hard to savor the vistas. Thus, it is best to avoid visiting China’s most popular travel destinations during this period.
Keep in mind the following tips to ensure an enjoyable trip in China during National Day holiday:
▲ If possible, avoid traveling on the first day and the last day of the holiday. Instead, plan your trip on other days in between when there are fewer tourists and costs are comparatively lower.
▲ Avoid visiting popular destinations as these are always crowded with visitors. Instead, choose tourist attractions that are not so famous so that you can enjoy the scenery at a more leisurely pace.
▲ Book flights/train tickets and accommodations in advance. You can enjoy huge discounts on flight tickets if you book early.
