A somewhat biased view on China…
Is the nightmare of the Golden Weeks in term of vacation, traffic, etc. going to finally end? It seems so with after what was said by the Dean of Beijing International Studies University’s tourism administration department, ZHANG Hui, said at a forum in Xiamen, Fujian Province.
The weeklong May Day holiday could be shortened to one day and the National Day holiday to two days. To make up for the lost holidays, the experts suggested declaring traditional festivals such as Mid-Autumn Day, Lantern Festival, and the Tomb Sweeping Day as national holidays.
What do you think about this new resolution? Would it help? When and where would you then take your vacations then?
I’m expecting to see foreign expatriate travelling more and more in China. Nowadays, lots of them complain about the traffic (roads, trains, planes) inside of China during the Golden Weeks. No more Golden Weeks would spread the vacations of people throughout the year, reducing the huge number of tourists at some places.
