National Holiday















The "National Holiday" week is one of the two times Chinese people get off work. Another such holiday happens in May. Most people do not have other vacation or holidays. So this week, China abounds in flag waving, and traditional ceremonies and special sales. Tourist spots and restaurants are extremely crowded.
