The Golden Week (黄金周), in the People's Republic of China, is the name given to a semi-annual 7-day national holiday, implemented in 2000:[1]
The "National Day Golden Week" begins around 1 October.
Three days of paid holiday are given, and the surrounding weekends are re-arranged so that workers in Chinese companies always have seven continuous days of holiday. These national holidays were first started by the government for the PRC's National Day in 1999 and are primarily intended to help expand the domestic tourism market and improve the national standard of living, as well as allowing people to make long-distance family visits. The Golden Weeks are consequently periods of greatly heightened travel activity.
