As the golden hues of autumn paint China’s landscapes, a palpable excitement sweeps across the nation—all in anticipation of the Chinese National Holiday. Also known as the “Golden Week,” this annual celebration, which runs from October 1st to 7th, is far more than just a week off work or school. It’s a time when millions of Chinese people reconnect with their roots, express national pride, and embrace the simple joys of togetherness.

Beyond the travel, the Chinese National Holiday is also a moment for quiet reflection. For many, it’s a time to appreciate how China has transformed over the decades—from a nation struggling with poverty to a global leader in technology, infrastructure, and culture. You’ll hear conversations about pride in China’s high-speed rail network (the longest in the world), its achievements in space (like the Tiangong space station), or its efforts to protect the environment.

At the same time, it’s a chance to unwind. With no work or school, people take time to read a book, try a new hobby (like calligraphy or tea brewing), or simply nap in the afternoon sun. Coffee shops and parks are filled with people enjoying the slower pace, and many use the week to catch up on sleep after months of busy schedules.

For visitors to China during this time, it’s an unforgettable experience. You’ll see the country at its most vibrant: red flags waving from every street corner, the laughter of families in parks, and the excitement of travelers exploring new places. Even the crowds are a reminder of the holiday’s spirit—people coming together to celebrate, connect, and look forward to the future.

As the Golden Week comes to an end on October 8th, there’s a gentle sadness in the air—goodbyes to family, the return to work, and the end of the autumn adventure. But there’s also hope: the memories made during this week will last until next year, when the leaves turn golden again, and China celebrates another National Day.
In the end, the Chinese National Holiday isn’t just about a week off. It’s about love—for country, for family, and for the moments that make life meaningful.
