ChinaToday: Traveling

FRIDAY, OCTOBER 01, 2021

Dubbed the "Golden Week" for tourism and consumption boom, the seven-day National Day holiday is expected to see more travels in China.

According to China's railway operator, some 127 million rail passenger trips are expected to be made over China's National Day holiday, and Oct. 1, the first day of the holiday, is expected to see the highest passenger volume.

Meanwhile, anti-epidemic measures are highly-suggested to guard against both imported and locally transmitted cases in order to prevent a COVID-19 resurgence during the holiday.
