The People's Republic of China (PRC) observes its anniversary on October 1st. 2018 marks the 69th anniversary of the founding of PRC.

In China, the legal holiday for National Day is 3 days. However, the 3 days are usually connected with the weekends ahead and after, hence people can enjoy a 7-day holiday from Oct. 1st to 7th, which is the so-called 'Golden Week'.

Falling in autumn season with clear weather and comfortable temperatures, Chinese National Day holiday is a golden time for travel. It is the longest public holiday in China besides the Chinese New Year, during which a large number of Chinese people go traveling around the country.
