- China’s National Day is celebrated on October 1 every year, to commemorate the founding of the People’s Republic of China. This Oct. 1 marks the 71st birthday of the People’s Republic of China. To celebrate this special day, Chinese people have a week-long holiday, also called “golden week”, to reunite with their family and travel. The holiday always lasts from Oct. 1 to Oct. 7.
- The Mid-Autumn Festival, which falls on the 15th day of the 8th month of the Chinese lunar calendar, is a traditional Chinese festival with a custom of family reunion. Chinese people always worship the full moon, and eat mooncakes together with their family.
- This year, the National Day Holiday runs from October 1 (Thursday) to 8 (Thursday), a day longer than usual as it overlaps with the Mid-Autumn Festival which also falls on October 1. September 27 (Sunday) and October 10 (Saturday) are the make-up workdays. Passenger cars with seven, or fewer, seats, and motorcycles will have free pass for toll roads, bridges, and tunnels during this 8-day holiday. The toll-free period will last from 00:00 on October 1, to 24:00 on October 8, 2020.
