The Golden Week

There are three "Golden Weeks" in China:

- The spring festival (chinese lunar new year)
- The labour "day" (it lasts 7 days!!!)
- The national "day" (also a week)

Why am I talking about this? Because I didn't know it existed before I arrived in Hong Kong and it fascinates me. The Golden Weeks are three dictated holidays. They are paid and it his to be 7 continious days. Now as if it wasn't amazing enough to imnpose a holliday it concerns ALL the Chinese at the same time! So if you want to travel avoid those 3 weeks (January or Fabruary / May 1st and October 1st)! We actually had to advance our 3 week journey! Why did you think we were flying back on September 30th?!


It is too late now and we tomorrow morning we are leaving quite early for Kunming, but next time I'll tell you all about Hong Kong!
