Fantastic holiday moments: China's celebrations enchant tourists!
On October 9, 2025, the celebrations of China's National Day and the Mid-Autumn Festival, which this year coincide with the so-called Golden Week, have borne impressive fruit. After the festivities began on October 1st, commemorating the founding of the People's Republic of China in 1949, the enthusiasm of the people and tourists was unbroken.
Golden Week, which lasts from October 1st to 7th, is used as a time not only for travel but also for family reunions. This tradition attracts millions of people to the country's tourist hotspots every year. This year, the Mid-Autumn Festival was celebrated on October 6, making the occasion even more festive.
Tourist flows and sights
Especially on October 7, 2025, tourists visited various attractions in China and enjoyed the last days of the holiday. Places visited included:

People in Shanghai also gathered for an impressive fireworks display in a park on October 7, further cementing the celebrations along the coast. These celebrations were particularly impressive because this year marked a milestone anniversary.
Practical tips for travelers
During Golden Week, many shops, government offices and restaurants are closed, resulting in an increase in travelers to many popular destinations. Experts recommend avoiding popular excursion destinations and booking accommodation, flights and train journeys well in advance. Public transport in particular is overcrowded at peak times, which is why air travel is often recommended.
It is also important to know that a flag-raising ceremony will take place in Tian'Anmen Square on October 1st. This ceremony, which lasts about 10 minutes, attracts large spectators, with security checks required to gain entry. Recommended attractions in Beijing include the Lama Temple, the Beijing Urban Planning Exhibition and the Great Wall.
The general mood at the celebrations and during the travel season remains cheerful and festive as people enjoy reunions with family and exploring their homeland. This year, this is also attracting more international tourists who want to discover China's cultural diversity.
