October 8 is always one of the hardest day of the year.
Somebody are even driving on the expressway in the early morning and directly going to work.

Wish all the best to travelling back-to-work, folks. Maybe those who do not need an immediate return but can postpone it for a few days should abstain from being on the roads as much as possible these days. This will relieve the pressure on the public infrastructure.

Travel rash as a phenomenon may be ending up for government will launch new policy of vacation without losing salary.

Remind me the horrible Tianjin blast.

China's National Day holiday traffic rush draws to close - China - Chinadaily.com.cn
BEIJING - Chinese people made more trips during the National Day holiday, also known as the "Golden Week," which concluded on Wednesday.

During the first six days of October, railway trips reached 62.79 million nationwide and railway ticket revenue totaled 3.54 billion yuan (556.49 million US dollars), up 8.8 percent and 18.5 percent year on year respectively, said the China National Tourism Administration (CNTA).

A total of 7.63 million trips were made by plane in the past six days, up 10 percent year on year, according to the CNTA.

Ticket receipts at major attractions stood at 1.59 billion yuan during the seven days, said the CNTA, which collected data from 125 tourist sites across the country. These tourist attractions received 29.62 million visitors.

The National Day holiday from Oct 1 to 7 has become an annual tourism event for Chinese people, who are increasingly well-off and willing to spend more on leisure and entertainment.

Self-driving travel, rural tourism and culture-oriented travel have become more popular.
