The National Day of the People's Republic of China (China)
Founded on 1 October 1949 with a ceremony at Tian'anmen Square, the People's Republic of China (PRC) observes its anniversary on 1 October every year. In China, the holiday is officially three days, but the holidays are usually extended by bridge holidays compensated by working on weekends depending how the holiday falls in the week. This creates a so-called 'Golden Week' of holidays. This makes it the second largest holiday period in China. This approach was introduced in 2000 to help boost domestic tourism and to allow families to make long journeys to visit relatives.
