vacation

The yearly longest hodidays are almost ended.

In my opinion,almost more than 80% people traveled with high-speed railway, so let's say something about it in vaction.

 

The newly opended Beijing-Shanghai high-speed railway is expected to bring a flood of travelers into cities along its route during the National Day holiday, according to Chinese travel agencies.

 

Travelers in China are expected to make nearly 300 million trips during the National Day holiday,which is Oct 1-7. That number is up 20 percent from last year,according to the Ministry of Public Security.

 

The Beijing-Shanghai high-speed railway goes throngh three municipalities and four provinces and has 24 stations.On Sept 24,58 cities near the railway formed a league to promote tourism in the region.

 

The high-speed trains,though still popular,lost some of their luster in the eyes of travelers after a crash in Zhejiang province in July, which killed 40 people.

 

The National Day holiday is one of two Golden Weeks in China, when millions of people travel throughout the country .Spring Festival,or the traditional Chinese New Year,is the other. About 145 billion yuan is expected be spent during the weeklong National Day holiday,which is 25 percent more than last year,according to the China Tourism Academy.
