Proposal questionable

China Daily | Updated: 2009-03-09 07:40

To restore May Day golden week or not to restore - that is the controversy.

The three public holidays for May Day, National Day and Spring Festival, plus four weekend days, became well known as golden weeks after they were first adopted in 1999 in a bid to promote tourism.

Three-day holidays were cut to one for May Day last year because of the problems caused by overcrowded public transport, following the spike in tourist numbers. It was also because Tomb Sweeping Day in early April, Dragon Boat Festival in June and Mid-Autumn Day in September were also made public holidays. The total number of public holidays has increased by one day.
