The October 1st is China's National Day which is to commemorate the founding of People’s Republic of China in 1949. This year marks the 70th Anniversary of the People’s Republic of China.

National Day holiday is fixed at October 1–7 with adjacent weekend days being mandatory workdays to make up for lost time. This period is also called ‘golden week’ because of the biggest week for tourism in China, when people have a week off to reunite with families and take trips. In 2019, the holiday dates are Oct. 1st to 7th 2019, while people will be on duty on September 29th (Sunday) and October 12th (Saturday).

There will be a variety of grand ceremonies and activities in China during National Day, such as a great ceremonial review of troops and lighting fireworks in the evening. On the Tiananmen Square in Beijing, altogether 14 military reviews have been held on October 1st since 1949. Other activities like flag-raising ceremonies, dance and song shows, firework displays and painting and calligraphy exhibitions are also held to celebrate the National Day.
