It is reported that China has discussed to make some traditional festivals legal holidays and shorten the golden week holidays. A draft on the new legal holiday arrangement has been formed and will be released very soon. After that, people's opinions will be sought on the internet. According to the draft, the legal holiday(originally three days) during the May Day holiday will be shortened to one day. Usually, it has three-day legal holiday plus four days (two Sataurdays and two Sundays). The golden week during National holiday wil be kept with no change. The golden week holiday during the Spring Festival will be advanced one day( from New Year's Eve to January 6th on Lunar calendar). Tomb-Sweeping Day, Dragon Boat Festival and the Mid-Autumn Festival will be made legal holidays. On that day, you can have a rest. What do you think of this draft?

What's more, National Holiday Golden week will be challenged. More and more people will spend their holiday during the golden week. In this regard, it is no good.
