NATIONAL DAY OF THE PEOPLE'S REPUBLIC OF CHINA

Please be informed that our office in Beijing will be closed from October 1st to 7th for the Chinese National Holiday. 

October 1st is the anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China in 1949, and is celebrated as the National Day all over China. 

On this day back in 1949, the People's Republic of China was founded with a ceremony in Tian'anmen square in Beijing. 

For this holiday, Chinese people enjoy a seven-day vacation; for this reason it is regarded as another Golden Week (together with the Chinese Lunar New Year). During Golden Weeks, most people go out and hotel rooms, train tickets or air tickets will be in great demand then.
