Golden Week 黃金周 (huang jin zhou)

"Golden Week" refers to the two weeklong holidays, one during Spring Festival, the other for the National Day from Oct 1 to Oct 7. This year, the Golden Week has grabbed the headlines for all the wrong reasons, with many people recounting their frustrating travel experiences.

Although people returned to work this week, many of them are still talking about the massive traffic jams, "uncivilized" behaviors of fellow tourists, inflated prices, and the damage to scenic spots and the environment.
