10月1日是我國的國慶節，這是全國的共同節日。這一天是中華人民共和國開始的標志。在那天，全國到處都有很多慶祝活動，上至中央政府到普通老百姓。公共場所，包括大的廣場和公園，都裝飾成節日主題。

In recent years, the national holiday means the golden week as well, which is a short holiday that all people expect to. With the improvement of living standards, people have more money and desire to travel and the golden week is a good chance for them. Besides, for those people who would not go out, it’s a good time to have a good rest as well. Therefore, National Day means a lot to the Chinese.
