The May Day holiday gives Chinese families a good chance to travel and leave behind the daily routine(日常琐事).

  When the seven-day vacation was first put in place in 2000, groups of Chinese tourists went to the mountains “to see temples and get off buses to take photos”. However, as Chinese travellers diversified(使多样化) their interests, more and more people decided to travel on their own.

  Millions of families with their own cars prefer to travel by car.

  Cui Xiaotang, a career(职业) woman, and her two friends left from Beijing Saturday in a car. They did not have a firm destination but drove southwards. “Maybe when there is no road for cars, we will stop and stay one night in a local farmer’s house,” Cui said excitedly about her plan.

  Exchanges between north and south and between cities and rural areas are two trends emerging(出现) during the holiday.

  Northerners can enjoy the beauty of southern rivers, while southerners can travel to cooler parts of the country.

  While millions of travellers made their way to Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou, people there decided to go somewhere else.

  A large number of tourists join groups with plans to travel abroad. Every year, those groups go farther and farther away. There are also those, however, who choose to stay where they are.

  Sun Bin, a graduate student representing a large number of “stayers”, chose the simplest way to avoid tourist crowds during the holiday. “I’d rather stay in the Beijing Library for the seven days to read National Geographic magazine. I have the whole world in my mind but avoid queuing up in the airport,” he said.
