Why was the May Day Golden Week canceled?

The May Day Golden Week holidays are canceled because the holiday schedule is too concentrated.

Nine of the 10 statutory holidays are concentrated during the Spring Festival, May Day and National Day, which results in a large number of people moving, traffic congestion, and increased travel safety risks. The National Statutory Holiday Adjustment Research Group pointed out that tourist attractions are overcrowded during holidays and vandalism occurs from time to time; consumption is too concentrated during long holidays, which brings great difficulties to the arrangement of business activities of tourism and related enterprises.

So in 2008, the "May Day" Golden Week was canceled and changed to one day. Although the May Day Golden Week has been cancelled, the new holiday arrangement "allows weekends to be moved up and down to form consecutive holidays with legal holidays." In other words, a one-day holiday plus a weekend double break can form a three-day "small holiday". Long vacation". Although the 7-day May Day holiday will be cancelled, people can enjoy five 3-day long holidays of Qingming, Mid-Autumn Festival, Dragon Boat Festival, May Day and New Year's Day.
