Historical background

1999 the State Council promulgated new national statutory holidays and anniversaries, and decided to merge the rest time of Spring Festival, May Day and Eleventh with the weekends before and after to form a seven-day long holiday.

In June, 2000, the General Office of the State Council forwarded "Several Opinions on Further Developing Holiday Tourism" from the National Tourism Administration and other nine ministries, and formally established the Golden Week holiday system.

In 2006, the report "2005: Macroeconomic Trends under Double Steady Policies" issued by the National Development and Reform Commission formally proposed to cancel the Golden Week on May 1 and1.

In 2006, the competent department set up a holiday adjustment research group to comprehensively study the evolution and present situation of China's holiday system and vacation system. The National Development and Reform Commission has held six symposiums to listen to the opinions of all parties.

In 2006, the Tsinghua University holiday system reform research group headed by Cai Jiming thought that the Golden Week system should be abolished. During the two sessions in 2007, Cai Jiming once again suggested canceling the "May Day" and "Eleventh" Golden Week.

From June 9th to1October 9th, 2007, the National Development and Reform Commission conducted an online questionnaire survey on the draft adjustment plan for statutory holidays. The plan cancelled the May Day Golden Week.

From June, 5438 to February, 2007, the State Council's "Decision on Amending (National Festival and Memorial Day)" defined the holiday plan implemented in China from 2008.
