People have adopted a new concept of rest and entertainment this May Day holiday, the 20th Golden Week in China. They now have a wide range of options to help them enjoy their week off to the fullest extent, from parties at home to traveling on organized tour.



The first few years after the golden week holidays were introduced in China, most people chose to use their time off to strengthen their relationships by visiting families and friends. This is still a popular way to spend the holiday today. But growing numbers of people are packing their bags and setting off to explore the beautiful scenic spots scattered around the country.



Others are choosing to spend their time at the gym, a sign of the growing health consciousness across China. A number of women have flocked to take yoga classes at fitness clubs over the holidays.



Some literary folk prefer to spend their holidays recharging their batteries through reading. On the first day of the holiday, a book fair in Chongqing municipality in west China attracted 80,000 visitors. The organizers said the fair sold around 1.1 million books.



As well as all the groups mentioned above, there are quite a few homebodies who prefer to stay at home and catch up on TV episodes or much needed sleep.
