1. How many public holidays do you have in china?

There are about 20 days in total during the year which are public holidays in China. The longest days are the Spring Festival and the National Day, both of which are 7 days. People enjoy the relaxation time and often like to travel during these two festivals. However, as there are so many people in China, each scenic spot is crowded with people during the long holiday, which is really terrible. So sometimes it is nice just to stay at home and relax there.

2. Do you think people need more public holidays?

Yes, of course. I think public holidays are very important for personal wellbeing and also the wellbeing of society as a whole. It is nice to all come together and have a break at the same time as there is always a strong sense of community and celebration during a public holiday. Also, modem life can be very stressful, so it is important that people have proper breaks that they can look forward to.

3. How do you usually spend your holidays?
I usually spend my holidays by going out into the countryside and enjoying an activity that I cannot access in the city. Sometimes I will go with my friends and we will find some beautiful countryside to walk through and perhaps a mountain to hike up. Other times, we may go to a lake to fish in or perhaps do some swimming if it is warm enough. I think this is a nice way to spend your holidays when you live in the city.

4.Which holiday is your favourite?

My favourite public holiday in China is definitely the Spring Festival holiday. Firstly, it is my favourite because it is the longest. The Spring Festival is a week long which gives my family and I a lot of time to relax or engage in recreations. Furthermore, during the spring festival adults give us undergraduate children money to encourage us to work hard in our studies, this is a lovely gift and always makes the holiday feel more special.
