China National Holiday Quickly Approaching!

October 1st will celebrate the beginning of the National Day of the People's Republic of China. This holiday is celebrated every year on October 1 and lasts for a week. During this time most businesses and offices are closed. Travelers in China can expect extreme traffic, long lineups and massive crowds at popular sightseeing locations such as Tian An Men Square.

In addition, the Canadian and American China Consulate will also be closed. During this time visa applications will not be accepted.

So if you are thinking of going to China soon, today is the time to finalize your travel arrangements with Chinapac.

Happy National Tourism Day!

Today, China is celebrating its first National Tourism Day to mark the growing importance of tourism in China. I applaud China for recognizing how important it is to appreciate visiting tourists and offering them additional incentives to visit. Unlike some countries, states and provinces, which will slap you with some type of visitation tax upon arrival, China has opted to offer free entry into the country's public museums, memorial halls, patriotic education bases, stadiums and arenas. If only Vancouver had a similar offer, I might be able to see the Canucks live.

Nucks in 4!
