China celebrates National Day

Beijing, Oct. 2 (PTI): Braving steady drizzle and tight security, over one lakh Chinese gathered at Tian'anmen Square here on Monday in central Beijing to watch national flag raising ceremony to mark 58th founding anniversary of the communist nation.

People began to flock into the square, decorated with 400,000 pots of flowers of varied colour, early morning for witnessing the impressive five-star red flag rising ceremony at 6:10 a.m accompanied by the national anthem.

"I feel so proud to witness the country is becoming more and more prosperous after going through so many hardships," 72-year-old Wang Nianshun, who came all the way to Beijing from eastern Shandong Province to witness the flag-raising ceremony.

Security was tight at Tian'anmen Square, where the Chinese army launched a bloody crackdown in June 1989 against pro-democracy activists and students who had staged a violent anti-government movement.

Police could be seen in strength at the world's largest square as authorities did not want any "mass incidents" in the heart of Beijing ahead of the 17th National Congress of the ruling Communist Party of China (CPC) here from October 15.

China's Ministry of Public Security has already asked police to stand alert during the week-long National Day holiday to ensure social stability and people's safety.

More than 150 million people are expected to go on tour during the "Golden Week" holiday that started on Monday. In Beijing, local tourism authorities have predicted that about 1.7 million people will visit the Chinese capital during the period.

About China's National Day

Oct. 1 is China's National Day. It is the anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China in 1949.

There used to be grand parades squares of major cities of the country. Now celebrations usually take the form of parties in amusement parks by day and fire-works and grand TV ensembles during the evening.

Many people will enjoy a week-long vacation since 1999. It is also a good occasion for many people to take a short excursion to enjoy the beauty of the golden Fall.

October 1, National Day of the People's Republic of China

"The People's Central Government of PRC is the only legal government to stand for all people of PRC. Our government is willing to establish diplomatic relationship with any foreign government that agrees to abide by the principles of equality, mutual benefit, mutual respect for territorial integrity..." -Chairman Mao Zedong from the Announcement of the People's Central Government of PRC The PRC's National Day was declared at three o'clock on October 1, 1949, in front of 300,000 people during a ceremony in Tian'anmen Squeare. Chairman Mao declared the founding of the People's Republic and waved the first five-star PRC flag.

In past times, the day was marked by large political gatherings and speeches, military parades, state banquets and the like. Since 2000, as China's economy developed, the national holiday lasts seven days and most workers are given time off to visit relatives and take time for traveling.

Traveling during National Holidays With a week off, many Chinese travel domestically and internationally. Travel fares double and triple and advance bookings must be made weeks, even months ahead for international travel. Hoards of tour groups flock to the major tourist destinations of China, so you can forget having a quite moment to ponder how the Great Wall was built.

If you can avoid it, it's advisable not to travel domestically during the week around October 1st. The latest statistics released publicly are from 2000 but according to these, 59.82 million people traveled during National Day holidays that year. Over two-thirds of all hotel beds were booked in major tourist destinations such as Beijing and Shanghai. However, if you are in China, you'll find the weather is usually very nice, and after October 1, almost everything from shops and restaurants to the post office will be open for business.
