Chinanews, Beijing, October 18 – After the 7-day National Day holiday, the Search Lab released1 a report on the vacationing of Chinese during the National Day and the Mid-Autumn Festival. The report is based on the data from Baidu.
The Mid-Autumn festival stands for family reunion in traditional Chinese culture, when Chinese usually share moon cakes and appreciate the beautiful full-moon with their family members. However, this year, quite a large number of Chinese people chose to send their greetings via2 text messages instead of having family reunion.
Interestingly, according3 to the search engine of Baidu, the key word “present” is usually followed by “for officials” (46.95%) and “for parents-in-law” (30.52). Only 7.51% of Chinese netizens have searched for “present for parents” and another 4.69 have searched for “presents for teachers”. The report says that most people have a very good relationship with their parents, thus they don’t have to pay special attention to its improvement4, while they must work hard to please their superiors5 and parents-in-law.
More and more Chinese spend their 7-day holiday on shopping or travels nowadays. Beijing, Shanghai, Hangzhou, Wuhan and Xi’an were the most popular destinations in the previous National Day holiday. Chengdu was not very popular, although it has Jiuzhaigou, one of the most famous scenic6 spots in China.
