Are you sorry for not traveling(旅游) during the National Day(国庆节)? If you stay at home at that time, I think you are very lucky. Why? Because there are too many people everywhere. In many places of interest in China, it's too crowded to do anything.
Look at the picture. It was too crowded in the West Lake on October 1st, 2016. You even couldn't take photos for you or your friends. All that we could see were people. It was reported that there were about 13 people per meter by the lake. My friends told me they could see nothing but many tourists(游客) on the Broken Bridge(断桥). "We couldn't walk if the people in front of us didn't walk," he said. He showed us a photo near the West Lake. In the photo, we hardly found him out, for there were too many people.
So some people give the advice that we should not have the gold week(黄金周) anymore. But other people say no about this advice. What's your idea of it? Are you sorry now for not traveling during the gold week? I love staying at home more than traveling next National Day.
