(b)as china comes down from a travel rush during the combined eight-day holiday for mid-autumn festival and national day of 2012, experts called for a return of the labor day golden week holiday as a way to ease the travel peak. by friday, 79 million passengers were estimated to have used the railways up about 8 percent over last year. waterways had shipped around 2 million, an increase of about 17 percent on last year, cntv. cn, the website of china central television, said on saturday. as large numbers of tourists swarmed scenic spots around china, it caused huge crowds and numerous complaints. the forbidden city in beijing has long been a big draw for travelers. on tuesday alone, the museum reported, it received more than 180, 000 visitors, about six times higher than a regular day. according to china central television, restless visitors demanded their money back from the tourism committee, and police were sent to help deal with the crisis. the beijing-hongkong-macao expressway, the shanghai-kunming expressway and the route from beijing to kunming saw large increases in traffic on saturday, according to cntv. cn. as there is only one long holiday in the country and paid leave is not well carried out by employers, people have limited chances for travel, dai bin, the director of china tourism academy, said in a report by beijing times on saturday. the travel rush during the “golden week” holidays happens because people do not take long journeys during shorter holidays, said liu simin, a researcher with the china academy of social sciences, in a report by beijing times on saturday. liu said that now the most important task is to release the pressure from the huge numbers of tourists. when the labor day golden week holiday was abolished in 2007, a chance to travel was reduced. in 2008, the government shortened the labor day golden week holiday, usually occurring from may 1 to may 7, to three days and added three other short vacations to the list.
