National day is one of china’s most important holidays and is considered one of the country’s two “golden weeks,” the other being China’s lunar new year holiday.

October 2, there was a massive tourist stranded in Jiuzhaigou attraction. Large numbers of tourists were forced to walk more than ten kilometers down to mountain. Decline in service quality, highway congestion, high price of tickets can be seen as a common sight of this holiday, not only in Jiuzhaigou, but for the most attractions. In my opinion, a paid leave system is needed for most Chinese people.

People go on vacation for satisfaction and relaxation, but now,overcrowding, traffic congestion, overloaded tourists and retention, those problems reduced quality of service, which is far away from visitors’ really needs. There is no doubt that centralized and unified leave system and holidays creates a certain favorable conditions for some places and attractions by improving their profits. However, it also brings large number of problems, such as environmental protection. If the government can give the rights of choosing holidays back to people, as the right of free choice on vacation implemented, the dispersion of traveling can change the current situation of concentrated visitors, which can enhancing the overall welling-being.

On the first day of this October in United Sates, Democrats and Republicans could not resolve their differences over Obama care and now the government is shut down.

Shutdown is not cheap, AT ALL. Federal agencies have to plan for a new one, which will cause huge amount of time, energy and resources.  “Research firm IHS estimates that it’s costing the US government about $300m a day, for each day of the shutdown. Overall, the last time the US government shut down in 1995 for 21 days, it cost the federal government $1.5bn (£927m) – that’s $2.1bn (£1.3bn) in today’s dollars” (Kim Gittleson. October 1, 2013 “What’s the economic impact of a US government shutdown?” http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-24341406).

Markets have almost shrugged off the shutdown, with all three indexes rising on Tuesday. In different ways, the shutdown can either be big or small. The stores are still open, people will continue to read newspaper every day, and the military is still there to protect the American. However, the Americans have wait if they want a loan from the government, and if you plan to go any national park in US, you have to wait, because 368 national park service sites closed, and it turned millions of visitors away.
