Autumn colors lure holidaymakers
Jiuzhaigou in Southwest China's Sichuan Province is set to be the hottest domestic tourist destination in the coming Golden Week Holiday between October 1 and 7, a survey has said.
And Southeast Asia has retained its allure as the most popular region for Chinese looking to spend the holiday abroad.
More than 60 percent of the 4,000 people surveyed by ctrip.com, an online travel service, said they plan to spend 3,000 to 10,000 yuan ($400-$1,300) on travel during the coming holiday.
"Chengdu-Jiuzhaigou is the bestselling route because Jiuzhaigou is most beautiful during the autumn season," Tang Yibo, a senior manager with Ctrip, said.
Jiuzhaigou has attracted a lot of attention in recent years because of the vibrant colors of the changing leaves on the trees and its many lakes, Tang said.
Following Jiuzhaigou on the list this year are Beijing, Chengde - which are both appreciated for their fall scenery - Lijiang and Sanya.
The Ministry of Railways has forecast 45.5 million people will travel by train between September 28 and October 7.
