As the National Day Holiday, also known as "the Golden Week", is approaching, debates over whether to split the week long holiday into smaller ones has once again aroused heated discussion across the country.

Some experts suggest canceling the Golden Week and allocating the 7 days to more traditional festivals, in a bid to ease traffic jams and tourist congestion.(Www.hxen.com)

But this suggestion has been wildly opposed on the internet.

The China Youth Daily carries an article, analyzing the reasons behind people's dissatisfaction.

The article says that as the previous week long May Day holiday was divided, the public has already postponed their vacation plans until the longer Golden Week.

Also no clear regulations to guarantee paid vacations is another factor contributing to the public's expectations of a national week long holiday.

The author says that although shortening the Golden Week holiday can ease some pressures, the public can not fully enjoy a high-quality vacation in just 3 or 4 days - it's either too long for them to rest at home, or too short to take a trip.

The author concludes that what concerns the public most is not whether to split the holiday, but how can they fully enjoy it. So the crucial point, the paper says, is to establish proper regulations which can ensure that the public have their paid vacation.
