"假期熱門景點擠滿遊客"

紫禁城湧入近20萬旅客。

中國的主要旅遊景點在最近的國慶假期間擠滿了遊客。觀察者提出，問題來自於假期延長，和一般的高速公路收費站暫停收費。數百萬人橫越國內旅遊，使道路車輛數目估計增加13%，也使許多熱門重要景點感受到這股緊繃情勢。

北京紫禁城是最多人到訪的景點之一，單單十月二號一天，就湧進18萬名遊客，人潮比平時假期間多了六倍。因此，入內參觀的遊客對這次經驗並不開心。一位遊客表示：「我們除了萬頭攢動外，甚麼也沒看到。原本希望11歲的兒子可以從旅程中學點東西，但最後只落得筋疲力盡。」

在山西省的華山上，纜車系統負載過量，使得許多民眾被卡在山頂一直到夜幕低垂。同樣的事件在中國各地不斷被報導，官員也呼籲政府調整假期規畫的制度，以確保事件不再重演。
