People in China began the longest holiday of the year on October 1st, 2017. This is because this year’s Mid-Autumn Festival falls on October 4th. As such, the so-called “Golden Week”, the National Day Holiday, lasts for eight days this year.
Due to the longer holiday, traffic jam has become common along most parts of the national highway system. Drivers in the southern province of Guangdong have been reporting 10-hour delays on the highways connecting Guangzhou and Shenzhen.
So, how are people killing time on the road? Drivers and passengers have been coming up with special ways to beat the boredom. Group dancing is a fashionable way. Walking the dog during the hours stuck on the road is a must. Kicking around a shuttlecock(毽子) has become a good way to kill time. Playing card games is an efficient way to kill time during heavy traffic too.
