The National Day(1 Oct.) is the start of another Golden Weeks.
It is celebrated throughout mainland China, Hong Kong, and Macau with a variety of government-organised festivities, including fireworks and concerts. Public places, such as Tiananmen Square in Beijing, are decorated in a festive theme. Portraits of revered leaders, such as Sun Yat-Sen, are publicly displayed.
When the anniversary is a multiple of five (e.g. the 50th, 55th, or 60th), large scale official celebrations are held, including an inspection of troops on Tiananmen Square. More notable of these events included Deng Xiaoping's inspection in 1984 and Jiang Zemin's inspection in 1999.
The Spring festival is the start of the third Golden Weeks.
