       Are you sorry for not traveling during the National Day? If you stay at home at that time, I think you
  are very lucky. Why? Because there are too many people everywhere. In many places of interest in
  China, it's too crowded to do anything.
       It was too crowded on the Great Wall on National Day in 2010. You even (甚至) couldn't take
   photos for you or your friends. All what we could see were people. It was reported that there were
  about twenty people per meter on the Great Wall. My friends told me they could see nothing but many
  people on the Great Wall. "We couldn't walk if the people in front of us didn't walk," he said. He

  people.
       So some people give the advice that we should not have the gold week any more. But other people
