Expat Community Picks: How Foreigners Celebrate Golden Week

16

Golden Week isn’t just a local holiday — it’s also a special time for foreigners living in China. From exploring new cities to enjoying cultural festivals, expats find unique ways to make the most of the 7-day break. Here are some community picks and ideas from fellow foreigners:

🎆 Joining Local Celebrations

Many expats love to take part in fireworks shows, parades, and lantern festivals. It’s a chance to experience Chinese culture up close and join the energy of the crowds.

🌄 Traveling & Sightseeing

Some choose to spend Golden Week traveling — whether that’s a Great Wall hike, a West Lake boat ride in Hangzhou, or exploring smaller towns to avoid the big city rush.

🍲 Food Adventures

Golden Week is also about food! Expats often gather in groups to try street snacks, hotpot, or special holiday menus at restaurants across the country.

🎤 Social & Community Events

From expat bar nights in Shanghai to family-friendly community picnics in Guangzhou, many groups organize events where foreigners can connect and celebrate together.

🛋️ Relaxing at Home

Not everyone wants to travel during the busiest week of the year. Some foreigners prefer to stay in, relax, and recharge — maybe with a good book, movie nights, or cooking with friends.


Final Thoughts

Golden Week is different for everyone. Some go out, some stay in, but all find ways to make it meaningful. No matter how you celebrate, it’s a chance to pause, enjoy, and share moments with others.
