Japan is the top choice of Chinese travelers planning an overseas trip during the upcoming May Day holiday, according to an online survey by Ctrip, a travel service provider.
Followed by Japan are Maldives and Thailand, which are likely to see a flood of Chinese visitors. The three-day May Day break is much more favorable with Chinese tourists than this month's Tomb Sweeping Festival due to warmer weather.
Around 60 percent of those surveyed said they would take extra days off to make longer vacations.
Travelers can make a 10-day break, including the following weekend, by taking five days off after the holiday. Another plan is to take four days off before the holiday to make a nine-day break.
The top three domestic destinations are Fujian province's Xiamen, Yunnan province's Lijiang and Sichuan province's Chengdu.
