National Day Holiday Leave Strategy: Top 10 Domestic and International Travel Recommendations

By MOOK Scenic Spots Editorial Team

Double Ten National Day is one of the most anticipated holidays of the year for locals. This year’s National Day holiday spans four days, including flexible leave on Monday, from October 7 to October 10. However, four days may not be enough for those planning to travel abroad, and as October 4 also marks the Mid-Autumn Festival, travelers can apply for leave on the 5th and 6th to enjoy a total of seven consecutive days off; alternatively, taking leave on the 11th, 12th, and 13th as well would result in a 12-day break.

Many travelers plan to go abroad during the National Day holiday, with Japan being the most popular destination. However, flights and hotel rooms in peak periods and popular countries are in high demand, so domestic travel is also worth considering. Below are ten recommended domestic and international travel destinations that can serve as references for holiday planning.
 
Domestic:
Yilan, Hualien, Taitung, Nantou, Little Liuqiu
 
International:
Tokyo, Kyushu, Hokkaido, South Korea, Thailand

For domestic travel, the East Rift Valley and Qingjing in Nantou are the most popular, offering not only stunning scenery but also cool weather, making the four-day National Day holiday ample time. Internationally, Tokyo, Hokkaido, Kyushu, and Okinawa receive the most inquiries, with Halloween and autumn foliage viewing being especially popular.
