    2017Just like in past years, the Golden Week comes with toll-free highways, leading many families to opt for self-driving trips. Currently, rental car inventories are very tight, so whether you're traveling for vacation or going back home to visit relatives and friends, be sure to book your ride as soon as possible.

It's not just the car that needs early booking—your travel destination should be planned in advance too. Ahead of the upcoming holiday, eHi Car Rentals recommends an ancient town: Gongtan Ancient Town. It’s more tranquil than Fenghuang Ancient Town and equally picturesque as Zhangjiajie. Nestled on the eastern bank of the Wu River at the foot of Phoenix Mountain, where the Wu River meets the Apeng River, Gongtan Ancient Town is a historic settlement with...1800Over 1,700 years of history have fostered unique cultural landscapes and ethnic traditions. The town still retains a stone-paved street about three kilometers long,150uniquely styled fire walls,200quaint and serene quadrangle courtyards,50and numerous stilted houses of diverse forms, all showcasing distinctive local characteristics. These form one of China’s best-preserved and most expansive clusters of Ming and Qing dynasty architecture. The cobblestone streets undulate, twist, and turn through serene depths, while the Tujia stilted houses hover impressively above ground, hailed by experts as “notes on the cliffs.” The ancient buildings here resemble artistic sculptures and are considered treasures in the history of architecture. Most importantly, its quiet and classic charm offers a serene and beautiful retreat amid the bustling Golden Week.

A visit here doesn’t require dedicating your entire holiday—3just three days will suffice. You can avoid peak travel times by arriving in Chongqing by plane or train right before National Day, then pick up your rental car directly from an eHi Car Rentals location. We recommend the Hyundai Elantra, available for as low as211yuan per day, to kick off your perfect getaway.
