The Chinese National Day begins October 1st, officially lasting three days, but people tag two more weekends for a grand total of 7 days – the Golden Week.
It is the longest public holiday in China besides the Spring Festival holiday.
With that in mind, many online businesses in China close for the holiday, including 4.CN – the China-based domain auction house clearly states that:
4.CN holiday for the National Day
Dear Customer,
Thank you very much for your business with 4.CN.
4.CN has a holiday from Oct 1 to Oct 7, 2014 for the National Day. We will be back on Oct 8, 2014.
Happy National Day to the Chinese, who most likely won’t be deterred from emailing you about your numeric domains, regardless.
