As millions of Chinese are enjoying outings in the Labor Day holiday, some are indulging themselves with books, either on their trips to far-flung destinations, or inside cities.

In the five-day holiday that started on Saturday, 19 trains provide passengers with books, allowing them to have additional options for their on-trip leisure time.

"The entire train journey from Beijing to Yuyao North lasts more than six hours. These picture books create many pleasure for kids," said Wen Tingting, a passenger.

A series of reading activities have been carried out across China during the holiday.

Reading traditional classics and sharing activities, that have been conducted in eastern Chinese cities of Shaoxing and Nanchang, have injected new life to the traditional fine Chinese culture.

"In our 5,000-year-long history and culture, every word is full of charm. So we should develop a habit of reading and read more good books," said Dai Yong, a reader from Nanchang, capital of east China's Jiangxi Province.
There are reading activities especially held for kids and teenagers.

In Dongguan, a city in south China's Guangdong Province, some children chose to spend their holiday in cultural centers.
Chang'an, a town of Dongguan, has 13 cultural centers, each with 3,000 to 9,000 books.

"I'd like to read books here in my spare time. It has been a main space for me to read," said Zheng Yichen, a student.
In Beijing, books that can be carried out on back and that are fold-able are welcomed by young readers. At the secondhand book markets in the city, teenagers exchanged their books to allow good books to circulate and promote a low-carbon lifestyle.

In Jilin, a northeastern Chinese province, local book stores launched several themed book sharing activities to encourage children to have more quality readings.

"I like the atmosphere here, and there are a lot of good books that can broaden my vision and enrich my life," said Long Meixi, a student.
