During this Golden Week, more Chinese tourists have chosen to go on driving tours abroad. Wang Ru reports.

These veteran outbound Chinese tourists are not just satisfied with "shoot-and-go" sightseeing tours. Instead, because they can afford to, they prefer the exotic experience of traveling all by themselves or only with friends and families. Besides popular Asian destinations such as South Korea and Thailand, such Chinese tourists are fond of driving in big countries such as the United States and Canada.

Zhang Xiaotian, a busy pediatrician in Beijing, who had planned for her current holiday half a year ahead, opted to go on a driving tour in Canada.
