TIPS

Since it is the longest public holiday in China besides the Chinese New Year, a huge amount of Chinese and foreign tourists go traveling around the country during the so-called Golden Week. 

Here are some travel tips for you to make your trip more comfortable in China. 

01

Avoid the travel rush if possible

The holiday will begin on Oct 1 and end on Oct 7, so there will be traffic and travel peak periods from Sept 30 to Oct 3 and from Oct 5 to Oct 7. 

There are usually fewer tourists and more satisfying travel experience outside of those periods. 

02

Avoid hot destinations

Those hot and renowned places are always crowded with visitors during the holiday. 

It is more leisure and enjoyable to visit some not-much-famous tourism cities and attractions with fewer visitors. 

03

Book tickets and rooms in advance

As we said above, thousands of people go traveling around and there are traffic and travel peak periods during the holiday so that it is hard to buy flight and train tickets in the rush. 

What’s more, there may be more discounts for tickets and hotel rooms if you book earlier.
