Travel Tips

Public Holidays

To evade a jammed China travel, you'd better not visit China during the national holidays. China has two golden weeks for tourism in a year, which comes in National Day Holiday and the Spring Festival. The Spring Festival begins on lunar December 8 and last until lunar January 15th, with its climax on lunar January 1. On the two occasions, three days off prescribed by regulations plus two weekends makes a week-long holiday when most Chinese are on vacation.
