📣 Traveler notes
China is characterized by a rich history, visible in its art and architecture. Modern China showcases a contrast between rapidly developing, futuristic metropolises and diverse natural landscapes.
- The holiday period involves massive domestic migration, significantly impacting travel and resources.
- Planning travel well in advance is necessary, as transportation will be heavily crowded and expensive.
- It is advisable to minimize domestic travel plans during the peak holiday period.
- Chinese New Year falls on the new moon, typically between late January and late February.
- Dining is generally communal and family-style. Key etiquette points include: Do not place chopsticks upright in food or pass them between sets. Wait for the host or most senior person to begin eating, and only one person should serve from any communal dish.
