📣 Traveler notes

China features a blend of ancient history and modern development. Tourists can visit both futuristic cities (e.g., Shanghai, Shenzhen) and natural wonders, such as the karst landscapes of Guilin and Huangshan's granite peaks.

  • Major holidays (like CNY or National Day) cause massive population migration, requiring extensive travel planning due to extreme crowding and high ticket prices.
  • Peak travel times include Chinese New Year (late January to mid-February) and National Day (October 1st).
  • Golden Weeks refer to periods of extended holidays when services may be significantly affected.
  • Annual national holidays include New Year's Day (January 1st) and the Spring Festival (Chinese New Year).
  • Dining is highly communal and family-style. While chopsticks are standard, spoons are used for soups and porridge. Wait for the most senior person to begin eating. Do not use chopsticks to point or move dishes.
