📣 Traveler notes

China offers a mix of ancient history and modern development, featuring diverse sites from large cities like Shanghai to natural landscapes such as Guilin's karst formations and Huangshan peaks.

  • Major national holidays (e.g., Chinese New Year, National Day) cause massive domestic migration and potential overcrowding. Extensive planning is recommended.
  • Expect crowded transportation and elevated costs during national holiday periods.
  • China has various recognized national holidays, including the Spring Festival and January 1st.
  • Dining in China typically involves family-style sharing using chopsticks and spoons. Avoid placing chopsticks upright in bowls or passing food directly from your chopsticks to another person's. Wait for the most senior person to begin eating, and let the server handle food transfers.
