📣 Traveler notes
China blends ancient civilizations with modern, futuristic cities (e.g., Shanghai, Shenzhen) and natural wonders (e.g., Guilin, Huangshan).
- Plan trips carefully to avoid major national holiday periods (Golden Weeks), as transportation can be extremely crowded and expensive.
- Be aware of major national holidays, including New Year's Day (January 1) and the Spring Festival (Chinese New Year).
- Dining dishes are traditionally shared family-style. When using chopsticks, avoid sticking them upright in rice, passing food from chopsticks to another person's, or pointing with them. Wait for the person serving to finish before reaching for food, and do not return leftovers to a shared dish.
