📣 Hinweise für Reisende

China offers a blend of ancient history, modern technology, and natural beauty. Travelers can explore historic sites, bustling modern cities (such as Shanghai and Shenzhen), and spectacular natural landscapes like the karst formations of Guilin and the granite peaks of Huangshan.

• Major national holidays (e.g., Chinese New Year, October 1st) can cause extreme crowding across all modes of transport.
• Book all travel, including tickets, well in advance due to potential scarcity and increased pricing during holidays.
• Travel during major holiday periods (like the Spring Festival) should be planned carefully due to massive annual migrations.
• Be aware that certain Western dining customs (e.g., fortune cookies) may not be locally traditional.
• The Spring Festival (Chinese New Year) period involves one of the largest global annual migrations.
• Anticipate crowded travel conditions whether by train, air, or road during major holidays.
• Dining is typically family-style, using shared dishes. Use of chopsticks is standard, but be mindful of customs: never stick chopsticks upright in food, pass food from one set of chopsticks to another, or point with them. Wait for the most senior person to start eating, and only one person should serve food from communal dishes.
