• Expect severe congestion in travel and lodging due to massive internal migration during major holidays.
• Book all transportation and accommodation well in advance during major holidays, as tickets are limited and costly.
• The Spring Festival (Chinese New Year) and National Day (October 1st) are significant annual periods.
• Due to the country's vast size, long-distance travel planning is essential.
