FAQ
What is the hardest China holiday for tourists?
National Day Golden Week and Spring Festival are usually the hardest because transport, hotels, and major attractions can be extremely crowded.
Should I avoid all public holidays in China?
Not always. Short holidays can work if you book early and keep the route simple, but first-time visitors should avoid complex transfers during peak weeks.
