Hi,
I have a simple question to local residence.

Is this a good idea to visit Beijing in 6th~10th Feb. 2008 as a tourist?

Since the spring holiday(sorry for the wrong name) is a big one in China, I heard, I'm concerned if the shops and restaraunts are all closed.

Please tell me what you think.

Good day!

The spring festival of 2008 will be last from Feb. 7 to Feb. 13. You will see less people in Beijing but big shops and restaurants won't close!

Yes, the shops and restaurants are at their best prosperity at the Spring Festival. It is really a great chance to see how the Chinese spend their Spring Festival, but it is really very crowded on buses, tains, streets, airports, shops, restaurants and others.

Spring Festival is also a good time to check out the Temple Fairs in Beijing.... but as GURTY says, it'll be VERY crowded!
