I'm trying to know if it will be a good idea to travel from 1 until 8 of October, when it will be National Day holiday in China. the plan is to go from 25th Sept. to 24th October, but I'm thinking maybe pushing it a couple of days. what do you think? it's a bad risk backpacking that region during holiday? any advice would be kindly appreciated. dragos

It's OK to travel in China during this period and since you have one month on the road you should be able to plan to be in the less popular destinations or smaller towns.

Just steer clear of the major attractions on around the beginning of the break. And book hostel accommodation early if you find yourself in those places during the peak week.

I've been looking lately at western Yunnan and I think you could hide away out there for months away from the crowds in wonderfully under explored places. Have a look at the Nujiang the the Geothermal/volcanic area of Tengchong

All the best enjoy the trip.
