SLIMJIM Points: Join Date: Oct 13, 2008 Status: offline	I am making my second trip to China April 16 to May 10. I have read all the warnings about the May day crowds. I arrive in BJ and leave from HK so my plan is to travel south at a leisurely pace. Pingyao-Xian-Chengdu-Guilin. Since the holiday is only 3 days in 2010 (Sat,Sun,Mon) can I expect normal travel crowds 1 or 2 days before and after or is it still chaotic by say, May 5th. Hope this is clear! Thanks in advance

Anyway, since I am traveling alone I was afraid to risk trying to get train tickets around the holiday. I am traveling 8 to 30 April arrive in Shanghai.
