Travel to China during the national holiday of October 1

guest51918	Hi, I'm Spanish and I wanted to do a tour of China: Beijing, Xian, ..., shanghai on 25 September to 9 October. I heard that on 1 October is the national holiday and the country is paralyzed, delayed planes, trains ... my question is that if we all flights booked, will we have a problem? Would it be better to change the dates of the trip? Or you can travel perfectly even holiday. Thank you very much for your help.

Some attraction sites will even see people heel after heel during rush hours. But the sites will also offer some special activities. It is your choice and you make the decision.

Even if your flights etc are booked it is the sheer number of people who are traveling and sightseeing that make it an unpleasant experience. And we all pay inflated prices for hotels, entrance fees and flights as well.
