[quote=APAULT,409805]There are different types of 'travel'. Chinese people travel at the Spring Festival to see family, just as many westerners do for Christmas. This is very different from free choice travel, such as many westerners do for 'summer holidays' or 'winter breaks', or international travel to see a country such as a trip to China. For free choice travel I would much rather travel when things are quiet. In general I would guess many Chinese would too.....BUT, Chinese seem to enjoy having big crowds around as it adds atmosphere. And I accept that places like Guilin or Lijiang would look very forlorn if there were few visitors. The bottom line for me: why would I want to pay more for travel and accommodation, why would I want to want to wait 30 minutes to take a photo without a horde of strangers in it, why would I want to queue up to visit anything? I wouldn't, I will go out of season any time![/quote]
