Travel China in golden week 💀
I mistakenly reserved flight tickets to China that crosses the golden week😭
Edit: I can’t reschedule or cancel the flights, I’m not that rich 😂 I’m asking for some ideas to make the trip as good as possible..
Arrive in Shanghai on 26 September and Leave from Beijing on 4 October.
I didn’t know there was a holiday and I was shocked when I searched later and saw pics of the crowds and when I read about the number of people going around.
What should I do to get the most out of the trip as much as possible 🥹
I was planning to stay 2 days in Shanghai, 2 in Zhangjiajie, 2 in Chongqing, 2 in Beijing, and lastly I deliberately chose a long layover in Hong Kong to look around before returning to Japan.
Edit: I’m copying exactly a plan from a successful tourist agency, except that they r staying 1 extra day in Shanghai because they’re going to Disney and I’m not, and they’re staying extra 2 days in Beijing.
The problem is I planned to go all the way to beijing just to see and experience the great wall. But it will be during the golden week, is there any way I can avoid the crowd as much as possible? Like arrive super early and reserve everything from early on.
Also will it be crowded before 1 October as well?
Pls tell me some tips, it’s my first time to travel solo without any program or anyone I know there..
