As the Golden Week approaches, millions of  travelers will be on the move, congesting travel modes and destinations not only in China but also overseas. To some people, this could be a stressful and frustrating experience.

The good news is, we've got your back! Here are some tips on how to survive this Golden Week like a pro:

1. Get out of the country!

Finding a destination abroad should be the most important tip. However, if you are staying in China you better consider travelling to the big cities since many people flee to rural China to visit their relatives, making the cities less congested.

2.     Try to not to travel by train

Railway in China is very cheap and efficient and that’s why we tell you to avoid it during the Golden Week. The reason? As the preferred mode of transportation in the country, the chances of finding space on a train are minimal and even if you find a seat it will be a daunting experience.

3. Get off the beaten path!

Consider using the holiday to do something most local people won’t do, like riding horses on the Tibetan Plateau, or hiking the Tiger Leaping Gorge. Get off the main thoroughfare and explore where the locals live. Find a way to detox after dealing with the crowds.

4. Travel smart

There is a relative lull between Oct 3-5 as domestic travelers are generally at their destinations and not moving around. So if you have to move between cities and particularly by train, that is your best shot.

5. Keep calm and embrace the crowds!

Whether you are staying in China or traveling overseas some level of stress will be always unavoidable, so keeping a good spirit will make a huge difference. Plan your trip carefully, enjoy your destination and be safe! See you soon!
