How to do it
A simple version
National Day Golden Week is a scale experience. Use it to understand public life, but avoid forcing a landmark checklist into the busiest days. Choose one city neighbourhood, one local meal and one low-risk evening route.
How to do it
Make it happen
- Book trains and hotels as early as the calendar allows.
- Avoid changing cities every day; reserve one buffer day.
- Use city parks, neighbourhood food streets and public cultural events.
- Check crowd control notices around iconic landmarks.
