Get ready for packed airports and bustling borders! 🌏 China is gearing up for a major travel boost during the five-day May Day holiday, with daily cross-border trips expected to hit 2.15 million—a 27% spike compared to 2023, according to the National Immigration Administration (NIA).
📆 The busiest days? Likely May 1 and May 5, as travelers rush to maximize their mini-vacations. Top hubs like Shanghai Pudong (101K daily crossings), Guangzhou Baiyun (50K), and Beijing Capital (45K) are bracing for crowds, with NIA urging airports to keep wait times under 30 minutes.
💥 The boom isn’t just international: Travel between the Chinese mainland, Hong Kong, and Macao is also skyrocketing, fueled by festivals, concerts, and cultural events across the regions. Think K-pop gigs in Shanghai or night markets in Macao—Gen Z is here for it!
