Hey folks, get ready to hit the road (or runway!) 🛫
The Chinese mainland is bracing for a whopping 2 million border crossings per day during the upcoming eight-day National Day & Mid-Autumn Festival holiday from October 1 to 8. According to the National Immigration Administration (NIA), traffic will peak on the first day and again on October 6, so expect some buzz at airports and land ports.
Why the surge? It's a perfect storm of coinciding festivals, visa-free entry policies, and the full return of flights across key routes. Whether you're planning to explore neighbouring spots or catch up with friends, these perks are fueling serious wanderlust — South Asians heading to Vietnam, or Southeast Asians coming into the Chinese mainland, everyone's on the move! 🌏
To keep things smooth, the NIA has asked border inspection teams to ramp up operations, monitor traffic flows, and work closely with other agencies. The goal: keep customs clearance safe, speedy, and stress-free so you can focus on the fun part — making memories.
PSA: Pack your bags, check your visa rules, and maybe download that translation app before you go! 😉 Safe travels and happy holidays! 🍂🎉
