How Public Holidays Affect Tourism
Tourist attractions, hotels, and transportation are at their most crowded on public holidays. Government offices and banks are shut but shops and other amenities stay open.
However, during Chinese New Year, most establishments close for up to a week, except for those which particularly serve travelers, such as hotels and large restaurants.
