Is it a good time to visit Shenzhen ,Zhuhai and Macau during the Chinese New Year period 28 Jan 2012 to 5 Feb 2012? Are all the shops, tourist attractions and restaurants opened during this period? Thank you
It is not wise to tour China during this period as everywhere is crowded and some ressturant may close for the Chinese Spring Festival. I suggest you avoid this period. guest Replied on 2011-05-23
