    Group newsletter: The best way to plan a business trip to China (Part One)
    Plan your time-table
    Always plan well ahead.
    Where possible, avoid planning any kind of travel on the three golden weeks in China;
    1. Two weeks during Chinese New Year (Likely to be late January or early February each year)
    2. The first week of May (May day holidays)
    3. First week of October (National Day holidays)
    These are weeks where every Chinese would also be on holidays. This create an incredible crush on air, land and sea transport systems as well as hotels, restaurants and tourist sights. Always plan for trips before or after the golden weeks and never during, unless you don't mind being crushed by millions of Chinese on holiday as well.
    If you are travelling to a particular city, do check that there is no major trade convention or exhibition going on in that city. If you happen to travel during a major event, chances are, you will not be able to get a hotel room or a plane ticket. Of course, if you are travelling specially for that major event, than you will still need to go but do book early and be prepared for jacked up hotel prices.
    Some of these major Chinese conventions and exhibitions include the annual Import-Export Fair in Canton, Fashion Fair in Dalian, International Investment Fair in Xiamen, World Business Convention in Shanghai, Enterprise IT Fair in Beijing etc.
    These exhibition and trade fairs would be a good place to pick up new business contacts, suppliers and customers.
