"Slowly, the spring mountains are long, and the warblers are silent and the swallows are busy." Time flies so fast, when we are still immersed in the "most beautiful April day in the world", April has quietly slipped away for a while, and May has gradually approached. May is the season of spring and the beginning of summer, and it is also the month of beautiful arrival, when the sun is just right, everything is lush, and it is even more worth being happy that we can have a small long holiday in May. That's right, it is "May Day", and May Day is a holiday worth remembering and celebrating for workers, so Labor Day is a legal holiday in the mainland.
In my impression, the May Day holiday is a very suitable festival for travel throughout the year. Whether it is a long trip, picnic and camping in the suburbs, or going to the park at our doorstep to admire peonies and roses, it can let us get away from the hustle and bustle and return to nature. Not only that, you can also taste a lot of seasonal delicacies during the May Day holiday: plump skin shrimp, fresh and crisp new garlic moss, sweet and sour cherries, and the beautiful number of May Day holidays is endless...... Hearing this, can't you hold back your anticipation for the May Day holiday? How are you going to spend this May Day holiday? Before arranging your holiday plan, have you read the 2025 "May Day Holiday Notice"?

There is 1 bad news for this year's "May Day holiday".
During the May Day holiday, the major popular attractions may be crowded
The May Day holiday can be said to be a very suitable time of the year to travel, whether it is in the south or the north, the temperature is comfortable, the air is fresh, and the flowers are blooming. However, because most people will choose to travel during the May Day holiday, according to past experience, we will also face the problem of overcrowding in scenic spots when traveling on May Day, which is bad news for us.
Stations, airports, highways, scenic spots, and B&Bs are crowded with people everywhere. I thought I could see the beautiful picture of green mountains and green waters, but what caught my eye was "everyone, you are everyone", and to be honest, there was no beauty at all.
The same is true for restaurants in scenic spots and high-speed service areas, where it is very difficult to find a vacant seat during the meal time, and even when you get a seat, the food is served very slowly, and the noisy environment is not unpleasant.
I advise you that if the "May Day" holiday time can be flexibly arranged, you should still travel at a staggered peak, avoid the peak hours of the tour, and play in advance or after the wrong time to gain a better experience. If you really can't choose the time, you must be patient, learn to be polite in crowded places, and avoid quarrels with people and affect your mood.
There are 2 good news for this year's "May Day holiday".
1. This year's May Day holiday is one more day than in previous years
This year's "Labor Day holiday", May 2 is also included in the statutory holiday, that is to say, this year's May Day holiday is really one more day.
This is a major change ushered in by the May Day holiday, and the addition of holidays means that we only need to use one day of make-up work to exchange for five consecutive days of vacation, which is really good news for everyone!
This adjustment satisfies our desire for more holidays and avoids the hard work of making up shifts for a long time after the holidays, which makes the "May Day holiday" more worthy of its name.
2. The May Day holiday is here, and the Dragon Boat Festival holiday is not far away
This year's May is a month full of happiness, because there is another good news for you: Labor Day and Dragon Boat Festival will meet in May, which means that there will only be 19 days of work in May this year!
After the May Day holiday, the Dragon Boat Festival will be celebrated at the end of May. We should cherish the holidays, put down our busy work and enjoy the good time with nature and family.
There are 3 things to pay attention to during this year's "May Day holiday":
1. Pay attention to the free passage time of the expressway
During the May Day holiday in 2025, we will continue to implement the free passage policy for small passenger cars on highways on holidays.
The free passage is from 00:00 on May 1 to 24:00 on May 5, 2025. The expressway is free for five days, covering the entire holiday, and the toll will be resumed from 0:00 on May 6.
Remind everyone that the time of free passage can not be miscalculated, and it should be emphasized that the time of toll exemption is subject to the time when the vehicle leaves the toll lane at the exit of the expressway. On ordinary highways, the time when vehicles pass through the toll lanes of toll booths is the same.
In other words, if you get on the highway during the toll period and get off the highway during the free period, you will not be charged. On the contrary, if you get on the expressway during the free period and get off the expressway during the toll period, you will be charged.
2. Pay attention to arrange the itinerary in advance
May Day is a great time to get out and about, but don't just be happy, plan ahead.
The first thing to do is to find out who you'll be traveling with, whether it's family, friends, or colleagues. Once you've decided on the number of days you want to travel, decide how you're going based on your destination and your financial resources, as well as your main destination city. It is especially important to note that you should arrange a place to stay in advance to avoid not being able to find a place to stay temporarily, and you should pack your luggage in advance before traveling, including clothes, food, maps, etc., and do not rush before leaving.
3. Pay attention to seasonal changes
During the May Day holiday, I would like to remind you to pay attention to one thing: pay attention to the changes in the season.
At the beginning of May, catkins are falling, rhododendrons are crying at night, peonies are blooming, and cherries are ripe, all of which indicate that late spring is prelude to early summer.
This year's May Day holiday runs from May 1 to May 5. Did you know? May 5th is the beginning of the summer solar term. That is to say, this May Day holiday is at the end of spring and the beginning of summer, the climate at this time is characterized by a rapid rise in temperature, increased precipitation, and changeable weather.
If you are planning to take advantage of the May Day holiday for a long trip, you should check the local weather forecast in advance and prepare clothes suitable for the local climate, so that you can adjust your clothing according to the local temperature. In addition, even if you are happy during the May Day period, the diet can not follow the temperament, the greasy and cold diet should be stopped in moderation, but should eat more green leafy vegetables, yams and other seasonal foods, in short, eat according to the season, according to the time, in order to ensure that the May Day holiday trip is smoother.
