Are trains, hotels too busy during Chinese new Year week?

The attractions will be crowded during that time, especially at the Temple Fairs in these places. Most of people choose to stay with family members or see relatives. So the train tickets may not be so hard to buy during the first days of the holidays. For latter days, maybe around Feb 22 to Feb. 23, people start to move to travel around a little bit. The flights tickets fee will be high.

Personally speaking, it is not suggested come to China during the Spring Festival because the tickets are hard to get. If you already decided, you can come, because it is really a great time to enjoy Chinese tradditional culture.
