I would suggest that you travel either before 1 October or after 8 october 2019. This is because 1-7 October (Golden week) is a week long holiday given to people in China specifically so that they can travel.
There are no special festivities at this time (except that you will see the Chinese flag flown alogn some big roads, as the country was founded on 1 October 2019) - but railway stations, tourist spots and bus statiosn are all ultra crowded. Popular tourist spots in Shanghai, Beijing, Hangzhou, Chengdu, Great wall (Chang cheng) also are VERY crowded. So it is not the best time to travel in China. After the holiday however, it becomes much nicer.
