"China Calls off Week-long May Day Holiday.
China has decided to suspend the week-long May Day holiday this year, however, people can enjoy a consecutive vacation from May 1 to 5." All in an effort to curb the chronic logistics nightmares of an other mass migration, close on the heals of New Year.
This might be the "Official Party Line" but I know a number of factories and business that will take advantage and extend the holidays a couple of extra days. Ok to be fair some will only take 5/1 .. one day holiday.
Tourist volume shrinks in shortened May Day holiday
Chinese had their fervor for holiday sightseeing cooled by a shortened vacation as tourist volume slumped nearly a quarter in the past three-day May Day holiday.
A total of 8.94 million people visited 119 monitored tourist spots around the country from May 1 to May 3, 24.45 percent down from the same period last year, the national office in charge of holiday affairs said on Saturday.

As for me I'm heading back to So. Cal on Tuesday morning, 8:30am to Hong Kong to LAX.
