Q: When does the spring festival "peak travel season" end?

I'd like to go on a vacation somewhere this winter (domestic), but i've heard that plane/train tickets are about to become insanely expensive and hard to buy for the spring festival holiday, especially from tier one cities (like Beijing where I am).

Does anyone know around what time is the peak winter travel season concludes and ticket prices go back to being cheap again?

It will probably happen after Lantern Festival, which is two weeks (or 15 days ) after New Lunar Year day. After Lantern festival, those still at home will have to return to work.
For safety, think maybe 3 to 4 weeks after New Lunar Year day, and train, bus and airplane travel should be down to normal.

Indeed, travel will abate slightly after February 6th for about 10 days but then it will pick up again around February 18th as all the students, in a frenzied hurry, return to their universities, etc., etc., which are starting earlier than usual this year -- around February 20th.

Q: When do you need to get a medical examination?

A: Your potential employer is right! Purpose of the Medical exam bef

A:Your potential employer is right! Purpose of the Medical exam before granting Z visa is to make sure, you won't be entering China in any abnormal and harmful to others condition.Few days after your arrival to China, you'll be required to complete another ME ... If ME in China will be OK, you'll get a Residence permit stamp into your book some 10-days afterwards. Imagine, you're an employer, who can sponsor my entry and work in China, but after my arrival to China would be found I carry some sickness, which would prevent Chinese .gov to issue a Residence permit. Rule is: Z visa should be converted into Residence permit in 30-days after entry to China. So, my advice is:"Complete ME in your home country and forward medical results to your employer".Z visa grant will follow shortly afterwards. Employer is not wrong at their demand for the pre-arrival ME from your home country hospital. -- icnif77
