Chinese Golden Week

China's Golden Week 2024

Golden Week is one of the biggest celebrations in China, and in 2024 it will take place from Oct. 1 to 7. As the country celebrates the founding of the People's Republic of China, this week also traditionally brings significant changes to the travel and logistics industry.

Logistics and transportation

For companies dependent on imports and exports through China, Golden Week brought significant supply chain disruptions in recent years. The weeks leading up to this holiday season are associated with rising freight costs, sometimes as much as 50%, and major delays at key ports such as Shanghai. However, we expect this year to be different and no major delays.
