The Labor Day Holiday will take place from May 1-3, and here’s a round-up of the various transportation news that should help you along your way:

• Crossing the border into Hong Kong? Peak hours everyday take place between 8:30 and 11am, and 7 and 10pm, so arrive at another time or be prepared to line up.
• Both the Shenzhen Metro will run late on Thursday until 12am midnight, while the Guangzhou Metro will extend operations by one hour.
• The Shenzhen Railway Station will run additional trains: there will be an extra train to Shaoguan on Wednesday and Thursday, and an extra train to Yueyang on Wednesday and Friday.
• Provincial highways will be toll-free for the duration of the holiday.
• A discount is being offered on non-peak flights for the holidays. For example, the lowest priced flight of Singapore Air from May 1 to July 12 is 1200 yuan.
• The holiday return peak time will be from 10am-10pm on Saturday. Expect us to publish photos of crazy line-ups and queues from this time period next week.

Remember: it’s back to work on Sunday, May 4 for a six day work week from May 4-9.
