Shanghai
Q: Is it suitable to visit Shanghai for Mid-Autumn Festival? What is the best time?
Appropriate. In late September, the average temperature in Shanghai is about 20–26°C, with osmanthus in full bloom and fresh meat mooncakes on the market, creating crisp autumn weather. The best time is three days before and after Mid-Autumn Festival. Mid-Autumn night is ideal for moon viewing at the Bund or gardens, but you need to book popular nightlife sessions in advance.
Q: Are there many people going to Shanghai for Mid-Autumn Festival? How to avoid crowds?
During the Mid-Autumn holiday, visitor numbers at Yuyuan Garden and the Bund increased significantly. According to official data, the average daily visitor flow at key scenic spots increased by about 30%–40% compared to usual. It is recommended to visit early in the morning of Mid-Autumn or the day before the holiday; Yuyuan is staggered before 3 p.m., while the Bund is less crowded until 6–7 p.m.
Q: How can I book train tickets and hotel tickets for Mid-Autumn to Shanghai to save money?

Tickets can be discounted with coupons and low price reminders, hotels can choose "consecutive stay discounts," and attraction tickets can be discounted or deducted through Tongcheng Travel's "Scenic Area 100" promotion, usually saving you a bit compared to buying separately. Book 3–5 days in advance for more stable prices.
