2026 May Day Holiday Notice And Travel Guide--ETU-LINK

2026 May Day Holiday Notice and Travel Guide

April 23, 2026

The Qingming holiday has just 'ended,' and the Labor Day holiday is 'loading.' In early summer, when the flowers are in full bloom and the breeze is just right, we have finally welcomed a holiday where we can rest without guilt — Labor Day (that's right, Labor Day can mean not working).

Let's get down to business first:

How many days off? From May 1st (Friday) to May 5th (Tuesday), making a 5-day mini holiday.

Which day do we have to work to make up? Remember to work on May 9th (Saturday), don’t cry later saying nobody reminded you.

Are highways free? Absolutely free! From 0:00 on May 1st to 24:00 on May 5th, cars with 7 seats or fewer can drive freely.

(Tip:Saving money is good, but don’t get stuck in traffic to the point of stargazing.)

Travel forecast? The data is here, please catch it:

Forecast Item	Details
Average Daily Traffic Volume on National Expressways	Approximately 62 million vehicles. Imagine nearly all cars across the country hitting the road. (Source: Ministry of Transport)
Travel Peak	The first day of the holiday (the morning of May 1). It is recommended not to struggle with navigation that day.
Return Peak	From the afternoon of May 4 to the whole day of May 5. You will see various "parking lot blockbusters" on Moments by then.

Don't want to be squeezed into a 'human sandwich'? Try these:

Local in-depth trips:Wake up early to grab a bowl of authentic breakfast, and in the afternoon visit community markets or craft workshops to be a 'half-day artisan.'

Home relaxation:Friends staying at home can also binge-watch TV shows and movies—after all, the sofa and projector are the best partners for May Day. Here are a few classic, highly-rated films of different styles, perfectly balanced between laughs and tears, to help you pass (or rather, enjoy) your great time:

Movie	Recommendation Reason
Lost on Journey	After watching it, you’ll find being stuck on the highway isn’t that bad.
3 Idiots	Prepare your tissues—you’ll laugh until you cry.
The Wandering Earth	Perfect for snacking on popcorn while thinking: “The Earth is wandering, and I’m still staying at home?”
Lighting Up the Stars	Warm and down-to-earth; you’ll want to call your family after watching.
The Eagle Shooting Heroes	A pure nonsense comedy masterpiece that makes you laugh nonstop.
Pegasus 3	Hot-Blooded Racing + hilarious comedy; thrilling, exciting and relaxing.

Pick one, click it, sink into the sofa—the correct way to spend a holiday, that's all.

Friendly reminder:if you choose none of the above, lying there daydreaming is also a proper thing to do.

A few last nagging words (but very serious):

Remember to check the weather before going out, so you don't get soaked in the rain; bring some stomach medicine, sunscreen, and masks—the premise of having fun is not feeling unwell. Keep an eye on your wallet and phone, and buying travel insurance gives extra peace of mind. Don't carve anything randomly in scenic spots; travel politely and be the most respectable person among your friends. During this relaxed May Day holiday,ETU-LINK is still fully online to serve you—whether you're staying home binge-watching, stuck in traffic, or at the top of a mountain watching the crowd, our signal and service never go offline.

Put down the keyboard and come back fully charged. Wishing you this May Day, laugh until your abs hurt, and play in complete relaxation!
