Do consider when planning trip to CP, CA & HJ in October
Received few PMs from the bros, asking me whether I m available in mid october to cheong in CP or not.
There is a hari raya holiday in october, guess that is why bros are making the trip up?
For those bros who are planning to go dongguan (like CP) in october, my opinion is, if possible, try to avoid it. The reason being so is because october is a month that full with event and holidays.
First, there is golden week holiday in china starting oct 1 for one week. Even a small portion of china-chinese going down to dongguan, it is already consider a lot.
Second, taiwan double ten holiday in oct 10. Whenever there is a holiday for hk or taiwan, u will see whole buch of taiwanese/hongkee there.
Third, and this is the worst, canton fair (guangzhou trade) starting from oct 15 till 30, last for 2 weeks. During the canton fair, u will see lots of fair visitors coming from the whole world, and they will take this opportunity to cheong! and 99% the hotel price will up!
If you still remember last year's incident, the taiwanese reporter case at huihua, it was happening on oct 10.
Just a-du himself (the organiser that went to newspaper and kenna chop), he already got 100++ cheongsters with him, not even mention about other agents like XGX, TBH and others. That time, miraton, huihua n huatai all fully booked, and 80% were taiwanese.
(of course other hotels like lucky also fully booked lah… why I know? Because I was there…)
Canton fair even worse, not only that it is difficult to get the hotel room, worse still, hotel will increase the price!
There are 2 seasons that hotel business will be extremely good: chinese new year and canton fair (apr & oct). And these are the periods that very likely u will see guys more than girls in CP (of course, houjie, chang'an are the same)!
For me, I don't like to go during peak season, because the girl will be very hao lian. They know it is easy for them to get business, and very likely the service is not good. Not only that, the KTV mummy, or the BBS OKT will also not pay attention on you during the busy days, but during the cold period, you will be served like a king… ^_*
Comparing these 3 events, if u really die die must go dongguan during october, my advice is do it before october 13 (before friday), otherwise, very likely u have to compete with many bros during girl selection.
But of course, if u are the frequent cheongster, u should know the way to handle this situation (like engage the regular in advance), but for newbies, my advice is try to avoid going in oct...
Happy cheonging and bonking!~
