As someone who frequently goes on self-driving trips, I pay close attention to the information about free expressways during the Mid-Autumn Festival, as it affects my travel plans. Generally, expressways are free on the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, usually for one day, but sometimes the free period is extended when combined with other holidays. I recommend checking the latest announcements on the official website or app of China's expressways when planning your trip, as I've seen changes in notifications last year. Driving home to visit family or admire the moon is a great opportunity, but try to avoid peak travel times, such as the afternoon before the holiday, which often sees heavy traffic. I usually bring some snacks and water, check my car's condition in advance, and make the journey more relaxed and safe. Remember, safety comes first—speeding can easily lead to accidents and ruin the mood.
