The Mid-Autumn Festival holiday expressway is definitely toll-free, as it's part of the national policy for toll-free holidays. I remember major holidays like Spring Festival, Qingming Festival, Labor Day, National Day, and Mid-Autumn Festival are all included. The toll-free policy only applies to private vehicles with 7 seats or less, such as sedans or minivans. The free period usually starts at 12:00 midnight the day before the holiday and ends at 12:00 midnight on the last day of the holiday. This policy is designed to make travel easier for people to go home for reunions or travel, saving a lot on toll fees. However, traffic is particularly heavy during the free period, leading to congestion. So, I recommend checking if your ETC card is working properly before departure or avoiding peak hours, such as choosing to drive in the early morning for a smoother journey. There might be minor adjustments to the policy each year, so it's best to confirm through traffic apps or official websites to avoid unnecessary trips. Safe driving is the top priority, and don't forget to take several breaks on long drives.
