Chinese tourists pack into ruins of Angkor

Some urban Chinese avoid traveling around Spring Festival and the National Day holiday week as most of their compatriots are on the move then.

I have largely stuck to this unconventional wisdom over the years in the country.

But last week, when 6 million people from the Chinese mainland were expected to travel to foreign shores, I ventured to Cambodia, a country of 15 million, with a child in tow.
