The first week in October is a Nat'l Holiday and gov't offices are closed for a few days.
The last 2 weeks in April and October there are the trade fairs in Guangzhou. Some agencies no longer have families in Guangzhou during those time periods because hotel, airplane tickets, and food costs are much higher and Guangzhou is very very crowded and busy. Also hotel room availability is tough.
If your agency sends families during the trade fair then your travel would work around the Chinese Gov't holiday.
Your best off finding out your agency's policy.
And in reality a late Sept referral would not travel before Nov in most cases anyway. It usually is 4-8 weeks after referral that a family travels.
