What's the point of traveling on New Year's Day?

Not suitable.

In folk customs, it is not allowed to travel on New Year's Day, nor is it suitable for traveling, because New Year's Day is a day of reunion, and it is a day for the whole family to reunite for the New Year. You can go out but you can't travel far. Old people don't go out on New Year's Day. When they go out, there is a saying called "financial leakage". Only when the elders sit at home can the family prosper in the coming year, while the younger generation usually goes to the elders' home to pay New Year greetings as a sign of filial piety.

China people pay more attention to the first day of New Year's Day, which means a good omen in the year, so we can't have any accidents. An accident means a bad year.
