The Lunar New Year is drawing near—have you decided where to go yet? With a long holiday and your year-end bonus in hand, don’t forget to reward yourself for a year of hard work. Whether you opt for an immersive journey through Asia or a comfortable, dreamy vacation in Europe or America, either is a solid pick. In Asian countries, you can explore the hidden alleys of Tokyo, enjoy the natural beauty of its suburbs, or head to vibrant Bangkok and Singapore to soak up the warmth of the equator. If you're considering a holiday in Europe or America, why not try your luck during the Lunar New Year? Visit the never-sleeping city of Las Vegas in the U.S., or explore culturally rich and fashion-forward London in the U.K. And of course, don’t miss the romantic water city of Venice to experience the festive Italian carnival atmosphere of the Venice Carnival.

● Tokyo, Japan
Tokyo has consistently been a top choice for Chinese travelers during the Spring Festival. In addition to visiting urban attractions like the Tokyo Tower, Mori Art Museum, and Tsukiji Fish Market, you can also take advantage of the long holiday to plan a short trip to Tokyo’s suburbs. Whether it’s skiing in Karuizawa or soaking in an onsen in Hakone while gazing at Mount Fuji, you’ll enjoy a variety of unique natural landscapes.

● Singapore
With its pleasant climate, Singapore has always been a popular choice for Lunar New Year travel, and its thoroughly modern vibe is especially appealing to solo travelers. The island’s most beloved attraction, Sentosa, is close to trendy Siloso Beach, a favorite among beach lovers, and is home to numerous famous sites such as Universal Studios, S.E.A. Aquarium, and the Singapore Flyer. Whether you’re looking to join the lively festivities or enjoy quality family time, it caters to all kinds of travelers.

● Bangkok, Thailand
If you want to escape from heavy winter clothes, consider visiting Bangkok, a popular winter escape destination, to enjoy tropical vibrancy. Aside from distinctive floating markets and affordable shopping, food, and massage experiences, the city’s historic temples located in the heart of the urban center are must-visit landmarks for travelers from around the world.
