With Lunar New Year approaching, a renowned global hotel booking website has revealed Taiwanese travelers’ travel trends for the festive season. Tokyo, a perennially popular overseas destination, ranks first, while the second to fourth spots are all domestic cities—Taipei, Kaohsiung, and Taichung. All top ten destinations are in Asian countries. Aside from Japan, Bangkok and Seoul are also highly sought-after. Whether you’re looking forward to a warm winter getaway or experiencing the festive atmosphere in a snowy wonderland, the year-end is the perfect time to treat yourself and kick off the new year with a memorable trip.
 

Tokyo
The rise of budget airlines and the continued depreciation of the Japanese yen have made nearby Japan the top travel choice for locals.

Taipei
Situated at the intersection of history and modern metropolis, Taipei boasts a diverse cultural style. It is a great destination for both hipsters and those wanting to experience the city’s charming vibes.

Kaohsiung
With the development of its harbor, Kaohsiung has become increasingly prosperous—not only an international landmark but also a popular spot for domestic travel and photo ops.

Taichung
Taichung’s waterfront tourism development is thriving, starting with the Liuchuan area, which has created a unique urban landscape for the city.
