Ctrip: Travel in Southeast Asia for a Different Chinese New Year

    In just over a month, the family reunion festival of Chinese New Year will be here. It’s everyone’s wish to have a joyous and lively celebration, but nowadays more and more people are inclined to celebrate in a different way—traveling as a family to seek a unique “New Year vibe” elsewhere, and Southeast Asia has naturally become a sought-after destination.

The traditional way of celebrating the New Year can no longer meet people’s increasingly diverse needs, and the conventional sightseeing-style travel also fails to satisfy those who want to spend the holiday away from home. More and more travelers hope to embark on an immersive journey during the Spring Festival. An immersive trip involves not only tasting the local cuisine and enjoying the scenery, but also experiencing unique accommodations. Staying in a vacation apartment that offers a homelike experience, great value for money, and local charm can add a special touch to your travels. Now follow us to Southeast Asia to find a unique Chinese New Year journey.

Bali – A Tropical Dream Paradise

 

As a dazzling pearl in the Andaman Sea, Thailand’s Phuket boasts world-renowned beautiful seascapes. January is the best time to visit Phuket, where the average temperature of 28 degrees Celsius forms a sharp contrast with the cold winds up north in China. Vast, beautiful beaches, pristine white sands, emerald-green waters, coupled with Phuket’s brilliant sunshine, make the sea appear even more crystal clear.

The Phi Phi Islands, known for their water clarity and excellent visibility for snorkeling, are a famous attraction in Phuket and also one of the world’s top ten most beautiful islands. Put on a sun hat, wear sunglasses, and hop aboard Phuket’s iconic long-tail boat with your family to watch colorful fish swim by. When the fun really kicks in, you can just dive headfirst into the water for some snorkeling until the sunset paints the sea red before your eyes.

Phang Nga Bay is hailed as the most scenic spot in Phuket and definitely shouldn’t be missed. Known as Thailand’s “Little Guilin,” it offers a perfect blend of ocean and rocky landscapes, letting you enjoy swimming, diving, sailing, and exploration all in one go.
