Ctrip: Book Ctrip Preferred Stay Apartments to Explore the Warmest Winter Paradise

    Since Ctrip launched the Preferred Stay Card allowing guests to stay for 30 days for just 2,688 yuan, related information has garnered significant consumer attention. On December 1st, Ctrip Preferred Stay Apartments began accepting bookings. According to reports, most Preferred Stay Card users plan to use their cards over two to four vacations. With winter now upon us and cold winds blowing, the majority of Preferred Stay Card users are looking to spend a week or two in a sunny southern paradise to "hibernate" away the cold.

    According to Ctrip staff responsible for the Preferred Stay Card, most travelers are currently heading south to escape the cold for the Spring Festival, leading to a booking rush. Popular destinations such as Bo’ao and Wanning in Hainan account for a large share of Preferred Stay Apartments. Ctrip reminds cardholders traveling to these two locations to book as early as possible.

    So besides Hainan, what other sunny paradises offer relief from the cold? 

    Long Summers, No Winters – The Ideal and Magical Sunny Paradise: Xishuangbanna

    In the Dai language, Xishuangbanna means "an ideal and magical paradise." It boasts lush tropical rainforests and enchanting Dai culture. Thanks to its tropical location, it enjoys exceptional warmth all year round. That's why Xishuangbanna is described as having "long summers but no winters, and one rainfall brings autumn." Even in the coldest January, the average temperature here is 16°C, while during the hottest periods, the average only reaches 28°C. Such mild temperatures mean Xishuangbanna is a place that has never seen snow and is abundant in sunshine—making it the perfect spot to escape the cold.

    "Animal Kingdom" tropical forests, Wild Elephant Valley, and the Xishuangbanna Ethnic Museum are must-visit attractions.
