Ctrip: Combine Holidays for Christmas and New Year, Vacation Apartments in High Demand

    “Double Holidays”: “Southern Springs and Northern Snow” Become Popular Choices

　　Besides shopping sprees, winter activities such as skiing and hot spring getaways have also become new favorites during the “Double Holidays.” According to staff at Tujia.com, popular northern travel cities include Beijing, Qingdao and Yantai in Shandong, and Harbin, while southern destinations are led by Sanya in Hainan, followed by Lijiang, Xiamen, and cities in the Chengdu-Chongqing area.

　　Beijing’s winter, away from the hustle and bustle of the Golden Week, allows the Forbidden City under snow to showcase even more of its imperial majesty and solemnity. Locals know that a snowy winter afternoon is the best time to visit the Forbidden City. Many MTVs about Beijing choose to shoot the palace in the snow to best capture the atmosphere of emperors’ visits in days gone by. Tujia’s Chang’an Yi Apartment is located on Chang’an Avenue, just a 10-minute stroll from the apartment. It’s also just over 500 meters from Line 1 subway station, offering convenient transportation nearby. It’s very easy to take a taxi to 798 Art Zone or Houhai.

　In winter, Shandong’s Qingdao and Yantai enter their off-peak season. However, winter sports like skiing have become a new draw for tourists. Both cities boast several well-known ski resorts, including Qingdao’s largest ski resort—Qingdao Jinshan Ski Resort. Its ski runs meet national standards in width and slope. Snowmobiles and snow discs add more fun on the ice and snow, while alpine sightseeing ski lifts offer sweeping views of “silver-snaked mountains draped in white.” Tujia’s Aofan Xingyuan Building vacation apartment, near the Golden Sail Sailing Center, offers a rare seascape with a blue coastline. Aside from skiing, you can also stroll along the beach, listen to the sound of the sea, and experience the unique charm of the winter ocean.

    There’s no need to elaborate on the warmth and sunshine of Sanya. The hot springs of Tengchong in Yunnan are equally enticing, making you not want to get out. Tengchong Hot Springs are located in Tengchong County, Yunnan Province. The area boasts unique natural landscapes, known worldwide for its spectacular volcanic landforms and abundant hot springs. Tengchong’s geothermal activity is clearly linked to volcanic movement, featuring diverse types, intense activity, and a vast scale, with steam and hot springs gushing out vigorously, creating an awe-inspiring sight. Since ancient times, it has been praised as a “vast sea of heat.” Tujia’s Hengyi Yujing Hot Spring vacation apartment is backed by the Gaoligong Mountains, offering a comfortable and tranquil environment, making it an ideal spot for health-focused hot spring soaks.

　Speaking of Chongqing, many might be surprised to visit for winter sports. In fact, spots like Fairy Mountain and Jinfo Mountain in Chongqing are great places to enjoy snowy scenery. In winter, Fairy Mountain National Forest Park turns into a ski resort, where you can choose to sled on your own, ride down slopes on tires, or simply play in the snow-covered forests. Jinfo Mountain, in winter, is a frost-covered wonderland, with crystal-clear icicles and magnificent frozen landscapes reminiscent of an underwater palace—absolutely breathtaking. No need to head north; you can enjoy the ice and snow to your heart’s content right here in Chongqing.

　　After returning from the cold snowy landscapes, Tujia’s Xiexin Mansion will warm you right up. The apartment is located in the central CBD area of Jiefangbei in Chongqing, overlooking the two rivers to the north, nestled in the prime location of the peninsula’s southern bank. It’s a high-end luxury residential community integrating ecological gardens, mountain-water landscapes, and cultural heritage. Whether exploring Chongqing, experiencing its unique culture, or enjoying a relaxing and comfortable holiday, staying at Xiexin is the best choice.
