Chinese New Year getaways are the perfect way to dodge pineapple tarts overload and your auntie’s favourite “When are you getting married?” interrogation.
Why not upgrade your CNY plans with a trip that’s all about you? Pack your bags and turn your CNY into a getaway to remember. From cultural hotspots to beachside escapes, here are 4 perfect destinations to make this Chinese New Year your best one yet.
1. China - The OG Chinese New Year destination
Let’s start with the obvious. Celebrating CNY in China is like watching the World Cup final at the stadium. It’s next-level. Lantern festivals light up the streets, dragon dances fill the air with excitement, and the food… let’s just say your taste buds will be living their best life.
Why China? Because no one does Chinese New Year like the country that invented it.
Must-try: Xi’an’s lantern festival, Beijing’s temple fairs, and enough dumplings to make you question your waistline choices.
Don’t just celebrate it... give yourself in the ultimate CNY experience!
2. Singapore - Big celebrations, small budget
Okay, we’re biased, but Singapore nails it every year. The streets of Chinatown? Glowing. The Chingay Parade? A non-stop party. And the food? Let’s just say you’re going to need stretchy pants.
Why Singapore? It’s close, festive, and you don’t need to sell a kidney to afford it.
Must-see: Lion dances, bak kwa stalls, and the River Hongbao carnival that gets bigger and better every year.
Celebrate CNY Singapore-style and keep your wallet happy.
3. Taiwan - Lanterns and food goals
Want to kick off the year by sending your wishes to the heavens? The Pingxi Lantern Festival is where it’s at. You’ll write your hopes and dreams on a lantern, release it into the sky, and watch as it joins thousands more lighting up the night. Add some next level street food to the mix, and you’ve got the perfect trip.
Why Taiwan? Lanterns, food, and vibes so good they’ll make you tear up (in a good way).
Must-try: Beef noodles, stinky tofu (don’t knock it till you try it), and of course, the lantern festival itself.
Make your wishes soar (literally) in Taiwan this CNY.
4. Phu Quoc - Skip the Noise, Hit the Beach
Not feeling the crowds or the red and gold overload? No worries...Phu Quoc is your tropical escape. Crystal clear water, white sandy beaches, and fresh seafood are waiting for you. Forget reunion dinners...how about a sunset dinner by the beach?
Why Phu Quoc? Quiet beaches, laid-back vibes, and zero questions about your life choices.
Must-do: Snorkelling, sunsets, and eating seafood so fresh it practically waves at you.
Trade firecrackers for ocean waves this CNY.
Start the year your way.
