"The costs of domestic travel are about the same with as traveling abroad. I have travelled in southern regions of China in the previous Spring Festivals. There were not adequate service personnel in China. Many restaurants closed down and it was rather difficult for us to take taxies. We also need to pay more money - several times more than before - for hotels. Rather than spending an unhappy Spring Festival traveling at home, why not go abroad to enjoy a really fun holiday? “said a man of Beijing city, who traveled overseas during Spring Festival 2016.

Xiao Yu took her parents on a trip to Phuket Island rather than go back home. "Girls in my hometown always get married early. The old age girls like me must be educated by families at home. Rather than listening to their complaints and questions, why not avoid so much attention from relatives by traveling overseas with my parents? " said Xiao Yu, who works in Beijing.　

小雨帶父母去普吉島度假，而不是返鄉。在北京工作的小雨說：“家鄉的女孩普遍結婚早，像我這樣的大齡女回去肯定被家裏人教育。與其回鄉過節聽他們的抱怨和問題，何不帶着爸媽一起出國旅遊，避開家裏親戚的過度關注呢？”
