1/5
Beijing, China
Soak in the culture of Beijing and celebrate Chinese New Year with a bang. We would not recommend planning a family trip with small children to this destination due to the large crowds expected during festive season. Do not forget to check out the beautiful fireworks while you're there. Release a lantern to usher in good luck for the upcoming year.
2/5
Koh Samui, Thailand
If you are looking to get away from the crowd and enjoy a relaxing long weekend, Koh Samui is a beautiful option. Small, serene and away from the hustle and bustle of city life, it will be an excellent pick to while the time away.
3/5
Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam
Everyone should visit Ho Chi Minh City at least once in their lifetime. The history of the city is worth discovering and it boasts of one of the most unique shopping experiences. Our personal pick - Ben Thanh market
4/5
Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
Cross the causeway and plan a trip to our neighbouring country. Visit the capital city and embrace the culture. You'll be surprised to know that the Malaysian Chinese culture differs a little. Oh, and how can we forget the delicious cuisine?
5/5
Phu Quoc, Vietnam
If visiting a city isn't on your list this time around, what about an island? soak up the wonderful sun and wind on Phu Quoc Island. Easily acessible via a 40-minute flight from Ho Chi Minh City, this will be a fantastic option for families with toddlers as well.
