The festive season is upon us, and with that comes family vacations or trips back home to spend this special time with friends and family. But this year, due to COVID-19, things are bound to be slightly different. For starters, the Chinese borders aren’t open yet, so if you and your family make the decision to leave, you might ultimately be stuck out of the country until further notice. Secondly, even though COVID-19 is mostly under control in China, there are still cautious fears of a new wave of infections in certain parts of the country. As a result, certain schools and companies have issued travel advisories to their staff and affiliated families, warning of a mandatory quarantine if they do travel to said regions.
This however doesn’t mean that you cannot incorporate the all-important family holiday vacations into your plans this year. All you have to do is pick one of these fabulous staycation deals on offer in Beijing to experience the joys of being away from home this holiday season!
