The environment of Shanghai during the spring festival is the most comfortable of the year.

Traditional events are organised lots of family gathering, and because the spring holiday is longer than other holidays so we can plan some long distance travels. Because we can’t take foreign travels this year.

At least two years ago, because of Covid 19, our travelling plans were all cancelled

I travelled to Japan in 2019. Japan is a very popular travel destination for Chinese people. Because the culture in Japan is very different with China, because the distance between China and Japan is very close, so for people it is a very convenient travel destination, you don’t take a very long time flight.

My favourite city in Japan is Kyoto, because you can feel the history of Japan in it. I think a good travel city means comfortable environment, convenient transport, beautiful views and the most important is the culture
