Our company took the Chinese new year holiday and put it together with our annual holiday so I will have a long holiday. / our company combined the CNY holiday with our annual holiday to give us a long holiday

but I  don’t have any plans yet. I remember you like travel so I think this holiday maybe I can only go to some places which are near Shanghai/ close to SH.

For example maybe it will only last for 2 or 3 days because I want to travel with my parents and my parents still need to work. / it can only be a short trip / 2-3 day trip because I want to travel with my parents and my parents still need to work

I think about an island in Korea / I have my eyes on a Korean island.
Winter is the low season so maybe the price is more acceptable / is cheaper / more bearable.
If I want to go out I know it will be crowded

For girls they can buy many cosmetics

The reason why it is the low season is because Korea is very cold (at that time) so I wonder if it is suitable.

For example do you know Chongqing , a city with many delicious dishes / it is famous for good food.
I flew / travelled there and wanted to eat many things but I could only eat 3  meals a day / but I can’t eat more than 3 meals a day.
I couldn’t  eat all of the things I had planned./ I had to give up some of the dishes I wanted to try.
But if it had lasted more days I wouldn’t have had this problem.
