Christmas is not an official holiday in China, but celebrating the season in this Eastern Asia country is still something everyone shouldn't miss to the world.
Aside from its unique and artistic way of celebrating the season, China offers a lot of parties and festivities for visitors, especially in its major cities. Top places that guests usually visit during this time of the year are Yellow Mountains, Chengdu, Harbin, Xishuangbanna, Hong Kong, and Beijing.
During this season, most of the mainland China won't be crowded. So, booking for tickets and hotel or someplace you can stay won't be a problem. But that's just until the official opening of Harbin Ice Festival, where people from all around the world will gather as they will enjoy the ice art and sculptures in the park.
HONG KONG
Two of the reasons why people would travel across the world to visit Hong Kong are its mild winter weather and the shopping establishments in it.
Considered as "one of the best shopping places in Asia," by China Highlights, Hong Kong has so much to offer. Shopaholics would surely have an amazing experience as they do their shopping spree as almost all shops in the country offers discounts and promos.
BEIJING
Since there are just a few tourists visiting China during December, coming into the place during this time will give you an opportunity to explore everything more peacefully. With its picturesque winter view as its background, you will surely get to enjoy every historical site more. Just make sure to bring your best winter outfit so you will have the best photo to post on your social media accounts.
Aside from visiting historical sites and enjoying its winter view, another thing to do best in Beijing this winter is to ski. Though almost all ski resorts are open this time, there are just a few that are recommended for visitors to have the best experience. These resorts include Wanlong Ski Resort, Nanshan Ski Resort, Shijinglong Ski Resort, and Jundushan Ski Resort.
In visiting China or other countries this season, there is but one thing you should never forget. That is to cover yourself protection against culprits especially thieves, according to China Travel.
Secure your stuff and always be aware of the people around you. Pickpockets are just lurking around waiting for someone to victimize. It is way better to enjoy Christmas without being a victim of these bad guys.
