Take just two days off around New Year's Day for a 5-day break — a great excuse for a trip to Hong Kong~ Every year's countdown fireworks over Victoria Harbour are a highlight. Board a boat cruise to watch the fireworks light up the sky while taking in the stunning harbour skyline and enjoying a delicious meal on board — the view is unforgettable.

Tomb Sweeping Day break: Ueno Park, Japan

Planning a trip over Tomb Sweeping Day? Do not miss Ueno Park in Tokyo! A famous cherry blossom spot dating back to the Edo period, the park bursts into a sea of pink blossoms every March and April, with petals drifting on the breeze like a soft pink rain — a truly dreamlike sight.
Ueno Park usually hosts its Cherry Blossom Festival from mid-March through mid-April, with antique and flower markets plus traditional Japanese street performances — a wonderful spot for the whole family.

Dragon Boat Festival break: Tateyama Kurobe, Japan

Every spring, from April to June, Tateyama Kurobe's famous "Snow Corridor" season sees the hiking route flanked by towering walls of snow. If you want to witness these dramatic snow walls in person, this is the window to visit. We recommend wearing waterproof, non-slip footwear and warm clothing, and bringing sunglasses too, since the glare off the snow can be intense~

Mid-Autumn Festival and Double Tenth break: chasing autumn leaves in Korea

Korea's maple leaves usually start turning red in late September, with mid-October onwards being the best time to see them. Namsan Park in central Seoul is easy to reach and lets you take in sweeping autumn views on foot — from the cable car ride up to N Seoul Tower, the whole way is lined with red leaves, and a stroll here in the golden evening light is genuinely lovely~
