As it becomes more and more convenient for Chinese citizens to travel abroad, some compatriots also choose to spend the Spring Festival holiday overseas. "For those of us who have been working hard outside all year round, it is better to go home to celebrate the New Year," says Chang Cheng Fuqiang, president of the UAE Shanghai General Chamber of Commerce and Hometowns Association.
"I don’t feel tired even after traveling for more than 10 hours," says Zhang Hong, who traveled to Singapore to celebrate Spring Festival.
