Chinese Flock to Thailand, Korea; Japan Declines
February 26, 2026·7 days ago·via Travel And Tour World

During Spring Festival 2026, Chinese tourists swarm Thailand and South Korea, filling beaches, markets, and ski slopes with festive cheer. Southeast Asia shines with warm welcomes, while Japan sees a sharp visitor decline amid shifting preferences. Vibrant streets pulse with dragon dances and lantern glows from Bangkok to Busan. Practical pointers: Secure visas early for Thailand's islands or Korea's hanok villages, packing light for humid treks.
