More people from the mainland are traveling abroad with their families during the Lunar New Year break. Yang Feiyue reports.
A strong renmenbi and relaxed visa policies in some countries encouraged more Chinese to spend their Spring Festival holiday abroad this year, according to a report from the China National Tourism Administration.
A total of 5.18 million Chinese (not including people from Hong Kong and Macao) left the country on vacation from Feb 18 to 24, up approximately 10 percent compared with the figure for the same period last year, the report said.
