农历新年假期期间，一场与日本的外交争端导致更多中国游客转向韩国。这次假期从2月15日开始，持续九天，至周一结束。来自四川的22岁年轻人唐原本几个月前就预订了飞往日本的机票，他此前已独自访问邻国三次，那里长期以来是中国游客的热门目的地。

During the 2026 Lunar New Year holiday from February 15 to 23, Thailand emerged as the top destination for Chinese outbound travelers, attracting about 250,000 visitors, an increase of 60,000 from the previous year. This surge followed flight restrictions and cancellations to Japan, which saw Chinese arrivals drop to 130,000, half the 260,000 from last year. The shift stemmed from ongoing political tensions between China and Japan.
