Live Your Best Lives
I would like to call 2023 "a year full of anticipation and hope," because starting from January 8th (yesterday), we finally bid farewell to the three-year-long entry quarantine and fully resumed outbound travel!

Major domestic airports worked overtime in the early morning to dismantle isolation facilities. Once they were open, three years of strict border closure finally became history!
Of course, major airlines can’t hold back any longer! They have already started increasing outbound flights for 2023, and it is expected that by the end of 2023, the level of flights will return to pre-pandemic levels. Let’s look forward to it!

Meanwhile, Weibo is buzzing with activity! Many countries are expressing their readiness to welcome Chinese tourists back with open arms!

Among them, Thailand stands out the most. Not only did it officially declare that it would "treat global tourists equally", but all of a sudden, the prices of air tickets to Thailand for the Spring Festival increased several times!
Just today, the Deputy Prime Minister of Thailand even personally welcomed the first group of Chinese tourists who arrived on January 8 at the airport. Apart from anything else, Thailand is serious about tourism!
After being away from the world for such a long time, in the new year, we are finally going to embrace the world again. Are you ready?
