6 . Spring Festival is traditionally a family holiday, but there are plenty of ways for travellers to celebrate Chinese New Year, which falls on February 12, 2021.
Watch a lion or dragon dance
Lion and dragon dances have been part of the festival since the Tang Dynasty. Closely related to kung fu, these dances demand strength and balance. Dragon dances are performed by a group of people who work together to bring the dragon's powerful yet graceful movements to life. Look out for the final and also the most exciting part of the dance called cai qing which means “picking the greens”. Competing groups will battle each other very hard to get the red envelope hidden in the green vegetables.
Eat and dress yourself up lucky
Like any festival in China, Chinese New Year is all about food. So prepare to eat yourself lucky. A whole fish is a popular choice. It means you'll have plenty of riches. Likewise, dumplings are also a lucky dish because they are said to look like the ancient silver coins. For more good luck, wear red underwear. If you happen to have been born in the Year of the Cow, you'd better wear them all year, as your ben ming nian is believed to be a year of bad luck. Also, on New Year's Day, don't clean anything-even yourself - or you'll be washing away the good luck.
Travel smart and cheap
Generally speaking, it is best to avoid travel in China at all during the busy Spring Festival period known as chunyun. But if you fly on New Year's Day, when offices are closed and Chinese families stay together, it can be surprisingly cheap with few passengers, particularly on popular routes, such as Beijing to Shanghai. You should avoid trying to head to major cities by public transport later than five days before or after New Year's Day, when millions of urban workers make their way home or back to work.

7 . Passengers could soon be flying off to holiday destinations or island on a pilotless plane. So far, online travel agency Kiwi.com has partnered with Czech airplane technology company Zuri to develop a concept plane that could fly completely unmanned.
The plane, which is expected to carry up to four passengers, would have a wing span of roughly 11 meters and would weigh only 900 kilograms. Autonomous aircraft and technologies of such kind could really help cut costs for airlines by reducing the number of crew and opening up the potential option of a single pilot operation.
Developers hope the prototype will be able to fly up to 698 kilometers, which is the distance between London and Germany. It would use vertical(垂直的) take-off and landing technology, which means the plane can land vertically, so not as much space as a regular plane is needed, meaning you could land in more places.
Its design combines the advantages of helicopters and aircraft, with electrically driven rotors(旋翼) that allow vertical takeoff and landing. The plane would be ideal for travelling between islands as customers wouldn’t need to worry about changing from commercial flights to boats, taxis or car rides.
Oliver Dlouhy, CEO and Co-Founder of Kiwi.com, said: “The Zuri project represents a direction that I see as key in the future of transport. Combined with the global transportation network, it will bring completely new chances for travelling by adding thousands of smaller cities into the airport’ catchment areas.”
But pilotless or single pilot operation of airplanes won’t be easy in an industry where at least two pilots in the cockpit(驾驶舱) are required. Many airlines around the world made this a rule after a pilot flew a plane into the French Alps in March 2015, killing all 150 people on board. What’s more, it’s also unclear whether passengers would accept or permit it.
