Many people go on winter vacations to get away from the cold weather or the city life. But how do you pick a winter vacation destination (目的地) for your family?

1. Budget: Know how much you want to spend on your vacation. Then you can know how far you can travel and what kind of activities you can enjoy.

2. Family Likes & Dislikes: You don't want to visit the sea if your family are afraid of water, so you need to know what their likes and dislikes are.

3. Activities: Know about activities around the vacation destination. For example, if you want to go swimming, can you? If you want to go to parks, are they open?

4. Accommodations (住宿): Hotels are expensive. Look for vacation home rentals (出租的房屋). You can get so much more that you would never get at a hotel. You can also cook by yourselves to save money from eating out.
