Or perhaps you\u2019re concerned about where would be spending your Christmas day? Here is a rundown of some of the most exciting places you could be celebrating Christmas this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><strong>Great Wall of China<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>How does Christmas on one of the world\u2019s most iconic landmarks sound? Spend Christmas Day on the Great Wall of China before switching traditional turkey for Peking duck on our \u2018<a href=\"https:\/\/www.wendywutours.co.uk\/china\/tours\/in-pursuit-of-pandas-christmas-special.htm\">In Pursuit of Pandas<\/a>\u2019 tour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although Christmas isn\u2019t recognised as a religious holiday in China, you\u2019ll see plenty of illumination in many major cities like Beijing and Shanghai. You may even pay witness to the new trend in China of gifting friends elaborately boxed apples on Christmas Eve. The weather is cool this time of year, particularly in the north (where the Great Wall is), which means you may get to experience it surrounded by snow-covered peaks and valleys.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1000\" height=\"568\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wendywutours.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/shutterstock_1587132970.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-11163\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.wendywutours.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/shutterstock_1587132970.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.wendywutours.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/shutterstock_1587132970-300x170.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.wendywutours.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/shutterstock_1587132970-768x436.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Kinkakuji Temple, Bullet Train AND Christmas Dinner Cruise <\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Forget falling asleep in front of the TV waiting for the King\u2019s speech &#8211; Christmas Day on our \u2018<a href=\"https:\/\/www.wendywutours.co.uk\/japan\/tours\/christmas-in-japan.htm\">Christmas in Japan<\/a>\u2019 tour will be anything but slow. Begin the day with the incredible sight of the iconic Golden Temple, Kinkakuji, before speeding off aboard the iconic bullet train to Hiroshima, where you\u2019ll enjoy a scenic Christmas dinner cruise on Hiroshima Bay.<\/p>\n<p>Christmas isn\u2019t a national holiday in Japan; however, that doesn\u2019t mean that it\u2019s any less festive. Incredible illuminations can be found throughout the country at this time of year, and with a blanket of snow covering most of the countryside \u2013 this is a white Christmas like no other.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-11164\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wendywutours.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/shutterstock_1072995500.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.wendywutours.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/shutterstock_1072995500.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.wendywutours.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/shutterstock_1072995500-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.wendywutours.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/shutterstock_1072995500-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><strong>Halong Bay Cruise<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Celebrate Christmas Day in style with our &#8216;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.wendywutours.co.uk\/vietnam\/tours\/christmas-in-vietnam.htm\">Christmas in Vietnam<\/a>&#8216; tour aboard a Halong Bay cruise.

This is a time of great celebration with locals gathering for festivities and beautiful lights, decorations and trees abundant in the cities.
