When you're traveling by air, your mind often, if not all the time, focuses on the destination: What time you're going to land, whether you're going to welcome colder or hotter weather when you reach the airport, and that hopefully, everything goes according to your itinerary.

In Chinese culture, the winter solstice is a prominent celebration of the shortest day of the year and longer daylight hours.
