探亲 (tàn qīn): 家に帰って家族を訪ねたり

Before the Spring Festival, I took a few days off and planned to go back to my hometown to visit my family, and also spend some time having meals with my parents.

He works abroad all year round; this time he made a special trip back to China to visit his elderly grandmother.

Because she misses home, she takes the high-speed train home to visit her family every month, even if she can only stay for a weekend.

On this business trip to Shanghai, I also took the opportunity to visit family and saw my uncle whom I hadn't seen for years.
