One “Highlight” Of Xiang Yun’s Recent Family Staycation Was Not Getting “Mobbed”, According To Her Son Chen Yixi
The family also has a funny reason for going on a staycay.
Your family is in the mood for a short break, but no thanks to COVID-19, you guys can’t travel anywhere. So what do you do? Staycation lor.
And that’s exactly what Edmund Chen planned for his wife, Xiang Yun, and their two kids, Chen Yixi, 29, and Chen Yixin, 20.
A glimpse of the hotel
On Tuesday (Sep 15), the Chens spent three days and two nights chillaxing and getting some vitamin sea at the Sofitel Singapore Sentosa Resort & Spa.
Insta-active Xiang Yun happily showed off photos of their Sentosa adventure along with pics of their digs — two luxurious open-concept interconnecting suites. The cost of the rooms? $610 a night per suite, according to Sofitel’s website. This adds up to a total of $2,440 for their entire stay.

“Who knew Singapore had such a comfortable, elegant and lush resort. When I walked in, I couldn't help but admire it. It felt like traveling abroad,” wrote Xiang Yun, 56.
“This is our first ‘trip’ since the pandemic happened, and it was a sweet and beautiful staycation,” Edmund, 59, wrote on IG alongside a pic of the entire family enjoying breakfast.View this post on Instagram原来新加坡有这么一间舒适典雅、绿意盎然的度假酒店，一走进来就让我不禁赞叹，感觉就像在国外旅游。❤️ #staycation

When 8days.sg spoke to the couple’s son, Yixi, he told us that one of the “highlights” of the mini getaway was when no one recognised or approached his family for photos.View this post on InstagramA post shared by 陈之财 Edmund Chen (@edmundchen.sg) on Sep 15, 2020 at 10:09pm PDT
“We took the shuttle bus along the beach and everywhere. And my parents finally got to see the whole area!” the actor gushed. “We usually can’t do it 'cos we’d get mobbed. As it was pretty quiet this time, we enjoyed it a lot.”
The family's cat Miwa
While netizens were glad to see the family taking time off from work to bond with each other, some were more curious about who's taking care of their four-month-old cat Miwa.
“One of the reasons we went on a staycay was because of Miwa. She likes attention and meows non-stop every night. We all lack sleep,” Yixi joked. “We handed her over to a friend for a few days lah.”
