What types of plans do people often make with friends and family?

Well, I'd say people usually make plans around shared activities that bring them together-like meals, trips, or celebrations. For example, in Shanghai, my friends and I often plan weekend hotpot dinners because it's a relaxed way to catch up after busy workweeks. We rotate restaurants, so everyone gets to pick their favorite spot, which keeps it fair and fun. Another common one is holiday travel-like during National Day, families might book train tickets months ahead to visit relatives. Of course, not all plans work out perfectly-sometimes work deadlines get in the way-but even simple plans, like meeting for coffee, give people something to look forward to.
