During the May Day holiday, hundreds of millions of people traveled. What clever ways to save money during the trip?

Every holiday, my friends will ask me where to travel and how to save money during the trip. Because everyone knows that I have been to more than 30 cities and accumulated a lot of travel experience.

There are hundreds of millions of people traveling during the May Day holiday, and the food, clothing, housing and transportation near various scenic spots are bound to rise, and the price is even three times that of usual. I used to be the front desk of an inn in Yangshuo, and I know that the price of May Day is almost twice as high as usual, which is particularly exaggerated. Friends who want to travel but want to save money should pay attention. Let me tell you a clever plan to save money:

I. Housing

Accommodation must be set in advance, accommodation must be set in advance, accommodation must be set in advance, and important things must be said three times. Online shopping, shop around. When I was at the front desk of Yangshuo Inn, I found that if I booked the roof one month in advance, it would probably rise by 20%, but on the day of May Day holiday, the price would definitely rise to around 100%.

If you have friends in the target tourist city, you can stay at a friend's house or ask a friend to help you find a place to live, so you can have a lot of accommodation.

Second, eat.

When we go to a city, we all want to try local food. As a veteran foodie, I am no exception. To tell the truth, as a poor student, I came up with a way to eat special dishes and spend less money.

Try to get to know a local person, be a friend or travel, and ask the local people to introduce authentic food shops with beautiful prices. This is very applicable when I was in Guilin.

Some local inns and food stores are cooperative. Just ask the front desk what delicious restaurants there are, and they will tell you that you can get a discount by reporting to your inn. In the end, we can only watch group buying, which is much cheaper than going directly to the store for dinner.

Third, consumption.

Generally speaking, if you buy tickets for local attractions online in advance, the price will be cheaper than on-site purchase, so friends who want to save money must buy them in advance. However, online shopping is also troublesome. If there are many people waiting in line for a long time to buy tickets, it is necessary to plan the time before planning to go to a certain scenic spot and buy tickets early.

For local specialties and jewelry, I suggest buying less. It's heavy after all. Just buy some for my family to taste. For jewelry, it is recommended to buy small pieces. After all, many times we don't know whether it is true or not. For example, I bought a silver bracelet in Sichuan before, and I felt it was worthless when I came back.

Fourth, traffic.

Regarding transportation, I think that in order to save money, one is to let the newspaper group go to the scenic spot by car for free; The other is to carpool with people in the inn.

Want to save money, methods and channels are very important! I believe that if you master the method, you won't waste money on the trip!
