There are still websites with and without travel guides There are still websites with and without travel guides

1. Is there any travel guide website?

I recommend Autohome. Today’s self-driving travel guide activities basically come from car websites. I had a special desire to travel some time ago, so I accidentally broke into the [Autohome] forum and saw a few very good posts: a family of four going on a road trip to China, self-modification into an RV, and others. Good posts, but what impressed me most were the two mentioned just now; of course, there are many posts, not all of them have been read, and many of the best posts have been missed. In short, this website is more suitable for the requirements of the subject. There are some other car forums. Even on motorcycle forums, I have seen goonroadtrip#039 travel notes. In this case, it is estimated that the motorcycle is an old bird who buys new cars, but he does not. I don’t want to join a new road trip forum. Newcomers are welcome to join.

2. Which travel guide website is better

There are many travel apps, and the ones I commonly use are the following: Ctrip: a comprehensive travel app that covers inquiries about tourist attractions, routes, accommodation and other related issues. You can book and purchase various tickets online. It is also a relatively well-known travel APP. However, the travel products there are relatively expensive, but the introduction to attractions is relatively comprehensive because of the large number of users.

Qunar Travel: Travel software with many query functions, online search guide, timely scenic spot weather information, flight query and scenic spot query, and positioning function. Helps in planning routes to tourist attractions. Book air tickets and hotels at low prices, but sometimes the quality is not very good, so you have to identify them yourself.

Ma Zi Xing: An APP focusing on travel information, covering information on many domestic and foreign tourist attractions. You can find reliable and fun travel guides, and you can also book accommodation rooms at tourist attractions online.

The travel notes and strategies inside are well written and worth referencing.

Qiongyou: The domestic outbound travel service platform covers various foreign travel guides, as well as various travel guides and tourism community services. For those who don't know how to travel, you can get the answers through Q&A. A communication platform.

The information inside is also useful and can be used as a reference.

:3. Are there any websites with special travel guides?

1. Tuniu, Youya, and Ctrip are generally recommended.

2. Tuniu and Youya belong to the agency model, purchasing products from wholesalers and then selling them to end customers. Many small and medium-sized offline travel agencies also fall into this category. 3. Although Ctrip’s overall cost is slightly higher, it wins due to its formal scale, customer feedback and after-sales service. 1. Tuniu Travel Network was established in Nanjing in October 2006 to make travel easier and provide consumers with travel product booking services in 64 cities including Beijing, Tianjin, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, and Nanjing. Tuniu.com provides more than 80,000 travel products for consumers to choose from, including group tours, self-guided tours, self-driving tours, cruises, hotels, visas, attraction tickets, corporate tours, etc. It has successfully served more than 4 million people. 2. Youzai.com Zhongxin Travel has chosen a differentiated development path, focusing on leisure travel and vacation. Its products include group tours and independent tours. It has a rich product line of outbound travel, domestic travel, peripheral travel, self-driving travel, etc., covering more than 30 domestic departure cities. With its rich product resources, Youzai.com focuses on comprehensively improving customer experience and providing customers with diversified, personalized, humanized and considerate services. 3. Ctrip is an online ticketing service company founded in 1999 and headquartered in Shanghai, China. Ctrip.com has more than 600,000 member hotels at home and abroad for booking and is China's leading hotel reservation service center.

4. Travel website Qunar

Woyou self-driving website is good. There are plenty of places to visit and find convenient campsites. Actually, I don't I don't like traveling together. It is more convenient for two people to drive. You can go anywhere you want and take a break. It’s more convenient to live and eat in a car. You can go and play anytime. It is carefree and you are very happy.

Many friends don’t like the font. With this kind of mentality, one cannot speak English well. They want to go abroad and see the world, but they are afraid that their language is not clear and they may lose themselves abroad~so this theme is also afraid

Haha, actually, don't worry too much.

My English is also new, but I have played in many countries. You don't need to be very good at English if you don't want to go abroad, just know some basic knowledge. This is even more obvious if you are going to a non-English speaking country. Everyone's English in America is a mess, and they don't use gestures to guess. Please answer the questions seriously~

1. Travel in a group or travel independently?

This should be combined with our own situation. If two girls go abroad together, I think we should first pay attention to all safety and make a choice based on the abilities of the two people.

Tour in a group: If you are afraid of trouble and don’t want to make your own travel plans, you can choose to travel in a group. But what about group tours? The first impression many people give is that it is cheap. There are too many advertisements for 999 flights to islands and 7-day tours to 10 European countries. Everyone knows that group tours are a big deal. Behind low-priced tours are all kinds of hidden consumption and forced shopping. So when choosing, be careful to identify tour routes that are too cheap to avoid getting trapped. Try to choose some economical routes.

Furthermore, if you travel in a group, there will usually be dozens of people packed in, plus a few nagging aunts or the troublesome Xiong Haizi, which will inevitably dampen your mood during the trip.

I enjoy my freedom. From booking air tickets, looking for guides to make plans, and booking hotels, I like to make plans by myself. Although I have to research various air tickets, transportation routes, cultural customs, and characteristics every time, I enjoy it myself. If you also like to control your own itinerary, you'd better recommend your own self-guided tour.

Self-guided tour: The advantages of self-guided tour are obvious:

1. Freedom. Flexible work and rest; you can arrange some special experiences for yourself according to your own ideas. Whether you spend extravagantly or frugally is up to you. You can choose special four-star or five-star hotels, or you can choose local specialty B&Bs. Every day, I can sleep in. If I don’t buy anything, I don’t necessarily need a tour guide. I can go wherever I want. I don't I don't need to meet at any time. I don't have to wait for my grandparents in a group. The most important thing is that I can choose a restaurant that suits my taste. These are difficult to do on group tours.

2. Have a sense of accomplishment. For example, I like to figure out the cheapest flights. I can travel to and from a certain country for a few hundred yuan each time, which feels like a good deal. Or I choose a hotel I like and look forward to staying there. All the itineraries were arranged according to my own wishes, and I felt very satisfied.

Of course, in this process, I will be exhausted from immersing myself in the strategy, struggling with accommodation, and various traffic. In fact, my own workload is quite heavy. Not only do I have to rely on myself in the early stage, but I also have to enjoy the hardships. If you have any problems while playing, you have to solve them yourself. Of course, it’s quite a workout. I enjoyed it too.

Generally speaking, group tours are suitable for people with little travel experience, or people who prefer to make their own plans, which is simple and convenient. Whether it is a self-guided tour or a group tour, there are pros and cons. There is no absolute good or bad, and there is no absolute difference.

2. Which countries are you going to?

If it is your first time to go abroad, if the subject is really worried about the language problem, you can start from Southeast Asian countries, such as Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, etc. There are more Chinese people in these countries, and the locals can basically speak a few words of Chinese. Visa is also very convenient, all you need is your passport and photo.

If you are going to European and American countries, you can actually hire a local Chinese tour guide. This will not only solve your language problem, but also help you play more authentically and experience more of the local customs. For example, if you can contact local international students in advance, you will win. You don’t have to worry about getting lost or language problems, and you can also take some travel photos. I think it's good.

Before traveling, check whether the country you are going to is visa-free and whether visa-on-arrival is available. Do these things in advance~

Attachment: Recently, Chinese passports are visa-free and visa-on-arrival. Countries

(1) Countries that exempt ordinary passports and visas from each other (8 countries)

Third, download a few so that you can have A practical app for travel security.

There are many useful travel apps, but since the questioner is a British white man like me, I would not recommend those apps that are purely in English. It is really difficult to understand, and the ones developed in China in pure Chinese are no worse than those developed abroad:)

1. Book air tickets before traveling:

Skyscanner

Flight search platform supports price inquiry on low-cost airlines and traditional airlines.

Skyscanner is a well-known online travel company in Europe. At first, it was just a global air ticket price inquiry platform. Now, it supports ticket purchase. Just like at home, jump to agents and third-party platforms to purchase tickets. There are middlemen, so you need to be careful when buying tickets.

I like the results of searching for air tickets on Skyscanner, it is very simple and straightforward. How much does a plane ticket cost? Compared with several major domestic giants, the search results display a full screen of content, which is much simpler.

Take me to fly

A convenient search engine for overseas special air tickets that supports automatic ticket grabbing.

I used my own APP to book tickets, so don’t worry if I win this time. Two words: easy to use!

2. Booking website

Airbnb (American short-term rental platform)

Accommodation | Homestay

Now we all know hotels Reservation website, you can book apartments and hotels with local characteristics and good value for money. Although some cleaning fees and service fees will be charged, it is also a good choice to experience the local living environment in a foreign country. For many people who travel, you can book a swimming pool in Biye for very cheap, and in many expensive capital cities you can stay in the city center. The APP is very easy to use. You can search for properties according to the pictures, and you can also directly communicate with the landlord for recommendations.

Agoda

Agoda (Agoda)

Accor is a professional online travel service company that provides online hotel booking services. Its main business areas are Covering the entire Asia Pacific region. In November 2007, Accor was officially acquired and became its third subsidiary.

Booking

Booking.com: 1,043,972 hotels worldwide. 105 million hotel reviews.

The user experience is really good. You can cancel in advance according to the prompts on the website, and it is also convenient to compare prices and locations.

There are usually some Chinese evaluations, and your seniors have already helped you with your homework.

If there is no room for your favorite exhibit, try sending an email to the hotel. Maybe it just left for Booking.com and the price went up again.

Hostelworld

Global Hostels

Mainly focuses on individual travel, economic travel, and youth travel. The initial business focus is on various independent, officially operated youth tours Hostels, and now, its business also covers camping camps, self-catering hotels, B&Bs, budget hotels, etc. In recent years, it has also begun working with brands such as Lonely Planet, Ryanair and World Nomads.

After selecting a hotel, there will be some brief introductions, comprehensive ratings, and user reviews, which can be used as a reference. Most of these functions are available on hotel booking apps, so I won’t say too much about them.

I prefer its route guidance function, which is very detailed and the directions are left and right, no matter southeast or northwest, which is really touching for people.

Of course there are many booking platforms now, such as Qunar, Ctrip, Xiuying, etc. Personally recommend booking.

3. Essential applications for local games:

TripAdvisor (Cat-Step)

Trip-Advisor (Cat-Step)

Tripadvisor is the world's largest and most popular travel community in the United States, and the world's #1 travel review website. Real reviews from travelers are TripAdvisor’s greatest feature. Currently, TripAdvisor has become a large online database with a lot of information about tourist destinations, including hotels, attractions and restaurants.

Similar to Dianping. Recommendations for hotels, attractions, and restaurants are ranked in the order of user reviews. (Some places have hundreds of attractions, so take your time~)

Google Maps

There is not much to say. Roadhog must be the first choice. And there’s not much they can do about being stuck at home. Basically, it works without issue in most countries. Here are a few practical little functions recommended, such as saving stars and saving offline maps. In addition, all air tickets and hotel reservations accepted by Gmail will be displayed directly on Google Maps, which is so beautiful.

You can save your favorite places as little stars, making them easy to find.

When you are ready to go, you can enter ok map in the search box and save it as an offline map.

Select terrain to see contour maps, select real-time traffic conditions to see traffic jams, and bus routes to directly display routes and waiting times, so you don’t have to look at maps and words. I don't understand it every time. You can also see various peripheral facilities and practical functions such as booking hotels and restaurants.

Super

It doesn’t matter if you are not familiar with traveling abroad, you can call Uber. Depending on the navigation, the driver can also pick you up. It's ok if the language is not good, cash transactions are avoided. Pay directly by credit card, Uber has a complaint and credit system behind it, very reliable.

Youdao Translation/Google Translate

Google wants to circumvent the wall in China, but it is a magical tool abroad. Camera translation is inaccurate 90% of the time, so don't take it too seriously. Youdao Dictionary is one of the best products in China. Now there are Chinese/French/English/Japanese/Korean translations, and the interface is quite fresh. I also recommend another translation tool for offline travel -. There is a translation, and the Chinese-English translation can be offline, which is very practical.

In fact, with these translation software, the subject will not be traveling, and I don’t have to worry too much about his language barrier.

In addition, the flight attendant will give you an entry card when you take the plane. Just take out your passport and fill in the relevant information carefully. The above information is almost the same. Generally speaking, entry forms are associated with exit forms. When you fly, the flight attendant will hand them out on the plane, and then you can fill them out. If it is not distributed on the plane, you can also get the immigration form on the right side of the immigration after you get off the plane.

When entering the country, you only need to hand over the entry form and passport with visa to the immigration staff for inspection. Keep the exit form by yourself and hand it to the staff when leaving the country.

5. Which website do you go to when traveling?

If it is more than 3 days before the scheduled check-in date, you can get a refund. If you don't spend it, there will be no fee. If a refund is necessary, it is recommended to call the hotel as a guest and request a reservation. Then you can ask the hotel about the rules for checking out and booking a room, and then you can negotiate with the website.

If you have already paid a deposit or payment, you need to check the specific hotel's termination terms. Some hotels do not require cancellation, some do not require payment within a certain period of time, and some definitely require consumption. It’s about the hotel, not where to go.

Qunar.com has many regulations. If you paid for your hotel on Qunar.com, you won't get a refund. Unless you arrive at the place and find there are no rooms available, you will be refunded at that time, but you don't and I don't want any other compensation. Because there are too many such things every day, and the amount is too large, he cannot compensate. Therefore, caution is required when making hotel payment reservations.

Qunar.com is headquartered in Beijing and was founded in May 2005 by Zhuang and Douglas Khoo.

As China's first travel search engine, Chinese travelers can compare domestic flight and hotel prices and services online for the first time.

Qunar.com’s mission is to intelligently arrange consumers’ travel and strive to provide consumers with the most comprehensive and cost-effective products, reliable services and convenient technical tools. Through full platform coverage of websites and mobile clients, Qunar can provide travelers with in-depth searches of domestic and international air tickets, hotels, vacations, travel group purchases, and travel information anytime and anywhere.

On October 26, 2015, Ctrip.com and Qunar.com announced their merger. Baidu exchanged a 45% stake in Qunar.com for a 25% stake in Ctrip.

Where to choose the MSCI China Index on November 12, 2015?
