How to live and save money when traveling to the northwest?

The northwest is actually a relatively large place. Today, Bian Xiao will tell you something about the transportation and accommodation in the northwest. You can also pay attention when you go. You can consider some strategies put forward by Bian Xiao and Strike.

Northwest traffic is located in the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, with a vast territory and rich but scattered tourist attractions. We have to change hotels in different places almost every day, so it is particularly important to choose what kind of transportation mode to travel. At present, the most important modes of transportation for traveling to the northwest are bus, chartered car, carpooling and car rental. As for which mode is suitable for you, I'll give you a popular science lesson.

public transportation

Advantages: the cost is relatively low.

Disadvantages: a lot of preparation work and traffic strategy are needed. Due to the poor traffic in the northwest, it will take a lot of time and the play experience is very poor!

Suitable for people: poor student parties or outdoor hikers.

With the team

Advantages: food, shelter, transportation and purchase are all inclusive, and the cost is relatively low.

Disadvantages: obvious, limited, not enough to play, being slaughtered.

Suitable for people: people with small budgets, the elderly.

car-pool

Advantages: When there are few people, you can carpool, (4-8 people carpool) is relatively free, and you can make new friends on the road, which is definitely your best choice.

Disadvantages: carpooling everyone's route is different, and it is difficult to make a trip with different ideas. So be sure to find a local professional carpooling company and refer to the most popular local tourist routes.

Suitable for people: traveling alone or in groups.

To charter a bus/train/coach

Advantages: send a car separately, you can customize the itinerary, stop as you go, and bid farewell to the tour. This is a popular way to travel now.

Disadvantages: Not suitable for all tourists, and the number of 1-2 is on the high side (except local tyrants).

Suitable for people: friends or family members travel together, with 3 or more people. Charter travel will be the first choice for northwest tourism.

Special reminder: chartered cars can be tailored to individual requirements.

Rent a car

Advantages: You can master your own itinerary, stop as you go, and experience the fun of driving on the plateau. There is no one else outside the group, and it is more free.

Disadvantages: Due to unfamiliarity with northwest road conditions and different driving habits, there are certain safety hazards. You need to make a complete strategy in advance before you travel. Drivers will be very tired after driving long distances.

Suitable for people: travel enthusiasts and people who want to experience the pleasure of driving on the plateau.

Seeing this, you should probably know which way to go, right? Friends who want to charter a car can directly click on the product link above, contact the local housekeeper, choose the itinerary or customize the itinerary. Let's take a look at the popular tourist routes in northwest China.

Xining accommodation

Xining is the starting point of tourism in Qinghai and Northwest China. However, the tourist conditions here in Xining are limited, there are not many special campsites such as inns and homestays, and there are quite a few places to stay, so there is no need to book in advance. Just like ordinary cities, you can use the mobile APP to book hotels directly. Don't think too much or crowd over there.

Accommodation a. sightseeing is preferred

Besides the beautiful scenery of plateau lakes, the most famous thing in Qinghai Lake is the sunrise in the morning. Because watching the sunrise requires living near the best scenic spots in advance. It is recommended to choose to live in Heima River or West Lake Road. However, in the tourist season, the accommodation price of Heima River is relatively high, and the price of ordinary standard rooms is between 380-700, so you need to book in advance. The price of Huanhu West Road is lower, but there will be a turn-back if you want to take the Qinggan Great Ring Road.

B. Price priority

Tourists with tight budget or considering saving money can choose to live in Jiangxi ditch, which is much cheaper than Heima River and only half an hour's drive from Heima River. If you want to save money to watch the sunrise, you need to get up early to reach the Heima River.

C. Tourist recommendation

No matter how many days you stay in the northwest, Chaka Salt Lake is definitely one of the must-see places. The accommodation in Heima River is expensive and the conditions are poor, so Jiangxi Ditch and Erlangjian will be in a hurry. That tea town will definitely be an excellent accommodation choice. In the past two years, the number of tourists in Chaka Salt Lake has surged, and the corresponding tourist packages have also developed rapidly. Why not stay and shoot a group of the most beautiful starry sky at night while eating?

Dachaidan accommodation

Dachaidan is the camp for the second day of the regular Qinggan Great Ring Road. Because it is located in a remote no-man's land, the housing is limited and the price is very high. Visitors are advised not to have too high requirements for accommodation here. If you want to live here, you must remember to book a room online in advance!

Because of the popularity of northwest tourism, Dachaidan is often hard to find a room. If you don't book a room in advance, you can adjust to Delingha. Accommodation conditions are good and the price is appropriate.

Dunhuang accommodation

Passing through Dachaidan and no-man's land, you will arrive at Dunhuang, a famous cultural city in Gansu, and the accommodation options will be greatly increased. Business hotels, B&B hotels and camping in the desert are all acceptable. Visitors can choose according to their own wishes. Moreover, the tourist facilities in Dunhuang are relatively perfect and there are plenty of houses, so everyone can enjoy the fatigue of the first two days here.

Jiayuguan accommodation

There are not many special accommodations in Jiayuguan, and chain hotels are all over the streets. Here, everyone should think too much and save for the next beautiful scenery.

Zhangye accommodation

A. Zhangye City

Zhangye is centered on the Drum Tower and divided into four streets in the southeast and northwest, plus a ring road. Hotels are mainly concentrated near the Drum Tower in downtown areas, and there are still many accommodation options. There are guest houses in Standard Room 200-400 yuan, South Street and North Street of Gulou during the tourist season. Just walk along the street and you will find it cheaper. There are many people near the bus station and railway station, so it is safe to go out. I suggest you try not to stay. In addition, there are no youth hostels in Zhangye City.

B. Qicai Town

According to the local people, Qicai Town was built on the basis of Qicai Danxia, which is far from the urban area and there is nothing interesting in the local area. However, the accommodation is quite distinctive, mainly farmhouse music.

Qilian accommodation

As the favorite summer resort of Qinghai locals, Qilian County has accommodation conditions that can meet almost everyone's needs. Business hotels and family hotels are popular choices. Qilian is a gathering place for Tibetans and Hui people. Family hotels are popular with tourists because of their high quality, low price and practicality. Especially for ethnic minority residents, staying at home can better understand the unique local customs. You can appreciate the profound cultural connotation of the ancient city in the west.
