Traditional Culture Encyclopedia - Hotel reservation - I want to travel at the end of May, but I don’t know where to go.

I want to travel at the end of May, but I don’t know where to go.

I think it is good to go to Dalian. The scenery is beautiful, with waves and beaches, and the environment is particularly beautiful. It is not as complicated and chaotic as Beijing. Very suitable for lovers' vacation.

Let me tell you some money-saving tips, you can refer to:

It is very necessary to make detailed plans when traveling. If you are not prepared carefully, you may end up getting half the result with twice the effort.

For example, when going to Tibet, the obvious route is to first go to Chengdu and then take a flight to Lhasa. In fact, there is more than one way to enter Tibet. With a little understanding, you can choose a more innovative plan. Take the Qinghai-Tibet Highway from Xining, Qinghai, and enter Tibet via the Kunlun Mountains, Tuotuo River, and Geladandong Snow Mountain. It only takes 4 days to travel all the way by car. Everyone who goes to Tibet has the desire to explore and find its secrets. Doesn’t this mean that the capacity is doubled?

There are also many tips for choosing transportation. From the perspectives of improving efficiency, expanding content, and saving money, sometimes flying does not necessarily save time, and taking a train is not necessarily slower; long-distance cars are suitable for sightseeing, and luxury cruises are also cost-effective. For example, although it only takes half an hour to fly from Kunming to Lijiang and Dali, it is very expensive and misses a lot of scenery along the way. If you take a sleeper car and travel during the day and drive at night, you will be more excited and less tired along the way. It is really economical and interesting!

Nowadays, there are many high-end cruise ships on the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River. Many people think that the prices are very expensive and are unwilling to take part in them. In fact, if you do a careful calculation, you will find that they are worth it. The price of a three-star cruise this year is around 1,400 yuan, and the boat from Wuhan to Chongqing is even cheaper. There is no extra cost for food and accommodation on the ship, and all expenses for excursions along the way are included in the ticket price. Riding on such a boat is both comfortable and allows you to enjoy the sightseeing in a relatively leisurely manner. The advantages are clear at a glance.

When choosing accommodation when going on a self-guided trip, firstly, it must be hygienic and safe; secondly, there must be a place to take a shower. It is not difficult to achieve these two points, and a guest house with 20 to 30 yuan a night is enough. If you want to stay in a star-rated hotel, you can also pursue reasonable prices. As long as it is not a busy season with tourists, most front desks of hotels with two stars or above have the right to give guests appropriate discounts.

How to save money during self-guided travel

In travel, as long as you make careful calculations, you can save money without affecting the quality of travel.

Use the time difference to save

If you don’t want to spend too much money and want to travel well, then you must first be good at using the time difference to save. One is to avoid peak and off-peak seasons. Generally speaking, an attraction has off-season and peak season. When traveling in the off-season, not only is it easier to get a bus, but because there are fewer tourists, some hotels have discounts on accommodation, which can be as high as 50% or more. When it comes to food, hotels also have different discounts. Therefore, for this reason alone, travel in the off-season costs at least 30% less than in the peak season. The second is to plan the return time of the trip and buy tickets in advance or buy return tickets at the same time. Nowadays, some airlines have made provisions to enjoy discounts for booking tickets in advance in order to attract customers, and the longer the booking period, the greater the discount. At the same time, there are also special preferential policies for purchasing round-trip tickets. This is true for booking air tickets, and there are also discounts for booking train and bus tickets. If you book train tickets and buy them early, you can avoid the various handling fees for temporary ticket purchases. Third, when traveling, you should carefully plan the interesting places and the time required, and try to fill up the dates, because one more day in a tourist area will cost one more day.

Save money by choosing hotels wisely

When traveling abroad, the quality of the hotel you stay in will affect the quality of travel and the cost of travel. So how can we live well and live cheaply? First of all, before traveling, you can ask about the place you are going to and whether there are any acquaintances who recommend it or the guest houses and resident offices of enterprises and institutions where you can stay. If there are any, guest houses and offices with better conditions are preferred, because most guest houses and offices of enterprises and institutions enjoy many "benefits" of their own units, and are generally limited to receiving people related to their units. Living in such guest houses and offices is cheap and safe. Of course, when choosing these guest houses and offices, you should also decide based on their location. If it is very inconvenient to travel, you should not stay. Second, if the guest houses and offices of enterprises and institutions are not suitable for you, you should set your sights on hotels. When choosing a hotel, try to avoid staying in hotels next to bus train stations. You can choose some hotels with more convenient transportation. A hotel in a less prosperous area.

Because these hotels are much cheaper than hotels next to train stations and bus stations, and hotels in these locations can also offer discounts. Nowadays, urban taxis are developing rapidly, so it doesn’t matter if you live farther away.

Having fun can also reduce expenses

Having fun is the main purpose when traveling, and it is necessary to save money while having fun. So, how to save money? First of all, you need to have a general understanding of the scenic spot you are traveling to, and figure out the most distinctive places in this scenic spot and the places you must visit. A unique place like this is a must. When going to visit these places, you should also filter out some scenic spots. There is no need to go to repetitively constructed landscapes, because these scenic spots are everywhere. Secondly, when traveling, you should take some time to go shopping in the streets and see the local customs and customs of scenic spots and cities, because you don’t need to spend money to buy tickets for such a stroll, but you can have a good mood by having fun like this. You can gain knowledge and cultivate your temperament.

Don’t waste money on shopping

In the traditional concept of tourism, the Chinese people have a hobby of traveling and shopping. Some people often spend little money on “tours” during travel, but they are just for shopping. Spend a fortune. So how to avoid wasting money? First of all, try to buy as little as possible when traveling, because it is inconvenient to travel, and prices in tourist areas are generally higher, so it is not cost-effective to buy things. At the same time, it is worth noting that remember not to buy expensive things. In view of the high mobility of customers, some tourist areas often use various methods to sell counterfeit goods when selling valuables. If you buy these valuables, once you come back, you will find that you have been deceived and you can't argue because you are far away, so you will have to consider yourself unlucky. Of course, it is also necessary to buy some items when traveling to a place, firstly as gifts for relatives and friends, and secondly as souvenirs. So what should you buy? Generally just buy some items that are locally produced and the price is better than where you are. These items are cheap and unique.

Time:

1. Traveling in the off-season is the basis for saving money.

Row:

2. If the route is well designed and you don't need to take the same route again, you can save a lot of money.

3. When chartering a car, you must first agree with the driver that if you want to pick up other passengers along the way, the price will be cheaper.

Make a few phone calls before buying a ticket and negotiate the price over the phone.

5. Take more buses in the city

6. When taking a taxi or chartering a taxi, ask if the driver is from the destination you want to go to. If so, it will be cheaper. Because he has to go back in the end anyway. If you come across a car chartered by someone else, you will have more room for bargaining. This is because most drivers will charge the gas money for the return trip to the person who booked the one-way trip, which means someone has already paid for the gas for you.

7. Regarding the choice of transportation routes, sometimes you can save a lot of money by transferring instead of taking a direct train. The key points of this method are: (1) Appropriate transfer; (2) Combining multiple means of transportation; (3) Look at maps, railway operating lines and highway lines, and use your brain.

Accommodation:

8. When it comes to accommodation, look at the room first and then negotiate the price.

9. If you are a solo traveler and don’t want to share a room with strangers if there is no single room available, you don’t need to book the entire room. You can ask the hotel to wait until all other rooms are occupied before they can move you to your room.

Stay one night on the train, arrive at your destination in the morning, and be full of energy for the trip. Combining transportation and accommodation fees into one is a great way to save money.

13. If you arrive in the morning, do not look for accommodation immediately, because many rooms may not have been checked out at this time. And it’s not easy to bargain when carrying a bag. You can leave your bag at the train station and go play first. While playing, you’ll keep an eye on whether there are any suitable hotels. Then you can check out the room in the evening and make a counter-offer. And if no one is living there at this time, you can stay at a lower price.

Eat:

14.

When eating local specialties such as seafood, you can buy them at the seafood wholesale market or farmer's market, and then take them to restaurants for processing. But you should first understand the general processing prices of restaurants. If you eat low-grade seafood, there is no need to do this.

15. When eating, ask if there is any charge for napkins. If there is a charge, you can not need napkins and use the ones you bring.

16. Lone travelers want to save money when eating, and northern dishes generally have larger portions. You can propose a price and let the restaurant pay according to your price. This saves money without wasting it. Of course, the actual unit price will be higher.

Others:

21. Tourists from wealthy areas should not mention their region of origin when making purchases. Because tourist vendors tend to charge prices based on the affluence of the area you come from.

22. A combination of 2-4 people is the most economical.

23. If you look at some places by yourself, you won't see much of them, especially the ancient buildings, but hiring a tour guide will definitely cost you a tour guide. what to do? Listen. The travel team will definitely have a tour guide to explain, and you can be an observer. If you are afraid that following the same team all the time will be annoying and embarrassing, you can listen to this person's explanation and then go to the next place to listen to another person's explanation. After listening to the introduction of each place, take a tour again.

24. You can get free time tickets where you book your tickets. You can also get free maps (although a little simpler) at star-rated hotels, which can save money on buying maps.

26. If you are a student, be sure to bring your student ID card. Many attractions have student tickets, which can save you a lot of money. If you are a graduate student, it is best to borrow an undergraduate ID card, because in many places graduate students are not allowed half-price tickets.

30. When transiting in general large and medium-sized cities, you can choose a bathing center as a place to stay at night, and you can also refresh yourself during the tiring journey, especially in the three northeastern provinces and provincial capitals, bathing centers a lot of. Personally, I think, especially in Changchun, it is a better choice for a single person (male) to stay in the rest hall of a bathing center for one night. There is no charge if you don’t take a shower, and there is a special place to store your bag.

"Secrets" for saving money on self-guided travel during the Golden Week

Do you still remember the song "I Want to Go to Guilin"? Having time and money to travel is not something everyone can enjoy. Travel friends have long given up the habit of going with travel agencies. For the vast majority of people who love self-help, time is squeezed out and money is saved.

As we love traveling, we are also keen to share some tips on how to save money during travel. Maybe we can give you some suggestions:

Stay in local inns

Stay in hotels It’s so boring. When traveling, you must stay in the most unique place in the area. When you go to Lijiang, you must stay in a Naxi folk house. When you go to the ancient city of Pingyao, you must stay in a Shanxi businessman’s mansion. When you go to Beijing, it’s best to live in a courtyard house. When you go to Shanghai, it’s best to live in a courtyard house. For the old buildings in Shikumen, if you go to Phoenix, you must stay in a stilted building by the river. When going to Xiamen, it is best to stay in an old villa near the seaside on Gulangyu Island. In the past, there was too much information on the Internet, and it was not easy to find a suitable, cheap and unique inn.

You don’t have to visit all the scenic spots

When traveling, you must first understand the scenic spot you are traveling to, and figure out what is the most distinctive part of the scenic spot and where are the must-visit places. where. When traveling, be sure to select scenic spots and avoid visiting repetitively constructed landscapes. Try not to take the cable car or ropeway. It is best to visit many scenic spots in person, which saves money and allows you to appreciate its charm. When traveling, you should take some time to go shopping in the streets and see the customs and customs of scenic spots and cities, because you don’t need to spend money on tickets and you will make surprising discoveries.

Be careful when buying products in scenic spots

Try to buy as little as possible when traveling. Tourist areas generally have higher prices, and it is inconvenient to travel after buying things. Due to the high mobility of customers in some tourist areas, the valuables sold are sometimes counterfeit, and items that truly reflect the cultural and historical customs of the area may not be sold in the scenic spots. For example, West Lake Longjing is grown in Meijiawu and Wengjiashan in the suburbs of Hangzhou, not in the West Lake scenic area. Therefore, the price of Longjing in the West Lake Scenic Area is not only much higher than that of the place of origin, but also comparable to that in Beijing. In addition, it is best to prepare necessary items during the trip, such as film, etc., to avoid improvising and buying low-quality and high-priced items.

Taking advantage of the time difference

Most attractions have off-season and peak season. When traveling in the off-season, not only is it easier to travel by car, but because there are fewer tourists, even five-star hotels can offer amazing discounts. For example, when going to Qingdao to see the sea, it is more than 50% cheaper to live near Badaguan, the most beautiful place, in winter than in summer. In addition, for off-season travel, you can purchase tickets in advance and return tickets. In order to attract customers, airlines have made provisions to enjoy discounts for booking tickets in advance, and the longer the booking period, the greater the discount. At the same time, there are also special preferential policies for purchasing round-trip tickets.

Eat more special snacks

When traveling, there is no need to eat in local high-end restaurants. No matter how high-end a restaurant is, it cannot make a "moon meal". The radish we usually eat Cabbage is still radish and cabbage no matter where you go, it's just on a different plate. If you want to save money on food, try to taste as many local snacks as possible. Although these things are not expensive, they are authentic local flavors, and because they have been passed down to this day, they must have an attractive taste. For example, Lanzhou's ramen can be found everywhere, but only Lanzhou's soup is the most fragrant and thickest, and can be purchased in any street shop.

It is cost-effective to travel in a group

In cities, it is more suitable to travel alone. But traveling alone to Tibet, Qinghai, Xinjiang and other places is definitely not the most economical way. You should find a few like-minded people who have the same self-guided travel goals, and form a team by using public transportation such as trains and buses or renting a car to drive by yourself, and providing for three meals by yourself. The team*** travels together. In places where traffic is not accessible, it is the safest and most cost-effective way for several people to rent a car, food and accommodation together.

A comprehensive review of money-saving strategies for self-guided travel

Travel is a large expense. When you prepare to travel with your family or friends, have you ever considered how to use money rationally? , how to exchange for the fun of traveling in the most frugal way? If you have a financial mindset and awareness when spending money on travel, I believe your trip will be relaxed and enjoyable.

1) Train travel is economical and cost-effective. For self-funded travelers, the first step is to choose transportation. It is well known that the train time is long and the flight time is short, but this long and short time creates a price difference. For example, traveling from Hangzhou to Xi'an costs about 400 yuan for a round-trip sleeper train, while the cost of a "double flight" is more than 1,900 yuan. The difference between the two is more than 1,500 yuan. Calculated as a family of three traveling, the difference is more than 4,500 yuan. It can be seen that for ordinary families with low incomes, it is more cost-effective to take the train back and forth when the whole family goes out. Besides, taking a train to spend time traveling with family or friends is actually a way of traveling.

Coupled with the increased speed of trains and the improvement of soft and hard services of "Rail Boss", ordinary people have provided more convenience for free travel than before. From this point of view, choosing to travel by train is suitable for most families' financial capabilities.

2) Choice of transportation for visiting tourist attractions. After arriving at the tourist destination, there are many means of transportation to and from the tourist attractions, including tourist cars, buses, taxis, etc. From an economic point of view, it is better to buy a tour guide map yourself. According to the bus routes on the tour guide map, it will save much money to travel by bus. From a convenience point of view, although the bus is not as good as a taxi or a tour bus, it is In terms of freedom, it is much more convenient to travel by bus, because you can freely control the time for each attraction according to your personal preference for the attractions.

3) Make a counter-offer for accommodation first, and then register. The prosperity of the economy has promoted the rapid development of the urban hotel service industry. Accommodation for outings has become no longer a problem. It also provides tourists with a larger choice, and of course also makes the price of accommodation somewhat flexible. Most of the accommodation prices in some cities can be counter-priced, usually 80-70% of the listed price. Therefore, after arriving at the tourist destination, you must not rush to go through the accommodation procedures without asking about the price. You should negotiate the price first, and then go through the check-in procedures. If time allows, you can visit several more houses to compare, and check from the aspects of safety, security, food, accommodation and hygiene. From a perspective, when choosing accommodation, you should consider hotels, hotels, and guest houses with higher grades. You must not try to save money and stay in hotels with poor environment.

Also, when you decide to travel by train, be aware that food prices in some station shops are relatively high. Therefore, before taking the train, you can choose a large shopping mall to stock up on necessary food. This will save you money and ensure peace of mind. Try to avoid buying food at station stores or stops along the way.

Secrets to save money on self-guided travel

Travel - water, land, air and flower arrangements

There are few ways to get to the destination, usually by plane or train. Even for short distances, taking a train is sometimes cheaper than taking a car, saves time, and doesn't have to worry about breaking down or blocking the road due to snow or fog.

If you choose to fly, it is best to "affiliate" and entrust a travel agency to book air tickets or enjoy the membership benefits of a membership-based organization.

With the popularity of the Internet today, "online group gathering" is gradually becoming popular. Netizens who have the same flight needs gather together online. After reaching a certain number of people, they can naturally get collective fares from the airlines.

Taking the train is a better option. If you have enough time, taking the train can allow you to enjoy the scenery of various places. For example, if you take a long drive south along the Beijing-Kowloon Highway in winter, you may start out in a vast snowy field. You may have seen withered grass and fallen leaves and scattered sails on the river. When you arrive at your destination, you will be greeted by a green leaf.

Taking a boat sometimes saves money and saves you the trouble of changing trains. For example, if you board a boat from Chongqing and go down the Yangtze River to Wuhan, you can enjoy the scenery of the Yangtze River along the way. One ticket is enough.

Flying solo or lying down and then sitting back are both good ways to save money and avoid fatigue.

Travel - "Listen" and plan routes

If you reduce some scenic spots that you should visit in order to save money, it is a method of saving money that outweighs the gain.

One way for savvy backpackers to save money is to plan their travel routes and itineraries to avoid making mistakes. The focus of tourism should be on the most famous natural and cultural landscapes of the place.

If you hire a tour guide at an attraction, you will definitely have to pay for the explanation, so you might as well listen. The travel team will definitely have a tour guide to explain, and you can be an observer.

Don’t forget to buy a local traffic map. It can help you understand the direction, identify distances, and is a good helper when taking a bus.

Food - Snacks & Time-honored Brands

If you want to save money on food, try to taste as many local specialty snacks as possible. Although these things are not expensive, they are authentic local flavors, and because they can be passed down to this day, they must have an attractive taste. For example, Lanzhou Ramen is available all over the country, but only Lanzhou's soup is the most fragrant and thickest, and can be purchased in any street shop.

Nanjing’s sesame oil jelly, the most authentic jelly is sold at street stalls. It costs 5 cents a bowl and you can eat it for ten meals without getting tired of it. It only costs 5 yuan, do you think it’s worth it?

Also, when ordering the same special snacks, the prices in high-end restaurants and street shops are very different. If you stay in one place for more than two days and cannot resist the temptation of "time-honored restaurants", you can go there specifically Eat a meal, such as Xi'an's Lao Sun's steamed buns, Shanghai's Lao Zhengxing large vegetarian buns, and Wuhan's Lao Tongcheng tofu skin, all of which are famous for their "old".

But it’s only for one meal. It’s useless to eat more, and you’ll spend a lot of money in vain. This meal is just to satisfy your "authentic psychology".

Accommodation - Bargaining & Mobile Hotels

If you are not picky about facilities, there are many mid- to low-end hotels in the city, especially the guest houses of various corporate agencies, which are often more expensive than Regular hotels are cheap.

If it is the off-season, don’t forget to bargain at the hotel front desk. As long as you mention it, you may be able to get a discounted price without haggling. If you want to get a cheaper price, you can only rely on words. But don’t go beyond the hotel’s bottom line. Once you insist on asking for an extremely low price, you may not even get the initial discount.

It’s also good to live in a “mobile hotel”, killing two birds with one stone. There are many trains that depart in the evening and arrive in the morning, and the fare and accommodation are combined into one, which is most suitable for self-guided travellers. It is a great way to save money.
