When is the cheapest time to travel?

Domestically, March/April/May in the first half of the year and1011/65438+February in the second half of the year are relatively detailed off-seasons. Of course, popular holidays should be excluded. The first half of the year was fine. Tomb-Sweeping Day and May Day holidays are not long. In the second half of the year, the National Day was definitely a big sale, and then the price began to go down all the way.

This trend can be seen from the prices of hotels and flights. Basically, during the above-mentioned time periods in previous years, the ticket prices were all relatively cabbage prices. Of course, this is a relative concept. The prices of some white flights and popular tourist destinations will not be too low, but they will still be much lower than those in peak season.

At the same time, during these time periods, tickets for many scenic spots in China will be discounted to distinguish the prices in the off-season. For example, the peak season fare of the Forbidden City in Beijing is 60 yuan, and the off-season fare is 40 yuan; Summer Palace peak season ticket price 30 yuan, off-season ticket price 20 yuan; 95 yuan in the peak season and 45 yuan in the off-season in Tianchi Scenic Area, Tianshan, Xinjiang; Kanas scenic spot peak season fare 160 yuan, off-season fare 80 yuan; The ticket price of Yungang Grottoes in Shanxi Province is 120 yuan in peak season and 100 yuan in low season ... These are all related policies introduced by local authorities to balance and attract passengers.

Traditionally,1/February in a year involves the tide rush in Spring Festival travel rush and the Spring Festival winter vacation. The summer vacation in July/August in the middle of the year is outside the peak of student outflow, and the rest of the time is relatively not too busy, which is a good opportunity to travel at the wrong peak. If you are going to travel and avoid these hot periods, you can not only save the cost of transportation, accommodation, tickets, etc., but also get a better experience. This is a two-way trip.

But for destinations with obvious seasonality, it is not recommended to travel in the off-season. First of all, although the cost is reduced, the scenery will be greatly reduced. For example, Tibet in Xinjiang has obvious seasonal changes and winter is not suitable for tourism. However, in Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan and other places, seasonal changes will not have much impact on travel. Lijiang and Dali, for example, have different scenery all year round, which is a worthwhile destination.
