How to make and change the itinerary requires a sufficient understanding of the destination to make good decisions. Make judgments based on the season, local characteristics, festivals, competition performances, etc.

To listen to ditties in Suzhou, you need to go in the afternoon, as some restaurants close at 5 o'clock. You need to avoid Mondays in your museum itinerary because they are closed on Mondays. Due to the epidemic, many performances have been temporarily canceled. Most attractions require reservations. You need to check the guide in advance to understand this information.

Features of Suzhou: Pingtan

Some performances also offer early bird tickets, and you can get a lot of discounts if you order in advance. You can also book performances abroad in advance, and they will usually be sent to your mailbox. Print out the performance tickets before departure, and just show your performance tickets when you arrive at the venue. If the language is not good, this method can avoid lack of communication and enter the audience smoothly. This was the case when the respondent went to Russia to watch a ballet. The ticket inspector could tell that I didn't speak Russian and my English wasn't very good, so they let us in directly after seeing the printed performance tickets.

Russian ballet is accompanied by live accompaniment

For strategies, you can refer to xhs, Ctrip, Mafengwo, Meituan, etc. Accommodation is sometimes cheaper when booked through Chi.X.

Accommodation

Choose accommodation in a place with convenient transportation. If you don’t go to remote places, you will still be afraid of walking alone at night.

You can also choose youth hostels for accommodation. Qualifications need to be screened, and you can also read more reviews. Sometimes you meet like-minded temporary travel companions. Even if that doesn't work out, it's cost-effective to find someone to share a meal with. Of course, if you encounter anyone, anything, or something that makes you feel uncomfortable, don’t think too much about it and stay away immediately.

Most youth hostels have kitchens that provide tea, bread, eggs, etc., as well as basic pots and pans. Domestic youth hostels generally only need to be restored to their original state after use. In a youth hostel in Russia, cooking seafood is not allowed in the kitchen. Many Koreans use the kitchen to cook instant noodles. So you need to pay attention to the usage rules before using it. Kitchens that provide bread usually also provide toasters and jam and butter, so you can search for them~

If you are traveling for a short period of time, you can also make full use of the refrigerator in the kitchen and bring some food home. In coastal cities, you can bring seafood or specialty pastries, store them in the refrigerator, and pick them up before leaving~!

Transportation

Choose public transportation within the city. If you are not in a hurry, bus transportation can better feel the temperament of a city.

You can choose as many means of transportation as possible. The respondent feels that each means of transportation can bring people a completely different experience. What impressed me most recently was riding a bicycle in Shantou. I felt completely integrated into the local area. It was faster than renting a car or taking a taxi!

To travel across cities, you can choose high-speed rail or low-cost airlines. Low-cost airlines generally do not include checked luggage, so it is more convenient to use a backpack~

Backpacking Travel

If there is an airplane in the itinerary, you can choose backpacking travel. There are several advantages: low-cost airlines can often sneak into the cabin without buying baggage tickets, there are ancient cities or hiking sections, which are convenient for travel, convenient for expansion, and can speed up when you are in a hurry.

After all, the capacity of the suitcase is fixed and can only be compressed and stored. The backpack can be plugged in, which is more flexible.

Other sundries

Standing basic medicines. Such as Jianweixiaoshi tablets, isatis root and the like. It’s easy to buy in the city, and you can also order takeout. These are must-haves when traveling abroad, because there are no Chinese patent medicines outside.

Portable storage bag. Decathlon has one. It folds and takes up no space. If you are shopping or going out for fun and don’t need to carry a big bag, then this small bag will come into play.

Bluetooth camera remote control, small tripod/octopus stand. It’s difficult to take pictures alone. If you don’t have a temporary travel companion, just put your phone/camera in a suitable place and take a selfie.

Flip-flops, folding hangers. A must-have for the poor travellers. I always brought these with me when I stayed in youth hostels in college. I once traveled abroad in flip-flops for the entire journey, and wore them on international trains, planes, ferries, bicycles, and motorcycles. Folding clothes hangers are very practical. Sometimes if you don’t stay in a B&B hotel, you won’t have clothes hangers. Occasionally I would hang out to dry on long-distance buses.

Umbrella. When the weather is bad, buying an umbrella temporarily is really expensive.

Safety

Try not to go out late at night or attend parties. After all, we are a girl walking alone, and our strength and fists are not as strong as those of men or those who are in company.

Documents can be stored separately, and eggs are not put in one basket.

There are outdoor sports in the itinerary, so it is recommended to buy travel insurance. Travel insurance is very cheap. You usually buy it by the number of days. If the time is not long, it only costs more than ten yuan.

Report safe when entering or exiting. For example, when you board a plane and land, inform someone you trust about your trip’s progress.
