Is it better to go from Hangzhou to Zhoushan with a group tour or to travel independently?

When traveling from Hangzhou to Zhoushan, group tours and independent travel have their own advantages and disadvantages.

The advantage of traveling in a group is that you can be led by someone, so you don’t have to worry about routes and traffic problems. Group tours can also save time and money, as travel agencies can arrange the best itinerary and transportation options to avoid wasting time and money. In addition, traveling in a group can also make new friends, and traveling with peers can increase the fun of travel.

However, there are some restrictions on group tours. First of all, the itinerary is fixed and cannot be changed according to your preferences and interests. Secondly, the time and route of team activities may be restricted, and there is no freedom to stay or change plans.

If you travel independently, you can freely arrange your itinerary according to your personal preferences and interests. You can choose the attractions you want to visit and participate in activities that interest you, without being restricted by the group's itinerary. In addition, independent travel allows for more flexibility in choosing how long to stay, or staying in a place for longer, without having to be tied to a group's schedule. However, independent travel may require more time and effort to plan the itinerary and transportation, and you will also need to be responsible for your own expenses such as accommodation and meals.

Therefore, you can decide whether to travel in a group or on your own based on your time and budget, personal preferences and interests, and other factors.
