When is the cheapest time of year to travel?

From a domestic perspective, March/April/May in the first half of the year and October/November/December in the second half of the year are relatively detailed off-seasons. Of course, popular holiday periods must be excluded from this. The first half of the year was okay, as the Tomb Sweeping Day and May Day holidays were not long. The National Day holiday in the second half of the year was definitely a big hit, and prices started to drop after that.

You can see this trend from the prices of hotels and flights. . Basically, during the above-mentioned time periods in previous years, air ticket prices were relatively cheap. Of course, this is a relative concept. The prices for some day flights and popular travel destinations will not be too low, but they will still be much lower than those for peak season travel

At the same time, during these time periods, many domestic scenic spots will have discounts on tickets to differentiate between low and peak season prices. For example, the ticket price of the Forbidden City in Beijing is 60 yuan in peak season and 40 yuan in off-season; the Summer Palace ticket price is 30 yuan in peak season and 20 yuan in off-season; the ticket price of Tianshan Tianchi Scenic Area in Xinjiang is 95 yuan in peak season and 45 yuan in off-season; the Kanas Scenic Spot is in peak season. The ticket price is 160 yuan, and the off-season ticket price is 80 yuan; the Shanxi Yungang Grottoes ticket price is 120 yuan in the peak season, and 100 yuan in the off-season... These are local policies introduced to balance and attract tourists

In the traditional sense, January/February of the year involves the Spring Festival travel rush and the Spring Festival and winter vacation. The summer months of July/August are the peak of student travel. The rest of the time is relatively not too busy, so it is an off-peak travel period. good time. If you are planning to travel, avoid these popular times to save transportation, accommodation and ticket costs, and get a better experience. It is a two-win method of travel

But for more obvious seasonal purposes In fact, it is not very recommended to travel in the off-season. First of all, although the cost is reduced, the scenery will be greatly reduced. For example, Xinjiang and Tibet have obvious seasonal changes, and winter is not very suitable for travel.

However, in places like Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan and other places, seasonal changes will not have much impact on travel. For example, Dali, Lijiang has different scenery throughout the year, making it a more worthy destination.
