When are the peak and low seasons for tourism?

Generally speaking in the domestic tourism industry, ticket prices are higher during the peak season when there are more people, usually from April to November every year. During the off-season, there are fewer people and prices are lower, usually from November of the first year to April of the next year.

The peak tourist seasons are: New Year’s Day, Spring Festival, Golden Week holidays such as May 1st and October 1st, and two student holidays (summer and winter holidays). The remaining months are the off-season for tourism.

There are peak seasons and off-seasons for climbing Mount Tai, and its climbing tickets are also priced based on the peak seasons and off-seasons. The off-season is in December and January, when tickets are cheaper, and other times are defined as peak seasons.

Different places have different divisions into off-season and peak season. For example, in the south, the peak season should be in spring when flowers are blooming and in various golden states, while in the north, winter is the off-season. So when traveling, you still need to know whether you are in the south or the north.

In the north, winter is generally the off-season, but in the south, summer is better. In summer, the south is not as good as the north. This is related to regional and local characteristics. Winter is the off-season in the north, but Harbin skiing is the peak season; summer is the off-season in the south, but Jiuzhaigou is the peak season.
