What are some tips for saving money when traveling?

In recent years, "special forces tourism" has become popular among young people. The main theme is to save money and do great things with less money. So what are some tips for saving money when traveling? Here are a few summarized for you.

1. Bring your own towels/bath towels/toothpaste and toothbrushes/umbrellas

If you are considering traveling around, you can consider staying in a youth hostel. The price is cheap, about 20-20 yuan per bed. The price ranges from 50 yuan, which is at least twice as cheap as staying in an ordinary express hotel for one night. But in youth hostels, disposable toothpaste, toothbrushes and bath towels are charged extra. Bringing these things by yourself is for the sake of cleanliness and secondly, it can save costs.

2. Don’t eat in popular business districts such as local food streets in tourist destinations

It is well known that eating in popular business districts or commercial food streets will be more expensive than the average price of the city. Much higher. So when we choose to eat, we can avoid popular food streets or internet celebrity check-in spots. It is also great to choose to try local food at non-popular places near food landmarks, and the prices are much lower. And it’s actually easier to taste local specialties and flavors in small alleys.

3.? Stay in a youth hostel

When it comes to saving money, we have to mention the four categories of food, clothing, housing and transportation. As for accommodation, if we don’t have great requirements for the accommodation environment, we can consider staying in a youth hostel. I personally recommend staying in a youth hostel if you have friends to play with. You can save at least 50%, and you can also meet some like-minded friends in the youth hostel. You can ask them some knowledge about local attractions, which will help to enliven the atmosphere during the trip and add some pleasant memories to the trip.

I personally highly recommend staying in a youth hostel when traveling to Yunnan. It’s really fun. Friends from all over the world gather together to cook and play. This experience has never happened to me since I started working. Forgot. I also met a lot of interesting friends this way.

4. If the one-way journey is within 12 hours, consider taking a sleeper train or taking a ticket. Take the train at night and arrive during the day.

If you do not get motion sickness within 12 hours, , it is not recommended to take the train. The price will be more than 100 yuan cheaper one way.

On the bus, you will also have the opportunity to get to know some local people in the same destination. Ask the locals about some local special activities or attractions that you did not know before. It is also excellent for understanding the local cultural characteristics.

5. Plan in advance the public transportation routes and attractions to be visited in the tourist location

Big transportation is very important for our traveling friends. It is said to be a very important expense. Once you get lost or follow your own directions in an unfamiliar city, you are likely to lose time and incur a lot of expenses.

If we can plan in advance the public transportation routes and scenic spots where we are traveling, use the Amap map to mark the points we want to go to, and plan according to the distance, starting from the hotel first Later, we will be able to save some transportation costs and eat more good food!
