Think creatively. Try traveling in the offseason when hotel and flight prices are much lower.
Choose less popular destinations (目的地) as cheaper alternatives (备选). They may surprise you!
Some airlines offer discounts (折扣) on their “membership days”. Many travel apps also sell “mystery box (盲盒)” tickets for under 100 yuan.
Booking flights and hotels early often means better prices.
If direct flights are too expensive, look for cheaper routes (线路). For example, a flight from Shenzhen to Sydney costs over 3,000 yuan. But, if you fly to Chongqing first and then go to Sydney, the total cost is only about 1,300 yuan.
Eat where the locals eat to find authentic (正宗的) food. It’s often cheaper and more delicious than the popular restaurants you may see on social media.
Camera rental (租赁) apps let you try many good cameras at low prices so you can take great pictures without buying one.
