This summer tourists are concentrated in Xinjiang, Yunnan and Sichuan-Tibet Line on
"So lucky! I went to Xinjiang and Yunnan in advance for nearly a month in June. Others spent 30,000, but I only spent 10,000." Every time I think of the popular tourism in Xinjiang and Yunnan that began in July this year, I feel how lucky I am.
Every summer vacation, the most popular tourist destination is always some "summer and cool city" or an outdoor paradise suitable for self-driving tours. Throughout the long summer, almost domestic tourism enthusiasts were concentrated in the northwest regions such as western Sichuan, Tibet, Xinjiang, Qinghai and Gansu.
On the one hand, these places have vast and open natural scenery, suitable for the increasingly popular self-driving tours at present; on the other hand, these places are also good places to escape the summer heat, and many scenic spots also wear thin down jackets to keep warm at night.
In addition to the special situation in Gansu, the tourism market of Gannan and Qinghai-Gansu Grand Circle this summer is not optimistic, and the other northwest areas are almost always "a state where local hotels are often full of rooms." I heard that the hikers said that the group trips from Chengdu to Gannan have stopped.
Looking at the entire tourism industry, the three places that continued to be popular this summer are the Sichuan-Tibet Line, Xinjiang and Yunnan. The Sichuan-Tibet Highway blocks people, and the Duku Highway blocks people crying. Xinjiang and Tibet welcome a steady stream of tourists almost every summer, and this year is still the same. But compared with previous years, Yunnan tourism has been unexpectedly popular.
is very lucky. Before the peak of the summer vacation, we went to Xinjiang and Yunnan in June for nearly a month. Others spent 30,000 yuan, but I only spent 10,000 yuan.
Speaking of this journey, I feel so lucky! As soon as we left Xinjiang in late June, we heard from the friends who were responsible for booking rooms. It turned out that the room we had stayed at about 200 yuan per night had increased to 600 or 700 yuan. I just left Xishuangbanna in early July. Half a month later, the room we originally stayed in had increased from 200 yuan/night to 1111 yuan/night.
Rent a car and drives by yourself in Xinjiang for 10 days, eats, drinks and stays in hotels, and the per capita consumption is less than 4,000 yuan
On June 12, we arrived in Xinjiang and left Urumqi on the evening of June 23. We rented a car and drove by myself for 10 days. The total tourism expenses of 4 people totaled 15,178 yuan, which was 3,794 yuan per capita. This fee includes all car rental fees, fuel fees, scenic spot tickets, tolls, food and drinks, accommodation, etc. along the way.
The price of car rental and accommodation in Xinjiang in June is compared with July
Around June 10, I was planning to rent a tank of 300 in Urumqi. The price at that time was about 300-400 yuan per day. By July, the 2.0T displacement tank 300 had risen to more than 800 yuan per day. After leaving Xinjiang, I suddenly saw news that Xinjiang tourism suddenly became popular across the Internet. My friends who were traveling compared the hotels I stayed at that time. The rooms of 200 yuan/night basically increased to around 600 yuan/day.
, especially hotels near Hemu and , Yili , it is difficult to book a room for more than 1,000 yuan. Yurts, hotels, and homestays are all full, and a few tourists can only ask for help from local people to stay at home.
went half a month early, saving half of the expenses
This time, in addition to the car rental and self-driving fees, the round-trip air tickets also cost about 2,000 yuan. The two fees are added together, and the total travel expenses are about 6,000 yuan.
But if we switch to July, the prices of car rental, housing and air tickets will rise sharply. If we eat, drink and play casually like us, the per capita cost should be about 15,000, because the round-trip air ticket alone costs about 5,000 yuan.
Xishuangbanna hotel price increased by 5 times within half a month
On June 24, we just left Urumqi, Xinjiang and flew to Xishuangbanna. In order to facilitate the viewing, we stayed in a B&B called "Meeting Liangshe" in the Gaozhuang Scenic Area in Jinghong City, and stayed for a week at 206 yuan per night.
By mid-July, the price of the same-room apartment of the B&B had risen to 1,111 yuan/night, 5 times the price at the end of June, and it had already shown that it was "full of rooms".
Xishuangbanna is a place with a very Southeast Asian style. Girls like to go out to take photos in their strapless outfits.Every night, the Starlight Night Market and the entrance of the Dajinta Temple in Gaozhuang are crowded with people. The girls are all dressed in cool clothes and are full of people taking photos and checking in. The biggest feeling of coming to Sishuangbanna is that there are more beauties here in one day than they have seen in a year. There are always beauties on the streets and their legs are as beautiful as the forest.
As a border area bordering Myanmar and Laos , I originally wanted to visit the "Mengjinglai Dai First Village" on the China-Myanmar border, but due to the epidemic, the scenic spot has not been open to tourists for nearly three years.
Is Xishuangbanna suitable for travel?
Compared with previous years, there are a lot of tourists going to Xishuangbanna this summer vacation, but in fact, the most suitable tourist season for tropical tourist cities like Xishuangbanna is the Dai Water Splashing Festival in April every year. The climate was comfortable at that time, and the special festivals of local ethnic minorities such as Dai and Hani, Wa and Yi and other ethnic minorities were also filled with a stronger ethnic custom.
Relatively speaking, the summer vacation is already hot, so it is actually difficult to enjoy the local "climate advantage" and "ethnic custom" when traveling to Xishuangbanna.
"When traveling to Xishuangbanna during the summer vacation, the temperature is hot and the ultraviolet rays are strong. I can basically stay in a hotel during the day, or go to a coffee shop for an afternoon, and only go out for a while in the evening to see the local Southeast Asian style. I feel bored after two days." When my friend asked me about the travel experience in Xishuangbanna, I answered this way.
I think this answer is very true. Although Xishuangbanna is a famous tourist destination in China, compared with the vast and majestic snow-capped mountains, grasslands, lakes and other landscapes in Xinjiang, Tibet, western Sichuan and other places, Xishuangbanna's only tropical rainforest resources have a big gap in natural scenery. My friend is a photography enthusiast. He just came from Yili, Xinjiang to visit the Zhongke Botanical Garden, the only 5A-level scenic spot in Sishuangbanna. With a total of 3 hours of viewing time, he even struggled to find a view that he could unscrew the lens cover.
Xishuangbanna tourism is more suitable for vacation, live for a long time, integrate into the local ethnic minority customs, and slowly experience the local climate, diet, Buddhist culture and the colorful Southeast Asian customs. If you are just a travel check-in, it feels not worth it to visit Xishuangbanna during the summer. There are many people and tiring, the weather is hot, the accommodation fee is expensive, and you can't see any unique style.
may be a good choice for young girls to take two commemorative photos of their travelers in a strapless outfit and take them home to worship them for their future boyfriends. But the way to play for boys is really pitiful, and the only thing left is the "look" activity.
Tourists are crowded with Xinjiang, Yunnan, and Sichuan-Tibet lines. Where can I go to escape the summer vacation this year?
Unexpectedly, this summer vacation, everyone rushed to Yunnan for a trip. Is this high accommodation price worth it or not?
Dali, Lijiang and other places in Yunnan Province have similar tourism methods to Xishuangbanna, and are more inclined to urban vacations. In a corner of the ancient house with comfortable temperature, sunny weather and very ethnic style, I stroll around the ancient city in the afternoon, drive around Erhai in the evening, and go to the Qing bar to have a glass of wine and listen to a song. The next day, I slept until I woke up naturally. Don’t follow the trend and check in, be at ease and be at ease. Such travel allows your mind to rest.
Once the number of tourists increases, it is difficult to experience the quiet and elegant atmosphere of a historical and cultural city itself.
If you want to travel around the peak, a self-driving tour in Yunnan is a good choice. Although Yunnan tourism is popular, the traffic is mainly concentrated in the urban areas of Dali and Lijiang Ancient City, and there are relatively few tourists who drive by themselves. Drive in Yunnan and enjoy the summer and see the scenery all the way, and you will basically not encounter traffic jams.
There are two self-driving tour routes in Yunnan during the summer vacation, which are very good, one is the western Yunnan ring road, and the other is the northwest Yunnan ring road. These are two large loops that penetrate the style of Shangri-La , with snow-capped mountains, canyons, river water, wetlands and grasslands.
Northwest Yunnan Ring Road :2416 kilometers, it takes 10 days for self-driving.Starting from Kunming, follow the Yunnan-Tibet Line north along the G214 Yunnan-Tibet Line. You can visit Dali, Lijiang, Lugu Lake, Yulong Snow Mountain , Tiger Leaping Gorge , Shangri-La, Pudacuo, Jinsha River Bend, Meili Snow Mountain and other attractions, and finally return to Kunming.
West Yunnan Grand Ring Road :2573 kilometers, it takes 9 days to drive. Starting from Kunming, we passed through G219 Bingcha , Degong Highway , and G214 Yunnan-Tibet Line. Based on the above "Northwest Yunnan Ring Line", we can also see the charm of Baoshan , Ruili , Tengchong , Bingzhongluo, Nujiang , Meili Snow Mountain, and Yubeng Village .
The crowded way of travel, where should tourists go?
As a travel blogger, I have relatively free time and usually travel around the peak when I go out for travel. For example, the best time to travel in Yili, Xinjiang is from June to August, and the traffic will surge from July to July, so I will go to sightsee before July comes.
is just like this June trip, going to Xinjiang and Yunnan just before the peak of tourism comes.
A fan told me that she was planning to take her family to Xinjiang for a trip this year, and she had planned to do it for almost a year. Over the past year, she often asked me for strategies and asked travelers in the group to share her experiences. But in the end, she saw so many people in Xinjiang, so she had to stop joining in the fun and go to Guizhou or other places instead. During the peak period of tourism, for ordinary tourists, on the one hand, they will face higher tourism expenses, and on the other hand, the tourism experience will also become worse.
saw a tourist's micro headline posted in front of her, saying that she went to Xinjiang to visit Sailimuhu , known as the "last tear of the Atlantic Ocean". When she took the scenic spot sightseeing bus, because there were too many tourists, she didn't dare to get off the bus except for the previous few stops, because she was afraid that it would be difficult to squeeze in after getting off the bus. The sightseeing car was crowded with people, and the travel experience was not very good.
July 2022 Islam Famous festival Gurbang Festival, tourists from Sailimu Lake in Xinjiang hit a record high, with the number of tourists in a single day reaching 60,000.
Every July and August, teachers, students and other groups usher in a long summer, and many parents can only take their children out for a long trip during this period. In the northwest region in July and August, the grassland turns green, the sea of flowers blooms, the snow peaks bloom at the same time, and the temperature is pleasant, which is very suitable for self-driving tours. However, the experience of the crowded scenic spot has become another topic that people have troubled. Perhaps this is considered to be gains and losses. If you think about it carefully, you really don’t know where the tourists should go.
