◆ What do you bring?
First, prepare clothes according to the weather conditions of the place where you are going. If it's Hainan, don't forget to bring some thin clothes. To the northeast, it is best to take a thick down jacket; Of course, the change of clothes can be decided according to the number of days you go. If you take care of children, be sure to prepare more replacement clothes for him.
Secondly, it is also necessary to prevent colds, gastrointestinal discomfort, mosquito bites and other drugs. People with heart disease, asthma and other diseases should bring their own commonly used drugs.
After finishing these things, we should also consider some odds and ends, such as napkins, towels, toilet paper and so on. Friends who like photography should of course bring cameras, but it is also necessary to bring enough film, so the film in some tourist areas can be much more expensive! Don't forget your ID card, your child's household registration book, marriage certificate and other necessary documents, as well as small objects such as paper and pens. In case of any use, you won't be blind.
Don't forget to bring your address book when you go out, and it is best to have a contact company phone number.
Last but not least: money. Don't take this less! About 1 or 5 times the budget is enough.
◆ How to pack it?
If you use ordinary travel bags, it is best to put things that are not commonly used, such as clothes, on the lower floor and put medicines, paper towels, certificates and so on. Upstairs in turn. If you have a backpack, several pockets can hold all kinds of things, such as clothes and uncommon sundries on the lower floor, cameras on the upper floor, medicines, paper towels and other things on the top cover, and documents on both sides pockets.
Choose the right travel bag.
No matter where you go, travel bags need the most important travel equipment. Travel bags are divided into two types: hand-held and hand-held. Lifting weights can relax shoulders and get a rest; Back posture can free hands and facilitate movement. When traveling, you'd better choose to carry people, because carrying people is conducive to action.
◆ Basic requirements of backpacks
It doesn't matter to take a small bag when traveling, but you have to pay attention to taking a big bag. Especially for large backpacks with a volume of more than 50 liters, more attention should be paid. When putting things, put the heavy objects that are not afraid of bumping on the lower part, and it is best to stand with your backpack on your back after putting them away. Tighten the belt to make the crotch bear the maximum gravity, and the shoulder strap should be relaxed to make the top of the shoulder strap at an angle of 45-60 degrees. It's easy to walk like there's nothing. If there are many or all heavy objects, they can be placed evenly. Fasten the chest strap so that backpackers don't feel backward. When walking, pull the adjustment belt between the shoulder strap and the backpack with both hands. Lean forward slightly, so that the gravity when walking is actually in the waist and crotch, and there is no pressure on the back. In an emergency, the upper limbs can be flexible. When there are not many items in the backpack, tents, sleeping bags, moisture-proof mats, etc. Can be placed outside the backpack and fixed with external straps. There are also differences in different places outside the terrain, such as drilling in the jungle, and don't develop high. Carrying heavy bags on your shoulders is also skillful. Put your backpack at a certain height and put your shoulders into your shoulder straps. It is more convenient to lean forward and stand up with your legs. If there is no high place to put it, lift the backpack with both hands. Kneel on one knee (facing the strap). Then one hand controls the bag, and the other hand grabs the shoulder strap and rotates quickly, so that one arm can enter the shoulder strap, so that the other arm can enter it much easier. When passing through rapids and steep sections, you must protect the ropes. When passing through without protection, you should loosen the shoulder strap and open the belt and chest strap, so as to separate people and bags as soon as possible in case of danger.
Preparation before travel
1. Check the general situation of tourist destinations through books, TV, radio or simply surfing the Internet in advance, so as to have a good idea.
2. First, bring your ID card. If you walk closer, you don't have to prepare so complicated, as long as you have a sense of direction, talk frequently and have enough money. For some underdeveloped and remote areas, it is best to be accompanied by several people, which is not only safe, but also can share some high expenses for individuals.
You must listen to the weather forecast for a week to prevent wet or frozen teeth from fighting.
You can't go far without medicine. Commonly used internal and surgical drugs, such as band-aid, cotton, alcohol and so on, treat gastrointestinal system. And emergency cardiovascular drugs are essential.
5. Camera, battery, film and toiletries;
6. Take a little fruit or snacks, bottled drinks and water (to reduce the high purchase cost during the trip), and put the money away. If you have a national bank magnetic card, you'd better bring it.
Preparation before leaving home
When you spend months or even years preparing for a sightseeing tour, you certainly don't want to make any mistakes. If you can make preparations one by one in advance, you will take your time, know well and take your time on the day you leave.
1. Go through the formalities in the travel agency or book tickets by yourself (air tickets, boat tickets).
Second, prepare the documents you need to bring when you go out. When going abroad for sightseeing, you should get your passport, visa and health certificate in advance and exchange them for foreign currency. In addition, vaccinate according to the legal requirements of the country you are going to.
You can buy travel insurance if you like.
4. Pack the luggage you need, check whether the clothes are clean and whether the buttons are missing. It is best to prepare a set of clothes and sneakers suitable for travel, which is convenient for going on the road. Don't forget to bring a parasol and rain boots. Old people, bring your crutches. In the suitcase, put the heavy things under, the light things on, and the fragile things in the clothes.
Fifth, put away the "medical bag". Attention should be paid to taking painkillers, anti-inflammatory tablets, anti-vertigo drugs and drugs for treating acclimatization. If you have a chronic disease and need special medication, please take the corresponding medication under the guidance of a doctor.
Sixth, photographic equipment should be ready.
Seven, check whether the glasses are in good condition, and bring a pair of spare. You'd better prepare a pair of sunglasses.
Leave the itinerary with your parents, spouse, children or anyone who wants to get in touch with you. Check whether you have the telephone number of your family, work unit and related relatives and friends.

It's best to install automatic lights and light them at dusk. If there are pets and potted plants, including paying a close friend to look after and water them; Check the locks of all doors and windows. Ask reliable friends or neighbors to check it from time to time. You must take your key with you. Be careful to tell someone you trust who is in charge of something.
Ten, remember the date and time on the ticket (air ticket, boat ticket), arrange the route and transportation from home to the station (airport, wharf).
Packaging skills
The principle of packing when traveling is: minimize the luggage, pack it as small as possible, and leave room for souvenirs and gifts bought during the trip.
There are three tips for packing:
1, large items should be loaded first, and heavy objects should be placed below for easy handling.
2. Fragile things are wrapped in clothes or towels.
3. Roll the towel in the luggage gap. Packing is a headache. Faced with a lot of things to wear, if you write a list first and list the necessary things one by one, you won't ignore one thing.
The list should include the following three categories:
Documents: air ticket or plane ticket, ID card, guidebook, map, travel schedule, address and telephone address book, etc.
Electrical appliances: camera, film, charger, alarm clock, shaver, calculator, nail clipper, can opener, electric cup, small clothes rack, sewing kit, hair dryer, notebook, etc.
Wear: change clothes, shoes, pajamas, ties and scarves, gloves, swimsuits, shorts, physiological products, towels, cosmetics, sunscreen, ornaments, pins and the like.
In addition, you need to bring some emergency items when you travel.
Generally, you should prepare:
Gas lighter (windproof lighter is better)
Several lanterns and candles are used for lighting, heating, lighting and cooking in wild fire.
Cut with a knife;
Fine nylon rope 5 ~ 10 meter, used for binding articles, drying clothes, camping, etc. ;
A small compass is used to get lost in the wild;
The flashlight has a whistle, which is used to send a contact signal in case of distress;
A small bottle of potassium permanganate can not only be disinfected, but also be used as kindling fuel;
Some cotton wool, used for scrubbing and dressing wounds, can also be used as kindling;
A silk scarf can not only prevent wind and keep warm, but also be used to dress wounds and make tourniquets.
A covered tin can (which can be of any shape) can not only hold the above-mentioned emergency items, but also be used as a drinking utensil to cook food, and its cover can also reflect sunlight to send signals.
Emergency items should not be too complicated. Pay attention to practicality and portability.

Nine secrets to spend the journey
It has been calculated that at least one third of the travel time is spent on long-distance travel. But only after ups and downs and expectations will I be more excited and amazed at the beautiful scenery. Maybe today is the beginning of your journey. As long as you find it with your heart, you will find a lot of learning and fun on the journey. Now I'll teach you a trick and a half to spend this journey and enjoy it.
The first trick is to do it in a dream.
This trick is the easiest to master and the most practical. Posture varies according to the venue and personal habits. You can stand, lie, sit, sit, and shake your head like chanting. It is best if there are companions snuggling up to each other.
There is also a preparatory type of this trick called closing your eyes. In addition to conditioning the spirit, it can also play a role in avoiding suspicion. For example, the man on the other side wolfs down, and the timbre and taste are together, which is irresistible; Or when a pair of men and women miss each other like nobody's business, they can close their eyes, hold back their true qi and say "quiet, quiet, quiet"
The second trick is to chew slowly.
Food is the most important thing for people, and travel is no exception. In order to play more and better in the limited time, meals are often arranged during the trip. Of course, you don't have to wait until you are hungry. Eating snacks is also a good way to pass the journey. Let time melt slowly in your mouth!
The third trick is all words.
People in China love chatting, chatting at work, chatting at home and going out to chat. Needless to say, people in the same trade will talk to strangers as before. Two or more people, you say something, I say something, ranging from national affairs to trivial matters, covering everything. Happy place, smiling; When you are in love, you will feel sorry for each other. Sometimes we go our separate ways without talking. What a hurry. Sometimes it is particularly speculative, and it is a long time to meet. Since then, all corners of the country are brothers. No wonder CCTV's ace column "Tell the truth" is so popular, just to find a good reason for everyone to get together and chat.
The fourth trick is a hundred tricks.
What can I do during the trip? Playing poker is the most common, ranging from as many as seven or eight people, and one can also use poker to calculate wealth. Nowadays, almost all mobile phones have game functions, so playing some small games like Tetris can definitely kill time, and of course, don't run out of power. In addition, you can also bring some small sports and entertainment equipment, such as badminton, frisbee, shuttlecock, sandbags, folding kites and so on. You can play badminton in Tianjie, Taishan, and play Frisbee on the beach in Sanya ... you will definitely have a taste in your heart.
The fifth trick is to speak like a book.
Read thousands of books and take Wan Li Road. Reading and traveling have been inseparable since ancient times. Most literati like to travel around the mountains, and many famous mountains in Sichuan have benefited from their timeless poems, which have been passed down from generation to generation. People who like reading now always put some favorite books in their bags, and some newspapers and magazines will be provided free of charge on the train. When you concentrate on between the lines, you will forget where you are, enjoy the words and taste life.
The sixth trick is the sound of the sky.
Tired of watching, it's ear's turn to play. There are broadcasting equipment on general means of transport. Listening to the radio and songs will kill time unconsciously. The most comprehensive thing is to bring your own walkman, CD, MP3 or MD, so that music can be put into your pocket and go all the way to Luge. Listen to the beautiful scenery with your heart, and you will find that the music is so wonderful!
The seventh trick is to look at flowers.
Don't miss the delicious scenery along the way. Villages with smoke curling up, wheat fields undulating with the wind, brightly lit cities, green mountains and green waters ... Some places may never have a chance to stop for a minute, but it has passed. In fact, life is also a kind of passing. Pass by, pass by, don't miss it. Take a look! Don't let beauty pass you by.
The eighth trick is a thousand miles away.
Love can be met but not sought. Who doesn't want to have a strange relationship? Titanic and Bridges of Madison County are both classic love stories that happened on the road. Meeting thousands of miles away, maybe your that he (she) will meet unexpectedly on the trip. "Is anyone sitting here?" "Can you help me put my luggage up?" Maybe a lifelong marriage will start from now on.
The ninth skill is to connect the past and the future.
You can make good use of your free time between two tourist destinations: tidy up and check your belongings, write a travel diary and reminisce about the unfinished fun (it is best to write some passionate words and send them to the morning paper! )。 Self-help tours, in particular, need to plan and prepare for food, shelter and transportation in the next trip, just like marching and fighting, which requires planning and decision-making thousands of miles away in advance.
The above fancy show is just an excuse to attract jade. Behind the scenes, there are people outside, and everyone has their own ideas to shine. May you leave good memories in your first May Day trip in the new century.
Eliminate fatigue during travel.
I haven't visited enough scenic spots, and my legs have changed. -How can I avoid fatigue when traveling? I'll give you some hints here.
1. Sit with your neck straight, hands on your head and elbows on your cheeks. Press down slightly to bend your neck forward, and then push your neck back as far as possible. Do this 8 times, each time standing still 1 ~ 2 seconds.
2. Sitting posture with chest and back extended. Before elbow flexion, raise your arms horizontally and lower your head, then extend your arms parallel to the side and back, hold your head up and hold your chest, and do 10 times.
3. Sitting sideways, one hand is inserted into the waist, the other arm is straight up, the upper body is slightly flexed, and the arm is forcibly extended upward for 5 times, and then the other side is changed, and each time it is still 1 ~ 2 seconds.
4. Sit with your waist and abdomen stretched, put your head in your hands, lean forward, then lean back and forth, and elbow abduction. Try to keep your body straight for 3 ~ 4 seconds and do it slowly for 5 times.
5. Sit with your legs straight, bend your knees on your chest, then straighten your legs at the same time and stretch your toes forward. Do it 10 times, each time standing still 1 ~ 2 seconds.
Tourism shopping consumption skills
It is the general psychology of tourists to go out, buy some local specialties and souvenirs and experience the fun of spending in different places. How to shop on the road can be regarded as a science.
First, make trade-offs with local characteristics.
Commodities with local characteristics are not only memorable, but also genuine and have price advantages, which are worth buying by consumers. For example, Longjing in Hangzhou, coconut in Hainan, national costumes in Yunnan and Hada in Tibet. After buying, keep it as a souvenir or give it to friends and relatives, which can be called pleasure.
Second, small and light is the first choice.
Some specialty products are bulky, bulky, inconvenient to carry around, and should not be purchased. When traveling, it is not easy to travel and travel. The less luggage, the better. Some items may be fragile, and you may break them if you are not careful, not to mention wasting money on them.
Third, don't be greedy and cheap.
In some scenic spots, you can often see people selling fake and shoddy goods, such as pearls, necklaces and tea. Tourists should resist the temptation of price and sales. Sometimes I feel that I have got a big bargain. After coming back, after some appraisal, there are not a few people who shout that they have been cheated. Return it again. It's not cost-effective to toss and turn, and you can only admit that you are unlucky.
Skills of hiding money on the trip
When people go out for sightseeing, work or business trip, they are most worried about the loss or theft of "money". So how should we hide money during the trip?
First, we must find a suitable place to hide the money. Money should be stored in blocks, and large bills should be put in several pockets outside underwear and trousers, at least in two places. Yuan and corner tickets are the most frequently used in travel, so the money should be scattered in several pockets outside the coat and trousers, and the total amount of each place is only 35 yuan. In principle, money should not be put in wallets and backpacks. On public transport, it is forbidden to carry it on the door. Jackets and suits should also be zipped or buttoned. It is worth noting that if you have been "grasping" or "clinging" to your wallet for fear of being stolen, cunning thieves will stare at you and wait for an opportunity to start. Therefore, you should always be careful where you hide your money, but don't be too conspicuous.
Secondly, we should master the skills of "taking" money. When traveling, one should remember to "carry a bag to withdraw money", and the other should always keep the structural balance of banknotes of various denominations. It's fifty cents to buy something, not five dollars. You might as well take a "rude" action when taking out small money and catch it all at once. It's a mess. It's only three or five dollars. Even if the thief is around, you are too lazy to start work without "oil and water". When eating, shopping, etc. You need to spend a medium denomination of money, preferably as many integers as possible, and take a few whole money. If you run out of change, you should take out a large bill in a secluded place in time, change it into small and medium-sized bills at the next consumption, and distribute it evenly in all pockets.
Tourism anti-slaughter technology
During the trip, tourists are slaughtered from time to time. It is passive to complain when the legitimate rights and interests are damaged. Mastering some common sense of tourism and learning a little "essence" can avoid being "slaughtered".
First of all, don't believe in hype or avoid advertising. You must choose a travel agency with high transparency, good reputation and good service when traveling with a group. In this way, your travel is guaranteed. Otherwise, the planned luxury bus may become an ordinary bus, a star-rated hotel will become a guest house, and six dishes and two soups will become four dishes and one soup. There are many scenic spots with big scenery and small gardens at home and abroad. You have to buy a ticket to enter the gate and see the small scenery. Some tickets are for tourists themselves. You should consider this as appropriate. If you are not interested or think it is of no ornamental value, then stay away from it. Wandering around, no matter how thick the wallet is, it will soon be hollowed out.
Be more careful when traveling and shopping. For local products and souvenirs of scenic spots and roadside shops, it is best not to buy or buy less. If you decide to buy, you should shop around, so you won't lose by bargaining. Because the prices of goods sold in scenic spots and roadside shops are generally much more expensive than those in local town shops. If you like to follow the crowd, join in the fun, be rich and generous, then you will be "killed" without consultation.
When visiting Hong Kong, whether watching the dolphin show in Ocean Park or enjoying the night view on both sides of Hong Kong and Kowloon, there are always some gentlemen and ladies who take the initiative to take photos for you. If you don't decline politely, these gentlemen and ladies will give you the key ring with your little photo hanging on it accurately when you leave the sightseeing spot. Of course, the asking price will surprise you. At this moment, it is too late to regret.
Travel saves money.
In tourism, as long as you are careful, you can save money without affecting the quality of tourism.
1. Use the time difference to save.
If you don't want to spend too much money and want to travel well, you must first be good at using the time difference to save.
One is to avoid peak season and travel in off-season. Generally speaking, traveling in the off-season is not only convenient to ride, but also because there are few tourists, some hotels have discounts, which can reach more than 50%. On the issue of food, hotels also have different discounts. Therefore, at this point alone, traveling in the off-season costs at least 30% less than that in the peak season.
The second is to plan the return time of the trip and buy tickets in advance or at the same time. Now, in order to attract passengers, some airlines have made provisions for booking air tickets in advance, and the longer the booking time, the greater the discount. At the same time, there are special preferential policies for purchasing round-trip air tickets. This is true for booking air tickets, and there are also discounts for booking train tickets and bus tickets. If you book a train ticket and buy it early, you can temporarily avoid all the formalities of buying a ticket.
Third, when traveling, we should carefully plan the interesting places and the time needed, and try to fill in the dates, because one more day in the tourist area will cost one more day.
2. Choose hotels wisely to save money
Traveling abroad and staying in hotels will affect the quality of tourism and the expenditure of expenses. So how can we live well and cheaply?
First of all, before you go out, you can inquire about the place you want to go, and whether there are any acquaintances to introduce you or the guest houses and stagnation points of enterprises and institutions that you can stay in. If there are any, these recruitment offices and offices with better conditions are preferred, because most enterprises and institutions' guest houses and offices enjoy many "benefits" of their own units, which are generally limited to receiving people related to their own units. Living in such hotels and offices is cheap and safe. Of course, when you choose these guest houses and offices, you should also decide according to the location. If it's inconvenient to travel, you can't live.
Second, when the guest houses and offices of enterprises and institutions are not suitable for them, we should aim at the hotel. When choosing a hotel, you should try to avoid staying in tourist hotels next to bus stations and railway stations, and choose hotels in less prosperous areas with convenient transportation. Because these hotels are much cheaper than hotels near railway stations and bus stations, and hotels in these areas can also be discounted. Nowadays, urban taxis are developing rapidly, and it doesn't matter if you live far away.
3. Playing well can also reduce expenses.
Traveling is one of the most important purposes, and it is necessary to save money on playing. So how to save money?
First of all, you should have a simple understanding of the scenic spot you are going to, and sort out the most distinctive places of this scenic spot and the places you must go. This distinctive place must be. When you visit these places, you should also screen some scenic spots, so you don't have to repeat the construction of the landscape, because these scenic spots are everywhere.
Secondly, when traveling, you should spend some time in the street to see the scenic spots and the local customs of the city, because such a stroll does not need to spend money to buy tickets, but it can have a good mood, because it can enrich your knowledge and cultivate your temperament.
Shopping is shopping, shopping is not a waste of money. In China's traditional tourism concept, there is a hobby that is tourism and shopping. Some people often spend a lot of money on shopping when traveling. So how can we not spend money?
The first thing is to buy as little as possible when traveling, because shopping is inconvenient to travel, and the prices in tourist areas are generally high, so it is not cost-effective to buy things. At the same time, it is worth noting that remember not to buy expensive things. When selling valuables, some tourist areas often use various methods to sell fakes in view of the high mobility of customers. If you buy these valuables, once the tourists come back and find that they have been cheated, they have to admit that they are unlucky because the journey is too long. Of course, you also need to buy some items when traveling abroad, one is to give them to relatives and friends, and the other is to keep them as souvenirs. So what should I buy? Generally, I just buy some local goods with better prices than my own place. These goods are both cheap and distinctive.
Travel expenses are extensive and there are many ways to save them. Once you travel, you can save according to your actual situation. Good savings can also increase the number of trips.
Clever ticket purchase in tourist season
The "golden" tourism season in October is coming again. Many citizens who go sightseeing together will choose to travel by train. However, due to the concentration of tourists and the shortage of tickets, how can citizens buy train tickets skillfully to save energy and time? It is wise to learn to buy return tickets and connecting tickets.
A few days ago, several tourists came to the ticket window of Shanghai Railway Station to buy tickets. They are going to Hangzhou for a few days, and then to Nanchang, Jiangxi. After learning their itinerary, the conductor immediately suggested that they buy tickets from Hangzhou to Nanchang in advance, so that they can buy tickets at one time and have no worries throughout the journey. These tourists were very happy when they knew that they could buy train tickets from Hangzhou to Nanchang in Shanghai. They are worried about whether they can buy tickets in Hangzhou!
According to Li Yi, director of the ticketing department of Shanghai Railway Station, although the station officially launched a service to facilitate passengers to buy return tickets and connecting tickets in March this year, many passengers still know nothing about this convenience service. According to statistics, Shanghai Railway Station only sells nearly 70,000 return and joint tickets every month, which is still a small number compared with the total number of 265,438+10,000 tickets sold by the station every month.
According to the regulations of the Ministry of Railways, at present, passengers can buy return or joint tickets for any train from the departure station. Roughly speaking, there are thousands of stations in the national railway with departure trains, which greatly facilitates passengers to arrange their trips in a planned way and sometimes "avoid congestion" For example, tickets from Shanghai to Urumqi have been tight, but passengers can easily buy tickets from Shanghai to Lanzhou and then from Lanzhou to Urumqi. There are two buses from Lanzhou to Urumqi every day, and the connection time in Lanzhou is ideal, only two or three hours.
Of course, it is an objective fact that the railway capacity can't keep up with the demand in the tourist season, and it is sometimes difficult for nervous passengers to buy some return and joint tickets. At present, according to the regulations of the railway department, 15% berth tickets and 10% hard seat tickets will be drawn from all the departure trains at each departure station, and will be "put on the line" two days in advance to 12 days, and will be sold at all stations in the country. However, some big stations where tourists are concentrated, such as Shanghai Railway Station and Beijing Railway Station, have many transit passengers and have a great demand for tickets. Sometimes, tickets for "surfing the Internet" are quickly snapped up. However, few people pay attention to the "online" tickets of some smaller stations. The reason is that many passengers have not established the consciousness of buying return tickets and connecting tickets in their minds, nor have they mastered the trick of "detouring" to avoid peak sections and reach their destinations.
If you and your relatives and friends are going to travel during the National Day holiday this year, you might as well ask more when buying a train ticket: "Is there a return ticket to buy?"
"self-help" travel guide
1. Determine the tourist destination. Before determining the tourism goal, time should be considered first, followed by economic affordability. Combining these two factors, we can basically arrange the general direction of the destination.
2. Understand the traffic situation. Once you have determined your travel goals, you must master the traffic conditions so that you can know what you are doing. Look at the map first, find out the most time-saving and money-saving methods, write down the names of the main towns to pass through, and then decide whether to take land, air or water, or land, sea and air at the same time. You should know the departure time of the vehicle you want to take, the exact location of the station, wharf and airport, and book tickets as much as possible to reduce the tension of temporary ticket purchase.
3. Preparation before departure.
