The May Day holiday is coming, and sometimes I really feel that if I travel in China for two or three days, I am afraid that I will be able to travel abroad for a week! In fact, overseas travel is not as expensive as I imagined.
Especially for domestic long holidays, reverse outbound travel is more cost-effective.
It took Qiuqiu 1 year to summarize the most cost-effective gameplay strategy for outbound travel in 2024.
There are visa-free and direct flights, covering weekends (1-2 days), May Day, Dragon Boat Festival (3-5 days), National Day (5-7 days), Spring Festival (8-10 days), different holiday lengths and different destinations are recommended.
1-2 days
No need to ask for time off
On weekends, special forces go hiking in the mountains and seas, and go shopping and eating on the streets
/ Sai Kung, Hong Kong, come to the paradise of outdoor people for hiking/
Hong Kong, which can be said to go at any time, for Qiuqiu, which has been to several times, it not only has a bustling city, but also the other side of returning to nature, and the treasure of Hong Kong for outdoor people is - Sai Kung, where friends with good physical strength can really come here to "go up the mountain and down to the sea", which is completely a treasure island.
It is far away from the hustle and bustle of the city, and is loved by rich stars from all walks of life, and I have seen Liu Qingyun wearing a straw hat and driving Guo Aiming for a ride, and I have also met Wu Yanzu, who is handsome to the earth when walking his dog. The simplicity and culture of the small fishing village, fishermen go out to sea every day to catch seafood, and it is a good place for Hong Kong people to forage for food on weekends.
The most famous scenery here is the MacLehose Trail, which is one of the 20 most beautiful hiking routes in the world, with a total distance of 100km, of which the first and second sections have the best scenery, such as High Island Reservoir, Po Bien Chau, and Lang Ke Wan...... It's a beautiful sight that makes you reluctant to close your eyes all the way. If you have good physical strength, you can play from Shenzhen to Hong Kong in a day round-trip, which is very suitable for a weekend special forces check-in trip.
Tips: It is said that the end point of the hike on the MacLehose Trail in Hong Kong is an outdoor store, and you can concentrate on Mong Kok to purchase a wave of outdoor products. Kitty backpacks are basically 7-8 fold, there are a lot of styles that a treasure does not have; Salomon hats are only more than 100, a treasure on the original price of 1k off-road bags, as long as 500 years; keen styles are complete, almost folded in half, a treasure Internet celebrity style is only 500 a pair;
/Macau, the world's gastronomic capital citywalk/
In terms of food, Macau is certified by the United Nations as the "World Capital of Gastronomy", with many Michelins, and the old town is even more delicious.
A recommended Citywalk route is as follows: Rue de la Cunya – The Venetian – The Parisian – Londoner – Wynn Palace.
You can eat almost all of Macao's traditional specialties, such as water crab congee, smoked pomfret, dace cake, raw congee, barbecued pork with honey sauce, durian ice cream, bamboo pole pressed noodles, macaroons, wood bran pudding, handmade coffee......
You can also walk around Parisian, Londoner, and Wynn Palace along the way.
In Hong Kong or Macau, shopping, dining, especially shopping malls, the most convenient way to save money is to swipe a credit card, it is highly recommended to bring a Ping An Bank credit card.
Ping An Bank's recent upgrade of the "Ping An Departure, Taste the World" overseas activity is quite surprising, and the discount is very large.
First of all, let's talk about this Ping An Bank credit card "88 cashback for overseas consumption" activity, which is equal to outbound cashback and saving money.
From April 1 to June 30, 2024, Ping An Bank credit card customers will have the opportunity to enjoy an 88% cashback as long as they register on the "Overseas 88 Cashback" activity page in the Ping An Pocket Bank app and spend a total of RMB 5,000 equivalent (or US$710) at overseas offline merchants every month. The maximum rebate per account per card set is RMB 888 (or USD 126) per period.
There is also an overseas "first brush 88 cashback". After registration, you can enjoy 8.8 yuan cashback if you use your Ping An Bank credit card to spend the same amount of RMB 88 in a single transaction at an overseas offline merchant POS.
Visiting a variety of outdoor brand stores in Hong Kong and Macau is really fragrant, with a perennial 5-8% discount, plus an exchange rate of 9.2, plus the bleeding benefit of Ping An Bank credit card, you can really save a lot.
3-4 days
Visas are simplified and cheap air tickets are available every month
If you take a fly, you can leave the country for the weekend
/ South Korea, direct flight 1.5h Baekben to Jeju Island to see the sea /
Jeju Island appears in almost every romantic Korean drama, and more importantly, it is not only visa-free for Chinese, but also a direct flight from Shanghai in 1 and a half hours. The island is dotted with trendy seaview cafes, authentic Korean restaurants where you can enjoy the beautiful sea view while dining, and Shilla Duty Free and OliveYoung where you can shop to your heart's content.
/Lake Yamanaka, Japan, Mt. Fuji Panviewbo/
Mt. Fuji is one of the classic symbols of the Japanese spirit and culture, and in the hearts of the Japanese people, it is a beautiful and majestic mountain with natural charm! Even if you don't plan to climb Mt. Fuji, you can enjoy the beauty of the volcanic area. The five lakes here reflect the perfectly cone-shaped peaks, and the best viewing area is around Lake Kawaguchi.
The most famous photo spot is to stand at the main entrance of the Kawaguchiko Lawson convenience store, and you can see the entire summit of Mt. Fuji, which resembles a cheese milk cap for fruit tea.
There is also a beautiful café by the lake in the mountains, which has a perfect view of Mt. Fuji and is 70 per person, and the pancakes and breakfast are very good.
At present, the conditions for the relaxation of Japanese visas are very simplified, convenient and fast, and the visa will be issued within 5-7 working days.
If you use a Ping An Bank credit card, during the event, cardholders can go to the designated channels of the event (including Ping An Bank Pocket APP, Royal Chartered Travel APP, and Royal Chartered Travel WeChat Mini Program) to apply for visa business, and enjoy up to 20% discount on visa products, with a maximum discount of 100 yuan, and the lucky draw will also have the opportunity to enjoy free orders.
Also, I don't need to say more about how easy it is to buy in Japan and South Korea.
Especially in Tokyo, in addition to cosmetics and outdoor brands, Tokyo second-hand stores are also super easy to visit, 3,000 into Gucci, 5,000 small incense is not a problem. Every time I go to Japan, Qiuqiu brings a 28-inch suitcase just to buy and buy. At this time, you can easily accumulate 5k with Ping An Bank credit card, and you will have the opportunity to enjoy 88% cash back on the excess part.
5-6 days
You can also travel abroad by train
Southeast Asia, which is the most familiar, also has niche gameplay
/ Luang Prabang, Laos, you can go abroad for less than 200 by high-speed rail/
In the always hot Southeast Asian tourism market, Laos has always been the most inconspicuous and easily overlooked country.
But with the opening of the China-Laos Railway, you only need to spend less than 200 yuan from Xishuangbanna to reach Luang Prabang, the famous ancient capital of Laos.
It is not as popular as Chiang Mai, but it has a Buddhist culture that is not inferior to Chiang Mai, and Theravada Buddhism, which is integrated into the lives of ordinary people, is more approachable. Not as famous as Vietnam, but there is a French style that is not inferior to Vietnam, walking around the streets, and going to a European town in a trance.
Up: @ins/Bottom: @图虫创意
Step 1: Depart from Xishuangbanna or Kunming, take a train to Mohan Station, and then carpool to Mohan Port.
Step 2: Pass through the customs from Mohan and take the shuttle bus to the Boding port.
Step 3: After completing the landing visa at the port, go to Boten high-speed rail station. Then buy a ticket and take the bus, and you can go to Laos.
The whole process is not convenient, but it is cheaper (the visa and train ticket add up to about ¥400), and it is also a very special experience.
▲ Check in Haruki Murakami in the same lying position
Luang Prabang, although the price is very low, hides a lot of luxury boutique hotels that will change your impression.
Not as popular as Bali, but it has become the favorite holiday destination of the founder of Aman, one of the world's top luxury hotels, and at the age of 84, he still travels back and forth to this small town with the shadow of his childhood. From the exquisitely located Amantaka to The Luang Say Residence, a member of SLH's world luxury boutique hotels...... The flow of time seems to have slowed down, which is very suitable for a slow walk, a daze, and a few days of "lying flat".
/Siargao, Philippines, a surfing paradise comparable to Hawaii/
Qiuqiu has recommended many beautiful and dreamy islands, but there is such an island, which is obviously as fun as Thailand and Malaysia, but it has always been misunderstood by the Chinese people - it is the Philippines.
Especially if you want to learn to surf, I recommend Siargao in the Philippines for its mysterious mangrove forests, white sand beaches, and great waves, known as the surfing capital of the Philippines.
It's not like Palau or Fiji, which is difficult to get to. Domestic departure can be direct in 1.5h at the earliest, visas are issued in seconds, and Chinese mainland tourists with valid visas for Japan, the United States, Canada, Australia, and Schengen can enter and stay for 7 days without a visa for tourism purposes.
Ninety per cent of the visitors who come here are Australian surfers, and there are almost no Chinese.
The price is surprisingly cheap, and 3k luxury for a week is not a problem.
50 yuan per capita, and the group ate a crab and seafood feast;
Make an appointment with a surf instructor in advance, 500 pesos per hour, or 70 yuan, one-on-one teaching;
For 100 yuan, you can go to the sea to jump on the island and have a whole day of fun, with a non-toxic jellyfish lake comparable to Palau;
When going to Southeast Asia and other countries, especially for outdoor sports, overseas insurance is still essential. With Ping An Bank credit card, you can receive up to 3 million travel accident protection for free.
In the case of death or disability while traveling abroad, the maximum claim can reach 300,000 yuan.
In addition to these major accidents, Ping An Bank credit card also takes into account the safety of personal belongings that many people will overlook. If you lose your documents or luggage during the trip, but if you have an overseas travel insurance coupon with a Ping An Bank credit card, you can enjoy the protection of the loss of overseas checked baggage, documents and items.
It can give you enough confidence to deal with these unexpected situations, so to speak, you can say that you have a card in hand, and you don't have to worry about safety anymore.
7-10 days
It sounds lofty, but it's not expensive to go once
There are also cost-effective destinations in Africa and Europe
/ Córdoba, Spain/
Unlike the imaginary European travel is high prices, the price of Spain in Europe belongs to the middle level, not very high, especially the food is everywhere, the restaurant is cheap, Qiuqiu went to it once in April, 1w played all over Spain's 6 small cities for 12 days, it is more cost-effective than Southeast Asia.
It doesn't have the modernity and tradition of Sweden, the exoticism of the Czech Republic, the dignified elegance of Austria, or the antiquity and mystery of Greece... As the brightest jewel of the Iberian Peninsula, it has been one of the cultural centers of Europe for thousands of years, with a rich history and splendid culture.
Every May, the most beautiful "courtyard festival" in Spain is also held in Córdoba. That's when it's a real feast of flowers. This ancient and charming town is like a shy and sweet girl, and you can encounter the beauty of spring all day long when you go into an alley. The daily hobbies of the locals are nothing more than planting flowers and making handicraft ceramics. Wander the winding alleys of Córdoba, forget the map and follow your instincts to discover the city's hidden tastes.
/ Egyptian Red Sea /
If your image of Egypt is limited to pyramids, mummies and masked Arab maidens, it's time to refresh it.
The stereotype of Egypt may be labelled as barren and unsafe, but the Red Sea region of Egypt has the power to turn the tide and add a touch of color to your trip to Egypt that is far more beautiful than you can imagine.
