Jiangxi Tourism Peak Season Travel Guide (Summer Vacation, National Day)
Jiangxi is a province with abundant tourism resources. During the 2019 National Day ‘Golden Week’ period alone, a total of 6261.61 (people) of tourists were received, with famous 5A scenic areas such as Lushan, Jingshan, Longhu Mountain, Sanshan Mountain, and Wuyuan. How to arrange the summer vacation and National Day travel to Jiangxi in the most reasonable way?
1. First, we need to understand: 1. What time period has the most tourists?
During the entire year, the peak tourist season for Lushan is from July 10th to August 20th, and during the National Day period, as well as the weekends during the National Day, the number of visitors is the highest. Other scenic areas also have the highest number of visitors on October 2, 3, and 4 during the National Day. Although there are many tourists on weekends during the summer, the crowding is far less than Lushan (Lushan is a famous cool escape destination).
2. What time period has the highest hotel prices?
During the entire year, the peak tourist season for Lushan is from July 10th to August 20th, and during the National Day period, the hotel prices are highest. Normally, the price is 140-160 yuan per room of three-star standard double rooms, and during the summer vacation and National Day, it can sell for 300 yuan outside the weekend, 500-800 yuan on Friday and Saturday, and on October 1st and 5th, the price is similar to the summer vacation non-weekend, and on October 2, 3, and 4, it's similar to the summer vacation weekend. On October 6th and 7th, the price is only slightly higher than the usual price. The higher the grade of the hotel, the greater the price increase during the National Day period, and hotels are not willing to book with travel agencies, preferring to book with online platforms such as Ctrip for individual customers, which has a larger profit space.
3. Weather
It is recommended to check the weather forecast 40 days before departure, which is not very accurate, so it is only a preliminary estimation. Checking the forecast 15 days in advance is relatively accurate. Lushan and Sanshan Mountain are not suitable for travel when it rains, while light rain is not a big problem, as the scenery on the mountains after rain may be more magical, and heavy rain is dangerous to travel.
4. Transportation
It is necessary to check the flight and train tickets in advance before departure, otherwise everything is meaningless.
2. Reasonable arrangement
1. If the weather is good and the time is relatively free, travel during the summer vacation. Lushan can be arranged between July 1st and 10th or August 20th and 31st, both of which are within the summer vacation period, with relatively low prices and fewer tourists. If you can only travel between July 10th and August 20th, it is best to avoid weekends (weekend hotel prices are indeed very high), and during the National Day, all scenic areas should be avoided on October 2nd and 3rd, as these are the days with the most visitors per year (except Wuyuan, whose peak season is in early March to early April, weekends during the flowering of rapeseed blossoms). You can use the one-day itinerary: October 1, 4, 5, 6, 7, two-day itinerary (staying in the scenic area for one night): 101, 4, 5, 6 (excluding round-trip transportation time).
2. If the weather is bad, choose a day with good weather within the suitable time period, adjust the time to travel.
3. Professional reminders
1. During the peak season (summer weekends, National Day 2, 3rd), Lushan hotel reservations must be made in advance, it's difficult to find one after arriving, it’s likely to cost 800-1000 yuan per room. It is recommended to book online in advance and confirm with the hotel seller that you will be booked, otherwise you may be arranged to another hotel.
2. Lushan guides 'cut corners' quickly, be careful when eating.
3. Longhu Mountain Scenic Area is quite scattered, and the time for the suspended coffin performance needs to be carefully arranged, so the lunch time is relatively late, so bring some snacks, and during the summer vacation on the bamboo raft, it's very hot (about 40 minutes), so bring an umbrella and a hat and drinks, and don't wear short sleeves and shorts to avoid being burned by the sun.
4. Sanshan Mountain when hiking will sweat a lot, eat a full meal on the mountain, it’s okay to bring food, bring plenty of drinks.
5. Nanchang incoming and outgoing conventional scattered assembly tourism routes include: Lushan one/two-day tour, Jingshan two-day tour, Longhu Mountain one/two-day tour, Longhu Mountain + Sanshan Mountain two-day tour, Wuyuan + Jingdezhen two-day tour, Wuyuan + Sanshan Mountain two-day tour.
Finally, wishing all travelers to Jiangxi for a happy and smooth visit!
