🔹【Pre-departure Checklist】Spend 10 minutes before going out to avoid 80% of the troubles on the road
Whether it is a short weekend trip or a long trip across provinces, the preparations made before the trip directly affects and determines the smoothness of the entire journey. In terms of documents, in addition to the ID card, it is recommended to carry an additional paper copy with you and place it in the mezzanine of the suitcase to prevent the original from being lost. If you choose to travel by car, your driver's license and driving license must be carefully checked. At the same time, use your mobile phone to take a photo of the electronic version of the policy. The matching of clothing needs to follow the principle of "onion layering" to cope with changes in temperature differences. Here is a little trick: pack the clothes that need to be changed every day in sealed bags separately. This can not only save space, but also classify dirty clothes. Don’t forget to bring your power bank and three-in-one data cable. Shared power banks in many service areas are not only expensive, but they are often full and there are no vacancies.
🔹[Traffic Regulations] Hard-core common sense about high-speed rail seat selection and self-driving “risk avoidance”
It is the peak period of summer travel. When choosing high-speed rail travel, try to choose "window seats A/F" as early as possible. This is not only because of the beautiful scenery outside the window, but also to prevent the aisle position from being disturbed by frequent trolleys and embarrassing situations. If you are traveling with children, remember to apply for the "Key Passenger" service on the relevant 12306 platform. This service is not limited to patients. It is also in compliance with the regulations when you are traveling with children or the elderly and require relevant assistance. Friends who choose to travel by car must remember that tire pressure monitoring is more critical than usual in summer, because the high temperature on the road surface can easily cause tire blowouts, so before setting off, you should walk around the vehicle to check whether there are stones or nails in the tire gaps. If you encounter "water slide" on the highway, you need to hold the steering wheel tightly and release the accelerator. Do not rush to brake suddenly. It is compulsory to enter the service area to take a rest every two hours. This is common sense in terms of traffic safety that is related to saving lives.
🔹【Accommodation Choice】Not just for sleeping, but also a safe haven for travel
When booking a hotel, don't just look at the refined pictures. Open the comment area and "sort by time" to see the latest reviews, focusing on the "sanitation" and "safety" keywords in the negative reviews. After checking in, the first thing to do is not to lie down, but to check the door chain and peephole. If there is any damage, you must change rooms immediately. If you are staying in a B&B, make sure there is a front desk that provides 24-hour service or surveillance coverage. When traveling alone, you can ask for an extra room card from the front desk and insert it into the power outlet to create the illusion that "someone is there". Remember the location of the escape route. This action takes less than 1 minute and can save lives at critical moments. If the rooms are connected, you can hang a "Do Not Disturb" sign to reduce the frequency of cleaning in and out and protect privacy.
🔹【Guide to Avoid Traps】The "invisible traps" of consumption in scenic spots
Most of the so-called "free passages for locals" at the entrances of scenic spots are scams. In some cases, they will take you to the side door to climb over the wall, and in other cases, they will charge a temporary increase. If you want to eat authentic food, then open the map and search for "vegetable market" or "old community", where there are real canteens for locals to eat. When buying specialties, try to avoid the central area of the scenic spot and walk two streets away to buy them, the price can be half cheaper. If you encounter a "free sample" or "free photo" situation, you must first ask whether there are any additional costs incurred later. It’s best not to join the so-called low-priced one-day tour groups that solicit customers on the roadside, because there are often hidden shopping places and items that require extra payment. In fact, in the final calculation, they are more expensive than those regular groups. When shopping, you should keep the receipt. If you encounter a dispute, this is the only thing that can be used as a voucher.
🔹【Safety Emergency】If you are in danger, these few steps can help you escape quickly
When you are in a crowded place, if you are lost or in danger, don't just shout "Help", but shout to a specific person: "That big brother in red, help me call the police!" This way, you can quickly identify the person asking for help. Set up emergency contacts and SOS functions on your phone. Most phones can be triggered by pressing the power button 5 times in a row. Assuming you are hiking outdoors, before setting off, you need to send the route and estimated return time to your relatives and friends, and download the offline map. In the event of sudden weather, stay away from billboards and dead trees, and do not hide under the pavilion. Always keep a small pack of hemostatic patches, iodophor cotton swabs and a small bottle of Fengyoujing in your bag. These small items can often solve emergency situations.
🔹[Convenient Tips] "Speed-up Lifestyle" Techniques Used by Locals
When you arrive in an unfamiliar city and want to find a public restroom, you can directly search for "public restroom" or "KFC" on the navigation system. The latter is often cleaner and open 24 hours a day. When taking the bus or subway, you can directly turn on the NFC on your mobile phone or the travel code on the payment software, which saves at least 10 minutes compared to queuing to buy tickets. If you want to check the real time-honored shops in the local area, click on the review software and use "sort by distance" to filter the shops around old residential areas. If your phone is out of power and you can't find a power bank, you can go to the service desk on the first floor of a large shopping mall or a mobile phone brand authorized store, which usually provides free emergency charging. Finally, remember that the national tourism service hotline 12301 with special color markings, if you encounter unreasonable charges or forced consumption, you need to directly retain evidence and then file a complaint. This is the most hard-core tourist avoidance guide with special color markings.
