When traveling to Yunnan after May Day, what will the weather be like? Is there anything I should pay attention to?
Smart accommodation when traveling
With the improvement of living standards, more and more people are traveling, and accommodation is a big problem when traveling. How can you find the ideal place to live? The following are some experiences for reference.
First of all, you should choose low-end beds in high-end hotels instead of high-end beds in low-end hotels. Generally, due to the architectural layout of high-end hotels, there are always some low-end beds with not bad conditions, and the price may be lower than beds in ordinary guest houses. However, because the overall service facilities of high-end hotels are complete, restaurants, bathrooms, dance halls, etc. are open to all tourists, and the environment is relatively good, they can enjoy high-end services at low-end prices. On the contrary, the overall facilities of low-end hotels are poor, and some do not even have restaurants and bathrooms. Therefore, even if you stay in a high-end bed, you will be troubled by the noisy environment and inconvenient living.
Secondly, choose suburban hotels with relatively concentrated tourist attractions. Do not stay in hotels near stations or docks. Some tourists think it is more convenient to stay here because of the convenience of getting on and off the ferry. However, they do not know that the price is high, which is often 20% to 30% higher than hotels of the same level. Second, it is extremely noisy. Guests come in and out 24 hours a day. There are cars honking and boats honking outside the window, and people in the corridor are noisy. It is not good to rest at all. And choose suburban hotels with relatively concentrated scenic spots, which are not only quiet, but also have a beautiful environment, are convenient for visiting, and can also save some travel expenses. If financial conditions permit, you can stay in a hotel or restaurant. The hotels and restaurants are in good condition, the service is attentive, and the room rates are relatively reasonable, so you can enjoy yourself here.
A final rule of thumb is, regardless of the quality of your accommodation, start by paying only for one day. If you want to extend your stay, you will have to pay for another day at 12 o'clock the next day, so don't be afraid of trouble. In this way, no matter whether the plan changes or the idea changes after seeing "good things", there will be no loss.
Wear travel clothes smartly
◆Clothes
1. Wear in multiple layers
One piece is worth three pieces, warm, breathable, comfortable and lightweight +Windproof and rainproof. The so-called "practical + functional design" clothing refers to the combination of practical value and multi-functional design, allowing you to wear one piece worth several pieces. It can block the wind when it is windy and waterproof when it rains. , can be protected when the weather is cold. Relatively speaking, whether it is beautiful or not becomes secondary. Generally speaking, outdoor casual clothing products have a wide range, including T-shirts, sweatshirts, casual pants, vests, coats, windbreakers, jackets, etc. Their designs mostly emphasize high-tech materials and multiple functionalities, such as multi-layer zippers, waterproof Water-soaked pocket design, retractable hood, and more.
2. Onion-style wearing method
Multi-layered wearing with a breathable bottom layer, a warm middle layer, and a windproof and waterproof outer layer allows you to wear it easily as the temperature changes during travel. Take off your clothes. Bottom series: It is a layer that is close to the human skin. It often uses Coolmax technology materials and is extremely breathable, allowing sweat to be quickly discharged and keeping the skin dry. The series of clothing includes T-shirts, sweatshirts, etc. Mid-layer series: Made of the lightest and breathable fabric, Polartec technology material is used to ensure that sweat evaporated from the bottom layer can evaporate and has a thermal insulation effect. The range of clothing includes pullovers, vests or zippered close-fitting jackets. Outer layer series: The focus of this series is to "maintain the wearer's body temperature even in wind, rain or other bad weather, and have a breathable effect. In order to completely discharge the sweat from the middle and bottom layers of the clothing, this The series is made of waterproof and breathable fabrics, including Gore-Tex, Activevt, Gore, Wind, Stopper, Rib-stop, etc. The series of clothing includes windproof jackets, hooded jackets, mountaineering jackets, etc. 3. Tips for purchasing travel clothing. a. The material should be light: The lightweight design is not only comfortable to wear, but also takes up less space when stored. b. It has good breathability and sufficient warmth; the technical material can discharge moisture from the body while maintaining body temperature, allowing the outside to cool down. Cold air cannot get in. c. Waterproof design: If you choose to travel to rainy areas or snowy areas, waterproof design of outer clothing is a must-have. d. Multi-pocket design or multi-functional hidden pockets: Multi-pocket design is convenient. The small things you carry with you have a "hiding place" and are clearly classified, making it much easier to find. The inner secret pocket design allows you to "closely store" your important items, such as cash, documents, etc. Avoid being stolen.
◆Shoes
1. Comfort is the first factor, followed by shock absorption + grip + anti-slip + warmth. Generally speaking, if you go to the tropics or islands for water activities When activities and land visits are mainly, you can choose to wear sports sandals or casual shoes; when going to urban areas, mainly for sightseeing or shopping, it is recommended to wear ordinary flat casual shoes; if you go to mountainous areas, you can wear hiking, When running or exploring the jungle and other outdoor activities, it is best to choose sports and leisure shoes with large soles, strong grip, non-slip and wear-resistant. The key to reducing the impact between the feet and the ground when walking is the design of the soles. In terms of "shock-absorbing function", thick rubber-soled shoes are much better than thin leather-soled shoes. If the shock-absorbing power of the shoes is not good, it can easily cause discomfort to the feet and cause pain. On the other hand, professional casual shoes also have air cushions. Designed to effectively reduce impact. The one-piece design that conforms to ergonomics allows your feet to be completely relaxed, so you won’t feel tired even if you travel long distances. It is recommended that you compare before purchasing, and the most important thing is to try it on. Take a look and let your feet grade themselves.
2. Shoe design analysis B.S.F.P high-efficiency sports system - whether walking or climbing, your feet are constantly repeating four actions - Brake (anti-slip), Sopport ( Support), Flex (extension), Propet (propulsion), and the pressure on the foot is roughly distributed in an S-shape along the center line. The B.S.F.P high-efficiency motion system can provide enhanced friction, elasticity and flexibility according to different pressure distributions and is suitable for long-term wear. ACTTECHNOLOGY quadruple sweat wicking system - the first layer of sweat wicking is close to the skin and absorbs sweat. The second layer of sweat-wicking lining uses a man-made fiber padded tongue to replace the non-breathable cushions used in ordinary leather shoes to speed up the circulation of air and temperature. The third layer of breathable nylon stitching can quickly evaporate moisture from the first and second layers. The last step is the tongue of the drainage shoe, which is designed with extremely breathable needle fiber mixed with light nylon to evaporate all foot sweat and keep feet dry.
3. How to wear various activities: a. Shopping: general clothing + casual shoes b. Outing and traveling: windproof jacket + multi-functional outdoor sports shoes or casual sandals c. Snow: snow jacket + waterproof Boots or snow boots d. Jungles and swamps: waterproof jacket + sports sandals or sailing shoes e. Rock climbing and fishing: windproof vest + multifunctional outdoor sports shoes f. Selection principles: light weight, resistant to falling, and accessories with complete functions< /p>
◆Luggage
Suitcases or backpacks carried with you are the basic equipment when traveling. If you can choose a fully functional travel bag, the effect will be better. In addition to the wear-resistant wheels and sturdy base, the hard-shell material of the suitcase can also protect the contents from extrusion and impact. However, the disadvantage of hard-shell suitcases is that the internal capacity is fixed, so you can’t stuff more stuff in them if you want. In order to meet the needs of young people, there are more and more styles of luggage on the market. The front is made of soft material, and the other recessed spaces are designed with a hard shell, allowing users to use more space and stuff more belongings. In order to facilitate transportation, the wheels of suitcases are mostly made of the same material as the wheels of inline skates, and they also have the characteristics of "wear-resistant and slippery (smooth towing)". Since travel bags need to be carried around, their design is more user-friendly than suitcases. In addition to the basic "waterproof" function, there are also widened and S-shaped strap designs, which make the backpack design more ergonomic and more comfortable to carry. Moreover, the anti-slip material design of the straps can also avoid the problem of the backpack constantly slipping when people wear clothes made of shiny materials. In addition, a soft pad is added to the contact area between the backpack and the back to prevent the contents of the backpack from directly hitting the back. The overall design can disperse the weight of the backpack and reduce your burden.
Notes on traveling by car
▲Choose a travel companion:
When driving a long distance, it is best to choose someone who understands basic vehicle maintenance techniques; Find people according to the number of seats; the number of women should not exceed that of men.
▲Nip in the bud
1. Before setting off for a short trip, conduct a simple inspection of the vehicle to see if there is any oil leakage, water shortage, etc.; before setting off for a long trip, conduct a detailed inspection of the vehicle Any part, especially the engine.
2. When traveling by car, it is best to travel in two or more cars so that you can look after each other in the event of an accident.

When traveling, you can finally relax, but you must know that the smoother the road, the more likely it is that unexpected things will happen that you can't handle. Don’t be too confident in the driving skills you have trained on the traffic-jammed Second Ring Road. As a driver, you must keep a clearer mind than your peers and let go of the excitement of traveling.
7. Don’t wait for the oil to run out before refueling. When the oil is half gone, fill it up at any time when you see a good gas station. Don’t be afraid of trouble. In this way, even if you can’t add good oil, you will still burn better. Burning secondary oil will cause little damage to the car. If you are traveling for a short distance, it is best not to carry gasoline; if you are traveling for a long distance and far away from the road, it is best to prepare 1-2 iron gasoline barrels that are safe to carry.
▲In danger:
Once the car breaks down on the road, if it is daytime and the road conditions are good, you can consider towing it; if it is night or it is inconvenient to tow the car, you can call the local 114 to inquire about the car. Rescue number to request rescue.
Towing techniques include: the towing rope should be kept straight; the front and rear vehicle speeds should be consistent; when the vehicle in front is parking or turning, it is necessary to step on the brake light twice or turn on the turn signal in advance to remind the vehicle behind to avoid collision. .
Relieve driving fatigue:
1. If possible, find a companion to drive instead;
2. Keep eating melon seeds during breaks;
3. Play music with strong rhythm.
▲The choice of vehicle
should be based on the basic road conditions of the place you are going.
If the road conditions are good, there is no problem in driving an RV; if the road conditions are poor, it is best to change to an off-road vehicle, such as a Jeep, Cherokee, etc. Usually you have the following choices: Beijing Jeep BJ2020: good climbing performance, good grip with rough tire patterns, but poor warmth in the cabin and not fast on flat ground; Cherokee 4-cylinder 4×2: far inferior to others in climbing performance Three models, and two-wheel drive affects off-roading; Cherokee 4-cylinder 4×4: its climbing performance is not as good as BJ2020. Four-wheel drive makes its off-road performance excellent, but it is not as fast as a 6-cylinder 4×4 on the highway; Cherokee 6-cylinder 4 ×4: The climbing performance and off-road performance are not much different from the 4-cylinder 4×4, but it can run very fast on the highway. Suggestion: If you really want to drive your Cherokee off-road, and if you know that the road conditions are extremely bad, you can change to 4 coarse-grained tires to enhance the road grip function.
▲ Essentials for driving: For short weekend trips, you need to have 2 strong tow ropes (or buy a tow bar); 1 spare tire;
▲Repair Vehicle tools: jack, quick tire sealant, pliers, sheet metal, antifreeze and anti-skid chains are also needed on ice and snow days;
Rag: When the weather is cold, the side windows will be filled with moisture due to the temperature difference between the inside and outside of the car. , the co-pilot should wipe the side windows frequently to ensure that the driver can see the side mirrors clearly at all times; if it rains or snows, mud and snow will cover the headlights and hinder lighting, so they should be removed in time;
Local map. When driving outside, it is best to know the general route you are taking. Once the car breaks down halfway, you can report the approximate location when requesting rescue;
Flashlight and other lighting tools;
Mobile phone and other communication tools to keep in touch between cars at any time;
Basic daily necessities: toilet paper, disinfectant paper towels, sanitary chopsticks, table knives, tea (more thirst-quenching and fatigue-free than any drink); simple Medical supplies: band-aids, berberine, eye drops; music: personal preference; other equipment: sunscreen, binoculars, sunglasses, an extra pair of eyes for people with short-sightedness; clothes: bring a hat with a hat, if you go hiking, you must Wear rubber-soled sports shoes with rough texture; when driving for long distances, in addition to the above essentials, you also need to prepare fresh water; first aid kit (bleeding bags, bandages, gauze, etc.); compass; warning signs: to remind passing vehicles in the event of an accident ; Stove: It is best to use a gas stove, which can bring a lot of warmth to the journey whether you are camping or hiking, and gas is easy to carry. Two small cans can be used for 4-5 days; shower curtain: if you go to an undeveloped beach or lake, it can be used as a changing room and bathroom before and after swimming.
Tourists' "talisman"
According to the consumer characteristics of paying first and then getting on the road, travel contracts naturally become tourists' talisman. Although there are other factual verifications, when tourists have disputes with travel agencies or individuals, the important basis for the tourism management department to make decisions is still the contract. Before traveling, tourists must sign a travel contract with a travel agency, clarifying the number of tourist attractions, tour guide service standards, and the responsibilities and obligations of the travel agency. If a travel agency fails to act in accordance with the contract, such as changing the hotel star rating, lowering dining standards, changing sleeper seats to hard seats, etc., tourists must truly record the fact of the breach of contract and the consequences so that they can complain to the relevant departments in the future. On the contrary, tourists must notify the travel agency in advance of any changes to the agreement, such as temporarily leaving the group or returning, and it is best to reach a written agreement. If changes are made without authorization, beware of counter-complaints from the travel agency. Tour guides who change itineraries and accept kickbacks will be punished in accordance with relevant regulations after verification.
As long as tourists sign up with a regular travel agency and sign a travel contract in accordance with regulations, they have the right to complain. This is because formal travel agencies have paid service quality deposits to the tourism management department before they obtained legal business rights. The Tourism Quality Supervision Office certifies the behavior of travel agencies in accordance with relevant regulations to safeguard the interests of tourists. For example, if the travel agency changes the mode of transportation, according to regulations, the travel agency will refund the difference between the transportation fee paid by the tourist and the actual cost, and compensate 20% of the difference as liquidated damages. For another example, if a tour guide fails to provide services as required, the travel agency should compensate the tourist twice the tour guide service fee.
What should I do if my luggage is lost?
When traveling, you must take good care of your belongings. If you lose your luggage at the airport, you should bring your luggage ID and air ticket to the airline's "Lost Baggage Processing Counter" to fill out a lost application form and apply to the airline for the purchase of daily necessities during the period of loss. The approximate standard is one piece per day, recorded You need to confirm when the other party has investigated and when you can apply for damages, etc.
Generally speaking, airlines have compensation limits for lost, late or damaged luggage, unless the passenger declares a higher value in advance and pays additional value preservation fees.
For most international journeys (including the domestic portion of international travel), the limit is approximately US$20 per kilogram for checked baggage; the limit for carry-on baggage is US$400 per passenger; however, some The airline is not responsible for fragile, valuable or perishable items. For detailed information, you should consult the airline. Brief instructions will also be printed on the ticket.
If your luggage is lost or stolen on a plane or airport, you can apply for compensation from the airline. If your luggage is lost in the hotel safe, the hotel will only compensate you for an amount equal to the value of the lost item. However, if it is lost in a hotel room, there is generally no compensation.
People who are not suitable for flying
Airplanes are an ideal means of transportation nowadays. With the improvement of people’s living standards, more and more people take airplanes for business trips, tourism, family visits, visits to friends, etc. Come more and more. However, medical research believes that the following people should not fly.
1. Patients with infectious diseases. Patients with infectious diseases such as infectious hepatitis, active tuberculosis, and typhoid fever are not allowed to fly during the isolation period prescribed by the state. Among them, chickenpox patients have not recovered from the damaged parts and cannot fly.
2. Mental patients. Patients with epilepsy and various mental illnesses are not suitable to fly because the aviation atmosphere can easily induce acute attacks of the disease.
3. Patients with cardiovascular disease. Mild hypoxia in the air may cause cardiovascular patients to relapse or worsen their conditions, especially patients with cardiac insufficiency, myocardial hypoxia, myocardial infarction and severe hypertension. It is generally considered inappropriate to fly.
4. Cerebrovascular patients. For patients with cerebral embolism, cerebral hemorrhage, and brain tumors, the roar, vibration, and lack of oxygen during takeoff and landing can aggravate their condition and are prohibited from flying.
5. Patients with respiratory diseases. For example, patients with emphysema, cor pulmonale, etc. are not adapted to the environment. If they have pneumothorax, lung cannon, etc., their condition may be aggravated by gas expansion during the flight.
6. Patients who have undergone gastrointestinal surgery are generally not allowed to fly within ten days of surgery. Patients with gastrointestinal bleeding should wait three weeks after the bleeding stops before flying.
7. Patients with severe anemia. Those whose hemoglobin level is below 50 g/L should not fly.
8. Patients with ear and nose diseases. Patients with acute exudative inflammation of the ears and nose and those who have recently undergone middle ear surgery should not travel by air.
9. Pregnant women who are approaching their delivery date. Due to changes in air pressure, it may cause premature delivery of the fetus, especially pregnant women after 35 weeks of pregnancy, and it is not advisable to fly.
How to pack your luggage before departure
What to bring?
First of all, prepare clothes according to the weather conditions of the place where you are going. If you are going to Hainan, don’t forget to bring some thin clothes; if you are going to the Northeast, it is best to bring a thick down jacket; of course, Changes of clothing can be determined based on the number of days you are going. If you are taking a child with you, be sure to prepare some extra clothes for him. Secondly, medicines to prevent colds, stomach upsets, mosquito bites and insect bites are also necessary. People with heart disease, asthma and other diseases should bring their own commonly used medicines. After sorting these out, you still need to consider some odds and ends, such as napkins, hand towels, toilet paper, etc. Friends who like photography will of course bring a camera, but it is also necessary to bring enough film, so film in some tourist areas is more expensive. So many! Don’t forget essential documents such as ID cards, children’s household registers, marriage certificates, and small items such as paper and pens, so you won’t be blinded if they are used for anything. Finally, and most importantly: money. Don’t take too little of this! About 150% of the budget is enough.
How to put it?
If you are using a general travel bag, it is best to put rarely used items such as clothes on the lower layer, and place medicines, tissues, documents, etc. on the upper layer in sequence. Of course, it would be better if you have a backpack for backpacking. Therefore, the general mountaineering bag has several pockets to place these things separately. For example, the lower layer of the bag is placed for clothes and uncommon sundries, and the upper layer is placed for cameras. Bags, etc., the top cover of the bag is placed with medicines, tissues and other items, and the two side pockets of the bag are placed with documents and other items respectively. In addition, small medicines, toiletry bags, etc. prepared for professional mountaineers, many things can be placed in different categories. , so you don’t get cluttered with too much stuff. No matter where you go, a travel bag is the most important piece of travel gear. Travel bags are divided into two types: carry type and back type. The lifting position can relax the shoulders and get a rest; the back position can free the hands and facilitate movement. It is recommended to choose the back type here. Most travel bags currently on the market are made of high-density nylon and have certain waterproof properties. Prices range from 80 to 90 yuan to more than 200 yuan.
How to use travellers' checks
In recent years, in order to save tourists from carrying large amounts of cash, the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China has issued a traveler's check in some large and medium-sized cities. When tourists purchase this kind of checks, they have to sign each one in person on the designated part of the check. When using it, they need to sign the check again. The bank can cash it after verifying that the two signatures are consistent. This kind of check can be cashed and used in designated provincial capital cities and tourist cities. In order to expand the scope of circulation, the bank has also appointed special payment agencies in various tourist resorts so that tourists can redeem them everywhere. Travelers' checks have fixed denominations and are divided into four types: 100 yuan, 500 yuan, 1,000 yuan, and 5,000 yuan. They are easy to use and safer than carrying cash. If the check is lost or stolen during the journey, the ticket purchaser can report the loss to the designated compensation point and receive compensation.
How to observe the weather while traveling
Observing the sky:
As the saying goes: "Clouds are the sign of the weather." If the clouds appearing in the west change from far to near, from few to many, from high to low, from thin to thick, it indicates that the weather will turn from sunny to cloudy and rainy. In the warm season morning, if there are flat-bottomed, bulging-top, isolated clouds in the sky, commonly known as "mantou clouds" (pale cumulus clouds), or white cumulus clouds that move faster, the weather is fine. If cotton-like clouds appear in the sky in the morning, the weather is likely to deteriorate and develop into thunderstorms or windy and rainy days.
When you see hook-shaped clouds shaped like "," moving from the sky, it means it will rain, which is the so-called "hook-shaped clouds and rain". Only then do fish-like clouds appear or the clouds thicken and intersect. At sunset, the sun's disc shows a rouge red color, which indicates that bad weather with wind and rain is about to occur. If it rains before 7 a.m., it may stop before 11 a.m.
On a cloudy and rainy day, seeing the clouds break in the northwest, commonly known as "open sky lock", indicates that the weather will get better. The top of Yungai Mountain is commonly known as "Mountain Daimao". Clouds wrapping around the mountainside are called "clouds blocking the waist". The former indicates cloudy and rainy weather, while the latter indicates sunny weather.
For example: "The morning glow does not go out, but the sunset travels thousands of miles"; "The sun rises in the east rainbow, and the rain falls in the west rainbow"; "Frost (dew, fog) can see sunny days again"; "People are yellow and sick, and the sky "Huang Youfeng"; "Thunder hits the horizon, and heavy rain continues; thunder hits the top of the sky, and the rain is not severe."
Looking at spiders:
On a sunny afternoon, if spiders build a large number of webs, it will rain in the next one or two days. If the net is strong, the wind and rain will be greater; if not, the wind and rain will be smaller. Weaving a net after rain means that the weather is about to clear up.
Look at earthworms:
If earthworms crawl out of the soil in spring and summer, heavy rains often come.
Watching fish:
In the summer evening, if there is a "diving" phenomenon of fish jumping out of the water in the fish pond, it indicates that thunderstorms are coming.
Watching frogs:
Before the weather turns to rain, the humidity in the air is high, the skin of the frogs is moist, and the frogs’ calls are smaller and less frequent. When the storm comes, you can't even hear the frogs croaking. But on sunny days, the frogs croak loudly.
Looking at chickens and ducks:
Chickens return to their nests early, and the next day is usually sunny. On the contrary, if you enter the cage when it is almost dark, the weather will turn bad. The behavior of ducks and chickens is opposite. Ducks are water-loving animals. If ducks enter the cage early, it means that the weather will turn bad; on the contrary, it will be sunny the next day.
