Poor Tourists, Richer Bills, Crappier Trips.

But some seasonal sights can only be experienced during peak season, right?

The biggest difference between the poor and the rich is whether they have freedom over their own time.

I stay in hotels that cost 3700 a day. What about you?

37 yuan a day.

I really don't dare to go out during public holidays.

Totally agree, going out is just too exhausting!

Honestly, you're a working adult now, so there's no need to write like it's a school essay—padding the middle with filler and trying to end on some profound note that you can't quite reach. It's like trying to take down a bull with a pocket knife.

The 'rich people' in your title and the examples you provide don't align at all. Freelancers, retirees, and even many small business owners aren't necessarily wealthy; some might even be in debt. Your title should really be about how people with flexible schedules can get better experiences for less money.

Freedom with your time AND your finances.

When I travel back to China, I always go during the off-season. I stay in five-star hotels, and it's never too crowded wherever I go. Compared to those who can only travel during peak season, I find it offers much better value for money.

Exactly. I always take my vacation days to travel during the off-season now. On public holidays, I just stay home, play video games, and sip tea.

International schools are usually quite flexible with taking leave.
