Girls' Budget Travel Guide to Jingdezhen｜Students Can Go All In Without Worry, Saving Money, Effort, and Stress!

Travel Money-Saving Tips

1. Book accommodation in advance: Prioritize places near Taoxichuan, Yiyaochang, and Sanbao Village for super convenient access to attractions, saving a lot of travel time and costs.

2. Plan your sightseeing route: Visit 2-3 key spots per day, such as Taoxichuan, Jingdezhen China Ceramics Museum, and the Sculpture Porcelain Factory. This way, you can enjoy each place without rushing.

3. Choose the right transportation: Ride shared electric scooters within the city for easy navigation through alleys; for farther places like Yaoli Ancient Town, taking the bus is more economical and saves money.

4. Travel in the off-season for better deals: Hotel and restaurant prices drop during the off-season, and transportation is less crowded, making your experience much more enjoyable.

5. Use shared bikes cautiously: There are usually no designated return areas near attractions, and improper returns incur an extra 10 yuan fee. Money-savvy travelers, take note!

6. Prioritize accommodation safety: Female solo travelers may find youth hostels less secure, so opt for hotels or homestays. Highly recommend Jingdezhen Boge Hotel (Taoxichuan Cultural and Creative Street Branch), perfect for families! The hotel has a stylish design, spacious and bright rooms, ensuring a comfortable stay for everyone.
