行程常见问题
主要景点需要提前多久预订？
通过官方渠道在当地时间午夜前 7 天预订最热门的限流景点。大多数主要景点不售当天票。
10 天对第一次来太长了？
不会——10 天是最佳选择。3 天能覆盖主要景点但你会很疲惫；5 天可以加上一日游和悠闲的下午。
不会中文能完成这条路线吗？
可以。出发前请安装 Pleco（离线词典）和翻译 App。主要城市的地铁和景点标识有英文，国际酒店员工会讲英文。
什么时候是走这条路线最糟糕的时间？
国庆黄金周（10月1–7日）——所有限时限流的票都抢不到。也要避开春节高峰（1月底/2月）和五一（5月1–5日）。7月中到8月中又热又挤。
我到底需要多少现金？
几乎不用。支付宝（绑定外币 Visa/Mastercard）可覆盖 95% 的商家。带 ¥500–800 现金作为小额摊位备用即可。不需要给小费。
这条路线对独自旅行者安全吗？
是的。主要风险是交通——电动车和摩托车在人行道上行驶。路口注意安全，尤其是北京/上海以外地区，司机可能不让行。独自旅行的女性反馈没问题。
