As the saying goes: life is movement.Tourism is one of the best ways of movement. So how to save money to travel  and can have a good tourism is particularly important.

We can save money from three aspects:the transportation, the hotel and visit scenic spot.

First of all,try to walk,it dosen’t make you spend money.If you are too tired you can take bus.Do not choose to take a taxi in a strange city,because you are not familiar with the  local traffic,and are easy to be cheated.If you want to go to another city,choose to take a train rather than a plane,not only enjoy the scenery along the way but also can save the money.风景名胜

The second point,the hotel can be booked online advanced,so that you can make sure to have a place to live,and can also save some money. You can travel also live in a reliable local people’s home, or live in a cheaper and safe small hotel.

Finally, visit scenic spots you can go to those are free or buy group tickets. If you are a student can also bring a student id card, so that the ticket will be cheaper. Many a mickle makes a muckle, so you can save a large mount of money.

In addition to the three aspects that says above, there are also other aspects can save money, as long as we notice enough and have sensitive eyes, calculation of the brain,so that we will save unnecessary money.

Saving is a virtue, I hope you pay more attention in our daily life. Let’s take a pleasant trip that can save unnecessary.

The top master in fashion field and thousands of professional buyers, and professional media from all the world , which have the incomparable global spreading .

Milan fashion industrial helps the development of other aspects in Venice, so we it is important for a country to develop fashion. In the Milan fashion week of 2006, there had an opening ceremony of “China Day” brand issued jointly. It is the first collective appearance of China, it helps promote the brand culture and changes less number of well-known brands cycle short, the weak independent innovation these present situations in China gradually.
