I scanned the prices and was taken aback by how exorbitantly high they are—more expensive than my trip to Phuket last Spring Festival! Is there any hope of finding more affordable tickets? 🥺 I’m not keen on battling the crowds in China during Labor Day, so I plan to save my annual leave for traveling during quieter, off-peak times.

I feel your pain—May Day prices always spike! I’ve had luck scoring better deals by booking well in advance or opting for nearby dates. Phu Quoc and Nha Trang sound great for avoiding crowds. Good call on saving your leave for quieter trips!
