After searching for a long time, I found a hotel 199 yuan in the suburb of Xining. I asked Xining locals, are hotels in Xining usually so expensive? They say it's the peak season and it's very popular.
Travel to Qinghai again in May 20 16. I booked the hotel online in advance this time, but I didn't expect the price to be higher. The most common Hanting Haiyou Hotel in Shanghai probably sells around 120 yuan, and Xining is still the lowest.
In addition to accommodation, we can also feel the high price in Xining in other prices. Eating the most common beef noodles costs 10 yuan. If a person eats a little better, he will definitely go to 30 yuan more than 20. Vegetables and fruits in the vegetable market are generally more expensive. In the supermarket, most goods are more expensive than those in the east. I bought a sports cup with a lock. Xining sells 50 yuan, while Shanghai only sells for more than 20 yuan.
So the consumption level in Xining is expensive for several reasons:
1. A considerable number of consumers in Xining come from all over the province and are tourists in the peak season. The so-called thing is rare. In the peak season, the supply is less than the demand, and the market competition is not sufficient, which leads to high consumption.
Qinghai is a big commodity importing province, and Xining is located in the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. The local products are not rich enough, and many materials need to be transported from other places. The transportation cost is high, so the price cost is high.
The above is only a personal opinion, don't spray if you don't like it!
