跟团旅游还是自己旅游？Joining Package Tours or Traveling on Your Own?

With the improvement of life standards, there are a growing number of people traveling each year, which is a good way to enjoy life. Some people would like to take a package tour, while others would rather travel on their own. I prefer to the latter, because I feel that it’s much more convenient and unconstrained than taking a package tour as I did before.

随着生活水平的提高，每年去旅游的人越来越多，这是享受生活的一种好方式。有的人喜欢跟团旅游，而其他人喜欢自己去。我更喜欢后者，因为我觉得这样更方便，而且比以前我跟团旅游更自由。

First of all, traveling on my own, I can arrange my time and route more optionally. For example, when I get to someplace I desperately like, I can choose to stay longer and don’t have to think about others. Secondly, to save time, the itinerary are relatively tight joining package tour, and tourists can only stay very short time in each attractions. It’s difficult to enjoy every landscape carefully. Moreover, in order to earn rebates, some travel agencies force tourists to consume. In the meantime, traveling on my own is much cheaper and get more fun. Finally, the trip is designed to relax, but many people say that package toures are not to make them really relax, but even more tired.

首先，自己旅游的话我可以更有选择地安排我的时间和路线。比如，当我去到我非常想去的地方的时候，我可以选择待久一点，也不用考虑其他人。其次，为了节省时间，跟团的行程都比较赶，游客在每个景点停留的时间很短，很难仔细欣赏每处风景。另外，为了获得折扣，一些旅行社强制游客进行消费。同时，自己旅行更便宜得到更多乐趣。最后，旅游的目的是为了放松，但是很多人说跟团旅游没有真正使他们放松，反而更累了。

On the whole, I prefer to to travel on my own, which is more convenient, unconstrained and cheaper.

总的来看，我更喜欢自己去旅游，它更方便，更自由，更便宜。
