The ways to avoid the tourist crowds
First notice: there is No VIP Entrance for tourist who want to pay higher fee to enter early or avoid line-up.(The common way to avoid the crowds and queue.)
1 Reschedule the tour route to keep away from the tourist crowds
2 Choose a good timing to visit.(Earlier or Later, avoid the peak time)
3 Hotel location: Choose the hotel near the park entrance, even in the park. It will give you more time than the tourists staying far from the scenic area.
4 Spend more to hire a local resident’s van in the park if there is one, to beat the queue waiting for the park bus.
Notice: If it’s 100% impossible to make it better, Please be patient in queue ,just try anything you can to create your own fun,(Such as reading booking,play games, or as I suggest here : Try your best to communicate with your neighbors by language or hand language. Always remember interacting with people is an dispensable and interesting part of high-valued travel.
