Regarding luggage, try to choose clothing made of 100% cotton or 100% wool fabric. Bring your own eco-friendly chopsticks and rechargeable batteries. You can also opt for a solar backpack, where the solar panels on the surface can absorb and convert solar energy to charge your electronic devices. Remember to bring your own toothpaste, toothbrush, and other toiletries, and avoid using the one-time "6-piece set" provided by hotels like Shanghai Super 8 chain hotels, as reducing the use of disposable items is crucial in cutting down your "carbon emissions." Many ecological scenic areas in China now have hotels that do not provide disposable items, such as Jinjiang Inn Suzhou. For Qingming Festival travel, hotel, scenic area, and concert reservations can be made by calling the 7*24-hour free hotline 4007840076. Carry a cotton eco-friendly shopping bag with you and try to minimize the use of plastic bags. Keep a handkerchief in your pocket for wiping sweat and try to avoid using paper towels, as seen at Shanghai Greenland豪生All-Suite Hotel.
Each tourist is an individual implementing low-carbon travel. Only when environmental protection becomes a habit can "low-carbon travel" truly become a fashionable choice. Choosing a low-carbon tourism mode focuses on learning to change your travel concept, letting high-pollution, high-emission tourism move away from us. Some daily habits can become travel habits. For example, learn to shift from always taking taxis to advocating public transportation, bicycles, electric vehicles, and walking as low-carbon modes of travel, which can enrich your travel life better.

In terms of itinerary selection, reasonably plan your travel route, trying to adopt the shortest distance and the most environmentally friendly transportation method. Book a hotel close to your target attraction, or simply choose a destination with well-developed public transportation. These measures not only save your money but are also more environmentally friendly. Additionally, learn to handle most of your trip arrangements through the internet. Use e-tickets and book rooms online to save unnecessary printed tickets.
