Generally speaking, the preferential fare policies for the elderly in scenic spots are free for those over 65 years old, half-price tickets for those over 60 years old and full tickets for those under 60 years old. Is there a half-ticket discount for the elderly? There is no uniform regulation. Generally, the preferential policies for the elderly are free of charge for people over 70 years old and half-ticket for people over 65 years old. In major festivals, they may also be free of charge for people over 60 years old, and some will distinguish their hukou. Before going to travel, you can consult the relevant scenic spots or tour groups in detail to avoid wasting more money.

For the elderly who have reached the age of 60, they can go to the government affairs hall where the household registration is located with their ID cards. The identification of the age of the elderly is generally based on the age on the ID cards. The staff of the government affairs hall will handle it according to the procedures, and they can get the senior citizen discount card on the spot after handling it.

Tickets can be reduced or exempted for the elderly card in many scenic spots. The general policy is to discount tickets for the elderly over 60 years old, while the elderly over 70 years old are free. However, this is not a policy that all scenic spots have, because it is not a mandatory policy of the National Tourism Administration, but an encouragement policy, which is all voluntarily implemented by scenic spots.

Matters needing attention in tourism for the elderly:

1, physical examination before leaving: the elderly should have a physical examination before going out to travel and get the consent of the doctor before going. Then, according to their physical condition and illness, choose tourist spots and arrange travel schedules. If you can be far, you can be far away. If you can't be far, you can be close. Don't be forced. When traveling alone or together, someone should accompany you to take care of it.

2, the diet should be hygienic: the diet should be light during the trip, eat less instant noodles, eat more fruits and vegetables to prevent constipation. Do not eat unsanitary and unqualified food and drinks, and do not drink spring water, pond water and river water. Try to eat in the restaurant where you live, and bring your own tableware and water utensils, which is convenient and hygienic.

3, avoid excessive fatigue: the train is crowded, the carriage is dirty, and the car is bumpy and tired. Therefore, if the elderly travel to Xinjiang, it is best to take a sleeper or plane for long-distance travel, or they can go in sections. The travel schedule should be loose and not tight, and the amount of activities should not be too large. When visiting, you should walk slowly and step by step, and climb mountains according to your abilities to avoid overwork.
