Of course, if it's a very large group like a special train or chartered flight, the government might consider it when doing promotions.

IV. Winter accommodation notes for Zhangjiajie, Hunan: In earlier years, hotel room rates were high in peak season and dropped noticeably in low season, but in recent years, rates for three-star and above hotels have not dropped because of support from the Korean market, while rates for two-star standard and below are already low in peak season, so the low-season discount is relatively small. In addition, when booking a hotel, do not focus only on a low price; in fact, because in winter the air conditioning must be left on all night, a room rate that is too low may very likely lead to situations such as the air conditioning being turned off in the middle of the night. Therefore: when traveling to Zhangjiajie in winter, it is best to choose an experienced, capable, and responsible travel agency and let the agency make the arrangements, as this will work out better.
V. Transportation: Trains generally do not change much between low and peak seasons, but the situation with flights varies greatly, and many routes may be suspended. Suggestion: check the round-trip transportation situation 10 days before departure,
