According to official documents such as the Ministry of Transport and the Ministry of Culture and Tourism, the discounts available to students are mainly concentrated in the following areas:

2.“Inspection of student tickets in scenic spots becomes stricter”: Recently, many scenic spots have strengthened the verification of student ID cards. Some tourists were rejected because the information on Xuexin.com was not updated, triggering controversy over the convenience of "digital authentication".
3."Hidden Student Discount": Discounts in non-traditional areas such as Apple education discounts and Spotify student memberships have become hot spots for sharing on platforms such as Xiaohongshu.
3. Comparison of actual savings for student tickets
Taking popular summer routes as an example, student tickets can save you as follows:

4. How to maximize student discounts?

2.Pay attention to limited time activities: Such as Ctrip’s “Student Travel Season” additional subsidies, airlines’ “Campus Flyer Plan”, etc.
3.International student benefits: The ISIC international student ID card is valid in 130 countries around the world and can enjoy discounts on overseas transportation and accommodation.
Conclusion
Student ticket discounts are an important manifestation of educational benefits, but there are still problems such as information asymmetry and complex rules in actual use. It is recommended that student groups verify policies through official channels and make good use of social media to obtain the latest discount information. Data shows that students can save up to more than 40% of expenses on a single long-distance trip. This "youth subsidy" is worth careful planning!
