Do hotels raise prices or sell out in peak season (Peony Festival, National Day), and how to cope?

[Direct conclusion] 【Yes, and sharply: the Peony Festival (April) and National Day commonly triple and sell out 1–2 months ahead in Luoyang especially. Key points to keep in mind: 1. Cope with 'book early + accept tier uplift + backup city'.】 Peak impact reference: Four coping strategies: ◆ Lock 1–2 months early: our hotel contract rates hold relatively low price and room volume if booked early. 2. ◆ Accept tier uplift: contracted price holds, but new peak-season resources settle at current rates — market behaviour. 3. ◆ Backup city: if Luoyang is full, stay in satellite towns (Yanshi/Yiyang) or shift to Jiaozuo/Zhengzhou within driving range. 4. ◆ Don't trust 'last-minute deals': peak deals are near-zero; don't gamble. Note: Hotel standard follows the itinerary sheet, so request special needs early.
