How it is used
- Means the off/slow season for business - 旅游淡季 (lǚyóu dànjì) the low season for tourism.
- Direct opposite of 旺季 (wàngjì, peak/busy season); the pair governs pricing in travel, hotels, retail - 旅游旺季 (lǚyóu wàngjì) the peak tourist season.
- Prices drop in 淡季, so 淡季出游便宜 (traveling off-season is cheaper).
