What else should family members advise before traveling to Guilin?

It is recommended to go to the "Lijiang Tour Guide" of "China Guilin Lijiang Scenic Area Official Website" to learn about traveling on the Lijiang River to Yangshuo.

Note: When you go out, for the sake of safety, do not expose your money. In Yangshuo, some bad guys robbed tourists who were riding bicycles to visit Yangshuo. There are thieves in Guilin's bus stations, train stations, pedestrian streets, and even on the streets, both men and women. The most common ones are at bus stations and train stations with many foreign customers. Do not buy or stay in shops near train stations and bus stations. There are many thieves there, and shopkeepers and clerks are also shady. Most of them will bully out-of-towners. The most despicable thing is to exchange money. Also, beware of unlicensed taxis when taking a taxi. Even if it’s a regular taxi, don’t trust the driver’s words. We don’t rule out the possibility that he is a scammer. Don’t go to KTVs, bars, travel agencies, or restaurants recommended by him. Shops, as for the restaurants and KTVs recommended by tricycles, you can’t even go there. If you encounter blackmail by bullies and black forces, the best policy is to find a way to escape on your own. If you really can't escape, call 110 to call the police. Don't be surprised if the police don't respond. The above-mentioned ugly phenomena have been repeatedly banned by relevant government parties, and we have to protect ourselves.

In addition, be sure not to go to the Nanhuan Road area, that is, come out of Xiangshan Park, turn right and cross Wenchang Bridge, from the Wenchang Bridge traffic light to the area along the street of Chunji Roasted Goose at the head of Nanmen Bridge, there is a restaurant along the road. The so-called specialty restaurants and souvenir shops next to each other are all designed to rip off foreigners, and locals will never go there. Chun Kee Roast Goose Shop doesn't bully customers, and locals love to go there.

Generally, group tours organized by travel agencies include shopping. Although it has been expressly prohibited, it is difficult to prohibit it. Travel agencies in Guilin usually take tourists to go shopping: jade shops, traditional Chinese medicine shops, knife shops, strange stone shops, bamboo fiber products shops, tea shops, souvenir shops, various temples, etc. These shops are shoddy and fake. , poor quality and high price, it is the collusion of store owners, tour guides and drivers to make shady money. Therefore, when traveling in a group, do not listen to cheap or low-priced tours, but carefully read the travel contract you signed with the travel agency to avoid being deceived.

If you have already joined a tour group, you should be careful when entering the store. There is no other way to waste time, so don’t waste money anymore. There is no need to argue with the tour guide. Keep the evidence and just complain to him.
