Controversies related to Liu Sanjie’s former residence

During the National Day in 2014, a tourist encountered forced consumption in a Zhuang house next to Liu Sanjie’s former residence and was asked to donate 200 yuan. "The commentator at the door of Liu Sanjie's former residence said that the cost of the visit was included in the ticket, and it was free for a group of 10 people. Who knew that going in would be a scam." Tourist Mr. Jiang said that at that time, he and his wife took their children and elderly people to visit Liu Sanjie from After coming out of the former residence, under the guidance of the commentator, we entered the "Zhuang Village" next to it. After walking through the main hall of "Zhuangzhai", the commentator led Mr. Jiang and other tourists into a side room in the house to sit down. The walls of the house are made of bamboo, and curtains are hung on the doors, making it impossible to see other rooms. Afterwards, the commentator allowed visitors to enter the next room one by one. In the next room, Mr. Jiang encountered a forced donation.

In this regard, the staff of Yangshuo County Tourism Bureau said, "(Liu Sanjie's former residence) is not a formal attraction and we cannot control it." Manager Li of Guilin Darongshu Scenic Area said that Liu Sanjie's former residence was run by the villagers of Chuanyan Village themselves. Yes, the scenic spot cannot control what happens when tourists leave the Big Banyan Tree Scenic Area and are not inside the scenic area. The person in charge also said that in order to strengthen management, there is a police station at the entrance of the scenic spot, but if the incident does not occur within the scenic spot, there is really nothing that can be done.

On October 3, 2014, after the media exposed the forced consumption incident, the commentary desk and commentator in front of Liu Sanjie's former residence were no longer there, and a "reception suspension" notice was erected in front of "Zhuang Village". The Yangshuo County Tourism Bureau stated that it has organized personnel to investigate, "Of course illegal attractions will be banned, and we must protect the rights of tourists." As for the statement on the 2nd that "it cannot be controlled", the staff of the Yangshuo Tourism Bureau explained: "Reports It is a slip of the tongue that our staff cannot control it. The scope of responsibilities of the Tourism Bureau is not large, and some issues involving illegal operations are managed by the Industrial and Commercial Bureau and other departments.
