Why are things in tourist attractions so expensive?

It’s normal. There are several kinds of food that are available everywhere. The price is high, the quantity is small, and the taste is bad. It’s all paid by foreign tourists. The locals will never eat it, but you may like to eat it:

1. Stinky tofu. Stinky tofu is a nationally famous specialty snack. Changsha stinky tofu is the most famous. It looks black and smelly, but it tastes very fragrant, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. You can find stinky tofu in every scenic spot in the country because it is easy to make, low cost and high profit. But I really don’t dare to eat the stinky tofu in the scenic spot. If it is a popular scenic spot, the oil they use may be changed frequently, but it is hard to say for scenic spots with fewer people. I have seen a few, and the oil is all black, and there are a lot of small black residues, and it goes on. fry. I have to say that the price is expensive and the quantity is small. A bowl costs 10 yuan, which is only 7 to 8 yuan. It is a waste of money.

2. Fried small potatoes. This is also available in every scenic spot. If I make it myself, I can eat 2 pounds, but I never buy it in scenic spots. How much does a pound of potatoes cost? It’s more than 1 yuan, and a bowl costs 10 yuan. Even if I counted, it’s less than 10. It’s very expensive. Even though it's expensive, it's not delicious when done. These fried potatoes are usually boiled first, then fried until they're crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. They're sprinkled with seasoning when sold. These seasonings are only on the surface and have no flavor at all inside. It tastes very bland. Every time I make it myself, I add salt when cooking, which makes it very flavorful.

3. Hand cakes. Hand pancakes are often eaten for breakfast. They only need to be fried on the pan for a few minutes. Add fried eggs, ham, lettuce, etc., and it is very affordable. I have been in the breakfast business before. In the wholesale department, a hand cake costs 1 yuan and can be sold for 2 yuan at most. But the hand cakes in the scenic area cost 10 yuan just to add an egg. If you want to add ham, crab sticks, etc., it will cost 20 yuan. Many people buy it at such an expensive price. In order to serve the meal quickly, they were not fried enough and rolled up when they were still white. They were not crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, which made them unpalatable. I bought it once, ate half of it and threw it away. Good luck.
