What places in China are easy to be cheated by travel?

Avoid being fooled into counting the darkest 12 tourist attractions in China.

1 Xishuangbanna: There are many so-called folk villages in Xishuangbanna, such as Xishuangbanna Primitive Forest Park and an Ai tribe. After the tourists entered the village, the beautifully dressed girls warmly welcomed the tourists into the bamboo building on the second floor and visited their houses. A woman gave a brief introduction, waved and several girls came in. She threw a gourd-shaped lucky one around a man's neck to let you take part in the so-called pro-snatching game. One of the highlights of the "wedding" is "being sent to the bridal chamber". Don't think that there are such good things in the bridal chamber, and those poor and innocent "grooms" are paying money. As soon as she entered the bridal chamber, the girl reached out and asked you for dowry money. The host will say that when Ivy gives you a lucky one, if you accept it, it means you agree to the marriage. Go back on our word, hang upside down in the tree at the entrance of the village for three days, and work hard for them for three years. Tourists are dragged into the "bridal chamber" when they are confused. Unless they are given enough money, they can't get into the "bridal chamber". Nowadays, folk customs often become folk traps. Most male and female tourists who come back from Xishuangbanna have a lesson, that is, "the bridal chamber is not casually entered."

Jiuzhaigou: the daily price of beef.

Tickets for Jiuzhaigou are clearly marked expensive. Jiuzhaigou ordinary ticket to 220 yuan, plus the ticket to 90 yuan, is 3 10 yuan. Tickets for Huanglong 200 yuan, Tibetan Song Qiang and Dance Concert 180 yuan. Tickets are expensive, but don't think you won't be slaughtered. There is a monument on a flat land in Mount Gellner. As soon as the tourists got off the bus, local people with horses and yaks gathered around. "5 yuan is the only place where you can take photos on horseback", but after you take photos, the horse will rise to 30 yuan. The yak meat and roast whole sheep sold in Jiuzhaigou are just like killing cattle and sheep. The tour guide is keen to take you to taste yak meat for free. If you taste it for free, some people will laugh at your lack of money and greed for petty gain, and some people will persuade you to buy it and send it back to your friends. In short, you are careless and generous. But you'll regret it soon. The same beef costs 22 yuan a kilo in Chengdu, but it costs 88 yuan in Jiuzhaigou. Shuzheng Stockaded Village's Tibetan-featured commodities are mostly produced in other places: Yak leather vests are made of pigskin and produced in Haining, Zhejiang. There are yak hair shawls and scarves, all made of chemical fiber, made in Yiwu, Zhejiang. Necklaces and dzi beads are all made of glass, as long as they are with dzi beads. The wholesale price is about two or three yuan, all imported from Yiwu. Such as Tibetan silver bracelets, Tibetan silver necklaces and Tibetan silver flagons, as long as they are with Tibetan silver, they are either iron or copper. As long as you wear it for a week, the Tibetan silver will become "hidden gold" and restore the face of copper and iron.

Emei Mountain: Burning incense means burning money.

On the way to Mount Emei, tourists will be taught a lesson by the tour guide: everyone here is destined to catch up with the mountain opening ceremony of Mount Emei, which is very rare. The last opening ceremony was in 2000, and this one will end in three days. Everyone who is destined to go to Kaiping and An Guang can enjoy their achievements for free. This is really destiny takes a hand. But why, you have to ask Buddha and Guanyin to pendant. The tour guide spoke again: you can go to the so-and-so Buddhist hall of the Sichuan Buddhist Association to invite the Buddha, and the income there will be donated to the Buddhist Association, which will not only ensure peace, but also do good deeds. As soon as she entered the door, the shopping guide was very enthusiastic: as long as 500 yuan can invite a Buddha. Keep your eyes open, and the cheapest one is 80 yuan, not the thumb cover. Please invite the whole family, it will cost more than 2000 yuan. When you arrive at the temple, please burn incense first if you want to hold a dharma meeting, and burn incense for 60 yuan for peace. Family portrait incense 190 yuan. Someone with a camera wants to take your picture. Please take a picture.1One for 5 yuan and one for 90 yuan. After the ceremony, I saw several people in the front hall, and then I said, Master, some people say there is only one 50 yuan. After paying the money, the "master" said that he was kneeling inside. When he went in, he saw that the people in the hall were kneeling in rows. When his legs were numb, a monk came in, muttered something with a cup, and then sprinkled two drops of water on the Buddha invited by everyone. All right, the lights are on. After I went home, I calculated that it cost seven or eight hundred yuan to open the house for free. It turns out that Buddha is not good either.

4 Potala Palace: Tickets skyrocketed.

The price increase is like a plague. Before the opening of the Qinghai-Tibet Railway in July 2006 1, hotels in Lhasa began to increase their prices sharply. In this Tibetan capital, the price is nearly twice as high as that in the mainland. Instead of using the legendary Hada and highland barley wine, we first "kill one knife" to greet guests from afar. Don't say that doubling the hotel price is a mess of taxis crowded outside the station. The driver's price is 60 yuan, while the original normal price is 30 yuan. It's not just hotels in Lhasa that want to get rich. Xizang Autonomous Region Cultural Relics Bureau raised the peak season ticket price of Potala Palace from 100 yuan to 300 yuan before the first batch of tourists who entered Tibet by train completely unloaded the dust. The vast majority of tourists in Potala Palace come from outside Tibet. As a symbol of Sino-Tibetan friendship, the Potala Palace, with a history of 1300 years, is undoubtedly the brightest pearl in Tibetan tourism. For tourists who come to Tibet, not going to Potala Palace is equivalent to not having been to Tibet. When we finally arrive in Lhasa, who will give up visiting for 200 yuan? Tickets for Potala Palace are limited for a long time, and only 2,300 tickets are sold every day. However, if the ticket price is increased from 100 yuan to 300 yuan, the number of visitors of 2,300 people per day will not decrease. How to "protect" it? Also, according to the regulations, the Potala Palace is not allowed to take pictures, but you can take pictures as long as you pay a sum of money. Pay more money, and it's enough to flash at the Buddha statue. Is it true that paying the money will not damage the cultural relics?

5 Laoshan Mountain: Taoist Ma Yi Deception

In Laoshan, the commentator and tour guide will tell you mysteriously, "There is a place you haven't been." As he said, he took you into a room in the temple. Seven or eight "Taoist priests" surrounded you like visiting your ancestors, saying that this red face has a fortune. If you want him to say a few words, you have to pay back some money. The Taoist priest will take you into a nearby "office" and show you his certificate first, telling you how many generations he has passed down and how close he is to your benefactor. Then I started reading palms. After all, when you were grateful and ready to leave, the Taoist took out a notebook and said in an understatement: donate some incense money casually. Originally, you had prepared a donation of tens of yuan, but as soon as you opened the Taoist book, the name and money of the donor were impressively written on it: xxx, a local xxx, 3900 yuan; Xxx, native of xxx, in 2000 ... the number of donations is not less than 1000 yuan. Not donating? The Taoist priest is unhappy, and the consequences are very serious. So you instantly "realize the Tao": it is an eternal truth to break the wealth and eliminate disasters.

6 Turpan Grape Valley: The grapes have gone bad.

The grapes in Turpan are melons in Hami, and pears in Korla are praised by everyone. Turpan grape valley is shaded by trees and grapes are planted in pieces. Most farmers in the Grape Valley have grapes to buy, but the cheapest one here costs 70 to 80 yuan per catty in 50 yuan. When you arrive in Urumqi, you will find that the most expensive one is more than 30 yuan a catty. I went to the Grape Valley for dinner and went into the ditch again. The proprietress handed the menu. Food is ridiculously expensive A bowl of vegetarian rice 15 yuan, a serving of mutton 120 yuan, and the stir-fry takes about 20 minutes to 30 yuan. If you complain that it is too expensive, the proprietress will plausibly say: We are a 4A scenic spot, and the price is equivalent to a five-star hotel.

7 Xi 'an: Fake antiques are confusing.

Be careful when you arrive in Xi 'an. In some places in Xi 'an, you can only move your eyes, but you can't do that. Xi 'an is full of antiques, jade articles, souvenirs of terracotta warriors and horses, Western Zhou coins, and Beiyang big-headed cymbals. Tourists always bring back some antiques. However, Xi 'an's antique fake is fake and true, and experts say it is absolutely impossible. Xi 'an has a famous antique street-Huajue Lane. The alley is full of small shops selling antiques, snuff bottles, jade articles, cosmetic boxes, old locks, porcelain and headdresses, but most of them are forged fakes. Be careful when shopping at the roadside stall in Xi 'an. Some unscrupulous vendors specialize in putting goods in triangles. As soon as you take it, things will fall down. Most of the things placed below are arranged in advance and have broken down. Then, the stall owner will tell you what valuable antique it is, and it is impossible to spend hundreds of dollars. In the street opposite the square of Xi Railway Station, fakes are very common. Some shops and shopkeepers will set up secret offices and put a beautiful knife or sword. The so-called jade bracelets and teapots will fall like dominoes as long as you reach for them. Such a glass jade bracelet worth two yuan will blackmail you for one or two hundred yuan.

8 Dali: "fellow villagers"

Yunnan is famous for producing jade, and it is close to the jade kingdom of Myanmar. Visitors to Lijiang often buy jade, but they are generally kept in the dark after being slaughtered. In Dali, Lijiang and other places in Yunnan, there is a common sales method of "recognizing fellow villagers", that is, climbing relatives with tourists, pretending to be fellow villagers to narrow the distance between the two sides, and finally defrauding tourists to buy jewelry. These jewels are often shoddy and most of them are fakes. Jewelry with a price of tens of thousands in the boutique area, after identification, is generally a fake stall of 20 to 20 in 30 yuan. When shopping, the commentator will inadvertently say with surprise that our boss is from the same town as you. Later, the boss appeared, asked about the situation in a certain place in his hometown with concern, and then introduced his tens of millions of business scale. The "boss" will also frankly report his dirty laundry and the inside story of the jewelry industry, saying that the jewelry products he runs have dozens of times of profits and increase the trust of the other party with risks. Finally, the boss must be very heroic and sell one or two sets of valuable jewelry to his fellow villagers at the cost price, that is, a few tenths of the marked price. Recognizing fellow villagers is often effective, and many tourists with deep roads will fall into the pit.

9 Yangshuo: the ferocious behind the warmth

There are many entertainment cities in Yangshuo, which attract the most pleasure-seeking tourists. However, the casino also has many hidden dangers. The usual method is to unite some black tour guides and some taxi drivers in the society, take cheap consumption as bait to attract tourists to spend in entertainment places, and then the hostess asks for "special drinks". At the time of checkout, tourists discovered that the casino used two "Yuanyang" price lists with different prices, and the so-called "special drinks" in the checkout price list were surprisingly high. "Special drink" is actually a mixture of Sprite and Coke, and the cost of a cup of a few cents is one or two hundred yuan to sell to guests. There are also special service charges, ranging from 600-800 yuan to several thousand. You can't escape without paying.

10 Bashang: Riding a horse is easier than dismounting.

Blue sky and white clouds, the Wulangong River is as clear as a mirror, the grassland is as blue as the sky, and the wild flowers all over the mountains exude fragrance. This is the charming scenery on the dam. Many people drive here every weekend. On the way, many locals usually come to attract customers and attract foreign tourists at low prices. However, most of these hotels are in extremely poor conditions, without business licenses, and often have security problems. Be especially careful when driving on the dam. Many places are closed. If you drive into an area along a dirt road, someone may come out and say that you can't enter here. You have to collect money, and you will be blackmailed if you are not careful. Cycling is the most attractive project for tourists on the dam, and the charge is certainly not low. Business households near Hongshan Sanjun Racecourse will especially pit tourists. When you first arrive there, tourists will calculate the time for you before touching the horse. By the time I got on the horse, it was already 10 minutes. The owner of the horse led the horse slowly. Unless the tourist rides a horse 1 hour and pays 1.5 hours, he can barely let the horse run a few steps. It's difficult to get off the horse as soon as it gets on the horse, according to the 40 yuan/hour fee. This is not for you to decide. The locals will drag the horses around for half a day and then return to the starting point, which takes two or three hours at a time. It is not uncommon to ask for a horse fee of several hundred yuan.

1 1 Mount Tai: There are many "heroes" on the mountain and below.

The five mountains in Mount Tai are unique, with magnificent natural scenery and rich human history. It bears the essence of China's 5,000-year history and is a symbol of China culture. At that time, Confucius climbed Mount Tai, and the world was small. Now, Taishan people are also proud of the world. Tourists are on Mount Tai, so you should be careful. Every now and then, you have to pay for taking your picture: take money. A little excuse or dissatisfaction is disrespect for Mount Tai, ranging from scolding threats to the "boxing courtesy" of Taishan people, and tourists are constantly injured. My feeling is that there are many black shops for tourists to stay under Mount Tai. If they are not careful, they will be slaughtered. If there is a dispute, Taishan people will be very angry and the consequences will be very serious.

12 Shaolin Temple: Burning incense equals robbery.

In the incense niche in front of the Daxiong Hall of Shaolin Temple, the thinnest incense stick is thicker than the arm, and the thickest incense stick is thicker than the bowl, about 1.2 meters long. At first glance, it is not burning incense, but burning money. This is just a kind of etiquette and rules. There are some requirements for fragrance, but the stronger the better, the longer the better. In the past, Buddhism did not use thick bowls to burn incense, so I thought. Next to the incense niche in front of the Daxiong Hall in Shaolin Temple, three monks dressed in cassock sat and invited guests to come over. They won't tell you the price and rules first, but please sign the autograph book. Tourists don't know that the autograph book is a trap. Some people may mistakenly think that it is Shaolin Temple's respect for pilgrims, so they sign it in a muddle, and you are trapped by this sign. After signing the name, the monk told you that all the pilgrims who signed the name, Master Shi Yongxin will personally recite the scriptures and Buddha to help you eliminate the disaster, and so on. Then, pointing to the golden incense with different thickness and luster, I asked you: benefactor, what kind of incense did you invite? Because, as Master Shi Yongxin said earlier, good-looking tourists usually choose a thick and gorgeous high fragrance, and when they hand it to you, they will tell you that the fragrance is 6000 yuan. At that time, it was too late for you to regret it. The name was signed, but you didn't say it. All the incense is in your hand, surrounded by spectators, and there is a giant Buddha in front of you. At this time, people usually swallow bitter water and take out money.
