Why do so many people complain in Dali, Yunnan, but the number of tourists continues to increase?

Because Dali can be said to be the earliest Internet celebrity city in China. It frequently appears in various songs, movies, advertisements, articles and social media, and the beauty of Dali is still very tempting. Especially for those young people who are artistic and like a slow-paced life.

In recent years, Dali and Lijiang in Yunnan can be said to be popular tourist destinations. The degree of commercialization is beyond your imagination. If you are not well prepared, you are likely to fall into Various tourist traps have been designed to interlock with each other, and it will become common for people to be deceived.

The most negative news is about "black tour guides", and these people who are cheated are basically traveling in group tours. You may not be able to imagine how disturbing the language and behavior of "black tour guides" are. Hated. Here is a specific incident: Three years ago, a video titled "Yunnan tour guide scolded tourists for not buying anything" was widely forwarded on Weibo.

The cause of the incident was that the "black tour guide" forced the tourists to buy jade, but the tourists were unmoved, so there were incidents where tourists were ridiculed for being "poor" and insulted as "scoundrels". Afterwards, after being exposed by CCTV, the tour guide's tour guide license was revoked. However, the root cause is not only the responsibility of the tour guides, but also the local tourism industry, especially the vicious low-price competition among tour groups, which leads to the fact that tour guides can only obtain high commissions by forcing tourists to buy souvenirs. It is also one of the important reasons why there are many "low-price groups".

The second is the romance scam. If you want to go to Dali to have an affair because of a song "Going to Dali" or a movie "Blissful Heart", or because of some gimmick articles like "China's Top Ten Amorous Encounter Cities" written by some self-media idea. Then I remind you, please put away your luck and use your rationality. Because many businesses have the same idea as you, they are just waiting for you to come, under the guise of "waiting for you to come and have an affair". Only when you come, you will find that what you meet may be a bartender, beer and peanuts, and the price can be as low as several hundred. Thousands, sometimes as high as tens of thousands. Please remember: In Yunnan, an affair is just a legend, do not take it seriously.

So many people abuse Dali, not because of Dali, but because of certain people. In one sentence, it is: "The scenery is not guilty, but the people are guilty"! First of all, you must know that what everyone hates and criticizes is the various tourism routines and traps derived from excessive commercialization. These problems do exist, but I believe that they will be well solved in the future, and I believe they will be restored. Everyone has a different Dali.
