Scam arrangement of one-day tour in Lhasa

Although the peak season for traveling to Lhasa has passed, Xiaobian still wants to talk about some things that we encountered when traveling to Lhasa in the peak season. As we all know, when traveling to Lhasa in the peak season, we usually take a one-day tour, so this one-day tour is not as simple as we thought.

Routine 1: Take you to the Tibetan home to buy silverware

After the tour group gathers in the morning, we will take you to the Tibetan home in the suburbs of Lhasa first, and then a Tibetan girl will receive everyone. The girl will say that this is her home, and they didn't want to show it to everyone at first, but they agreed after the government kept lobbying.

After everyone got acquainted, the girls began to ask about their health, and said that Tibetans seldom get sick, because each of them carried a lot of silverware, such as silver bracelets and belts, and then took out a lot of silverware for everyone to buy, saying that the purity of these silverware was higher than that outside.

routine 2: take you to the Tibetan cultural center to buy dzi beads

The second stop will take you to a Tibetan cultural center to visit Tibetan ornaments. After the visit, the commentator will open a door, and suddenly a big shopping store will appear in front of everyone, which is full of dzi beads, Buddha beads, bracelets, etc. The commentator will usually say that everyone can visit for two hours before leaving.

all the beads sold in the counter are expensive. It's incomprehensible that a string of beads that cost less than 1 can be sold for 6-1. Later, it was discovered that there was actually a special private room opened here, and people who didn't buy anything were forbidden to enter.

Routine 3: Take you to the Tibetan Medicine Museum to buy Tibetan medicine

At the third stop, I will take you to the Tibetan Medicine Museum, saying that I will help you to see your health for free. In fact, at last, at least half of the people bought Tibetan medicine.

Routine 4: Take you to buy dried yak meat

After visiting the first three stops, it's basically past 2 pm. At this time, everyone hasn't had lunch yet. When they are hungry, the tour guide takes them to the dried yak meat shop in the suburban ravine. There is nothing to eat here except this shop, so everyone will buy dried yak meat to satisfy their hunger.

After visiting the above four stops, I can finally attend the Potala Palace, but Zhuo Ma has been exhausted by the tour and has no mood to enjoy the scenery.

A few scams introduced by Xiao Bian are often encountered during our one-day trip to Lhasa. Xiao Bian sorted them out, and I hope they will be of some reference and warning significance for everyone to travel to Lhasa in the future!
