Is it reliable to buy insurance for Dali tourism in Yunnan? Is there any compulsory shopping?

This is definitely a scam. There are fewer people going to Yunnan now, and their local tourism bureau has engaged in all kinds of free travel (some have insurance, some are residents' committees, some are units, which are said to be organized by the Yunnan government) and low-cost tours (the tours I go to range from 200 to 980), all of which are so-called shopping groups. When you arrive in Yunnan, the tour guide will show his true colors, saying that you are playing dumb and understanding, saying that you want to take advantage of ethnic minorities and don't come out without money, and so on. The tour guide has been scolding you. The scenic spots I take you to are all small ones. Cheap ones mainly take you to buy tea, jade, silverware and Huang Longyu. Along the way, I embellished it and threatened that if I didn't buy it, I would have to calculate the tour fare separately, at least 5 thousand Tour guides will register one by one, and no one will be spared. I know that things in these shopping spots are so expensive that I have to bite the bullet and buy them. Each shopping spot lasts about 3 hours, and a shopping guide has been following you and watching you until you buy something and get on the bus. I changed tour guides all the way, slept in different places, and my luggage was in the car. I eat, live and play badly. It was a private hotel, and cockroaches crawled on the bed. Even before boarding the plane on the last day, I have to take you to the flower market. What nonsense flower market? I haven't seen many flowers. Actually, I just rent a place to collect all the things on it so that you can buy them again. Some people in our group have to catch a plane at 4 a.m. They arrived in Kunming at 9: 30 the night before and were taken to the flower market for consumption. It is inhuman to give them a room to sleep after consumption. I was given this opportunity. I visited four scenic spots in five nights and six days, and there were more than four shopping places. Then drive all the way, Kunming-Chuxiong-Dali-Lijiang-Kunming, can't eat well or sleep well. Being scolded by the tour guide with a microphone all the way, I had to sit up straight, look at him and respond to his words. I met many tourists at the scenic spot, and 80% of them were like this. They always say that we tourists should spend more money to support ethnic minorities, but the problem is that even if I spend money, I can reach the poor who really need it, which is not cheap for these tour guides and unscrupulous businessmen. It is precisely because of their above-mentioned behavior that the tourism industry in Yunnan has declined. It is difficult to cast a net across the country and organize various individual groups to defend rights in this deceptive way. Our tourists all over the country should resist this inhuman and deceptive travel in Yunnan, and don't go to Yunnan! ! !
