Most people have been cheated in these popular tourist destinations before they realize it. Have you been cheated?

People who like to travel should have been cheated by some inexplicable scams in the process of traveling. Some seemingly innocent local customs or time-honored habits are often the scam itself.

This article summarizes some scams hidden in various places, and 99% people may have been cheated before they realize it. Let's take a look at the experiences of those cheated tourists. Do you have a similar experience?

Netizen 1No. (Sanya, Hainan): 14 I met it when I went to Sanya, Hainan for a group tour. I went to Dadonghai to play. The tour guide said that I would play here for 2 hours. My husband and I saw many people playing speedboats at the seaside and took them to the seaside. Because we don't have this experience, we just want to experience it.

At first, it was said that it would cost 100 yuan to transfer to another place at sea. At that time, when I was playing, I only felt that the boat was almost overturned by the waves, and I was very scared. The total time was less than 15 minutes. They said they had finished the transfer and returned to the shore soon. Finally, they wanted 700 yuan. Later, we made a counter-offer to 500 yuan.

Note: Sanya, Hainan is famous for its seaside scenery, so the scams are mostly concentrated on some sea play projects. It is suggested that tourists should make their own play strategies even with the group.

For example, know the price of some sea games in advance or consult a tour guide before playing directly. Secondly, you can ask some tourists who have just played games and ask them how they feel. In short, be sure to ask all the details, including safety, before playing.

Netizen 2 (Qingdao): I didn't sign up to travel to Qingdao for the convenience of playing. At first, we played navigation well by ourselves. On the third day, I wanted to go to other distant scenic spots and signed up for a tour in the hotel lobby travel agency.

When we arrived at the scenic spot, the tour guide asked us for the transportation fee. If we didn't buy it, we might have to stay there and find our own car. We have no choice but to agree. It's almost time to play in the afternoon. We should go back, but we didn't take the so-called scenic bus. The transportation fee is just a pit. At that time, when buying tickets, the tour guide said that the places to go were very good and there were many places worth going, but we didn't go anywhere and overcharged. It's really a pity.

Note: it is recommended that tourists who have already planned to travel by themselves should do all the strategies in advance. There will be many problems when they plan to report to the tour group halfway, especially in unfamiliar places.

Suggestions You can look at some travel suggestions and possible problems given by people on some travel platforms and make preparations in advance. Qingdao seafood should also be paid attention to, and seafood stalls around the country should be carefully selected for health. Many seafood sold are not fresh and are reserved for foreign tourists.

Netizen No.3 (Great Wall): Last time I went to Shuiguan to climb the Great Wall, I met several deceived tourists who reported a one-day tour. They say it's not like Badaling Great Wall. I said you were cheated. This is the Shuiguan Great Wall built in the Ming Dynasty. They say that Beijing tour guides also lie? I'm telling the truth.

Netizen No.4 (Wudang Mountain): The free commentator on Wudang Mountain is very powerful. He will take you to a special room, close the door when you enter, and then arrange for everyone to go to the Taoist alone, saying that you will have bad things and give you money to solve them. It's dark.

Netizen No.5 (Xiangxi): I once saw some cigarettes with local characteristics in furong town, Xiangxi, and bought them. There are also some bandits smoke in Xiangxi and other places. There are only a few inferior cigarettes in each pack, which is seriously inconsistent with the sample. I bought/10 ***30 * * 30 packs, all of which are fakes. Please be careful not to be fooled by friends swim!

Netizen No.6 (Emei Mountain): When Emei Mountain went down, a person who claimed to be a staff member of Emei Mountain took the initiative to chat with you about the scenery and local customs. When you are familiar with it for a while, I will tell you about the specialties. At this time, you will pass many specialty stalls, gradually relax your vigilance and buy some at any one. The enthusiastic staff kept urging me to buy more, but it didn't feel right. Dashan didn't want to cause trouble, so he spent 200 yuan on Emei Mountain.

Can you believe it? The selling point of the whole mountain is her related households, and the price is ten times that of online. My real experience.

Of course, there are more or less scams in various tourist attractions, which can be said to be impossible to prevent. To sum up, it is mainly the following aspects.

If it is some special food, you can consider eating it and taking it away. If it's something special, remember not to buy a lot in the same place, and don't listen to the merchants completely. Some scenic spots have high fake prices.

In fact, the so-called local specialties can be bought in many places now, just with a different name and packaging.

For example, Zhouzhuang's special pig's trotters are also sold in Xitang. All kinds of cheongsam silk are featured in Jiangnan water town. If you really like it, you can buy some as souvenirs or give them away or collect them yourself.

The play items of each scenic spot are different, just because fancy tourists don't have similar experiences. Out of curiosity, there are some very mysterious scorpions, and ordinary tourists will be promoted or attracted by what some children say.

The unique gameplay may really become the most unforgettable point in the trip. If it is an exciting project, it should be based on its own safety and cannot be blindly followed; If it is other activities, it is suggested to observe the reaction of others after their experiences first, not too impulsive, and consider it in many ways.

The emergence of scams is sometimes related to tourists' lack of basic common sense, love to take advantage of small things and love to join in the fun.

Generally speaking, some related products will be derived from areas with tourism as the main development, whether it is some sightseeing experience projects or local specialties, what we can do as tourists is to improve the resolution and not to be blinded by some publicity during the trip.

Of course, as long as you don't believe in cheap hotels, cheap air tickets and cheap meals on the trip, you will basically not be cheated. After all, traveling outside requires more care and thinking.

Do a good job of self-help tour, try to choose a regular travel agency, a regular hotel and a regular channel ticket for the tour group, and be careful to talk to strangers during the tour.

In addition, you can also look at the local general price and some problems from the comments of some tourists who have been online, and make all the preparations.
