What pit avoidance guides are worth referring to when traveling to Shanxi?

Based on my own experience, I consulted my friends who have traveled to Shanxi and tearfully summarized the following five pit prevention guidelines. Little friends who want to travel to Shanxi hurry up!

First, self-driving is not recommended.

The overall terrain of Shanxi is still relatively complex, and the scenic spots are scattered. If you go to road trip blindly, you will waste a lot of time and fuel on the road because you are not familiar with the terrain and route. You can buy a return train ticket just by spending money on gas on the way. In addition, the overall terrain of Shaanxi requires high experience of drivers, and novice Xiaobai is easy to get lost and be in danger.

Second, the earlier the hotel is booked, the better.

Shanxi is a big tourist province. No matter what season, the number of people traveling to Shanxi is very large, so the earlier you book a hotel, the better, so as to avoid the house price rising too high or no room to live on holidays.

If a tour guide is arranged, you can ask the tour guide to book it for you. Generally speaking, tour guides will cooperate with hotels, which is much more favorable and reliable than booking online alone.

Third, don't listen.

No matter outside the railway station or the airport, there will be many people soliciting customers, such as motorcycles and black cars. When these people see you coming out with big bags and small bags, they will come up and talk to you and let you participate in the activity of "xxx yuan for a few days" Don't trust this kind of activity. Don't be greedy and suffer big losses. Mostly to cheat the commission. Many black-hearted tour groups will also ask for compulsory shopping or sit on the floor to start.

In addition, don't take these people's cars easily. First, security is not guaranteed. Second, it will cost you dearly. A three-kilometer journey may cost you 100 yuan. Some drivers will make a detour. It is recommended to take a regular taxi or take a taxi yourself.

Fourth, don't look for vendors easily.

If you go to Pingyao ancient city, there will be all kinds of vendors chatting with you when you go shopping. Be sure to pay attention Don't talk, don't talk. Don't touch their things unless you touch them. Many vendors will ask you for compensation because you took his things or damaged his things.

When going to Wutai Mountain, if you are traveling with a group, you must follow the tour guide closely. Many local villagers will force you to put a blessing card in your pocket for you to buy. A blessing card costs 40 to 50, which is outrageous.

5. Buy tickets for scenic spots in advance.

Many scenic spots in Shanxi are crowded on any day. Don't wait until you arrive at the scenic spot to make an appointment to buy tickets. You will find that all the scenic spots are bought at the gate, especially Wutai Mountain and Yungang Grottoes. There are so many people in the queue that they can't buy it for an hour or two. So it is recommended to buy tickets in advance.

In addition, don't buy special products at the entrance of the scenic spot. The specialties at the entrance of these scenic spots are simply cheating customers. You can go to a regular store in Shanxi to buy cheap or real goods. And don't listen to the guide to coax you into buying everything. You should know that the role of a tour guide is to introduce you to scenic spots and help you arrange your route, that's all.
