From the end of 20 16 to the end of 20 18, the incident of "beating people and disfiguring their faces" broke out in Yunnan. From forced shopping to tourists being threatened, tour groups were interlocking, asking exorbitant prices, and then humiliating on the way, the exposure of various tourist traps can be said to be endless. With the increasing commercialization of tourism in Dali and Lijiang, more and more people hate dissatisfaction and accusations, and tourism in Dali and Lijiang has been pushed to the forefront of public opinion.
In recent years, Dali and Lijiang in Yunnan can be said to be popular tourist destinations, and the degree of commercialization is beyond your imagination. If you are not fully prepared, you will probably fall into all kinds of interlocking tourist traps that have been designed, and being deceived will become a common thing. So today we will take stock of the tourist "pits" exploded in Dali and Lijiang.
The most negative news is the "black tour guide", and these trapped people are basically traveling with the group. You may not imagine how annoying the language and behavior of "black guides" are. The following is the specific event: Three years ago, a video titled "Lijiang Tour Guide in Yunnan Province scolded tourists for not buying things, which is even more humiliating than selling X" was madly 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 things that satirized the tourists as "penniless" and insulted the tourists as "rogues". Afterwards, after CCTV exposure, the tour guide was revoked his license. However, the fundamental reason is not only the simple responsibility of tour guides, but also the vicious competition among local tourism industries, especially tour groups, which leads tour guides to get high commissions only by forcing tourists to buy souvenirs, which is one of the important reasons for the emergence of many "low-cost tours".
Followed by an affair scam. If you have an affair in Lijiang because of a song "go to dali" or a movie "Be elated" or a micro movie "Encounter Lijiang", or because of some gimmicky articles written by the media, such as "Top Ten Encounter Cities in China" and "Encounter Lijiang, Don't regret it", you will have the idea of having an affair in Lijiang. Then I remind you, please put away your luck and show your rationality. Because many merchants are waiting for you with the same idea as you, under the guise of "waiting for you to have an affair", you will find that you may meet bar owners, beer with peanuts, ranging from hundreds to thousands. Please remember: in Lijiang, an affair is just a legend. Don't take it seriously.
Because I often receive submissions from Yunnan travel guides, here are some travel pits shared by netizens: 1. The ticket trap in Lashihai is not a single scenic spot, and the tickets range from tens to hundreds. You must be careful to identify them, otherwise they will be slaughtered. 2. The roadside car is a trap for soliciting customers. After getting off the bus, the aunts shouted for a few dollars to send you to Lashihai, to help you escape tickets to Yulong Snow Mountain, or to cheap hotels. In short, there is only money you can't think of, and there is no money they dare not cheat; 3. Yulong Snow Mountain escapes from the ticket gate. The touts say it's fare evasion, but in fact you may not even enter the gate of Yulong Snow Mountain, and you may be induced to go to other places, such as riding horses and visiting temples. If you don't pay attention, it will cost hundreds of thousands. 4. Shopping trap, you may have heard of "child care" before, but in Dali and Lijiang, you will refresh your three views, all kinds of tea plates, medicine plates and jade plates, so please keep your eyes open and don't be greedy for cheap.
I have introduced you to the shady tourism in Dali and Lijiang. Let me give you my opinion.
First of all, so many people insult Lijiang and Dali, not because of Dali and Lijiang, but because of some people. In a word, that is: "scenery is not guilty, people are guilty"! Recently, an article entitled "You should apologize to China Xiang Xue" became popular on the Internet. Just like Lijiang in Dali, please leave criticism to those "routines" and praise to the scenery of Lijiang and Dali. First of all, we must know that people hate all kinds of tourist routines and traps derived from excessive commercialization. These problems do exist, but I believe they will be well solved in the future, and I believe they will give us a different Lijiang in Dali.
Secondly, Dali and Lijiang, the earliest online celebrity cities in China, frequently appear in various songs, movies, advertisements, articles and social media. The beautiful scenery of Lijiang and Dali is still very attractive, especially for young people who like literature and art and slow-paced life.
Finally, I will give you some suggestions in go to dali and Lijiang: First, don't be greedy and cheap; Second, keep a suspicious but simple heart; Third, don't trust the low-priced group at will; Fourth, look at the problem rationally.
