Tourism chaos, how many pits are you unaware of?

The outside world is wonderful, so more and more people choose to go out and have a look. The vast world, colorful folk customs and wonderful stories attract tourists all the time.

But have you ever found that many people leave with excitement, excitement and curiosity before traveling, but they are annoyed and depressed after returning. Why is the contrast so big? Because-he stepped in the pit.

In recent years, there have been many chaos in tourism. If you don't know the destination in detail and make a good strategy before you travel, then your journey will inevitably encounter some unpleasantness. But if you can learn from previous experience, the result will be very different.

Now I'll tell you some travel experience, so that you can know more about the pit in advance.

? ① Choose a destination.

Before you travel, you must have a goal in mind. But there are also many people who, like me, spend their holidays there, but still don't know where to play. Then you need to figure out what you want, such as enjoying rural scenery, surfing by the sea, children's paradise, places of interest and so on. Then according to the length of your holiday, you can initially set an optional destination.

After finding the destination, it is relatively simple to choose a group tour. See if there are any good items in those tour groups, and if the price is moderate, you can sign up. But if you choose a self-help tour, you must do a good job of investigation first. If there is anything interesting to go to your destination, make a plan before you act, or you will be at a loss after you go.

2 choose what to play.

Before we decided to go to a place, we really didn't know what was interesting and how much fun it was. And because of time, we can only choose a few representative places as our travel destinations.

When we search in Baidu or travel APP, many scenic spots will be recommended, so how to choose? Are those 5A-level scenic spots and 4A-level scenic spots really the places we want to go? Look at the tourists' comments before you decide!

I have been to many places before, but I am always more disappointed than surprised. For example, Gulangyu Island in Xiamen, Wonderland in the Cave in yingde city, butterfly spring in Yangshuo, Guilin, and Fantasy Hundred Flowers Island in Dongguan ... These places are beautiful and I really want to go. We stood in line for hours and walked a long way to see it. But when you arrive, you will find that how much hope you have in your heart, how much disappointment you will have later.

③ Consult the local people.

When I went to Guilin, I saw so many scenic spots recommended on the Internet that it was difficult to choose and choose at once. Butterfly spring is very disappointing, but Yinziyan is not bad. But this one only played 1 day. How to arrange two more days? Everyone is not interested in spending more than 100 yuan to see a golden rice wave because we are rural people.

I wanted to go to the Lijiang River by boat, but I lost interest because I walked several kilometers along the Lijiang River that night and talked with some local people. However, because I have seen the Lijiang River scenery in 20 yuan before, I think it is still worth a visit. It's just that the place is a little off, and the road is narrow, so it's hard to get in. Maybe it's better to join the group.

Because children like to watch animals, we bought tickets for the zoo. At that time, some passers-by told us that the zoo was not fun, but we still drove for hours. As a result, the staff there also told us that many rare animals in it had already died, and now most of them are poultry. So at his suggestion, we returned the tickets to the zoo and changed the itinerary again.

Tip: When choosing a scenic spot, you must keep your eyes open and check the app. Scenic spots in 2A and 3A are not recommended (unless there is no charge). You can carefully check the experience and evaluation of others' play, and sometimes you can judge whether this scenic spot is worth visiting by looking at the pictures uploaded by others.

Help here does not mean ordinary help with little effort.

When we were at the gate of Guilin Zoo, the "staff" spoke standard Mandarin, which sounded like northerners. He told us that there are several interesting places that can show us the way and buy us tickets if necessary. If he helps to buy the ticket, the price will be much cheaper than the market price. We have encountered this situation many times before. Taxi drivers and hotel owners told us that we could buy tickets on our behalf, as long as XX yuan. I feel that it is indeed cheaper than the US delegation, but I just dare not let them buy it.

I just asked casually how much this would cost. He said the ticket was about 100, and then gave him 5 yuan for a trip. I was surprised and a little happy. I thought I met a warm-hearted person and readily agreed. As a result, you understand that tickets are more expensive than those bought on the spot! The extra travel expenses were given to 20 yuan.

Tip: The ancients said, "If you have nothing to pay attention to, then you are either a traitor or a thief." It's not entirely true, but it's good to pay attention About buying tickets, it is best to buy them online, such as Meituan/Ctrip/Tuniu, or directly at the scenic window. Those local strangers or tour guides can't be trusted.

I have been to many places and stayed in many hotels. Only Qingyuan yingde city impressed me the most!

Before, we chose to go to a remote place like jiulong town, yingde city, because we wanted to enjoy the rural scenery. There are several scenic spots there, and the famous "fairyland in the cave" has been mentioned before, so there is nothing interesting. Also made a big slogan at the gate-the first hole in the world! Hey, this joke is really big!

In the village near jiulong town, we saw that the minimum cost of a standard room in a homestay was 868 yuan. Feeling too expensive, I went back to town to find a hotel, and its triple room was 888 yuan. I think this charge is comparable to that of a 5-star hotel! We are going to stay for two or three nights, and there are some luxuries.

Later, I found a relatively affordable guest house on Meituan, and the price of the above three rooms was 468 yuan. Because it was close, we went straight in and asked the boss if we could book it. As a result, I was suddenly confused. The boss immediately secretly shut down the Meituan, and then immediately raised the price to 620! I was a little angry, so I decided to live farther away. It's convenient for us to drive ourselves anyway. Later, I found a hotel in a neighboring town, and the deluxe double room was only 188!

Tip: You can book a nearby hotel chain online in advance, even if the price rises due to holidays, it will not be too outrageous; If there is no room to book, you can choose to stay in a hotel which is 0/0 km away from the scenic spot/kloc-which is relatively cheaper. Of course, you don't have to worry about joining a group.

Although free travel is very convenient on the road, it is not so convenient after arriving at the scenic spot. The first problem is that there is no place to park.

Not every scenic spot has such a big place for you to park, but some scenic spots are as annoying as scheming bitches. He will let you park your car a few kilometers away from the scenic spot, and then you can choose to walk or take other means of transportation provided by the park. Walking so far, you are probably exhausted when you reach your destination. However, by means of transportation, it is inevitable that you will get hurt. Bus from 30 yuan, motorcycle from 30 yuan (can take two people). If it's a family outing, it's a big expense. What about the return trip? You may have halved your interest in playing before you get to the scenic spot. Therefore, it is difficult to have fun without any foundation.

If you are lucky, there may be a two-person bicycle or even a three-person bicycle for rent, which is much cheaper. I have also met some tricycles specially designed for carrying passengers. If they are crowded together, the whole family will sit up just right, just 15-20 yuan. You can enjoy the scenery along the way slowly and your interest in playing will be much higher.

Tip: There is no better way at this time, either exercise and walk by yourself, or wait to be slaughtered with money. It's better to travel with a group, and someone will help you arrange everything, saving trouble and effort.

When we go to a tourist resort, we always fantasize that we can taste the local food by the way, but many times it backfires. Whether traveling with a group or traveling freely, I always feel that the food is not satisfactory. When you pay a high price and have an unpleasant meal, your mood is even worse.

Therefore, don't expect to find a delicious restaurant near the scenic spot. The probability is small, and the consumption is quite high. If you really want to eat authentic and delicious local food, you'd better stay away from scenic spots.

In addition, if you are used to spicy food, go to Xiangchuan Hotel. If you are used to light taste, go to eat Cantonese food; If you are used to eating noodles and jiaozi, go to the Northeast Restaurant. In short, it is according to your own taste. After all, even if the local specialties are famous, they may not really suit your taste. Don't let bad food affect your travel mood.

Tip: You can consult local people and innkeepers to see if there are any special foods or snacks nearby and which restaurant is more delicious. Most people will tell you.

Here is the key point, there are really many scenic spots!

① take photos

When we go to any scenic spot, we all want to take some photos to commemorate it, right? But in some places, you can't shoot it yourself, or people forbid it. What can you do? For example, when you take a cable car or cableway, for example, when you want to take a photo with someone or something, you can only pay.

Regarding paid photography, the scenic spots in Guilin are the most unique. On many special occasions, there will be staff to take photos for you and print them out. If you want it, pay by the piece. A photo 25-35 yuan varies, some will send a photo frame, and some will not. Plastic expansion is needed, and it has to be submitted to 10 yuan. Somebody else's professional camera is definitely better than our own mobile phone. Take one here and one there, and it will cost several hundred dollars soon.

② Additional pits in the park.

At present, many scenic spots have added projects such as glass plank roads, which may be only 10 meters, and it will cost 20 yuan to go. But these are clearly marked, and you can choose not to go, so they are not pits. But there are still some pits, and we walked past in a daze.

When I went to Yaoshan in Guilin, the tour guide told us that he would take us to the attic to worship Yao Di and learn ancient etiquette for free. Then the etiquette teacher will take out a pile of red cloth and say that he can write us some greetings, and then take it to the bamboo tree outside and tie it up to pray for his family. He will also say many words of blessing to the old people or children around him, so that they will be elated, and then let you pay 100 yuan to contribute to ancient culture.

That doesn't count. After coming out, the guide told us to go up the mountain from the right. As a result, I just came down from the attic and didn't take a few steps to the right. I was warmly welcomed by several people. He asked us to hang the red cloth on the tree first, and then he came back to kowtow, meaning to donate money again. Just got up, the last one pulled over again, let you light a lamp and put on a incense. We were dragged to do it blankly, and then he took out a notebook and donated money. All the other names above were started by 300 yuan. How much did you say you donated?

Go down and pass a passage. You have to go through it to go out. But someone held rice wine for you to taste, and then asked you to throw a little money in. Even if you don't taste it, he will get in your way. Unless things get tricky, you will be embarrassed not to pay.

③ Buy special products and souvenirs.

At the entrance and exit of many parks, there will be many shops or stalls filled with all kinds of strange items, many special products or special decorations, souvenirs and so on. This makes people greedy. Many marked prices are not very expensive, and it is not bad at all. But many specialties are not as delicious as you have tasted or imagined. As for those ornaments, it won't take long.

There are also many lucky draws, such as silver ornaments and jade articles, many of which are fake. Be sure to keep your impulse, but don't be persuaded!

In addition, friends with the group may often encounter the situation that the tour guide becomes a shopping guide. I've been with tour groups several times before, and although I always buy things from tour guides, it's not too outrageous. As long as he doesn't force you to buy it, you can choose not to buy it, or you can choose to buy it in a shop outside at night. However, I really think the specialties I eat are similar everywhere. Even if it is bought locally, it won't feel particularly delicious. Unless you find an authentic food store, the taste he makes may be purer, which is definitely much more delicious than batch processing.

It is tiring to write so much. There are still some pits, and we will fill them later when we have time.
