Why are many people now reluctant to travel to Guilin?

Our family went to Guilin in 2017 without a group tour.

I have known since I was a child that Guilin’s landscapes are unparalleled in the world, so I have longed for Guilin.

But after going there, the Elephant Trunk Mountain, which costs 60 yuan for admission, is just a mountain with an elephant trunk shape on the side, and nothing else, really nothing; the Duxiu Peak Royal City, which costs 120 yuan for admission, is not interesting at all. , the houses are all newly built, many are still locked, and there is nothing cultural about them.

After visiting these two attractions, I don’t want to go to other attractions. The tickets are too expensive and the key is that they are not worth it.

I bought a cruise ticket from Guilin to Yangshuo along the Li River. The Li River is really beautiful, but the cruise experience is really bad. The ticket is so expensive (it seems to be 125 yuan), but it only provides a seat. The lunch box, the waiter kept selling extra meals and the air-conditioned room upstairs.

When I arrived in Yangshuo, people asked me wherever I went: Should I take a boat? Or just ask: Do you want to eat? You hesitated for a moment, then came up and pulled. Accommodation in Yangshuo is surprisingly expensive and the service is not good.

Also, there is nothing delicious in Guilin.

Therefore, I don’t want to go because the tickets are expensive, the service is poor, and there is not much food.

Guilin in the world, Liuzhou in China, Nanning in Guangxi, why do so many people know about Guilin and want to travel to Guilin?

First, let’s first talk about the reason why we travel to Guilin. It’s just to see “Guilin’s landscapes are the best in the world”, because when we were young, we knew from textbooks that Guilin’s landscapes are the best in the world. Guilin is very famous. You may not know Guangxi, but you will know Guilin. The background picture of 20 RMB is the Li River in Guilin.

Second, I want to see the singer Liu Sanjie. In the 1960s, the movie "Liu Sanjie" was released, and many people knew about Guilin. By 2004, Zhang Yimou directed China's first landscape reality drama "Impression of Liu Sanjie" in Guilin. , let the world know about Guilin. Many foreign friends came to Guilin to see Liu Sanjie. According to historical records, Liu Sanjie was from Hechi Yizhou, and "Liu Sanjie" was only filmed in Guilin.

Third, Guilin’s delicacies include Yangshuo beer fish, Guilin rice noodles from Guangxi’s three major restaurants, Lipu braised pork, Gongcheng camellia, Quanzhou vinegar blood duck, and Lingui’s Niubabao. Guilin Sanbaobao~chili sauce, fermented bean curd, Sanhua wine, many people go traveling just for the food. Why are many people now unwilling to travel to Guilin?

First, the attraction fees are high

Many people travel to Guilin, mainly to Yangshuo County, Guilin, because the main attractions in Guilin are all In Yangshuo, including Shili Gallery, Yulong River Bamboo Raft, and Yangshuo West Street, many people feel that the charges for attractions in Shili Gallery are unreasonable and very expensive. Moreover, many of the attractions are man-made and not naturally formed, so they feel that they are not cost-effective. Every attraction There is a fee.

Many people who take a boat cruise on the Li River from Xingping feel that the fee is a bit expensive, and there are so many people on holidays that the fee will increase. Many people always feel that they are being ripped off.

Second, the hotel is too expensive

Every time you visit Guilin and Yangshuo during the holidays, you will find that the hotels there will be much improved during the holidays. Because there are many tourists, they do not book in advance. You don’t have a hotel to stay at at all, so you end up staying in some residential houses or B&Bs.

When we were freshmen, we went to Yangshuo during the National Day. Because we didn’t book a hotel in advance, we ended up staying in a local private house in Guilin. The equipment in their house was a bit different from that of the hotel, but the price was not expensive. , the aunt in Guilin is also very talkative.

Third, food is too expensive

If you go to Guilin Yangshuo to eat beer fish, if you go to some well-decorated hotels and restaurants, the price will not be very cheap. Speaking of Guilin, the price is much better. There are many kinds of fish used in Guilin beer fish, but the sword bone fish is the most delicious. If you want the atmosphere and decoration, and it is a holiday, the price will naturally not be cheap. If you go to the riverside to eat At the food stall, sword-bone fish costs 35 yuan per pound. Two fish are enough for a table, and 5 pounds of fish costs 175 yuan. The taste is the same as in restaurants and hotels in West Street. At that time, we students chose It's a food stall by the river, and just tell me the price in Guilin dialect.

Many people don’t speak Guilin dialect, so eating in Yangshuo is naturally a little more expensive. This is normal, so if you want to avoid being ripped off, you should learn a few local words and eat less.

Fourth, the supporting facilities around the scenic spots are relatively poor

Whether it is the scenic spots in the city or the scenic spots in Yangshuo, there are relatively few supporting facilities and there are no entertainment facilities. Today's young people are attracted to seeing mountains and rivers.

Guilin has many tourist attractions, but the awareness of supporting facilities has not improved in recent years. Many attractions are surrounded by buildings and there are too few entertainment venues.

Fifth, evaluation of Guilin

Many foreign tourists will convey their feelings about traveling to Guilin to their colleagues and friends, and now in the Internet age, many people put it aside Going online, through videos or articles will influence many people.

The sky-high price of salamanders in the past and the recent Elephant Trunk Mountain photo incident have had a certain impact on Guilin. Some tourists were also ripped off and spread online, which naturally led to a decrease in tourists.

During the National Day, Guilin received 2.93 million tourists and tourism revenue reached 3.6 billion, while Nanning received 4.77 million tourists and tourism revenue was 2.9 billion yuan, and Liuzhou received 3.99 million people and tourism revenue was 270,000 yuan.

The reason why Nanning’s number of visitors is so high is because Nanning is the transportation hub of Guangxi, and many people have to transit in Nanning. Guilin ranks third in terms of number of visitors, but its tourism revenue is the highest.

Basic route for traveling to Guilin

First, after arriving in Guilin on the first day, you do not go to Yangshuo immediately, because the urban area is some distance away from Yangshuo. We go by bus, so on the first day we can visit the city and go to tourist attractions such as Elephant Trunk Mountain, Wangcheng, Diecai Mountain, etc. In the evening, we can take a night tour of Two Rivers and Four Lakes.

On the second day, take a car to Xingping, take a boat cruise on the Li River, and see the mountains and rivers of Guilin. In the process, you will feel that Guilin has many mountains and the water is very clear.

The third day is to go to Yangshuo, Guilin. During the day, you can go to Shili Gallery to see the scenic spots. When you return to West Street in the evening, you can stroll along Guilin West Street. It is crowded during holidays and you can also watch people at night, but West Street There are many bars on the street where you can sit down, drink, chat, and listen to music.

On the fourth day, I went to Longsheng Rice Terraces. The pictures are quite beautiful, but if you are often in the countryside, the feeling will be the same. But if you are in the city all year round, it is also good to feel the environment here. good.

It’s enough to go to Guilin once. You will definitely feel a little disappointed the second time. I went to Guilin University twice during my four years. The first time I went, I felt it was novel. The second time I went with When my friends went there, it felt like going through a formality. If I didn’t want to see the attractions, I might as well eat more beer fish on West Street.

I went to Guilin during the Spring Festival in 2017. Let’s talk about the deceiving Guilin tour.

First, we took a boat along the Li River to Yangshuo. Along the way, the waiters on the boat sold various small commodities but did not introduce a word about the scenery along the way. There is a VIP room on the second floor to enjoy the scenery, which costs an additional 360 yuan per person. The good photo spots on the deck are occupied by others, and there is a fee for taking photos.

To see the impression of Sanjie Liu, you must get a ticket from the tour guide. Each ticket costs 260 yuan. The tour guide collects the money one by one in the car. There was also a rafting project at that time, which cost 400 yuan per session. Many tourists paid the money even if they didn't want to. I have the impression that Sister Liu watched it in the open air. It was cold and many people rented coats at night. After watching it, it didn't feel as good as advertised.

Travel products are sold on the bus, including Luo Han Guo, Guilin fermented bean curd and so on. The tour guide said it was the driver’s hard-earned money, and I hope everyone will understand the driver. All the tourists paid for high-priced monk fruit.

The tour guide has a bad attitude. After the tour, at Guilin Railway Station, the tour guide gave us train tickets in the square. Many people took the tickets and entered the ticket gate. No one said goodbye to the tour guide. The tour guide stood by himself for a while and then left awkwardly.

What a pity for the mountains and rivers.

Guilin’s landscapes are the best in the world, and Yangshuo’s landscapes are the best in Guilin.

It should be said that Guilin is a world-famous tourist city. A large number of tourists go to Guilin every year for sightseeing, leaving many good impressions on tourists.

However, due to various reasons, some people who have traveled to Guilin over the years are indeed "very excited before going, but disappointed after visiting". So much so that these people have the idea of ??never traveling to Guilin again.

So, why does this happen? Runyou believes that there are three obvious problems in Guilin's tourism:

First, the phenomenon of "traps" for tourists exists, which has brought a very bad impression. Runyou and his party of three went to Guilin during the National Day holiday in 2018. After getting off the plane at Guilin Airport, they took a taxi to the booked hotel. On the way into the city, the rental car driver repeatedly recommended to us the "Guilin-Yangshuo Li River One-Day Tour". He said that if you want to visit the Li River, you must be brave enough to buy tickets, otherwise there will be too many tourists during the National Day and you will not be able to buy tickets. You can’t swim in the Li River. Due to the driver's repeated deception, we had no choice but to take him to a travel agency in the city to buy tickets for the "Lijiang One-Day Tour" on October 2. However, on October 2nd, it was said that we were cruising the Li River. In fact, most of the day was spent shopping at the jewelry stores on the way, driving on the mountain roads, and having lunch. There is no need to actually swim on the Li River. It takes an hour, and it is said that it is not the main channel of the Lijiang River, but a branch of the Lijiang River.

Secondly, tickets are generally too expensive, which gives tourists the impression that they are “rip off”. For example, there is a 5A-level scenic spot in the city of Guilin - Jingjiang Prince's Mansion (including Duxiu Peak). This scenic spot is very small. It only takes 2 hours to swim down slowly, but the entrance fee is 150. Yuan, and many doors in the scenic area are closed, so tourists can't see anything at all. For example, the entrance fee for a scenic spot as big as a palm like Elephant Trunk Mountain is 80 yuan.

Third, the service attitude and quality are poor, leaving a bad memory for tourists. For example, when traveling on the Li River, the waiters on the cruise ship were not dedicated to serving tourists, but basically selling souvenirs and "private rooms" on the cruise ship. They ignored legitimate requests and inquiries from tourists. Attitude, some even say "both aggressive and ruthless", leaving tourists with the impression of poor attitude and poor service.

Thank you for your questions and answers. The main reason is that there is a huge gap in the publicity and management of people. After entering the reform and opening up, some people are too quick and quick, and they are all commercializing, lacking the intimacy of human nature, and also It lacks the combination of truly outstanding Chinese culture and landscape, and most of it is artificial scenery with sky-high prices, so it will gradually lose its appeal. The thousands of monuments are not as good as people's reputation. People will know better if they have a reputation in their hearts. Only by re-establishing a good image can we regain our past glory. It all depends on man-made efforts. The above is only my personal opinion and is for reference only.

Guilin has unique terrain and beautiful scenery. “Guilin’s landscapes are the best in the world, and Yangshuo’s landscapes are the best in Guilin.” The beautiful scenery of Guilin I saw in books and media has always fascinated me. I must set foot on this magical land to appreciate the beautiful scenery.

On the National Day of 2018, I didn’t want to use my brain and didn’t make a travel guide. I signed up with my husband for a tour group to visit Guilin. We arrived in Guilin on September 30, and the local travel agency picked us up. This was a group tour with tourists from several provinces. Everyone had a lot of fun in the first two days: Li River cruise, Yulong River bamboo raft, Silver Rock... Everyone kept saying that the scenery was so beautiful. On the third day, the tour guide started to talk miserably in the car, saying that it was not easy for him to be a tour guide: his wife was unemployed, he had to make money to support the family, and he had two children at home. My parents are still in their hometown in Northeast China and are not in good health. They have to send money back to their hometown for medical treatment. I hope to take advantage of the National Day tourist season to improve my performance. Today, the tourist consumption must reach the company's required amount of 50,000 yuan (tourists are in his hometown). The amount of money spent in the store where the guide goes), otherwise he may be put on the job, and the company will not take him with him in the next tourist group. Today, everyone must help him pay the bill no matter what. First he took us to a chicken blood stone shop. There were many old people in our group, and most of them did not have high incomes. Not many people bought it at that time, so the tour guide kept brainwashing us in the car. Later, two old people said something about him. , he actually started to curse. A bus full of tourists supported the old man, but the tour guide did not dare to say anything.

Then we came to an ancient village of ethnic minorities in Lipu County. This place mainly sells silverware. Everyone still looked at it and had no intention of buying it. The tour guide and several shop assistants surrounded us and kept brainwashing and persuading us. My husband is a bit fat. They thought he was a rich man and kept telling their ears how good silverware was. My husband couldn't stand their persuasion and bought a cup and a comb, which cost more than 4,000 yuan. They also I kept urging him to buy it, but I finally stopped after losing my temper. A comb and a cup cost less than 40 grams per pound and cost more than 4,000 yuan, which is equivalent to more than 100 yuan per gram. The price of silver on the market is probably less than 10 yuan per gram. Later, we persuaded several tourists from Xuzhou, Jiangsu Province to buy it. In this store, we were not allowed to leave the store until the purchase amount reached more than 30,000 yuan.

In the afternoon, the tour guide recommended that tourists watch the performance of "Reflection of Liu Sanjie" in the evening, and they had to organize a group to get tickets from him. At that time, several young people searched online and found that each ticket quoted by the tour guide was dozens of yuan more expensive than online. I decided to buy tickets online to watch, but the tour guide was unwilling to do so. He said that the tour group fee was already very discounted and he could no longer enjoy the discount. He couldn't buy tickets online. As a result, he didn't get to watch any of the programs. It was a pity.

On the last day, there was no itinerary for tourist attractions, so we could only follow the tour guide to the store he designated for shopping. Because we did not watch "Reflecting Liu Sanjie" that day, a few of us tourists went shopping in a nearby supermarket that night. I walked around, checked the market, and bought some specialties. My return ticket is in the evening. I hope the tour guide can give me the return ticket. I can move around freely. I want to see the Jingjiang Palace (this attraction is not included in this group trip). The tour guide insisted that we go shopping with him, but the items in the store, such as mangoes and fermented bean curd, were much more expensive than in the supermarket we visited the day before. It’s a pity that we didn’t visit Jingjiang Prince’s Mansion, a famous scenic spot in Guilin, so we brought some more “expensive” specialties with us.

Guilin has beautiful mountains and waters, unique natural scenery, and rich tourism resources. It is a good place to travel. If you come to travel and shop non-stop (and the prices are outrageous), there are no attractions you want to visit. If it is done, tourism will lose its original meaning. In order to make money, it hurts the hearts of tourists. Tourists are not fools. If they suffer a loss once, they will not be fooled twice. Over time, tourists will not be willing to come, just for short-term benefits. , and lost long-term development, the gain outweighs the loss. If management and service are done well, tourists will come happy and leave satisfied. With beautiful scenery and suitable climate, who wouldn’t want to travel to such a beautiful place?

I really hope that Guilin’s tourism department will reflect on it, really focus on management, do a good job in honest service and logistics, and do not deceive or rip off tourists, so that Guilin can become a good place with beautiful mountains, beautiful water, and more beautiful people. .

Why are many people now reluctant to travel to Osmanthus? Yeah? Don’t know much? I am a retired employee, 69 years old, chatting at home. When I was only 12 years old in the 1960s, I knew: “Guilin’s landscape is the best in the world!” Who wouldn’t want to travel to Guilin and play a few times! This is true! I saw "Sanjie Liu" in the movie, she is beautiful and sweet! What is most worthy of pride and admiration is that she is smart! Extraordinary wisdom! Mo Laocai was invited to invite 4 talented people, and the men's antiphonal songs were poor and speechless! Sister Liu Sanjie... Since ancient times, folk songs have come out of the mouth, and there are folk songs carried by boats. Sister Liu Sanjie represents the wisdom of the working peasant masses and the fighting spirit of the landlord class! The working people have won! As far as I know, the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region and its ethnic minorities are very hospitable. I would like to travel to Guilin in my lifetime to enjoy the beautiful mountains, waters and even more beautiful people.

Guilin is a good place, but things are horribly expensive. I went there once before and ordered a glass of juice at a bar. A small cup cost 200 yuan. How many people can you tell me how many people charge such a price? Can you afford it?

I took my wife to travel to Guilin last year. To be honest, Guilin is really beautiful and worth a visit. Maybe it’s because the tour fee is too cheap. I plan to buy some things to make up for it. I have a lot of time every day. Visiting jade shops, silverware shops, latex shops, soapstone shops, and silk shops took up a lot of time. The tour guide was very happy when he bought more things every day, but talked flirtatiously when he bought less. I couldn't bear it. Everyone in the store bought a lot. The tour guide was very happy and said that he likes to take us Nanjing people with him. In fact, we were not happy either. We had planned to buy some local specialties to take back. We really don’t need them in other stores. Many places are not full. All done shopping.

Everyone knows that Guilin’s landscape is the best in the world.

Everyone knows that taking advantage of a small amount will lead to big losses.

No matter how delicious the bait is, it is enough for the fish to be fooled once or at most twice.

Facts have once again proved that beautiful mountains and rivers cannot withstand man-made twists and turns. The smell of copper pollutes the scenery and hurts the hearts of tourists. It must be said that this is really a road of no return.

I have traveled many times in Europe, and no matter how beautiful the cultural landscape is, it is indeed rare to find places with such a strong commercial atmosphere like China.

I have also traveled with groups in foreign countries, and I have always felt that tour guides can basically put the group members first. It can be said that they are well-trained in everything.

The premise is that the travel expenses are reasonable.

Traveling, originally, is to see "the water of the Yellow River coming from the sky", to experience a different life, in a word, to encounter beauty.

Beauty needs to be felt with heart, and it needs to be walked with credibility.

Regardless of individuals or companies.

Choose integrity and choose brand as the top priority.

It means integrity and longevity.

Follow @路人行歌, we will look for beauty and understand life together.
