China's most black 13 tourist attractions


Guiyang landmark A 1, Xishuangbanna: "bridal chamber" trap

In Xishuangbanna, there are many so-called village folk customs. For example virgin forest park in Xishuangbanna, there is a love of nuns tribe. Visitors enter the village after the girls will be dressed Huazhizhaozhan warmly welcome visitors into the two-story bamboo house, visit their homes. A woman a short introduction, a waved, came in quite a few girls, without any explanation to a small gourd kind of a lucky charm to the man wearing a neck, and then let you join the so-called bride theft game. "Wedding" and a main event is "into the bridal chamber." Do not think the bridal chamber where there really is a good thing, poor, innocent "groom" are in that obediently Jiaoqian it. Into the bridal chamber, the girl will do to you asking for dowry money.

them to do hard labor for three years. Visitors sleepwalk was stronger pull into the "bridal chamber," Forget that too is not enough to give money to a "bridal chamber." Ocean dig himself reluctantly come to the redemption, ranging from fifty to sixty, as many as on the hundred dollars. If you dig the whole, and where a rule shall not give change. Today, folk customs and folk often become traps. Xishuangbanna, the men and women coming back from the tourists, most of them have such a lesson is this: "the bridal chamber is not just a budding."

2, Jiuzhaigou: the price of beef sold days

Jiuzhaigou tickets are to expensive price tag. Tickets for regular Jiuzhaigou 220 yuan plus 90 yuan ticket, totaling 310. Huanglong Tickets 200 yuan, Tibetan and Qiang Song and Dance will be 180. It took a high ticket price, but do not think that is not in Ai Zai. Kellner Hill in Ga there is a flat on the monument, visitors look at cars, holding horses and yaks have surrounded the locals on the up, "horse camera only cost 5 yuan," but after you according to Wan-Sang, Ma rose to 30 yuan. Jiuzhaigou selling yak meat and Kaoquan Yang, but also slaughter you like cattle and sheep slaughtering. Guides and are keen to take you for free to try yak meat. Free tasting you will laugh at you some money, get petty, but also some people advised you to buy back a friend sent.
In short, you are very careful on the generosity pays for the.
But soon you will regret it incessantly, the same beef, in Chengdu, as long as 22 per pound, but you have to spend in Jiuzhaigou 88. Walled tree is characteristic of Tibetan goods, but most of them produced in the field: A yak is a pigskin Pima done, Haining, Zhejiang origin. There are yak wool shawl scarf, are chemical fiber, and origin Yiwu. What beads necklace, as long as with beads are glass. Wholesale price is about 23 yuan, came from Yiwu into the cargo. Like the Tibetan silver bracelets, Tibetan silver necklaces, Tibetan silver flagon, as long as with Tibetan silver, not iron do is copper. As long as a week to wear, custody Tibetan silver change "hidden money" to restore the face of the copper and iron.

3, Mount Emei: incense is burning money
Mount Emei is also the way to go, visitors will be guided tours on a lesson: All of you are a nice ring, just to catch up Mount Emei, spreading a ceremony, that was hard to come by, the last open-light ceremony, it was in 2000, this time there are 3 days over, you can go to Kaiping Yasumitsu destined, not money, is a joyful engagement merit. This can be really destined ah. However, what set off it, it may request the Buddha and Guan Yin pendant. Guide also has spoken: you can go to the Buddhist Association of Sichuan, certain Buddhist charities invited the Buddha, where the income is donated to the Buddhist Association. Both for security and peace, but also can do good things. A door, shopping guide Miss special passion: as long as 500 yuan will be able to request a Buddha.
You staring at, the most expensive but also 80 one, not the little finger cover big. The family have requested, it was more than 2,000 yuan. To the temple, would like to open the light first call Zhu Xiang, Ping Xiang 60 yuan a cone, incense family portrait 190 yuan.
It was carrying his camera to help you photos please Xiang Zhao, a 15 yuan, 90 yuan a set. Set off, and entered into the Front Hall to see a few people before opening said one simple sentence masters, some people say a man 50. Jiaoliao Qian, "Master," said inside the knees and so on, into a look, the lobby into the rows of kneeling on the whole. Wait until the legs numb, there's a monk come in, end of a cup mouth mutter prayers, and then each person would invite the Buddha and rub the two drip. ok, open light finish. Home one, for this is a free open light, Qi Babai yuan went unwittingly opened, the original "Buddha" is also bad ah.

4, the Potala Palace: Ticket prices have been skyrocketing
Prices like a plague. In the July 1, 2006 before the opening of Qinghai-Tibet Railway, Lhasa hotels have started a substantial price increase on the action, in this nearly doubled the price higher than the Mainland, Tibet's capital, not with the legendary hada and highland barley wine, but rather to be the first "slaughter knife" approach to meet the guests from afar. Do not say double the price of hotel and hostel upgrading is a crowded mess heap outside the station taxi, the driver asking price is 60 yuan, while the original price of the normal 30. Would like to cash in not only the Lhasa Hotel, the first train to Tibet has not completely remove the eolian visitors when the Potala Palace, Tibet Autonomous Region Cultural Relics Bureau will be season ticket prices, from 100 yuan to the 300.
The Potala Palace, the vast majority of tourists come from outside Tibet, as a Tibetan symbol of friendship the two peoples, has 1,300 years of history of the Potala Palace, Tibet's tourism industry is undoubtedly the most brilliant pearl. For tourists going to Tibet, not to the equivalent of never been to Tibet, the Potala Palace. Finally to Lhasa, who would give up to 200 yuan money to visit? Tickets for the implementation of the Potala Palace has long limit, selling only 2300 tickets per day.
However, the ticket price from 100 yuan to 300 yuan, 2,300 people a day did not reduce the number of visitors, their "protection" Where it not? Also, within the halls of the Potala Palace is not allowed to take photographs as required, but as long as certain sum of money, you can shot; to pay more money, you can shoot your fill with the flash facing the Buddha. Is not Jiaoliao Qian, heritage is not compromised on the matter?

5, Laoshan: Taoist priest of the Mai swindle surgery

Laoshan in people's minds, and it is linked to Penglai fairyland: the mountain Taoist everybody Daoxing smart pen Laoshan PU operation through walls, plugging holes left by those Duanqiang is proof. The surgery will eventually wear Laoshandaoshi walls are difficult to trace, while the Huyou's effort was really terrible. In the Laoshan, lectures and guided tours will be mysterious to tell you "there was a place, you have not been to." Then, it will bring you into the temple, a house, 78 "Taoist" like Ying and handsome, like around you, say that this is flushed with wealth, if you want his words, you have to back points fortune.
Road, Long will bring you to the next one "office", the first pulled out his papers for you to see and tell you how many generations his successor, and the donor you are linked by fate and so on. Then start to see your palmistry. Do strike, when you are full of gratitude, ready to retire when they took out a long Road books, understatement, said: random point of incense to donate money. Good Morning, ready to tens of dollars have been donated money, but one turned a head of the book, but was shocked to read the above donor's name and money: xxx, origin, xxx, 3900 Yuan; xxx, origin, xxx, 2000 ... ... donation The number of no less than 1000 yuan. Do not donate? Tao Long unhappy consequences very serious. So you an instant "enlightenment": In addition to disaster or even bankruptcy, this is they never deviate from truth.

6, Turpan Grape Valley: Grape taste of the
"Turpan Hami melon grapes, Korla fragrant pear all boast of." Turpan Grape Valley in trees, the vine into a film. Tianshan snow moisture flowing all day long, the most attractive of course, hung on the branches of the grape, crystal, such as pearls, bright like agate, mouth-watering. In the Grape Valley, packed with stalls selling the grape variety of grapes, golden yellow, purple, brown dazzling, large like a section of the small finger, small, such as large grain of rice, whose name is very strange, there is a woman called red, have called the red men, and some called rule of hypertension, and some called rheumatism, and see dazzling, dizzying.
Grape Valley has a farming grapes to buy may be the cheapest here, but also 50 yuan a pound, expensive, seventy to eighty yuan. To Urumqi, you will find also the most expensive 30 yuan a pound. Grape Valley to go for dinner, and you into the "ditch" of the shopkeeper handed him the menu, the food expensive, outrageous, a bowl of prime pilaf to 15 yuan, 120 yuan a lamb, stir-fried vegetables in twenty or thirty yuan. You complain too expensive and wife will be tempted to argue: We are 4A scenic area, the price is equivalent to five-star hotel.

7, Xi'an: sham spurious

To Xi'an, you may have to be careful. Xi'an, in some places, often only eye movement can not be hands-on. Xi'an everywhere antiques, jade, terracotta souvenirs, Western Zhou Dynasty knife coins, Northern bulk of hi-hat here, visitors always bring some "antique" to go back. However, fake antiques Xi'an get surgery in order to fake true, experts say that with no way out. Xi'an has a street of the famous antiques - of Cox Lane, alley yard filled with small shops selling antiques, snuff bottles, jade, dressing, old locks, porcelain, hair, everything, but these are mostly fake imitations.
Shopping at roadside stalls in Xi'an, but also to be very careful. Some unscrupulous vendors of goods placed into a special triangular, as long as you take, things will fall, but put more things in the bottom of his advance arrangements have been broken. As a result, vendors will tell you how valuable it is antiques, no need to spend several hundred dollars is not acceptable. Xi'an Railway Station Square, opposite a street, fakes are common, and some shops, the owner will be dark-based agencies, Yibing put a knife or sword is very beautiful, as long as you reach for a so-called bracelet of purple clay of the Class will be like dominoes, like fall down. Thus, a value of two dollars a glass "jade bracelets, will give you one or two hundred extortion.

8, Dali: "Old Home Town"
Yunnan to jade known, and proximity to the Kingdom of Myanmar jade. Tourists to Lijiang, multi-buy a jade, but usually pay the slaughter in the dark. Dali and Lijiang in Yunnan and other places, "a consistent pattern recognition natives" sales approach, that is with tourists arrange a match, and falsely claimed the villagers in order to narrow the gap between the two sides from the last cheat tourists to buy jewelry. The jewelry is often shoddy, fake majority. Area price tens of thousands of fine jewelry, was identified, usually 20 to 30 yuan to spread the fakes. In the purchase, the instructors inadvertently, be surprised to say that we are the boss and your hometown. Subsequently, the boss on stage asked them about such and such places home, and later from the business scale of tens of millions of their own.
"Boss" will be a frank self-reported family scandal, self-reported jewelry business operators inside, his own jewelry business with several times the profits of goods, using Ku Rouji to increase trust in each other.
Finally, the boss will pride big time, to cost one-tenth of that price the price of a few limited to the villagers to sell one or two of precious jewelry. This move is often to identify fellow bear fruit, and many visitors will be out Daoxing deep pit.

9, Yangshuo: warmth behind the hideous

Yangshuo is a donkey's paradise, but there are a lot of donkeys planted in paradise on the "flower" under the.
Many of the entertainment city of Yangshuo, the most is to attract tourists seeking Yan Yu. Entertainment City, a lot of bloodshed, but their approach is usually, together with some of the black community guide and some taxi drivers to low consumption, as bait, pull visitors to entertainment consumption, and then ask for Accompanying Miss "special drink." Checkout time, visitors discovered, entertainment city using two different price "Yuanyang" list, checkout the list of so-called "special drink" prices are dizzyingly high.
"Special drink" The fact is Sprite and Coca-Cola and other beverages with one another tune, a few cents to the cost of a cup and sell it to customers is two hundred dollars. There are special service fees, ranging from 600-800 yuan, as many as several thousand, can not pay the money, is not off the body of.

10, dam: riding easy but hard to abandon

Blue sky and white clouds, Ulaan xe clear as a mirror, a boundless grassland, hill and dale bursts of wildflowers exudes fragrance, which is dam fascinating. Car every weekend, many people come here to play. Half-way, usually have a lot of locals come to solicit at low cost to attract foreign visitors, but these hotels generally in very poor condition and there is no business license, and frequent security issues. In the dam to be especially careful driving in many places are kept together, driving along the dirt road into an area, someone may not be drilled into it here, get money, believe it would have been blackmail.
Horse riding is the most attractive tourist dam project, charges of course, are not low. 3rd Jun Machang near Hongshan households in particular will pit the business tourists. Arrived there, tourists have not touched horses, will give you calculate the effect of time, and so you get the horses, time has been 10 minutes. Owner of the horse holding horses leisurely walk, unless the tourists 1 hour horse riding, 1.5 hours to pay the money, he would reluctantly let his horse run a few steps. Said that a good 40 yuan / hour cost of a ride can be difficult under this horse, and not help you, the locals will be pulling around on a horse at random half a day to return to the starting point, easily consume two to three hours. Ask for a few hundred dollars is not uncommon phenomenon Qianma fee.

11, Taishan: the mountain down the mountain, "Heroes" more
Taishan five mountains only use natural scenery majestic, magnificent, human history and thick, it carries the essence of Chinese history, 5000, is a symbol of Chinese culture. At that time, Confucius Goldenthal mountains and small world, and now, Tai Shan who is also the disdain the world. Taishan tourists, you have to careful, from time to time to pay the price for your camera: take the money.
Slightest excuse or discontent, is the disrespect of Taishan, ranging provoke blame threats and Tai groups are incurred a "fist of courtesy", tourists have been wounded in incidents continue to occur. My feeling is Taishan for guests to stay under a lot of unscrupulous business practices and the slightest mistake, they slaughtered, if the dispute together, Taishan people will be very angry, the consequences will be very serious.

12, Sanya: rogue's paradise

Sanya rogue because of the Internet and "notorious." Small business operators force purchases and sales, gang fights tourist event is the Internet exposure, known as the CPE, the whole affair so that we can see that, without the connivance of insiders scenic, hawker who would never have been high-handed, is simply to do faction underworld. Vice Chairman of Shanxi Province, Sanya slaughtered Lvri Zhou Yu did not say, but also almost beaten in anger letter to Hainan's provincial leaders. These events allow the leadership of Sanya City is no face, began renovation of the powerful, grasping the beating of the hawkers, the withdrawal of the scenic leadership positions.
But the deeper problem is not management, but the idea of the problem and the quality of the problem. Concept does not change and the quality is not raised, the management there will be no qualitative difference. In short, when it will no longer be regarded as "can be any cut of meat," the vast number of tourists realistic expectations; and when it can become "to money and the God of Wealth", then the vast number of tourists common ideal, which is China's tourism economy grade scenic spot management and the only signs!

13, Shaolin Temple: incense equivalent to robbery

Shaolin Temple Main Hall in front of the incense shrine, the most detailed than the arm of a thick incense, the most of a thick incense over sized thick, long have been about one meter 2, a look at not burning incense is burning cash, Buddhist incense, is just a courtesy and rules in order to clear the alcohol aroma or short, good or bad, there are some requirements, but not coarse as possible, as long as possible, past Buddhist can not sized thick incense burning, burning is also made to not come out
ah. Knew where the Buddha had been covered with a layer of copper sector, the smell, I could not help scrape together the past and think that 100 to 10 columns can also go to a Buddhist. Enlightened and a look startle.
Shaolin Temple Main Hall in front of the incense shrine next to wear a cassock sitting three monks, please incense guests over, they first will not tell you prices and rules, but please sign your book signed his own name. Tourists do not know the scrapbook is a trap, it might also mistakenly thought it was their respect for the pilgrims to the Shaolin Temple, groggy put their names to sign up, this sign, you are in a trap.
Signing his name, the monk tell you who signed his name on the pilgrims, Master Shi Yongxin will chant their sutras in person for your misfortunes, and so on. Then pointing to different thickness, gorgeous different, but all gold Guangcan Can incense ask you: donor, you ask which of incense? Because Master Shi Yongxin said earlier misfortunes chanting the words for you, good face of the visitors are generally would choose coarse, ornate high incense, incense Didao you wait until they hand it to tell you that it is six of incense
1000 money.
At that time, do you regret it all too late, the name has already signed up do not talk, smell and were getting hands, then around the surrounding spectators, in front of us for the Buddha, people are generally at this time to Qiantaochulai Yan Zhao grievances. Fortunately, I have a request of incense in front of people, so I do understand this process, and it did not last that when the.
Gao Xiang Xiang shrine inside, the most expensive 600, the most expensive of 6000, that visitors choose one of the most thick incense, he heard the 6000 money, time, clicking on the white face, brush, and stiff there. His wife followed behind, face lift longer, pulled a man's sleeve to go, the monk said, donor, you have already signed off a name. Men Kusangzhuolian, begged his wife and said, well, 6000 to 6000 bar, Xinchengzeling, or even bankruptcy ward off evil Well.
After reading this scene, I turned away, a 6000 incense money, not to mention I can not afford to burn, burn it will neither burn, Where is the burning incense, ah, obvious white lie enrichment Well before the Buddha.
I think what kind of society people have, it might be tailor-Ben Zhao money incense to 6000, there are people who do not care about money-burning. If the Shaolin Temple not to engage in fraud, you can put the incense in front of a niche brand, price tag, those who are willing bait.
But they did not, three monks sitting there, doing dirty tantamount to deceive. But still has not escaped the robbery. Go to the last face a hall, I saw Dianmen was open, some people burn incense and kowtow there. I thought there could not burn incense and incense money, money to support the Hang Leba plug box.
So the money point of an incense, and down knock three heads, there is no climbing up a sand monk Ga Chuanhui cloth came, Shuang Zhang heshi, read soon as Amitabha. He said that, here is a place kowtow vow, so I have to sign a Sachet. At this time realized that, fooled, but the head has been knock finished, we can not Paoba?
Then followed the monk to his wooden fish in front, he took out a Sachet, there are six poems, one poem at the outset of each is a figure that let me choose a number, each figure represents 100 days, they would Buddha Village for the people who signed his name on chanting, please complete the wish of Buddha bless the pilgrims. I am actually quite an intelligent man, certainly know the figures behind the trap, we chose the smallest one number "6", indeed, I have unfinished hook, the monk soon as they read Amitabha, saying that chanting has to pay a dollar a day, I have chose the 600 days, to pay 600 money. If I did not say was clearly on the white one as, say? 600 out of money on the table, turned leave.
